NBW YORK , Oct. SI.-Henry Clews , head
of Iho banking hou e ot Henry Clews &
Co , writes-
Wo Iwve had another ragged week In
Wall Btrce , though with no Important net
change in the prices of stocks. Trans
actions hnvo been conllncd very largely to
professional operator ! ! , most of whom , for
the moment , deem to prefer the "bear Hide
as bPM suited to the current mood of oper
ator ? One feature In tie opera Ions of
the piHslmlstB deserves attention ns a slg-
nlllrnnt pytiiptotn. They do not care to
risk large sales nnd refrain from anything
approaching nn oversold condition of the
mnrke' . There Is reason for this , as there
nro still "bulls" whose Interests are largo
enough to Induce the-m to make rcprlrnls
upon a "short" Interest big t-nough to make
It worth the powder.
The condition of the market is a natural
result ofho happenings of the last three
weeks. The great roallzlngs of Influential
operators have produced a timid feeling ,
whloh , In pplte of the conviction that the
prices of stocks nre Intrinsically moderate ,
causes hesitation nnd the postponcmon of
buying. Many operators nre discounted
nnd enfeebled at the lo's of their previous
inollts ; nnd , beyond continuance of tuo
re'covery of business and the Increase ot
railroad earnings , there arc no new ele
ments to revive "bull" enthusiasm , iMore-
OVIT , therei have been causes tor ho defer
ment of operations , which have appealed to
the "bulls , " great and Htnall , perhaps es
pecially to the former. The election has
been a diverge clement , nnd some people
have been led to thlhk t"int ! . . result may
have an effect upon confidence. In Ilnnncm
JntoreH a. The new phase of t'ne Cuban
question has given oecaslon for new fears
that we might be drawn Into serious em
broilments with Spain. Some have attached
nn undue Influence to the Nebraska rail
road suit , although It directly concerns only
state Interests Others have looked with
mistrust to the opening of congress , though
Just for what reasons has not been made
clear. In rene of thc'-e things has there
been any sulllclent ground for real appre
hension , but , put together. the > have suf
ficed , In the late timid and unsettled state
of the market , to afford an excuse for the
deferment of trnncnc'lons L irgc opera ors ,
however convinced that values are on i
scale that would admit of an upward move
ment , are naturally always disposed to
start a campaign In the presence of a
cloud on the horizon , though It may be no
bigger than a man's hand , and espec.allv
when there Is , as it present , nn absence of
any new Inspiration. Thus It has easily
come to pass that we have had a spiritless
nnd neglected market for the last three
weeks , and the "beai.s" have not been slow
to turn It to account This , however , is
bu" a natural after-phase of n great realiz
ing movement , and It takes time to re
cover from the effects of such a reaction
The recent drift of the market has , how
ever , s'lown ' more recupeintlvn force than
Is generally acknowledged In our financial
review of t'o weeks ago It was shoivn that
prices at that time averaged twelve and
one-quarter points below the highest llg-
urcs of September 17 , when values were at
the highest The following list of the himo

The present average decline In these
twenty stoeks since September 17 Is S'/i
points ; and ns the fall on October 13 was
121J , It follows that , within the last two
weeks , there has been nn average recovery
of 4 points. This linn happened pending a
dull and unhopeful condition of the market
and therefore has been little noticed ; but
It Is not the less a fact ; and It shows that ,
through all the late pi evading misgivings ,
there has been a substantial recovery going
forward.
Conditions appear to be drifting gradually
toward further recovery , though the move
ment may be gradual and attended with
considerable Irregularity In prices. The
uentlmcntnl Influences we have noted ns
having held the market In timid suspense
for the last three weeks nre becoming stale
and losing their effect. The result of the
election , whichever way it may go , Is not
expected to produce anything more than a
Blight temporary Hurry. The misgivings In
respect to the opening of congress are so in
tangible or Imaginary that no one cares to
mention them as a serious factor affecting
securities , nnd the feeling resolves Itself
into one of curiosity rather than anxiety
The yellow fever Is now a measured quan
tity , affecting a few railroads , but of no
general Importance , and veiglng toward ex
tinction by the approach of tiho period of
frost. The Front financial settlement con
nected with the Union Pacific railroad ,
which has been looked to as possibly in
volving a sharp disturbance In the money
market , it Is now found will be disposed of
without any such Inconvenience , and the
llnnl net Increase of cash In the treasury
will not exceed J2.000.000. Tiho decision on
the Nebraska case has been postponed. It
Is supposed until after the elections , from
which It Is Inferred that the verdict of the
court will be In favor of the railroads
The latest developments In the Cuban sit
uation are , taken as a whole , construed
favorably. The text of the reply of thu
Bpanlun government to Mlnistci Wciodford's
repiesentatlons has not bren made public ,
nnd apparently Is not likely to be published
until the document Is presented to con
gress. From such press reports as have
come from Madrid which , however were
based upon the first draft of the reply and
not on the llml document It seems prob-
nblo that the answer Is firm and candid , yet
courteous and moderate In tone and con-
taint Important explanations as te > the po
litical reforms vvhl h It Is proposed to In
troduce immediately In Cuba. The state
ments Just made by the Spanish minister at
Washington , however , nro more authorita
tive than foreign press surmises ; and It Is
to bo supposed that they harmonize with
the Bplrlt of the reply of his government to
Jlr. Woodford. His explicit stntcmcnu ns
to oho system of local government , which it
Is proposed to grunt to Cuba , nre .very Im
portant and have produced here a moro
favorable Impression as to the disposition of
the home government to deal Illwtally with
the colony than anything that has yet
liocn forthcoming from Spain. The terms
offer more to the Cubans than the con
servative cabinet has ever tendered , If not

N15W YOIUC , Oct. 31. The Financier
rays : The bank statement for the week can
lie Interpreted to mean what the totals
usually Indicate. The heavy Incrcus H In
the loan nnd deposit Items reflects actual
transactions , which have Involved only one
or two of the laigest banks. The loan In
crease of } 5li ( > .100 for the week Is covered
liy the expansion reported by three banks ,
laving the total of the other slxty-thiee
clearing house banks practleally unc .unit'd
'What the Increase will be Is rather dllllcull
to determine , but It Is perhaps connected
with the loans on sterling bills In this market -
ket and by domestic inquiry for funds.
The Increase in the deposits of one bank
nlone has been fs.ool.luo , which. Is of Itself
larger than the aggregate olmn&o for the
wek , or , to put the matter In another way ,
the depotlts o ftbe remaining banks huvo
fallen off since October SM. The expansion
In loans accounts for part of the deposit

, hold In Idle cnsh , 5IV,7 ICO more thn
