NKW YORK , Jan. 1C. Henry Clews , lita ot the banking house of Henry Clews & Co. Ovrltco of the situation In Wall street : Durlnp the Inst week the course of th Mock market li.is followed the direction fore Bhadowcd In our advice ? of January 9. Th Investment movement nns been very nctlv nnd railroad bonds hnve mndc further mi vnnccB. In which the dlvldend-pnylnK stock have also participated. Naturally , the move tncnt In stocks han sympathized with th Improvement In bonds. Too transactions re ported on the Stock exchange hnvo nvoragcc nhout 4W,000 shares per day nnd the tone o business Is distinctly firmer nnd prices hav Btradlly risen , The outsldn clement Is brliiR ItiK Into the rmrket considerable amounts derived from dividend * nnd Interest pay inuntfl , for transient employment nnd nitn Kt'tbcr the feeling preponderates stronfily In favor of a steady upward course of v.iltlci For n tlmo this prospect 1ms to contend will realizing by parties who were caught by th largo drop In prices during the fall ; this however , is only n transient Incident ant when It disappears prices will be more fre to respond to the ( pronounced bullish scntl ncnt nnd more or less of a "boom" may b developed. The foreign markets begin to how a turn In favor of New York , not only In London but ( till more at * Amsterdam and Berlin from which some Important buying order liavo been received during the week. At th moment the condition of the foreign ex- ohnngos Ig against Kuropenn buying of ou securities. Large amounts , aggrcgntln probably not less than } IO,000,000 , nrc due t this country by the Kuropenn centers , whlc nro permitted to run for the imke of th difference between local and foreign rates o Interest. A nlmllar condition of things ha existed for eomc months past and this fac has a natural tendency not only to chec foreign buying of our securities , but to In duce rcallratlpiiH here. On the one ham United States takings of I3urope.ni mer chandlso Imvo been diminished , nnd on th other foreign purchnces of our food product liavo been largely Increased through shor crops In nearly all the other supply conn tries. This has Inevitably brought homo cninqdcrnblo amount of our securities nn the drift may continue for some tlm longer ; but Ibis situation seems to 1mv jiassed Its climax and with nn Increase in our Imports of merchandise which lias dls tlnctly set In wo may expect to see som early abatement of the dlscourngcmen wblcb European money lenders have been systematically showing to purchases ot ou securities. The distinct growth In the fore of tbp sound money movement In this cetin try appears to be producing a recovery o confidence In our Investments across the At lantlc ; but that factor Is not likely to hnv any positive buying effect until the forclgi exchanges have recovered their normal bnl mice. There Is evidence enough , however that mo nro iiulto able to take cnre of ou own market nnd of nil tlio securities tha may bo sent hero fiom Europe. The latte factor may hnvo n certain measure of In llucnco In modifying the effect of bullish ten ijrnclcs hero but It Is by no means llkel > to wholly neutralize those tendencies ; for nftcr all , the available lloatlng supply o foreign held stocks and bonds must now be approaching "s minimum. The successful working out of railroad re construction schemes is gradually cllmlnat Ing those sources of disturbance from th market The Improving earnings of threads roads facilitate those settlements nnd hel , to bring about better adjustments than h some cases have been expected. The Im proving position of the Pacific rouls has n conspicuously wholesome effect. The reor gnnlzatton eommlttee of the Union Paclll lias obtained n controlling Intelcst in the Oregon Short Line , which gives It con trol also of the Oregon Railroad and Navlgn tlon company. As the Northern Pacific am Great Northern railway also held a large Interest In the Oregon Navigation company this arrangement binds more closely the co operation between this Important group o tratipcontlnentnl roads. Although there has been some falling off In the forwarding of wheat , the railroads still continue ) to show large Increases Ii tliulr gross earnings. The following state inent , showing the earnings , for the firs wcok of January , of the. twenty-two roads reporting on Wednesday last , will fairly In dlcatc this tendency ; Tucnly-two roads. , $2 $ , 110,514 51,835,011 JM2.C33 Dccrensc.

Union Paclllc'H net increiised $1,153,000 for the year of 1S97 over 1S90. The position of the railroad question In congress attracts llttlo attention , as there la no expectation that liny Important legislation will bo adopted. The congressional discussion of the cur rency question can hardly bo said to be nn clement of Importance In AVall street operations ; mainly for the reason that , on the Stock exchange , tlicro Is llttlo ex pectation that anything will bo accom plished on that Issue at the present ses sion of congress. It cannot , however , bo safely considered certain that at least some moderate measure of reform will not be cn- ncted , for the reason that undoubtedly n clmiiKu of attitude on this question Is In process among congressmen which cannot be estimated until a test vote Is taken. Some well Informed watchers In Washing ton are hopeful thut a igood measure will be carried , lint , In liny case , the thor oughly Intelligent and practical Inquiry into the question which Is now being made openly before the country will so far en lighten public opinion as to bring a re construction of our currency system much nearer accomplishment than It has over yet been , and that must bo a great step gained toward establishing public confi dence. i , > I.iMtilnii Sloncy CMnrkc-1.

The Financier says : The New York banks have mndo a new record In tho. matter of loans , the total of | 610,9S2COO nt the cloao ot the week being the largest over reported. Deposits arc also nbovo any figure previously mndc. During the first two weeks of tha present year the gain In deposits hns been $1GGOO,000 , while loans have expanded only 13,200,000 , In view of this fact the ease In money rates docs not appear strange nnd If the banks continue to gain from the Interior ns at present lower quotations will follow , The withdrawal of government deposits , however , may steady the situation. The hanks gained during the Inst week fo,200,200 In cash , ? 2,050COO of which was ( n 5pecl < \ Gold la now coming In this direction , from Canada , the last ten days' r&colpts having approximated JftVO.OW. The Increase In deposits was $6,020,400. while loans nrc only Jl,215,700 heavier , The excess rcfcrvc In consequence expanded J.1,074.000 nnd stands at $23..S,775. This Is only half as largo ns reported one year ngo , but In vlow of the fact that remittances nro now becom ing larger , nn Increase mny bo expected from week to week. In the changes made during the week the operations seem to have been confined to the larger banks , The de posits of tha Hanover , the National Park nnd the National City banks nrc $7,000,000 larger thnn the previous week. Whether this Is due to special operation cannot bo defi nitely stated , but it Is stated that the re-- malnlng banks have less money than at the close of Jnnunry 8. The factors that led to the gain In cash , however , nre rather well defined nnd they may bo expected to nffcct other Institutions having largo country con nections from this time on. As was pointed out last week , the enormous Interior move ment at this season forces down money rates and compels capital to seek better rates nbroad. In other words , It leads to gold exports. But the anomaly Is now pre sented of our Idle money being Invested In foreign exchange on this side of the water. Kuropo Is now using at least $ .30,0i , - 000 In foreign or deferred credits nnd unless rates * nbroad go to n very low level there Is no prospect of this sum being Immediately reduced. So sensitive , however , Is the situa tion since the United States became the dominant power In the International market that credit can be expanded or reduced nt will. Clearings Indicate that n much larger volume of money than usual will bo needed this year to properly care for the business being done. CHlCArtO GRAIN AXl ) PROVISIONS. Fen ( tire * of ( lip Trading nml C 1'rliTN on .Siiluriluj , CHICAGO , Jan. 15. Wheat today closed at an advance of about Vfcc for May. TradIng - Ing was almost altogether of a scalping character , and the firmness was the result of an unexpected advance at Liverpool , Other muikcts were dull and heavy , corn nnd oats closing about Uc lower each , and provisions lost 2' 7'Sc. Wheat was surprisingly strong when con trasted with the weak feeling that - vailed at the close yesterday. Fl irnns- actlono In May wore -t ttom 'JOlfcc to MVfcc , nn-.ilnat WKT&OUc mo previous afternoon , nnd In about half an hour It was able to bo sold for a-second or two at iKHJic. Calls foi the day had been sod ! at 90V4c , but It was said most of those privileges had been bought up by people who were short ns a snfeguaid against the principal eccentrici ties of BO erratic a market. The Liverpool market closed from % d to &sd hlqher than It did yesterday. This was somewhat of a surprise to traders , many of whom had sold short yesterday In anticipation of a decline hero today , and caused considerable covering. The week's shipments of wheat and flour as reported by IJradstreet's was 5,133,000 , liu. , against 3.4S1.COD bu. the week before and 3,248.000 bu. the corresponding week of 1S97. That suggested a total ol perhaps 7,500,000 bu. from all sources , but llccrbohms estimated that the world's ship ments for the week would be found Mon day to be about 0,000,000 bu. Tlio Minne apolis and Duluth receipts were 333 cars , against 357 cars the corresponding day of the previous week and 294 cars a year ago. Chicago receipts were 35 cars. 13 of which were of contract quality. The snow that was falling and had already fallen was a reassurance regarding the promise of the crop. Liverpool reported spot wheat weak and 2d lower for California , with sellers of Argentine wheat nt 3d par quarter lower than It was offered Friday. The closing continental cables' ' showed some recovery from the previous day's heavy decline , nnd that tended to strengthen the hands of the bulls. Paris showed n rise of COc In Jan uary flour , and 20c In March-June , besides 3."c In January wheat and Cc In wheat for the March-June term. The exports for the day were moderate at 300,000 bu. Business was at no time very heavy. While trading still continues to be done chiefly for May delivery , there Is a growing disposition to work clear of It and transfer spjculatlve dealings Into July , the proportion of trade in which Is growing dally. After the early advance , the offering's somewhat exceeded the demand , and the prlco sagged to be tween 90c and M' c , but got .good support at that and closed at 90 ! < e bid , Business In corn was extremely dull and merely of a scalping character. The gen eral tendency of the market was downward , more from dullness than from any bear ish news. The dullness , however , prevented prices from declining much , Export de mand was reported good. May ranged from 29Uc to 2STM/29C. and closed Uc lower nt 29c. Oats was duller. If possible , than corn. There was some buying of May , supposed Lo be ngalnst sales of cash oats. Tlio mar ket was Inclined to easiness throughout. Scalpers sold sparingly. May ranged from 2.T)4c ) to 23c , and closed a shade lower at . Provisions were dull nnd easier. Hog mar ket was firmer , which slightly affected opening prices , but the market evidently lad not recovered from yesterday's heavy tquldatlon , There was moderate selling by commission houses today. At the close May pork was 5c lower at $9.33 ; May lard , 2 o lower at $1.75 and May ribs , 2',4e ' lower it $ I.G7 ! . Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat , 27 cars ; corn , 273 cars ; oats , 203 cars ; hogs , 40,000 head. Leading futures ranged ns follows. Articles. . I Open. I High. I Low. I Closo. I Yeat'y.

Nearly all the cattle hi"-r rtOTe killers , so that for | " - . - itio offerings were quite 'r ' , - . " The market as \\hole. was about ns dull and unsatisfactory as could be Im agined , It was In fact a typical Saturday's market , only a , llttlo more so than common. The requirements of the buyers seemed to bo very limited .and they did not act as It they needed many cattle. However , they would take them If they could secure a concession to pay for carrying them over Sunday. The. most desirable kinds sold about ns well as yesterday , but heavy cattle were pretty generally 10c lower The market on cows and heifers was also slow and weak , though not EO very much lower than yesterday. The offerings , con sisting of ten or a dozen loads , were eventually taken , but It was late before a clearance was effected. Stockcrs and feeders were In light supply and as usual at the close of the. week there was not much doing In that division of the yards. Tno cattle market of the past week ex perienced both good nnd bad days. The re ceipts were the largest of any week since be fore the holidays , but the demand was also large , so that there was no surplus of cattle on sale. During the early part of the week the general tendency was upward and on some days the market was full of encourage ment , so that the prospect was > most pleasIng - Ing to sellers. It was generally realized , however , that the advanpe had been forcd by light receipts and that a heavy run -would tend to break values down agaJn , for that reason a sharp reaction wan not entirely un expected. The break came on Friday and was the result of large receipts and lower markets at other selling points , which depressed - ' pressed the market here and closed the week -with a dull and unsatisfactory market. One of the features of the cattle trade of the past week were the extremely high prices paid for light stock cattle weighing 400 to GOO pounds , such cattle bringing as much as the best fat cattle. The bunply of feeders was rather light , but the demand was good and the market continued strong right up to the close of the week In spite of the break In beef cattle. HOGS The week closed with a very fair run of hOBB nnd with the market In reasonably good shnpe , though a little lower than on the day before. The trade. OB a whole , was fairly active , though n little slow In spots , owing to salesmen hnlJInff for steady prices , nnd the offerings were all taken In good Benson. Heavy hogs sold at * 3.40@3.43 , with the bulk at 43.45. Yesterday there wore quite a number of loads averaging 300 rounds and above , at J3.47H , nnd a few at (3.DO , though the big- firing was at { 3.45 , the same as today. In other words , the heavy hogs rold today nt Trices that were steady to Be lower than yesterday. Modlum weight nnd light loads brought J3.W0 3CO , with light loads principally at J3.Mff3.CO. Yesterday there were ICES loads at J3.D5 , and more at $3.0715 , the top for the two days being the same. The total receipts' of hogs the past week aver aged up very well ns compared with previous weckD , though the total for the week was not overly large. The market as n whole was gooO that Is , the demand was active and fully equal to the absorption of nil arrivals , so that each day's receipts met with ready sale at cunent prices. The week opened with a firm market , dropped back n. little on Tuesday , advnnced on Wednesday nnd Thursday , closing oft n little easier at the end of the week. The fluctuations were ) generally \ery light , only a cent or two n Oay , except with the Tuesday's break , when there was an average decline of 4e , followed by an advance of 7c. The week closed with the mar ket about Co higher than It was at the opening. The IIOK market at the present time Is 20025c higher than a month ago and 25G30o higher than a year ago. SHEEl' There won a good liberal run of sheep In the yards today , but none , lee many for the demand. The market was \ery active and strong to lOo higher. Everything was sold and weighed up early In the morning. The sheep market was In excellent shape nil the week. Local packers wanted a good many and bought freely , while there were at the name lime n good many buyers who wanted cheep to take east , The result was that sheep not only sold readily , but the market gradually Irmed up.

There were no changes from yesterday's prices for the few hundred offered for sole. The market this week closes firm for good cattle anl lower for the poorest. Liberal receipts are expected for next week and a. moderate reaction In prices would cause no surprise. Trade In hogs was fairly active , but prices were about 2'c lower than yesterday.
