L'omliiK ftnnk Statement Affect Week's Cnsli .Movements. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The news from I In (Tn lo was practically eliminated as an In fluence from the stock market today for tho llrst time since the event of last Friday. The coming bank statement began to loom big on the horizon of tomorrow's pre liminary llgures of the week's cash move ments will hIIow some estimate of what the showing will be. In the Item of loans, how ever, the stntemcnt Itself on Saturday will have to be awaited. Apparently there can be in) escnpo from a weal: statement on both scores. The banks have lost cash on the Interior movement during the week, but the drain to tho subtreasury has been scnsl bly diminished. Large payments havo been made to the banks on account of Australian and Klondike gold and the inversion of In ternal revenue receipts Into bunk deposits Is apparently begin tig to affect the account with the government Institution. The in crease In the subtreasury is to be distrib uted ultimo toly to banks throughout tho country which have bonds with the treas ury to securo them. Tho bulk of the pay nwnts to the government are made In New York and consequently they will be de posited temporarily In New York banks having what are called "live accounts" with tho government nnd so may affect the showing of the banks this week. The acceptances by tho secretary of the treasury of tenders of government bonds were not known until after tho market closed today and tho payment for these bondB nro too lato to llguro In tills week's bank statement anyhow. Yesterday's feeling of skepticism of tho cfllcacy of this measure to give such relief to the money market ns would bcnetlt apec ulatlon iu stocks was deepened today and the additional sharp rise In tho bid prices of government bonds on call increased the doubt as to tenders being made at prices which the secretary would be inclined to accent Iu any largo amount. Tho expressed unwillingness of tho sccretnry to offer any considerable bonus to owners of bonds to Induco them to sell Influenced this feeling, which was a considerable factor in tho heaviness nnd uncertainty which pervaded the market all day. Tho St. Paul dividend episode was disconcerting to 11 part of the speculators who hud mule very confident predictions of an increase In tho dividend "Kl't "lock on the strength of their belief. Their most plausihlo argument wns that at the time the St. Paul authori ties rejected the offer from Northern Pa clllc. which was nftcrward accepted by Hurllngton, advances were given to stock holders thnt they would furo as well ns though the offer had been accepted. Re public Steel was particularly weak ns an nfter effect of thu poor showing of tho annual report, and Amalgamated Copper was conspicuously under pressure all day. hilgur was sold ostensibly on a good prod uct canning season.
