NEW YORK , Sept. ' 13. Henry Clews ,
hcud of the banking house of Henry Clews
& Co. , writes of the situation In Wall
street :
The various Interests centerlnc nt Wnll
Btrect continue to show the symptoms of
n recovery of conlldenco which luive be-
conio Btendlly moic niiparont for two or
three weeks pnst. On the one hnnd , the
conviction hns cnlnod Kroutul that an tin-
iicccnsnry Intensity or aliirm hns been cii-
cnurnRcif by tnkliiK ttio Krnvcst possibili
ties or the situation nt their worst iintl
maklnc Insuillclcnt nllowance for thu coun
teractions nnd preventions' wlildi a RVIU ! I
tuilillc ilniiKcr tilwayM beRetit : and , on the
other , the shaping nnd drift of po Itlcal
forces nru construed ns so directly In
favor of the ascendancy of a sound money
policy that the election Is looked to us
ending the dangers of the silver mania and
Introducing n now era of coiilldi'nco niul
of national prosperity. Concurrently with
these tissinlntT tendencies , has come nn In
flux of iio'.d from Knropovhlcli hnK ctntlileu
thn banks to voluntarily Increase the gold
In the treasury and. nt the same time , has
warded off n threatened strliiKcncy In
money from which serious results were , two
or three weeks ago , npmchendcd. The
amount of gold nlrcady Imported and on
thu way Is about J27OOJOOOi and , although
largo nnd sudden movements of this kind
arc always attended with temporary checks
nnd reactions , . those bent situated to ludgc
anticipate that this gold Imports will reach
tlO.OUO.OOO to $ l3UCKiWJO before they cease.
As this amounts to an Important aug
mentation of the reserves of thi > banks ,
the apprehensions of Htrln.eney arc vli-
tunlly removed , and thu lo.in m.irket Is
working steadily toward a condition of
case.
The banks continently are showing
more disposition to lend , find the distress
caused In commercial circles through thu
illltlculty In procuring discounts Is steadily
abating. One gratifying fcatuiu in thu dis
trust among the banks about the commer
cial situation. Trto fact that merchant ?
Inivo so well withstood the strain upon
credit for so long a period Is regarded
ns evidence of tin- general soundness of the
mercantile situation , and where any curtail
ment of discounts Is apparent , it Is rnoro
duo to the banks not having yet bucn able
to restore their reduced reserves than to
any mlselvlngs about the safety ot bor
rowers. As the pold Imports Increase ,
this * cause of restriction of credit must ,
however , disappear.
PUIGHT IS PASSING AWAY.
These are all solid Improvements In the
situation. They Imply a real change In the
public estimate of the chances of an ex
tinction of the silver danger. They show
that judgment and caltn discretion have
Kalneil the ascendancy over an undlscrlml-
natlng public fright. They nre evidences
that a point has been reached at which
reoplo understand that while free coinage ,
If It were enacted , would be a catastrophe.
beyond all estimate , yet the thing Is an
Impossibility to the practical common seme ,
the honor and the native conservatism of
n majority of the American people. Thus
financial opinion and the opinion ot busi
ness Interests at large stand upon a dis
tinctly higher nnd more trustworthy basis
than a few weeks ago , nnd that change
has been taken with a deliberation and a
strictness of caution which will ivo It
against any relapse. It is under these
circumstances that the market for securi
ties has shown such a marked recovery In
values nnd that Kurope also exhibits u
material recovery of confidence In our In
vestments.
There 19. however , a limit to the extent
to which this Improvement may be safely
trusted to go within the next few weeks.
There Is naturally a disposition to defer
largo buying operations until the outcome
of the elections Is llnally ascertained , and
until the money market has settled Into
the easier condition that attends the re
flux of currency sent to tlto Interior during
the fall months. Alloxvancc must also bo
made for the tips and , downs of political
movements , for the sensational effects of
the Hrynn agitation , rtnd for the effect of
iitnte elections and of state ratifications
of the Chicago platform and nominations.
Also , we may expect some European coun-
tcracllons to our current large Importa
tions of gold. Notwithstanding the extra
ordinary largeness of the past steady ac
cumulations of gold on the other side of
the Atlantic , the banks there arc nnwlil-
Ing to part with any considerable amount
of the metal. Although the Hank of Kng-
land hns today about $ . " > .OCO,000 more gold
than nt the Bamo date of ISM , nnd $15,000.-
000 more than In 1S9I , yet on Thursday It
advanced Its rate of discount to 21/ . per
cent. This Is no doubt partly duo to Lon
don being drawn upon to compensate for
our withdrawals from other centers , nnd
partly also to the demands from Austria
anil Ilussla for the purpose of advancing
their currency reforms ; but It nevertheless
"has a tendency for the moment to check
shipments to the United States.
HAS A SOUND BASIS.
The. demand from our side has the ad
vantage that It rests purely upon a bona
fldo condition of the commercial exchanges
and therefore must bo satisfied ; while the
wants of Austria nnd Ilussla are. extraneous
to the trade movement and therefore may
encounter the ohsladu of higher rates than
the Vienna and St. Petersburg banks are
willing to pay. It therefore may result
that those purchasers will have to moder
ate 'their transactions until a turn In our
cxchnngcs sends back sotne of the gold we
are now Importing. So far , we see no
abatement of the large export movement
In our chief staples nor of the curtailment
In Imports of merchandise , and the prospect
still remains good that the current Imports !
of gold will bo continued until they reach
WO.OOO.COO to $1.1.000.000.
Present conditions and the proppects from
now until the November election may , In
vow ! of the foregoing factors be reason
ably construed as warranting judicious
! selections of bonds and of stable stocks for
Investment. So far as respects transient I
purchases for a profit on lluctuatlons In
prlc"p. buying would appear to have the
advantage over welling ; but margins should
bo ample and good prollts should bo ac
cepted. After election , If wo may not
hapo for so comnluto a reconstruction
of financial conditions ns may seem dc-
Hlrnblo ( for much must depend on th
composition of the house and more on thu
attitude of a refractory senate ) yet .
great revival of confidence may bo reason
ably looked for ; so that Investments madn
between now and thu day of election will
bo almost euro to yield a high rate of re-
numeration.
P. S. At the close of this writing , It Is
understood that foreign bankers nro adVised -
Vised by their London correspondents that
about 6,000,000 more gold Is expected to be
shipped to the United States before thu
movement culminates ; and Intimations are
given out that arrangements nm.v possibly
bo consummated for shipping 4(00,000 forth
with.

I-.ONT3ON , Sept. 13. The chief result of
thu advance In the bank rate has been to
put do.wn prices of overrlnilatcd Invest
ment nccurltles. A further pcaro wa
caused yesterday by rumors of a cabinet
council and thu probability of heavy gold
shipments to New York. Heavy sales
of consols occurred nnd there was Ji gen
eral drop all round. The maikets are
likely to bo very Honullilu for Home time
to come. The action of the bank has been
sharply criticized by many bankers and
bill brokers who have been adversely af
fected by the unexpected rlsu In thu bank

tities of Inflated stocks us securities against

N1CW YOHK. Sept. 13.-Speclal.-Tho ( )
stock market has shown strength throuph-
out the week to the closing today. Hut
transactions have not been on a big scale ,
and advances for the week are unimport
ant. Since the rise In values began we
have seen an appreciation averaging over
n dozen points with some consplcloua fig
ures up 20 or more. The Arkansas election
result has played practically no part what
ever In shaping market values. Nobody
Attempts to believe that tlio election 1 g-
nicsotc trustworthy or In any wlso sig
nificant , while overwhelmingly overshadowIng -
Ing tic ! Alknnsas result has been thu antici
pation of. victory for national Integrity
iluc now from Maine.
Oil all sides Maine's election Is counted
on as nn affair of the utmost consequence ,
not only as a political Influence , but ns a
factor of the first Importance In the finan
cial world. Maine declaring what -Maine
Is expected to declare and In the certain
fashion that Is anticipated can set the pace
for a quick return of eoulldeuce In every part
of the Investment world. Wall street npprc-
ol.illon of this fact Is amply attested In a
wide variety of ways , Here , for example ,
Is a quotation from a letter written to me
by thu managing partner of one. of the most
linf'orlimt ' banklnp houses of this country.
"If the Malms election , " says this au
thority , "makes It plain that our people nre
dcclMvo for honest finance , wo need have
no concern for the future of the Investment
market * . The averagu well-managed rail
way property In this country today has Its
securities selling on a plane below Intrinsic
values , and largely because ot the harum-
scarum talk about danger that American
obligations are liable to revision , and even
to repudiation. If Maine speaks as Ver
mont spoke the financial atmosphere will be
cleared In a way that will mean a new life
for every commercial and financial Interest
In the land. Now this Is not political par
tisanship. It Is a reflection absolutely of
facts Hint we meet In our business. Wo
have this week received cables from London
and from the very highest sources there
assuring us that all European Investors
want Is a trusty signal from here that
they can put their funds over heru again
with safety. For nearly half n dozen years
-ever slncu the llarlng collapse Europu
has been unloading Its American securities.
We have had to stand and take back car
goes of stocks anil bonds that were In-
tilnslcally all right , but which the for
eigners preferred to sell out at a sacrlllce
rather than risk any of the new trusts
that bugaboo legislation and political buc
caneers were reaching. Now the tide Is
ready to turn. Maine's voice will be
heard In every Investment corner In Eu
rope. "
KUO1J CONSHIIVATIVE QUARTERS.
Assurances of this tenor nro abundant.
They come , too , from conservative quar
ters.
It Is noteworthy , however , that the rank
and file of the professional Stock exchange
speculators do not join In this optimism.
They rather look upon the Maine election
its a culmination ot ovi-nts that have been
founding good nerve for the financial world.
A Maine victory , they contend , being al
ways cynical , has already been discounted
by the handsome rise that has como to the
whole short Interest. It Is not Improbable
that they have the germ of good House on
their side , too. The short Interest that
made tlie market unwleldly a few weeks
ngo has disappeared. The outside public
has not largely figured In the advances that
have lifted quotations , lluylng of securi
ties since the Vermont election hns been
about as purely professional as was the
short selling that preceded. The gold Im
portation movement has been thu chief
stimulus for bullish sentiment. Those Im
ports have reached big figures , and they
are going to mount much higher. Crops
that were anticipated when the Imports
were started are now at hand , nnd legiti
mate conditions will take care of 'he gold
situation In succession to those that were
artificial and forced at the start.
It is likely to develop In thu stock market
soon that the facts quoted In AVall street
dispatches last Sunday , referring to the
plunging ways ot certain ' millionaire poli
ticians , are to have n 'consequential sequel.
There havu been news Items In a number
of New York papers this week squinting
at the facts , and It Is now rather freely
admitted that there have been some tre
mendous smashes on the Inside of combina
tions that have been used to play with
millions of money for margins. The Inci
dent Is attracting attention enough to
servo ns a text for letters from Stock ex
change firms to customers. One such ft
Circular letter takes up the matter In a
dispatch tonight In this way :
"Certain prominent political personages ,
not of the republican persuasion , concluded
about the time of the St , Louis republican
convention that the stock market would be
strong after McKlnley's nomination , then
already conceded , and that In view of the
mixed conditions anticipated for the Chicago
cage convention a rare opportunity offered
to make a profitable stock campaign on the
short side. It Is understood stocks were
liberally sold , In accordance with this
view.
ON THE SHOUT SIDE.
"Some of these gentlemen , It Is under
stood , were active participants at Chicago ,
while others awaited thu result of the con
vention with anxious expectancy.
"On the return of the New York delega
tion gloom would be a mild term to describe
the political sensations of certain leaders ,
but as political depression deepened smiles
covered the faces of those who were on
the right side of thu stock market , which ,
for the time , wns the nhort side. The ex
treme action of the Chicago convention was
entirely In favor of the speculation.
"All went merrily , and the tape dally
showed Increasing profits , on paper at loaat.
During the first week of August the street
wns laboring under a feeling of sup
pressed fear as to the financial situation ,
"Notwithstanding the determination of
banks and leading bankers to stand by the
treasury , both by depositing gold In ex
change for greenbacks and by furnishing
j foreign exchange at rates preventing profit
able exports of gold pending the November
election , the stock market was kept In a
condition bordering on panic.
"About this time a well known sporting
characler nnd political wire puller came
heru from the west , struck this camp ot
pessimists , greatly stimulated their specula
tive courage by his assurance that Hryan
had a 'perfect walkover. '
"Thu principal parties may not have In
creased their short Interest , but It Is under
stood that they sold a few stocks for this
messenger of good tidings. When things
appeared nt thu worst , close observers sns-
pected that powerful Interests were se
cretly absorbing stocks , but these political
and Hpeculatlvo allies rested In seeming
security , feeling that thu market could not
materially advance ,
"Tho market began to go up and some of
these people , perhaps sneaking on their as
sociates , covered a portion of their shorts ,
but could not bring themselves to changn
their jKislUon of buying for the long ac
count. Meantime thu market goes higher.
They are now bemoaning their 111 luck ,
while some nro Inclined to Indulge In very
florid language as they consider what might
have been. The sporting messenger of good
tidings from the west has U-ft town , pos
sibly to take a fresh vlow of the situation
and correct some of Ills figures. His friends
are not now quite so , confident of liryan's
election. "
It Is not easy to diagnose a market where
such combinations nru plunging , but the
Incident shows amply the Inherent strength
of the present stock market when poundIng -
Ing- legitimate anil lilegltlmnto of such
character and from such sources proves
not only Ineffective , hut comes near to
breaking the millionaires who attempt It.
Monday's market ought tn bu higher , but
If a reaction does not follow good news
from Maine all precedent will bo sot aside.
Still some men Inside , wide-awake , will be
able to find bargains every time thu market
gels n setback. Wo nre getting close to
good times. 11. ALLAWAY.

CHICAGO , Sept. 12.-A sensational ilrop In
consols , couplcil with the squally nspect of
Turkish affairs , nilvnnceil wheat over Ic
the first hour's trailing today. December
closcil ? jc higher , after the most active ses
slon. Corn wns nlso llrm and closed He
higher. Onta declined He nnd provisions
nilvnnceil slightly.
Yesterday's strength In wheat wns con-
tlntieil nt the opening1. December opened
practically unchnngeil from Friday's clo \
IIIR figures , at from r , ! jo to 69lfcd , nnd after
rising to ( WKc , nnd reacting to t9e' , n
bulge Was started , which carried It up to
COVic before 10:30 : o'clock. The pit showed
some of Its olil-tlmc spirit during the rise ,
und the amount of business , ns well ns thu
slzu of the transactions , were Inrgcr thnn
they have been for thu Inst two months.
The Liverpool cable showed V4d advance ,
but the rcnlly bullish news wns the sensa
tional decline reported In consols. Possi
bility or trouble between England and Ger
many over thu Zanzibar matter wtis also
reported , so when the decline In consols wns
iniulo known , them wns n rush to cover
shorts nnd to buy long account. The
clearances from the scnuonrd during the
week were some 400,000 bushels more thnn
the week before nnd heavy enles of flour
were reported from MlnnenpolUi. Argentine
tine- exported no wheat this week. Hut
later the crowd bi'gan to feel thnt perhaps
the pace hnd been too fast. Traders took
their profits freely from COc to ( Jfl'.Ac ' , nnd
In consequence , the price declined to S'.i c
near the close. Receipts at Minneapolis ami
Duluth were heavy , 1,103 carp , campared
with 1,121) ) cars on the corresponding day of
the year before. This caused the decline
shortly after the opening. The closing
price for December was M ? C.
Corn was more active nnd llrm , Influenced
largely by the strength In wheat. There
was free covering by shorts nnd some de
mand for the long account. Small Argen
tine shipments titul strong cables were nlso
factors In the strength , May opened un
changed nt 24Hc , advanced to 24ic and
closed nt 24-Ke.
Oats were not very active. A firm feelIng -
Ing- existed early , but prices yielded later
and closed n shade lower. Fluctuations
were ruled principally through sympathy
with corn. liny opened unchanged at Ifl' . c ,
nilvnnceil to ID'.ic and closed steady at lite.
Heavy hoi ; receipts were Instrumental In
opening provisions at prices a shade lower
thnn yesterday's close. Continued selling
by packers of October ribs served to keep
prices soft for a while , but the upward
niiirch of grain finally put strength In
provisions , and the close wns at it small
advance. January pork closed fie higher at
$ .Ci * . January lard unchanged at J.l.GO to

CATTLE Today's cattle receipts were
2.031 , as against 2077 yesterday and 1.111 on
lost Saturday. Nearly nil the cattle hero
were westerns , and the average quail ty
was poor.
The undesirable character of the offer
It'gs. combined with the fact that It was a
Saturday , made a dull market , and yet
there wns a good demand for beeves. The
packers claimed that their chill rooms
were ijmpt.v and. that they wanted good
killing cattle nnd wanted them badly , but
they hesitated about paying Chicago prices
for the very common kind of cattle here.
Really desirable beeves would , without
doubt , have sold quickly nt strong price * .
Ono load of common 1,231-lb. natives
brought $4.13 nnd a. load ot steers nnd
heifers reached W.ilO.
The offerings of butchers' stock were
very mender. The market did not show
any material chance , values being about
stonily with yesterday.
The feeder trade was Inclined to be a
llttlo slow , ns Is ant to bo the case on n
Saturday. The offerings v.-ere not overly
large nnd de. lrnlilc kinds did not phew
much change as regards values.
The cattle market of the past week hns
been In fairly goqd condition , so fur as
values have been , concerned. The charac
ter of thn cattle received , however , has
been far frorn'ratlSfnctory to the packers.
It has been impossible for local packers to
secure enough. , catllc on this market to
Keep their houses running , and they have
been forced to' ship in n good many bought
on other markets. Not onlv have beef
steers born In1 Ilf-Ht supply , but of those
received , very few Oinve been lit nil desira
ble. O.nly oim small shipment of coed
rniJloSyafl received , nnd It sold readily at
fl.ili. The frapp westerns almost wV'hout
exception have been very common , but the
demand has bocn such th.it they have sold
well up to Chleniro [ price * , niitchors' stock ,
such as cows urn ] heifers , has Hold well all
the week. The. demand for that kind of
cattle has be.cn geoM , nnd all arrivals have
met with ready sale , especially the better
pradPK. Fcedcrn sAld well oil- the week
MioiiKh the business wns not as heavy as
ilurlnq- the previous wcejc.
The trade opened with iRt | | IIOKS In active
demand on the part of bytji packers nnd Milmiers

United Slates Consul Gtnernl Thomas T. Crlt-
tcnilcn writes to the Stnte Oeparlment as fol
low * : "Owing to the injury to the oratiRe
trees In Florida from frost the supply of
orange : * In the United States has been greatly
diminished , caurlnff the merclinntB to look to
Mexico nn < I elsewhere for the ileflclency. About
4K1 ( rnrlomls were shipped from Mexico to the
United States loft tenton. Plncc injury to ami
dcHtructlon of the trees in Florida the growers
In Mexico nre paying greater nttentloii to tbe
IiroiUictton. Old ttces and old orchids liave
been pruned , cultivated nml reelnlmcil und new
orchids planted with more cme.
"Uiion clOFe Investigation mndo by the nKcnts
of the viiriouB railway compnnles tbc crop tills
Fcnson Is estimated to be much larger than
ever before. The railroads nre gradually pro-
parliiR for the shipment of nt least COO cars
for tills reason. It ordinarily takes eight or
nine days , moderately fast freight , to Fend cnrs
or trains to Chicago ; It hns been done In fix
days. The clew freights ( due in jinrt to the
small number of curs going at nny one time ) ,
tbc lack ot f i ult or refi Iterator cars and the
Inexperience of the packers here for long dis
tance shipments , arc the greatest drawbacks.
"The orange rent-on of Mexico IH from the
latter part of September to the. 1st of Decem
ber. This pennon Ills In between Florida and
California , thus making Mexico absolute In Its
reason nnd with practically no competition In
our markets.- The question of getting orange
boxes IB also a terloUK one ; there are In reality
no factories for making orange boxes In Ibis
country , nnd Importation Is almost universal. "
