THE TIME NOT RIPE FOR ANOTHER BULL MOVEMENT. The New York circular of Henry Clews says: ““Mopetary conditions show decided improve- ment, and easier rates now prevail, owing to the hpavy Hguidation of speculative accounts Guring the last few weeks and to the efforts of especially Secretary Shaw's de- bonds. The prospects, notwith- are that money will remain firm un- the Jan y disbursements, as funds in active empl ent in thé interfor and 1 not return with any freedom until toward the close of the year. There has been no seri- in the money market; the demand rel mes chiefly from those who have in- nvenienced themselves by excessive specula- n. The recent stringency very largely was the result of the overdoings of the last two ears, which are well understood in Wall street, nd it is far better that a natural correction uld be applied in the form of higher rates for money than that such commitments should allowed to remain. There has been a great 1 of forced liquidation of the wholesome sort nore may have to come later before the tion prevailing in Wall street is fully re- d and thereby the money situation perma- Iy adjusted. The prospects of gold imports materially improve. Our large borrow- in Europe and the necessity of paying back loans, together with slight distrust on these the part of European bankers in'the speculative s tuation here, all tend to discourage an influx | gold. Hence the only road to easier money stronger bank reserves is the steady with- funds from speculative purposes, been and. still continues to be the whicl very proper policy of New York banks.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.—The statement of the Associated Banks for the week ending ‘to-day shows: Loans, $870,977,000; increase, $5,626,- 800. Deposits, $882,685,300; increase, $19,55 500. Circulation, $40,125,900; increase, $2,2 800. Legal tenders, $9,420,300; Increase,- §2, Specie, $169, increase, $14, Reserve, $208,152,600; Increase, §1 . _Reserve required, $220, ;- crease, $4,889, Surplus, ' $17,181,475; in- crease, §12,173,215. United States deposits, 1,800; increase, $12,199,575. The Financier says: The striking feature of the official statement of the New York Asso- ciated Banks last week’was the reflection in the exhibit of almost the entire amount of cash distributed during the bank week for bonds bought by the Treasury and almost the amount paid for bonds on Friday, October 17, less the average for one day of such disburse- These payments, together, amounted 88,254, while the bank statement showed a gain in cash of $17,063,100, of which $14,- 920,500 consisted of specie and $2,112,600 of legal tenders. The loans were increased by . probably by reflecting syndicate | operations during the week. The deposits were nu;nmnted by §19,659,500, or $3,030,400 less than the total of the increase of the loans and the gain in cash; therefore the statement was technically out of proof. The required reserve was increased by $4,889,875. Deducting this sum from the gain in cash leaves $12,173,225 as the increase In surplus reserve, carrying 81,475, against $14,713,175 at the corresponding dates lagt year. Computing the surplus reserve upon the basis of net de- posits less $40,065,400 of those of the Govern- mert, shows an Increase of $12,199,575 ¥in the surplus to $27, One notable feature of the statement was an increase of $2,217,800 in circulation, making a gain in this item In two weeks of '$4,056,400. Comparisons of _ loans with those of the previous week show that four of the larger banks increased this item by $6,500,000. Comparisons of changes in the itam of specie indicate that four banks gained $15,800,000, of which one alone reported an in- crease of $14,800,000, or practically all the specie increase of the week. Some of the in- stitutions having numerous correspondente in the interior note decreases in cash, reflecting the outward movement of money in the latter half of the week. The important increase in re- serve, resulting from the bond payments, places the banks in a very strong position, which can be maintained if a conservative course shall be pursued. The new circulation will probably flow rapidly to the West. Condition of the Treasury. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—To-day's state- ment- of the treasury balances in the treasury fund, exclusive of the $150,000,000 gold reserve in the division of redemption, shows: Avail- able fiznsll balance, $223,546,765; gold, $113,~ Exports and Imports.

There was great excitement in the pit yes- terday_morning, and December Wheat was run up to $1 34% and May to $1 35. Sales amount- ed to somewhere about 20,000 tons.
