NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Developments of the week, eside from the latest turn in the coal- strike situation, include a relaxation of the rate for time money, a sharp upward movement in Manhattan and almost a total cessation of liquidation which began six weeks ago, since which time there has been a decline of over fifteen points in a great number of active is- sues. The greater ease of time money is the rescit of liberal lending by the prominent banking iuterests with foreign conneclons. It fe to be noted, however that Europe is still very bearish in its attitude toward this mar- ket @s was shown by steady sales for various ental accounts. Much of the fmprove- ment shown in the latter part of the week was due to high-class buying of certain stocks, notably St. Paul, some of the Pacifics, Gould stocks and Amalgamated Copper, but there was heavy covering by the short 1 rest and many room traders took the long sfte. Manhattan was tne sensational feature, making a max mum advance of twenty points on very lame operations. Its early course was shrouded in much mystery, but toward the end of the week reports were current that control of the sys- pad been mcquired by the Interborough | y. or sub-way interests. | ed, although as | yet unconfirmed. There was considerable pool- | selling of Manhattan at the top prices. The | other tractions shared only in pert in the | etrength and activity of Manhattan. The move- ment in St. Paul was at times very irregular and the stock made its greatest advance on | Friday, selling up to 180. Rumors that the capital stock is soon to be increased with rights to present holders were again revived. e | pools which thoroughly dominated the market & short time ago were passive and rumors cred- ited some with heavy josses. There were 1o | movements of importance in the industrial group. Sugar was strong and materially higher ©n the advance in the refined product, this | being brought about by the virtual surrender ©of the sugar-beet sugar interests. There was no “ further announcement of cuts in the steel and | iron trade, but the heaviness of certain of these st including the United States Steel stocks, one of the disappointing fea. tures of the week and gave color to the belief that these stocks bave been very wide gistributed and now recelve very littie | support from their sponsors. ‘The advance | in Amalgamated Copper was accompanied by unconfirmed reports of a settiement of ex- isting differences, legal and otherwise. Foreign exchange exercised littie influence Guring the week, although the price held pretty close around $4 7. Indications of early gold exports sre still lacking. The counter- Tovements of currency by teiegraph between this city and San Francisco attracted sonsid- crable attention. The sum of $1,500,000 was transterred to the Pacific Coast and $1,000.000 wae received from thut point. agree that the money sent to San Francisco went to pay crop juovements and tax asessrents. The greater part of the money recelved here repregented Australian and Klondike gold de- posited at San Francisco. In other respects the local financial outicok was quite favor- able. Reports from interior early return of the those points o the is past local banks aiready show cash gains from thie source. Further improvement was shown by the stock market at the opening of & nmll.lb!rT:: tion was doubtiess a contributing factor. Bus- iness was active and fairly well distributed, with more covering by the short Interest. Commission houses were prominent’ through- out the session. Moderat2 ‘was re- ported for out-of-iown acesunts. St. Paul, the feature of yesterday's market, made an were fractionally higher, a 1 per cent advance in Denver and Rio Grande. Read- ing was active and strong, While & be}xt’z'f | Dela & Hudson .. D | Ei | Hocking Val pfd. were the conspicuous industrials. Realizing in large volume wiped out rome of the early gains, St. Paul making material declines, as did also Copper and several other issues. The list as a whole was fairly strong. St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie prefersd was also strong. Comparatively little was noted in Manhattan and local transactions. For no apparent rea- son the market went off on the publication ©f what was regarded as a fairly good bank tatement, and the closing was generally be- low yesterday’s final prices. The bond market followed closely the move- ment of stocks, but fluctuations were not so proncunced either way. United States new 4s declined % per cent, l:ncomnsred with last week on the closing call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stocks— Sales. High. Low. Close. Atchison ...

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The weekly state- ment of averages of the Associated Banks, as compared with last account, shows: Loans $868,217,200, decrease $2,207,000; de- posits $875,706,100, decrease $2,513,300; circu- lation $45,837,700, increase $731,600; leal ten-, ders $67,518,500, increase $395,000; specie $170,- 908,000, decrease §127,300; reserve $238,456,500, increase $573,000; reserve required $218,926,- 625, decrease $628,325; surplus $19,529,975, n- crease $1,201,626; ex United States deposits $207,570,000, increase $1,177,625, ' The Financler'says: The official report of the New York Assoclated Banks last week showed an increase of §573,300 In cash, an amount very closely corresponding with the estimated gain, which was $050,300. The specie de- | creased $122,300, while the legal tenders in- creased .600. The loans were redus 32,207,000, making a contraction of $7,263,400 for the fortnight, a much smaller amount than was looked for, considering the enormous liquidation of smeculative accounts on the Stock Exchange in the previous week. It is probable, "however, that the small loss last week was chiefly due to the loans of funds which had been accumulating for pend- ing syndicate payments. The geposits de- creased $5,513,000, which sum i® greater by $1,633,700 than that called for by the reduc- tion in loans, hence the statement was techni- cally largely out of proof. The required re- serve was reduced $628,325. Adding this sum to the net gain in cash makes $1,201,625 as the increase in surplus reserve. This item now is $19,529,975, against $14,386,925 at the cor- responding date a year ago. Computed upoa the basis of deposlis less those of $40,163,700\ of the Government, the surplus is §29,570,900. The circulation was increased $731,600 during the week, making the amount now outstanding | $45,337,700. At the beginning of July it was $31,463,S00. ‘The average clearings of the for the week were $291,000,000, while those for Saturday, reflecting Friday's busi- | ness, were §203,801,743. Comparisons of changes in the item of loans by the larger banks show that eight institutions increased this ftem by $500,000 net, the reductions being more than offset by gains. The epecie shipments by five banks show a net increase of $800,000, Bank conditions seem likely to improve in the mear future as the result of regular movement of currency, which appears to have begun at least from distant Western and Northern points. The money market, how- ever, may be expected to show some derange- ment this week because of syndicate payments, to be followed at the end of the week by pre- parations for the December settlement. Exports afl Imports. NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—The total imports of dry goods and merchandise at the port of New York for this week were valued at $13,816,671. Total exports of specle from the port of New York to all countries for this week were §743,- 855 silver and $248,950 gold. Total imports of specie at the York for this week were $i4, $405,378 gold. fi-——-———-——_ * ]New York Grain and Produce. —_— NEW YORK, Nov, 22.—FLOUR-Receipts, 23,774; exports, 20,035.

WHEAT—Yesterday was a lively day in the local market. December sold up to $1 40% and May up to $1 40%, with the market more or less excited. Out in the country sales were reported at §1 473% for No. 1 and $1 50 for choice milling. The cause of the advance Is ascribed exclusively to the demand for ship- ment to Australia, which must have Wheat, and this market, high as it is, is the cheapest source of supply, Broomhall cables from Liv- erpool that Australia will have to import 240,- 000 tons. The goods are coming high for Aus- tralia, even with ocean freights down to the ridiculously low rate of 10s 3d, but there is no | alternative—the country must have the Wheat. Of course, the current prices are away above the parity of Europe. The large exporters are getting badly squeczed by the advance, but they cannot help themselves, and are buying all they cun get hold of. The millers are also | heavy purchasers,.so the holders of Wheat in California are having a picnic. CASH WHEAT. No, 1, §1 40@1 45; Milling, $1 4714@1 50 per tl, FUTURES. Session 9 to 11:30 a. m.

ANNOUNCEMENT | We are advised by the Alaska Central Railway Company that arrangements are completed for the floating of their bonds and that construction will begin in April. Surveys have been com- pleted and work is now being pushed on terminals. Concern- ing this enterprise the San Fran- cisco Chronicle of November says editorially: “Its effect on the development of the territory cannot be overrated. It will pass through a heavily mineralized coun- try and open up vast flelds of coal. The section through which it will run pos- | sesses, moreover, great agricultural pos- | sibilities, which will induce its settlement and the raising of farm products of great | value. Enough is already known of the territory soil and climate to warrant the belief that they are capable of maturing | all the food products essential to the sup- | port of a large population. As a stock raising country Alaska will doubtless be- come, in time, one of the most notable | sections on the continent. Its future de- | velopment as a field of industry depends largely on the interior valleys being made | accessible from the seaboard, and this is | the mission the railroads are destined to fulfill.” The Alaska Central will be built from Resurrection Bay, on | the southeast shore of Kenai peninsula, to Rampart, on the| Yukon River. The maximém grade at no! place reaches 1 per cent. The highest elevation to be overcome is only 2100 feet, The chief en-' gineer says construction involves ' no problem more seriofts thani railroad building in California or| Washington. We, as general selling agents of the Alaska -Central Railway Company, are ordered to close: up any deals that may be pend-| ing and discontinue the sale of} the company’s preferred shares within afew days. This s to give' notice to intending buyers and others that the final offering of the company’s preferred shares (par $50.00) is now made. The price 'is $10.00 per share. which may be paid in cash or in 4 equal Orders must be in our hands on or be- fore December 1, as on that date shares will be withdrawn from e We will promptly supply, on, request, printed matter and pho- tographs.
