NEW YOItK , Nov. 21. Henry Clowa , of

writes e < ( jo sltuatloti In Wall street :
Tlio Wall street markets Hliow little
clianc. from the Intu coinparnllve dullness
nncl TrriEUlnrlXy of prices. Current event *
do not MillU-u to Htlr Bpeotilntlon to activity
In the rnnki or either "hulls" or "bears , "
nnd IniHlncwi Is mainly confined to lirluf
piofcBHlonnl turns , IJHHIMI upon the varylim
whims of the moment. Thu market ( lifters ,
however , from Its condition of hvo or three
wcelis ngo , In that It nppcnis to hiivc
reached it polld bottom na to vnlues. There
are no pessimists with couniRe cnoUKh to
nttfmpt Inrso depressions ! nnd equally no
"bulls" who think the situation pronmlng
to encrgctlo tniinlpulutlons for n pro
nounced ripe. The Cub.tn Idea having
largely lost Its force , the Jingo sentiment
liclnw apparently on the wane , nnd the Ne
braska rnllioail decision having tiprnln been
l)0'tponcd ) , thtro H less miiterlnl for the
creation of ppns.itlons , and operatots arc
driven to pay more attention to current
factors rclntltifi to condition. ) * which dl-
rcotly affect the raining value of Hecurl-
ties ; whlrh IB a hopeful symptom In the
situation , ns facts or that nuturo arc fen-
er.illy mnklnp a oed showing nnd yet have
been long disregarded , or not sufficiently
nppreclati tl , The result of this clmngo Is
a greater dlncrlmlnatlon lit puichascH , BC-
lectlona being more regulated by the merits
of the several securities than by mere Ben-
eatlons. This Is a distinct pain In the
morale of the market , calculated to cn-
cournso confidence and to produce a more
rational regulation of values.
There Is , however , one factor which Is
Bocretly exerting it greater Influence upon
the market than any other , perhaps more
than all others combined , but uhlch Is
comparatively llttlo regarded. The amount
of stocks thrown upon the market In the
recent great HuUldatlon Is probably much
greater than has been generally supposed.
The sales \\ITC not merely from the ordi
nary floating supply being can led on the
market. Since the- great btenkdown of 1SS.T
nncl pending the pllvor excitement , the
friends ot railroads and other corporations
had found It necepsnry to protect their In
teresta through buying the stocks which
\vero coming In large volume upon the mar
ket , Hut for those purchases the effect
on values through the three years of suppressed -
pressed crisis would have been much morf
serious than It proved to be. Those ucuinu-
latlons must have been Immense ; and , for
that reason , the holders of the stocks were
the morei ready to seize the first oppor
tunity to realize. The sanguine outside1
element saw. In the recovery of confidence
nnd trade , n legitimate basis for a great
rise In prices , nnd on that Impulse tliej
bought without stint or fear. They over-
lookeil this vast unseen accumulation nnd
before they had awoke to n perception of
Its existence the tin boxes of corporate
capitalists had been emptied on the mnrktt
nt tlio highest range of prlc'es. This has
been the preat controlling factor In the
market blnco the beginning of Oetober and
few of the rnnlt nnd file of operators have
noticed It. Herein lies the answer to thi
question BO many are asking why dots not
such n generally well situated market
react from the great fall In prlce.s ? The
reply Is the supply of stocon the market
has been Immensely Incicancel , nnd a re
covery In price's calls for n corresponding
Increase In buying capacity nnd carrying
ability. It takes time to digest and dis
tribute this large sudden addition to th > ?
floating supply of securities and to collect
the needful new set of buyers.
It Is a significant fact that this avalanche
has not produced more serious effects on
prices than have actually occurred. That
fact plainly implies great ronlldcncc In
values und a large purchasing ability In the
market. It Is to be remembeied that tlie
break In prices was Btlmulnted by the large
fall outflow of currency to the interior nnd
the consceiueiit check upon the ability oC
the banks to extend their loans upon stock
collaterals. That restraint Is now abating
Tlie money Is coming back rapidly and , at
the opening of the new year , the banks
will again bo flooded with loanable re
sources. Wlnn that point has been reached
the market will have been subjected to a
long nnd testing trial of Its strength ; a
new set of buyers ! will be brought Into the
market by the feeling- that conditions seem
to warrant a new upward movement In
prices ; and no adverse conditions being
forthcoming the logic of the January sit
uation will seem to favor a vigorous "bull"
campaign. It Is not Impossible that till"
tendency may be appreclateel In advance
and Its outcome partially anticipated next
mmith.
T.io next considerable element affectlnp
the market will be the assembling of con
gress , with Its attendant recommendation-- )
fioni tCic president and his .secretaries. So
( far as can bo seen at present there Is llttl
probability that any seriously disturbing
measures will bo Introduced. It may not be
easy to keep both houses lAlthln p'iclfic
limits In respect to Cuba , but there seems
to be llttlo room for doubt that the president
Will use his utmost Influence to prevent that
Question from drlf.lng Into n phase that
would disturb , public confidence through de-
Tanging our relations wlta Spain , He would
bo strongly backed by the business senti
ment of the country In taking such a course ,
nnd the jingo legislators may be restrained
from e.sces.ses by the dlscovoiy that there it ,
no lonynr any political capital to be made
out ot this question , but rather public dis
favor.
In public estimation by far the most Im
portant matter to occupy the attention of
congress Is currency reform. As yet , however -
over , Wall rt'reet ' has not generally viewed
It as a. question hem Ing very directly upon
the market for securities Thlp apparent
neglect cannot bo due to oversight of tlu *
fact that the quality of securities denorn ] *
upon the qUalF.y of motley In lAhlch they are
payable ; perhaps the explanation Is rather
that the exchange fraternity have some
doubt whether any legislation on the ques
tion can be ; at present accomplished. On
this there Is undoubtedly room for differ
ences of opinion. Hut two things appear to
bo certain ; first , that the president and the
eecretary of the , treasury and apparently
nlso Speaker Itecd will earnestly employ
their Influence te > secure the oiloni Ion of sueh
legislation ; ami. second , that If congress
ehould be founel lukewarm on ( Tie subject
members 111 be subject to a pressure from
the business sentiment of the country calcu
lated to nrouse > them to n .sense of their
du'ly ' , for the earnestness of conservative
opinion on the subject Is little less than that
which demanded the lepeal of the coinage
clauses of the Sherman law of 1EOO. In any
cuso It ennnot bo denied that the present
condition of our currency Is nttende-d with
cr.wu misgiving ? , especially across > ho At
lantic , aH to the value of our securities
That , Indeed , IB the one great ohat.iclu with
.which wo hnvo to contend In placing our
obligations abroad and In keeping them
there. If something Is not elono by llio next
congress to remedy this dH.rust the fee-llng
mill bo deepened ; If congress passes a law
tending to glvo assurance ! that wo s > hnl ! nl-
wnya bo nblo to pay these obligations In
gold our foreign credit would bo greatly
etrengthened and a new source of demand
for our stocks and bonds would ba create I.
Whatever may bo done In respect to the cur
rency u resolution should be ml op ed de
claring nil obligations of the United States
government payable "In gold ; " not , as nt

N15W YOHK , Nov. 2l-The New York
Financier soya : TJie statement of the New
York clearing house1 bunks for the week
presents no features of Importance beyond
the plain evidence that money Is still ac
cumulating nt this center. The week's
changes , however , are so complicated with
the Union 1'aclflc foreclosure settlomonts.
which began Monday with the transfer of
the ) sinking fund bonds to the syndicate ,
that a definite Interpretation la pomuuhat
Vllllcult , The first payment of Jl3wo.ooo Is
to be made through the depository bunku
nnd preparations to that end have been
finally completed. The consummation ex
plains the heavy balances by some of the
banks at the clearing house during the last
day or two und the Increases and de
creases In the total of the statement. Thus
the actual decrease ) in deposits can be
traced to eight of the larger bunks. The
accumulation of cash- for the week was
not less than J3.639.0CO , but It Is noteworthy
In the reserve of the bank which has taken
part in the Union Pacific deal of JUSO.WX ) .
Some of the inoro prominent banks men
tioned in connection with the plan have
trained in cash , but there la no doubt that
The expansion was due in a perceptible de-
gtto to the flow of funila from tha Interior.
The levin Increase Is also Involved In the
caifces already mentioned.
The ppln for the week cannot bo at
tributed to mercantile ! ncceta , from the fact
that the cxputiHloiv of one bank which has
been advancing money to the Union Pacific
syndicate * as over UOo.OW. The truth of
the matter la that this loans of the bniika
hove contracted I72S.OOO since the previous
statement. An matters stand the total In
crease In loan ! ) of New York banks since
November ( I has been ? 1 > 774SOO , but as the
loans of the one bank mentioned have in
the same time grown about ? 12,000OX > , the
only Infcicnco In that the demand for
money for business needs han fallen off
and that maturing loans are being liqui
dated.
ThU explains the present ease In money
rates. Uoud commercial paper Is scarce and
but llttlu money Is being loaned In the west
In lints which usually absorb takings at
this reason. The season of an Inward flow
of money Is at hand and unless something
unforeseen occurs the outlook Is for con
tinued cheap money. Hankers arc talking
of Increased Interest on country bank busi
ness , but nothing definite Is forthcoming
on this point.

CHICAGO , Nov. 20 A declining tendency ,
duo principally to lack of speculative
activity , characterized business In all the
grain and provision pits today. At the close
wheat showed declines of % c In December
und % c In Slay. Corn declined U0c. O.its
% c for December nnd USHo for May. Pro
visions declined 5 < iT10c.
Wheat opened dull and \'tc \ lower on ac
count of Liverpool dropping the larger part
3f yesterday's sudden nnd extravagant
julge. It continued dull except for about
Iftccn minutes In the middle of the session ,
when the dull feature of the market was
seized upon ns n sulllclcnt sign that u bear
raid might be successful , und It was to a
moderate extent.
The Minneapolis nnd Duluth receipts were
1,102 cars , against 1,230 cars the preceding
Saturday and 7S.1 ; cars the corresponding day
a year ago. Chicago had 13S cars , against
1S1 cars a week ago and 7U cars last year.
The week's clearances of mhcat and ( lour
lo Utirope from both coasts of the United
States and Canada were , with one cxcep-
: lon , tile heaviest on record T.iey amounted
: o GG.ia,7i2 ! Ini. , against B,4K > , COO bu. the week
liefora and 3,3D7WO bu. on the like week of
the picvloue year.
Argentine did not ship any grain to Europe
this week , but a cablegram from the Liver
pool Corn Trade Nous , stating that Atgen-
tlne wni offering a new crop of wheat for
March shipment at 33 shillings a quarter , or
Oe per bu. , w.ia one of the most bearish
features in the news of the day. It wns
ilso very generally believed that yesterday's
riecttllar advance at Liverpool \\u due to
inivlng ciders from Chicago.
Continental markets were s'oidy to firm.
Antwerp quotations were undianged and
Par120 centimes higher for near and 10
centimes up for distant dc'lverlcs
Kxport clearanc"S for the day from At
lantic ports were -ns.OoO bu. Some export
business wns reportc/l as having been done
from here ; 150.0W ) bu. was the quantity , and
I' was said a similar quantity p.\as disposed
of for export at Duluth. The probability Is
that only a liO.OOO bu. lot was sold. New
York reported eight boatloads sold for ship
ment there.
May wheat opened at from 90' , c to PfVUc ,
sold up to OOTic , down near the close to
! 0'4c and lustei' ' at rO'&fiWic. '
Corn was weak wl h the spread between
December and May widened to 31' < . ( ff31c.

CATTM3 There was a decent run of cattle
for a Saturday , but half of all the cattle here
were consigned direct to packers and were
not ottered for sale at all. Aa a result there
were not cattle enough on sale to make much
of a market. As usual on a Saturday the
trade was without feature of Importance.
The four or live loads of corn fed steers
sold at first at about steady prices. There
\\ns one lot good enough to bilng $4.iO
Cows and heifers sold In about the same
notches as yesterday and the trade was of
llttlo Importance owing to the few cattle
here. . , .
Tuero were no stocUers or teeners 01 nn >
Importance In the yards. The fresh receipts
were ox remoly light and the cattle in the
hands of speculators were pretty well
cleaned up.
The seibon when range cattle may be ex
pected to arrive is at an end and from now
on the market will be dependent upon the
arrivals of nitlvo or corn fed cattle. The
end of the range sea-'on Is reflected In , argoty
reduced receipts , the to ill arrivals last week
having been the smallest for any lAeek since
' With 'so few cattle here during the past
week It was not at all difficult to kec ? the
y.iren cleared ; In fact packers were com
pelled to piece out supplies wl.a shipments
trom other markets.
The tendency on r.an y little eorn cd Ens s
was upward , the maiket on such being
strong all the ucek. At the pame time
coarse and heavy cattle had a downward
tendency , the market on that kln-1 being
weak and slow a good deal of the time.
Butcharb * mock , such as desirable kinds
of cows and heifers , sold high all the i.\cek
ar.d the market for th.e six days was not
mueli altered. The common and medium
kinds were * not always In such active de
mand , but they sold , and at good prices
While the demand for stockers und feeders
large as Is usually the
, \\as not particularly ,
case at this season of the year. It was fully
equal to the supply. The market on choice
llttlo cattle , which were in good demand
all the week , nvtis not much changed.
Heavy cattle were somewhat neglected and
the tendency of values was lower on that
HOGS The" market on hops opened a little
eatlcr this morning , but the demand wtis veiy
fair while there wns no great number on sale.
In consequence , the market stiffened up a lit
tle and closed fully as good us yesterday.
Trie prices paid ranpcd from 13.22'i to $ J.45 ,
with the Krent bulk of the Bales at 5i.3lO3.4U.
the same ns yesterday. There were , liowexcr ,
mo-e enles today at the lower prices , po tli.it thu
a\eroKe price was a fraction of a cent lower
than jcsteiday.
The trade -was fairly active at the prevailing
prices , and an early clearance \\as effected.
Receipts of hogs , us well as of cattle , were
Eomewlmt smaller the past week Hum for the
week previous , but lurpter than two weeks ago.
The market , as a whole , was \ nery fair
shape , tlioiiRhalucs ranged somewhat lower.
The week opened with IIORS BOllInK at the
lowest point touched since the latter pirt or
July. On Tuesday t.he market was a little

both yarns and goods wna more actlvu last
week. Viirns were steady , though users
are lens eager buyers , because thu danger
of a strike la considered removcel. Cloths
hold fairly for China , but India was rather
lobs anxious , Huslness was Irregular , some
elepartmcnts being Inactive and others very
well engaged , Print cloths have been doing
much better , Eastern offers are low and
the llmlla large , but they have been rarely
accepted of late , Generally , however , the
situation Is more cheerful. According to

sales of yaniH there at low prices , \\hllo
the German spinners muko u similar re
