Poor Bank Statement HasDirectly Opposite Effect

TJ P SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE

Indictment Does Not Weaken theStock as 3Incli ns Expected General Business Conditions ContinueExcellent Complain that Consigmees Do Not Unload Curs

New York Dec 8 The course of pricesIn the stock market during the weekmade the action of the market today Inview of developments regarding the finan-cial situation not at all surprising Thepublication of a weekly bank statementthat was the poorest sinco the panic of1892 showing that although bank loanshad been reduced during the week nearly4000000 the banks had been drained of

over 12000000 cash and their surplusstood at a deficit of 6000600 inof producing a break resulted in a

rally In market valuationsBefore the bank statement appeared to

day the market had been heavy althoughdullness rather than weakness was itsdominant feature and the advance Inprices that occurred was still such as toleave quotations for the principal stocksslightly lower than they closed on the daypreceding

The acting of the market howeverwas such as to leave its extraordinarystrength under the circumstances theone matter of note For this perhaps avariety of reasons occurred The factthat no liquidation followed the publication of the bank statement induced theretirement of speculative commitmentsfor tho decline

Sterling exchange has fallen to a levelthat points to a renewal of gold imports-If high financial Interests here think it Isdesirable that these shall take place andbeyond all this the impression was strongIn the financial district to the degree ofpositive and general belief that within avery short time the Secretary of theTreasury will take action to relieve themoney situation in an effective way

Manipulation is ShownA lull review of the theories of the

stock market under such conditions aswere disclosed must also regrettably In-

clude this that the condition of thebanks was not as It appeared today onIts face and that the low figures of thebank surplus as quoted represented man-

ipulation for an ulterior purposeMovements of individual stocks were

especially noteworthy A sharp advanceoccurred in the Republic Iron and Steelcommon and preferred stocks based uponrumors of an impending closer affilia-

tion of the company with the TennesseeCoal and Iron Company Union Pacificcommon stock was unfavorably affectedalthdugh to a comparatively small extentby the indictments found against thecompany in the Federal courts in UtahIn connection with the companys ownership of coal properties but the stocknevertheless displayed as great resilience-as any other when the market recoveredin the latter part of the day

On the curb market Xlptesing minesstock broke to a new low record on itspresent declining movement

The inactivity of the stock market inview of many conflicting influences hasbeen its chief feature during the wookGeneral business conditions of coursecontinue very prosperous Railway earnings are perhaps making a little less favorable showing than recently partly because they are comparing with huge earnings last year and partly because theIncreased wages of railway employesthe higher cost of railway supplies andso forth are making railway operatingexpenses larger than they have ever beenbefore

It Is also true that our railway com-panies on account of the stringency ofthe money market are devoting a largeportion of their earnings outright to im-

provements upon their properties andcharging the same to operating expensesinstead of raising money therefor bybond and stock issue as they ordinarilywould

Accused of ImprovidenceAnother matter too of which much

has been heard of late has been the im-

pairment to business caused by the shortage of freight cars the country overThe railway companies have been chargedwith improvidence in not ordering in dullseasons cars for their needs when busi-ness once became active but they

that they did in fact make thisprovision and that the real reason ofthe scarcity of cars is that consignees-In all parts of the land have not pro-

vided themselves with proper facilitiesfor the storage of merchandise whichthe railroads delivered to them so thatthe railroad companies are compelled topractically turn their terminals and theircars into warehouse plants

The demurrage charged for cars keptIn this manner has long been only

and although lately increased seemsvery low to ordinary observers consider-ing the present exigencies and just whythe railway managers of the country donot roundly increase these demurragecharges and force the people to whomgoods are sent to take them out of thecars with reasonable rapidity does notseem

Queer Antics of tIle MarketBring Out Comment

THINK SHAW SHOULD GIVE AID

Traders Believe Railroad Need Cads

for Improvement More Than OtherEnterprises ns Larger Territory IsAffected anti Prosperity Depends-on the Transportation Facilities

Now York Doc 8 I think said atrader I shell leave offtrjin r to do busi-

ness In this market and turn alchemist-I may not succeed In turning base metalsInto gold but my time in it could hardlybe loss profitably employed than inoperating In a markot which disregardsevery condition that makes for movements-In the past or If not disregarding themtaking them by contraries New YorkCentral gets an increased dividend andpromptly goes down Union Pacific Is In

dicted and Its price goes up Call moneysoars and we get an allround rally ItIs too much like trying to win when youropponent has loaded the dice and 1 forone have grown tired of the game

If the Secretary of the Treasury hrtsno discrimination between speculationand commercial requirement In affordingrelief to the money market where shallthe line be drawn It is a wellknown factthat railroads are compelled to hnlt ex-

tensions and Improvement projects be-

cause the Wall street money marketmakes raising of new capital practi-cally impossible The same is true of In-

dustrial corporations Is thero any Important difference for Instance between

as a matter of fact much more benefiton all the people scattered through theroads territory than it CHI po efbly con-

fer on the railroad Itself If the greatestgood is to be done for the grdatest num-ber are there not grounds to believe thatrellevini Wall street is the beet way ofaccomplishing it

As Wall street Is the very heart theAmerican financial system it will have tobe considered that what tends to breakthe heart will hkve the dame effectthroughout the entire system

Rates weakened decidedly in theearly part of the week but rose to 11 percent near the end But the advancehad no effect on the price of the

sentiment being buoyed up by theassurance that the beaks in the pool wereready to act if the necessity should ariseThe object of the pool was to Impose acheck upon operators at a meeting toforce up money rates by placing M0Mf-

iM where the lending of it coald be direct-ed by one mind so as to secure the great-est amount of efficiency

No new money was brought into Wallstreet and there sever was strongerverittcatkm of the truth of the proverbabout strength in union than was shownby the effect of announcement of adetermination on the part of leadingbanks to act in unison forcing other lend-ers to accept a reasonable rate WhathIts revived interest in the money pool of182 is the report that there Is ament on foot to form a pool of bankersrepresentatives of all parts of the countryte handle part of the Treasurys surplusImpartially in the interest of the commer-cial and financial community

Secretary Shaw it is Skid might placein the hands of pool of that kindsuch part of the TS000oeo now locked ujjin the Treasury as could be spared antiit would be the duty of the head ofthe pool to lend for all legitimate pur-poses when or wherever the rates formoney was so high as threaten seriousdisturbance The banks would not becalled upon to differentiate between theirown money and the Treasurys moneyfor the latter would not be directly intheir hands but in the hands of thepool to be used as much against them-selves individually should they endeavor-to exact unreasonable rates for their ownfunds as against any other lenders Lead-Ing bankers say however that they leavenot heard of any movement to formsuch a pool although in some influentialquarters it is said that a scheme of thekind may have been brought forward-as a suggestion

Demand sterling declined to 4S234which started discussion of the possibil-ity of gold imports but the consensuswas that If any serious attempt was madeto draw gold from London the Bank ofEngland would at once put up Its ratefor money and place such a burden onAmerican stocks carried over there whichwould make a heavy selling movementSo serious did the possible consequencesseem tothe foreign houses they refused-to believe that Secretary Shaw wouldnot do everything In his power to pre-vent their occurrence before it was toolate

The general verdict on tho bank state-ment was that it was bad enough to con-

vince Washington that the time hadcome to secure the aid of the Treasury-to withdraw money from the channels

While some of the younger element onthe stock exchange laughed over thebank statemontscolng that prices hadgone up they should go higher on theprospect of a 150 per cent call rate In thecoming week the more sober mindedwere inclined to view tho situation In another light and to argue that unless therewas speedy relief lower prices must Inevitably result

Traders who argue that there Is littledifference between the money conditionsof today and those of a year ago seemto forget that time money rates arematerially higher npw than they werethen At this time a year ago sixtydaymoney cost 6 per cent and a commissionmaking the equivalent of 7 per centwhile for ninety days to six months therate was only 6 per cent Now three andfour months money costs 8 pen cent andupward the rate of Interest being

from 1 13 to 1 times higher than Itwas then This is a serious difference

Both In activity and strength RepublicIron and Steel came nearer to being thefeature of the market than on any otherday since It was admitted to trading onthe stock years ago Thestock made a new high record at 41

against a previous high record of 406and closed practically at the top Prog-ress with the scheme to combine theSouthern iron concerns was given as theprincipal reason for the rise although itwas also pointed out that after paymentof the December dividends on the pre-ferred only 4 per cent of arrears on thisIssue will be left unpaid commence-ment of disbursement on toe common isbrought within measurable distance

Perhaps another reason Is that the In-terests which have mode this stock espe-cially strong felt confident during the daythat Secretary Shaw would to therelief of the money situation in the near
