The tendency to cut down these foreign credits now is viewed with satisfaction in financial circles. But the professional sentiment on the Stock Exchange confined itself to the bare show- ing of the statement with its consequent inroads upon the reserve. . FURTHER GOLD EXPORTS. To-day's London discount market show- ed a hardening tendency, resulting from the paying off of the market's heavy ob- ligation to the Bank of England, and the bank lost more than a milllcn dollars in gold withdrawn for export to SBouth Amer. fca.

Money continues seasonably easy and there is no apparent bar to the use of credits in speculation, but speculation still halts It is evident, however, that the nominal ease of money must be considered in con- nection with the tone of interviews be- twebn would-be borrower and lender in The directors of banks and the large financial powers which are the controlling factor in the banks as well the great railroad systems of the country, seek to discourage all undue ex- du the market level. 1.e of long stock k do But the professional t the bulk of the busin | pansion’ of credits for taking on holdings of stock for speculative purposes, and they are themselves conspicuously @ut of the market. GREAT MOVEMENTS LACKING. Great organized movements in the stock market, backed by the concentrated-hold- ings of capital and based on Intimate knowledge of the working out of the deals and combinations, are entirely lack- ing at present. The great bull markets of the last few vears were largely the result of such organized movements. Those who conducted them are convinced of the wis- dom at present of refraining from them. A large dealer in securitles describes the situation by saying that when he seeks to market g block of securities he finds it necessary to mark large price concessions in order to find a buyer: but in many cases he finds himself unable to execute a buying order without bidding up the price considerably beyond the present range. Effective demand for stocks awalts a clearly lower level of prices, | while strong hol@ers of securfties are un- willing to part with them at going prices. | Besldes the disinclination of the ‘bank: to encourage speculative activity, it is a noticeable feature of the money market that . abundant ‘funds are offered cagetness shown by loans carrying over the end of the year, for which very small amounts are offer- ! in the name of ing. Claims are made Western bankers that the present -large loans of Western banks are in part. in Eastern money markets and are to ma- ture in the fall perfods, when the largest demands for funds to move the crops are expected. It is argued . that this will leave them in good position to supply needs for moving crops without calling on thetr. Eastern correspondents’ banks for funds. But the experfence of last fall proved that the withdrawing of Eastern ioans placed directly hy Western banks threw demands for renewals upon the Eastern banks, which were fully equiva- lent to the usual withdrawals of deposits of the Wall street banks.

The course of foreign money markets, | following the flotation of the $150,000,000 Transvaal loan, is not yet clearly defined, | It is evident that the week's enormous loan expansion of the Bank of England largely relled upon by the subscribers to the lean. With the allotments of the lozn and the return to subscribers of over-subscriptions the money market in Lerdon is relaxing as expected, but very large payments to the Bank of England to be paild and continental ex- charges are turning against London, so ) ADVERTISEMENTS.

Whether a large outward movement of gold from New York is to follow this week's outgo is a question awalted with interest. The reduction in the country’s favorable trade balances for April, in spite of last yeur's extraordinary shortage of corn ex- ports, with which it compares, goes to explain the current shortage of exchange and its insufficiency to meet requirements as expected for maturing debts to for- | cigniers. The light export demand for cotton, owing to the high price resuiting from the furious cotton speculation, adds to the perplexity of the exchange situa- tion The belated completion of the Rock Island absorption of the St. Louis and San Francisco, with its accompanying is- sue of new Rock Island stock and col- jateral bonds, calls attention to the fact that various suspended financial projects overhang the situation, which may be an- nounced upon any relaxation in the money market. The offer on behalf of the Chi- cago, Burlington and Quincy to extend for two years the maturity of a $20,000,000 bond issue, s regarded as significant for the inopportuneness for large * financial trensactions. LABOR PROBLEM A FACTOR. Decided influence upon speculative opin- jon has beeén caused by the labor question and has been a subject of much discus- slon. The weakness of the iron market has been a depressing factor, in epite of all expressions of confidence by authori- ties in the trade of a continuance of pros- perous conditions. The unprecedented rate of production, without preventing a decline in the stocks on band and the large requirements uncovered by reason of contracts for delivery of finished pro- ducts, fail to’reassure sentiment entirely in face of the declining course of the pig- . market. "g‘e:.! of the wheat crop is considered satisfactory, but the delay in the plant- ing of the corn crop adds to the causes of dissatisfaction in the prevailing mood of depression in the stock market. Re- ports of falling off in traffic in ‘Western railroads, of accumlation of car supplies and ‘the going into effect of the reduced rates on grain between Chicago and New York are cited as additional grounds for doubt over the future of values. in bond prices and only a moderate volume of business, but the increased va- riety in the dealings has Indicated a search for investments.

CONFERRING AEBOUT ; THE COMING STRIKE Southern Pacific Superintendents and General Manager Xruttschnitt Discuss Threatened Trouble. All the division superintendents of the Western division of the Southern Pacific Company «re in the city, hav- ing been summoned here by Gen- eral Manager Kruttschnitt to con- fer with him regarding the threat- ened strike of the boiler-makers, which is scheduled to take place a week from Tuesday next. The superintendents held their first meeting yesterday afternoon in Manager Kruttschnitt's office. In dis- cussing the meeting last evening one of the railroad officials sald it was certain that the company would fight the matter to the end. “The boiler-makers,” said he, “are not acting fairly by the company. In the first place they admit that they have no grievance whatsoever against the Southern Pacific Company. but intend to strike simply out of sympathy for the men on the Union Pacific. The company has always treated them fairly in the matter of wages and hours, and is at a loss to understand how they can con- sistently endeavor to cause trouble on the system. In going out on a strike the men will violate their agreement as re- gards giving the company thirty days’ notice, and from present indications I imagine it will prove serious to the welfare of the employes.” About 450 men are expected to go out. | strike | to fear in that direction.
