The most Important radiating | center was United States Steel pre-| ferred, which rose aggressively above 60 on an urgent demand, in which an | uncovered short interest was belleved to play an important part. This stock; was influenced by reports that the dis- | put in the trade over the price of steel | billets had been settled and the danger | of a disruption of that and other pools | thus avoided. It was rumored that lhlsi had been effected by the purchase of | the Youngstown plant of the Republic | Iron and Steel Company, but there was ‘ no verification of this rumor. Pennsylvania and its subsidiary | stocks and the soft coal group felt the | sympathetic benefit of the movement in United States Steel preferred, espe- | cially owing to the large part played in their traffic by iron and steel and _‘the materials for their production. In| | the early morning there was some evi- | édence of realizing in the Pacifics, and this caused some hesitation in the gen- eral list. The occasional pressure of profit taking in Metropolitan Securities had the same effect. When Southern Pacific broke through its restraint and | rose above 56 the whole” market took on a more assuring tone. Union Pacific did not move in com- | pany with its subsidiary stock, and the Western stocks generally were inclined to hang back, except Atchison, which | came forward vigorously to Sl. FALLS BELOW ESTIMATE. The bank statement was of small in- | | fluence, although the cash gain failed | to come up to the estimates on account, it is believed, of the remittances to Cuba, which complicated the showing. | The surplus reserve now stands at guch a high level that the degree of influence is of little moment. A little realizing in the final dealings under cover of an alvance in Sugar made the closing slightly irregular. | Total sales of bonds, par value, $1,- | 065,000, The stock speculation of the week has been more active and has shown great- er activity, and the broadening ten- dency of the speculation has increased as the week progressed. Crop prospects have held the chief attention of opera- tors, and the conflict of views on that | | subject and the divergent outlook for different crops have been reflected in the confused tendencies in the mover| Early in the week, when the impend- | | ing Government crop report induced a waiting attitude toward the granger stocks, there was a furious speculation diverted into a group of industrials and such realties, notably the Metro- | politan traction stocks, which made sensational advances and led the mar- | ket in point of activity for several! da Many rumors flooded the street | as to the project in contemplation for the control of the companies involved, but no official or authoritative an- nouncements were given out to war- | | rant entire credence in any of them. | The belief is very generally held, how- | ever, that plans are working out for unifying the control and combining the operation of the surface, elevated and subway traction facllities of the city of New York. Some credence is given to the further rumors of the in- | | } ment of prices. slusion of the Brooklyn Transit and | | New Jersey trolley companies in the | plans, thus involving a comprehensive | control of all the traction facilities in | the city and in the suburban neighbor- I | | | hood. EXCITED SPECULATION.

The weekly bulletin of the Weather Dureau on Tuesday, covering conditions of the preceding week, did not prove soothing the fears for that crop. But the monthly report of the Agricultural De- partment worked a decided change in sentiment in the stock market, and even the renewed jump in the wheat market did not ent remove the z surance caused by that report. Al- though the condition there reported dated back to August 1, before much of the alleged harm had been done to wheat, it was felt that the August 1 condition, with its indication of nearly 606,000,600 bushels, impeached the cred- ulity of the extreme estimates of the later damage done. The action of the self was attributed in large part to excess of speculation and to- technical conditions in the imme- | diate supply available in the market. The most favorable auguries were drawn from the Government report on the corn and cotton crops. Present conditions in these crops are felt to warrant an assumption of a bumper | yield for both, and this assumption is likely to' form crops so long as no deleterfous effect upon them is reported in the news. Be- sides the encouragement of abundant crops of these two great staple prod- ucts very hopeful views are held of the chances for a profitable market for them in the coming season. The firm- ! ness with which the prices are held, in face of the brilliant prospects for these crops, is attributed to this promise. The low price of cotton the world over, due to the discouragement of buyers by the recent high prices, is held as an inducement to replenish stocks. DEMAND FOR CORN. In the case of corn the threatened shortage of wheat in Europe and the exportable surplus here indi- largely increased demand for corn for foreign account, with corre- | sponding benefits in the sale of our large crop. Business sentiment has improved correspondingly. The influence in the iron and steel trade has been less reassuring and the heaviness of the stocks of campanies in that trade has been something of a drag on the market. Fears of a dis- ruption of the pools for maintaining prices of finished products have been the unfavorable factor. Labor condi- tions continue unsettled and are the cause of an undercurrent of uneasi- ness in the stock market. Conditions in the exchange market have hovered near the gold export point and engagements for shipment to London have been several times made and then canceled. The factor has been the needs of the London money market and the redundancy of | our own money market. With gold flowing into San Francisco, both from Japan and Australia, and with an early prospect of a supply of cotton bills in the exchange market, the gold export question has aroused little in- terest in the stock market and has not affected the extreme ease of the local | money market at all. Rail®oad earnings as reported show an average improvement and the Har- riman lines have been the subject of special activity and strength, appar- ently based on the good June net earnings. The demand for bonds has some- what revived and prices have genera]- 1y advanced. United States old fours have ad- the estimate of these | vanced % and the new fours % per cent on call during the week. S S | GAIN IN SH RESERVE. | | i, | Report of Associated Banks Shows a | Large Increase. NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—The Finan- | cier this week says: | The official statement of the 1 York Associated Banks last showed a gain in the cash reserve | | estimated from the traceable move- ments of money during the week, the net increase in cash as reported in the statement being $2,152,400, while the | mates called for a gain of $3,18 | 500. There was an increase of $3,68 1700 in specie. Inasmuch as the aver- |ages of the exports of gold coin to | Cuba in the week, which were one {and a quarter millions, were offset by | more than two and three-quarter mil- !licns receipts from Australia ahd | other sources, it would appear that the difference between the net result- ing from these movements and the amount of increase in specie reported in the statement was due to the bring- ing over of average gains in this item frcm the previous week. Deposits were increased $2,919,100, with the resulting gain in surplus re- |serve to $57,731,475, the highest in s ears. The loans were expanded $1,014,500, probably reflecting com- mission house and syndicate borrow- ing. The daily average of clearings last less than in the previous week; the clearings on Saturday, reflecting Fri- day's business, $198,629,679, or much above the average. £ With such an enormous surplus re- serve as that shown by the statement on the eve of the season’s usual re- quirements for money for the crop movement and with the prospect of an increase in this surplus in the imme- diate future as the result of receipts of gold from Australia, Japan, the Klon- dike and from domestic flelds, in ex- | cess of the withdrawals of gold for do- | mestic flelds in excess of withdrawals or gold for export to Cuba and pos- sibly to Europe, it would seem that there is little prospect for relief from money congestion at this center’ for the present at least. —_———— PORTLAND ENTERTAINS PROMINENT ALIFORNIANS | PORTLAND, Aug. 12.—A commit- tee representing the State of Califor- ! nia, including Governor Pardee, C.
