STUCK MARKET UNCERTAIN
Henry Oltwt Considers Mtnej and Otrn
Grip Disturbing Elimtnti.
NO EASY RATES TILL LATE IN THE FALL

Intercut.
NUW YOKK, Sept. IE. (Special.) In his
weekly review of Wall street, Henry Clews,
head of tho banking home of Henry Clew
& Co., says:
The bimlnciH Bltuntlon Is eminently sound.
There has been no undue expansion of
credit mid overproduction Is not yet In
sight. Heavy clcnrlng house returns, large
rullroad earnings and small volume of
rallurcs nil testify to the Kcnorul activity
nml soundness of business nnd tho pre
dominance of fnvornblo conditions. cncn
no parallel could bo made with the de
pression which followed tho assassination
of President Gartleld. Then contldence was
unsettled by political uncertainties and the
country was rlpo for u reaction from pre
vious commercial and flnnnelnl excesses.
Huch Is not the case now. Whatever wenK
Kpots may develop, und thero nre some, it
must bo admitted, It seems qultn certain
that the period of business activity Is not
nt an end. In some Instances, and par
tlculiirly on the Stock exclinnge, prices
have been pushed too high ns n result of
over-sanguine expectations, This, however,
Is nn excess that will correct Itxclr, una It
Is uulte llkoly that lower prices for stocks
and for some articles nf merchandise,
notably Iron products, would infuso fresh
activity nnd confidence Into thn various
markets. It Is altogether premature to
nssiimi) that tho wave of prosperity which
we have ben enjoying the last few years
has spent Its force. Its momentum Is Htlll
grent, and If speculation Is held wlthlil
re'isonnble bounds wo may conlldcntly ex
pect Its contlnuanco for a further period.
On this account the scarcity of money may
be regarded ns u blessing In disguise. With
very easy money nnd a big corn crop wn
should certnlnly have rushed Into an nn
mnnngcablo boom that would have quickly
created material for a good-slied panic
later on.
L'nrrrtnln H lenient.
The future of the stock market Is still
uncertain. In splto of largo earnings nnd
Important negotiations no Important up
ward movement can be maintained In faco
of the uncertainty about money nnd tho
corn crop. The best that can bo expected
of corn Is a. yield of 1.300.000,000 to 1,400,000.030
bushels. An early frost, however, would
seriously Injure late planted corn, upon
which such a yield chiefly depends, so It
must bo remembered that thero Is still
great risk In the crop falling below these
ilgures, A loss of COO.OOO.ono bushels or over
cannot bo Ignored, even If largely compen
sated for by belter prices nnd good crops
of other sorts. Tho deficiency of the corn
crop will bo felt lator on, tho movement of
corn or Its equivalent In cnttlo not begin
ning until after tho harvest.
As to the monoy market, Its future Is
problematical, except that It seems folly
to expect easy rules until funds begin to
icturn from tho wcHt, which Is usually tho
end of October or early November. Hank
reserves are exceedingly low, nnd the only
sources of relief nro gold Imports and
treasury disbursements. Wo seem likely to
draw gold from Kuropo nt nny dnv In fair
Hums, but any largo drain would Induce
higher rates for exchange nnd thereby
render tho movement moro difficult.
Moner .Mnrket Dlfllculty.
The courso of tho International exchanges
II1 be watched with unusual Interest dur
ing tho next few weeks. Gold from the
Klondike, lu arriving moro freely, but not
In nmounts sufficient to afford any material
relief. Tho main source of difficulty In tho
money mnrkot Is tho treasury, which In
splto of reduced taxation still nbsorbs mora
for purposes of ruvenue than It Is able to
disburse It seems to mo that while Secre
tary Ongo is to be commended In his desire
to remain neutral as much ns possible In
his management of the treasury. It is &
wise policy, howover, to counteract as far
an within his power the 111 effects of de
fective methods by purchaso of bonds.
Increase of public deposits or anticipation
of Interest, and thereby he Is nblo to con
slderably. offset treasury absorptions. The
first two of these methods of course moot
with objections from many points of view
nnd tho latter may not bo largo enough to
bo cffectlvo, but certainly Mr. Gngo la
warranted in resorting to unusunl methods
when unusual stringency Is threatened no
long as tho treasury Is chiefly responsible.
Natural conditions nre not In favor at
. present of loading up with stocks on credit,
nlthough Indications point to a good trad
ing market for several weeks to come.
I'rollts should be taken, howevor, on all
tho good rallies,
DISCOUNTS RATES HARDENING
Ilank nf Hug-land liaise Price of
Money flecanne of New
from HufTiiln.
LONDON, Sept. 15. Tho strength of the
Stock exchange, which experienced such a
check when tho president wns assaulted, ex
perienced a most sudden check on the an
nouncement of his death. After a momen
tary tremor nnd the sagging Inevitable on
the first announcement of tho shooting the
market had rallied determinedly, supported
here by Immonso buying orders believed to
be chiefly American.
The course of trading throughout was
well marked by a healthy upward trend,
which was helped greatly by tho confldent
ronorlB as to Mr, McKlnley's convalescence.
With tho socond shock, however, tho
whole course of the 'Inside support, power
ful but secret, that had been holding up the
market must' be gone over again In order to
prevent a severe decllno hlch tho big in
terests would not warrant at this juncture
, One thing Is considered certain, the death or
1 Mr. McKlnley will precipitate gold ship
ments, owing to the dealro of New Yorkers
to strengthen their position.
. Tho Rank of Kngland, following numerous
inquiries for eagles, raised the" rote to 76s m,
but In case there should be a determination
on the part of tho United States to Import
gold the advance of a farthing will not keep
It hero. Consequently discount rates are
hardening materially, 2 per cent being
naked on three months' bills and 3 per cent
for longer periods. Even at these rates the
holders nf bills hesitate In the hope of a
further rise.
Of course a decided rise In money here
would tend to depress flrst-clasa securities,
but, fort unntcly. London, Paris and Berlin
are all well supplied with gold.
It Is not thought that the 10,000,000 that
will probably bo demanded by New York
will create a. serious stringency here. To
those able; to Ignore a high money rate the
prospective shading of gllt-cdgcd securities
should offer a good opportunity In the way
of bargain purchases.
w!"ei. '?."?'''' aeciirltles and Industrials
are hesitating over the International outlook
mining shares are decidedly moro choerful.
especially on the strength of better nows
from South Africa and the approaching
date of the effectiveness of Lord Kitchener's
proclamation.
These considerations favorably affect
Botitli Afrln mining ahares. which also
feel the Influence of the steady Increasing
output of the Rand. B
BAD DAY ON GERMAN BOURSE
Report Come from All Over Kmplre
of Bank Failure nnd tlutl
nrn Entanglements,
BERLIN, Sept. IB. The announcement of
tho death of Mr. McKlnley did not exercise
any depressing Influence on the German
bourses. It Is believed that Mr. Itooscvelt
would pursue tho same policy ns his prede
cessor and also that the efforts of New
York financiers to prevent n crisis would
succeed. Canadian Pnclflo nnd Northern
Pacific shares fell off somewhat Friday,
but this was partly recovered Saturday,
The Berlin bourse, however, suffered Inde
pendently of tho death of Mr. McKlnley
from a variety nf untownrd events. Thn
week began with the announcement that
Aiisemeine Kieinnann Gessoichnft would
lose hnlf Its capital through recent llnanrtal
, troubles. Ixiter came tho announcement
iiisu ino nccKienmire-Btreiits iiypotken
naiiK woum lose nair its capital owing lo
the difficulties of last spring. Next enmo
the stutement that the report ,of the in
vestigating committee, regarding tho affairs
of the Pomeranian Hypnthetkeu bank
, would be much more unfavorable thin had
been expected.
Friday brought news of Vimbeislements
amounting to more than 4,ftjO,000 marks by
4hf manager of the Breslau United Btilpplne
.-u,,.m,m, ...M,,iin n uuiiiurr oi ocrun nun
Hamburg banks 'In losses. This wns fol-
ldwed by news of his suicide.
Yesterday brought a run upon the Hell.
,hronn Gewerbe bank.i causing suspension.
'The sajne day witnessed ulso a reduction
fy the rolled wire syndicate of 10 msrks
ncritQh In th&'prlc4of wire and a reduction
by the wire nail syndicate of S nrarks per
metric hundredweight. In addition to the
foregoing depressing circumstances, tunnel -ous
annual reports were published showing
very disappointing renults. .Moreover, tho
reports from Industrial center contlnueJ
gloomy. A number of first-class llrms at
Hcmsehcld, tho great hardware center, are
In difficulties. Some factorlej there have
reduced wages 10 per cent and many work
men have been dlschaiged.
Tho coal situation grows worse. The coal
syndicate Is carrying on a sharp struggle
with Hrltlsh coal In northern ports nnd U
reducing prices thero 15 per cent. It was
announced during the week that the ryndl
cate would meet soon to consider u nnie nl
reduction. Thei-o conditions make the week
one of Its worst of the tunimer season.
Quotations of Industries fell generally,
soino henvlly, Ocenn transportation shares
continued to weaken upon declining freight
rates, Domestic loan weakened on the
expectation of an advance In the Helens
bank rate of discount. The pipers expect
an udvnncn soon, nrguing that conditions in
New York will chiefly bring It iibout. The
announcement that German banks will tut-o
tho Russian railway loan of SO,000,OW marks
has made an excellent Impression on the
bourse, ns showing contldence on the tlpun
clnl situation, but It could not Impart nny
strength to quotations. It Is believed the
loan will be henvlly over subscribed, owing
to tho present preference for Interest bear
ing securities over shures.
The sale nf the shares of the Itnmbufg
American I'nckot company to the vnlue of
l.fmO.OOO marks to New York causes tho
Kreuio Zcltung to raise a cry of nlnrm
and to declare that J. Plcrpont Morgan Is
trying to get control of tho German llns.
The paper argues that this Is quite possible,
adding: "Tho factors that mnke It possible
are the Immense flnnnelnl resources of the
Americans, the cheapness of German trans
portation shares and the fact that both the
great lines must very soon raise new capi
tal, which tho German market Is not able
to supply,"

CATTL12 Thero were only a few cattle
offered today and not cuougn to make a
test of tho market, tfor the week the sup
ply has' bcen fairly liberal, ns compared
with tho Inst Hoveral weeks, but iim com
pared with tho same week or last year thero
is a big ilccrcaso. Tho demand has been
good nil tho week for practically all kinds
and as a result prices havo ruled good and
strong.
Corn-fed steers havo not been In heavy
supply and ns packers all seemed to want a
few tho market haB bcen good and linn alt
the week. As compared with tho close ot
last week there Is not mucn chango notice
able lu the prices paid und tho situation
Is perhaps best described by calling tho
mnrket active and strong for tho week.
Tho cow trade has also been lu very satis
factory condition. The Ilrst of the week tho
receipts were quite liberal, but since that
time the receipts have been lighter nnd
prices havo Improved on anything at all
desirable 15Q25u. As the demand seemed
to bo heavier than the supply It did not
take long to clean up each day's receipts.
Hulls, calves und stags have commanded
steady to stronger prices all tho week
where the quality was satlstnctory.
There has been a better feeder trado this
week than fur somo tlmo past. Fleshy
feeders weighing from 1,000 pounds up are
In tho best demand und are fully 25c higher
than they wero n week ago. Choice year
lings are ulso considerably higher, but they
havo not Improved quite as much as tho
heavy feeders. Cattle, howevor, weighing
from SCO to U00 pounds are rather neglectod
and aro not much If any higher than they
wero a week ago, whllo common Btuff ot ail
weights Is a drug on tho market and al
most Impossible to dispose of at any prico.
Thero havo been a good many western
rnngo steers In tho yards this week that
wero good enough for killers. The demand
has been strong all tho week and the mar
ket In some places looked a little higher.
Heavy receipts at other points, however,
prevented nny marked advance here. Cows
can be quoted 15025c higher and so also
can feeders ot good quality.

HOGS There was
a light run of hogs
hero today for even a Saturday and as tho
demand on tho part of local packers was
In good shupo and favorable reports were
received from other points tho market ruled
active und fully 5c higher than yesterday's
average. The first sales were not quite
that good, as a few sold at JG.47H and 16.50,
but the market soon Armed up nnd tho bulk
ot nil the sales went from JG.47H to $6.55. It
was a good active market from start to
finish and kept getting stronger as the
morning advanced, everything being sold In
good season. As high as J6.60 was paid for
n prime bunch.
The supply ot hogs at this point has been
light this week, but still a gain Is noted
over the previous week. It should bo re
membered, however, that the receipts Inst
week were the lightest of any week so far
this year. As compared with the corre
sponding' period of last year thero Is a
marked decrease, as the table of receipts
abovo will show. Prices have advanced
quite sharply during tho week, tho market
now being over 25c higher than at the close
of last week. Today Is tho high day ot the
year to date and in fact the high day since
June 5, 1893, when the average cost was
16.69. Representative sales;

SHEEP There has been a consldpmlilv
better tone to the trado on sheep and lambs
this week than has been noted of lnt.
Receipts were a trlflo lighter than thev
wero last week and there Is a big decrease
ns compared with tho same week Inst year.
Tho demand on the part of packers hus
been moro liberal and ns a result the mar
ket has advanced all nround on both sheep
and lumbB 10&15c. Tho advance of courso
only affects tho better grades, us common
stuff, which Is neither feeders or killers. Is
neglected. Packers, however, wanted the
desirable grades and tho market had moro
life than tor somo time past.
Tho feeder trade lias also picked tip a
little. The demand haa been fully equal
to tho sjpnly and tho murkct may be
quoted a little stronger all around.

NEW YORK, Sept. H.-Followlng thf

Prcsluents Lincoln und Uarlleiu, tne stock
exchange uujourncd Immedlaiciy upon us
semollng tociu, out ot respect to the
memory of President McUlniey. As a con
sequence, tho money margct nnd the ex
changes wero butli merciy nominal und
threw no light on how tho president s dtnih
would uffect the markets. The only inci
dent worthy ot attention was the weekly
bunk statement. The decrease In ensn le
serves or j.i.sio.100 was tuthcr large." Hun
expected, even with tho payments yester
day for government bona redemption not
included. But on the other hand, tho stock
market liquidation during thu week hus
contracted loans of some l.',879,iW, thJ
materially reducing the legal reserve re
qulrement to tho nciieiU of the surp.us,
which is oniy lightly encroached upon,
Murked success h.id uetu acliloved In the
tnsK set for organized capital of teuupciut
Ing the stock murKct tor the heavy biuw
ot lust Saturday, when it had to tucc the
effect of the attempted assussinatlun ot
President McKlnley. Seemingly not sum
clcnt uctount whs taktn of tho qui- . Im
provement nnd supposed approac to re
covery of the distinguished pa.icnt, lor
yestetdny when the alarming news wus
received of his relapse to near dcuth's door
tho stock market slumped and within
lift ecu mlnuus ot trailing after tho openliu
the lnborlous results uclucvcd by a weeks
careful nursing of stocks wero wiped out.
Prices yesterday evening were generally
lower than on last Saturday. During tho
week they had been at ono tlmo protty
fully restored to tho level prevailing be
fore tho attack upon tho president. Tho
Ilrst measures concerted for tho protection
of the murkct wero by the clearing hoiibo
committee. Acting as tho representatives
of all tho clearing houso banks nnd of thu
foremost llnnncierH and capitalists of tho
country, they wero able to secure the -operation
of all thoso great Torces for ono
guarding the money market against undue
stringency. Abundant credits were forth
coming on Monday for ull solvent borrowers
to meet their actual needs.
Sklllrul operators In stocks wero on the
floor of the exchnngo to protect vnlues,
thereby keeping up bids for stocks, taking
offerings nt tnodernto declines and bo pre
venting tho reckless sacrlllco of holdlnrs
nnd the willing out of collateral margins
..l 1 . . . wujutio weiu uuk uuilievcil
without n lavish outlay of resources, as tho
liquidation was heavy nnd urgent nnd per
sistent, but success wns manifest before
trading had proceeded long on Monday.
But tho (lnnnclul wisdom which presided
over the movement viewed with n Jealous
eyo tho heavy Inroads making upon monoy
resources by tho withdrawals from tho cir
culation of tho surplus revenues of the
government nt a tlmo when tho need was
bo urgent.
The appeal which was formulated to the
secretary of the treasury met with a quirk
responso by Invitntlon for tenders of bond
for redemption to tho amount of $20,000,000
nnd tho diversion of $5,000,000 of Intcrnnl
revenue collections Into nntlonnl bank de
positories. This nfforded considerable re
fe,fnnd offft partially tho bad news from
Buffalo. During tho middle of ,tho week
thero was bo much success shown in tho of
lprts to project unci recupcrnte the market
that somo disposition developed to set on
foot an active speculation for a rise. Heavy
realizing wbb accomplished under cover of
this movement by those who had bought
licavlly to sustain tho mnrkot on Saturday
nnI fnrly thin week. This not only re
lieved the situation by strengthening tho
resources of this clement In tho market!
but also checked the Injudicious speculation
for a rise. Tho acute efTect prodiced upon
stocks and the heavy sellfng of stocks
yesterday wns nmplo wnrning that money

The Financier suys: Tho bank statement
of last week wns made on rising averages
for cash, becauso of the large navments
for bonds by the treasury, which wew Snly
pnrt ally reflected in the return. The df.
rffin.ii"it0.,0 bWkH J5' "eternal revenue
collections under Tuesday's order of tho
secretary of the treasury did not become
fully effective last week because upon Its
promulgation thero wero considerable sums
In transit to tho Now York sub itrcnstiry
from western points. From this dlwslon
?h.intci ;?vone collections therefore
thero probably were moderately large
amounts of money added to the cash of
Hh,Xnnk8CiV. ?at""-day and further co"
trlbutlons will te made car y In tho cur

to continue to purchaso 3. 4 and 6 per cent
government bonds may cause largo offer
ings of such bonds this week, and upon the
nSn7C0.,f. ,Re8e brings' of such bonds
payment will be promptly made. There
