In Wall Btrcet affairs still remain under

pieelallon of Ibis elass of Kicmllles How
much higher these tendeneles may be ex
pected to carry prices , I do not pietend
to say , but It is verj safe to predict that ,
irom this time forward , railroad stocks
will hn\e n higher standing among In-
\estois and that their future market value
will stand hlghei than the standard of

features In lloek Island Interest is ro-
vlved by the expectation that Its January

Increase as Its gross. New York Central
Is stronger on the assumption that its nb-
Horpllon of the LakeShore road has now
be-eomo n virtual certainty and that the
LOntemplated deal with the Michigan Cen
tral IB sure of accnmpltsiment. It Is un-
dei stood that the Vanderbllt Interest has
recently taken up about Ci.COO hhares. In
Union Paclllc there has been free selling
of the I/referred shares by those who have
received them In the conversion ot the
money receipts under the syndicate ar
rangements , but nil the hecuiltles of this
company show unusual activity. The pre-
fcried stock of the Great Northern has
advanced freely under active buying , based
on the gene-rally favorable prospacts of the
road and the expectation that it will pay
( i per cent the maximum dividend that can
bo paid upon that Issue of stock. Balti

NI3W YO1UC , Feb. C. The Financier says :
Tno statement of the New York clearing
house banks for the week ending Tobruary
C Is notable as reflecting ! the ability of the
banks to absorb and put to more or less
profitable use the Immense accumulation
of funds nt this center. The aggregate de-
j > oslls of the sixty-live Institutions are now
nearly J174,000,000.
What this ineans will be better appre
ciated when It IH stated that It Is an lu
cre-use of Jlf > r > , ( xx.000 ovei the same week
last year and JJIl.OOO.eXK ) In excess of the
de-posit Item for the similar period In 1S90.
The- loans of the banks nowBtunel about
J < , i3MK > , ooo , which Is $13GOCOCOO In excess of
the first week In February , ! S9j , and $183-
000,000 higher than reported In li > % . Yet
the banks now bavo In their vaults less
than $33,000,0 ( > 0 Idle COST , ns against $ , " ) ! , -
rofl.OCO one year ago and $10,000,000 two years
ago.
Clearly the hanking situation as regards
dpinanel might be a great deal worse. Even
conceding that special operations count In
Homo part foi the enormous totals , there-
Is a considerable margin for commercial
needs shown In the current statements
from week to week. The Increase In cur-
re'ncy In the last week Is $17,991,107 , which
Is pretty e-ve-nly distributed among eight
or ten leading bunks , one Institution only
snowing a moro than ordinary Increase.
The expansion In deposits was $11,141,000 ,
nnd the tmnUs gained In cash $2,008,000.
Tno loan Increase and the cash addition
do not count for the deposit growth , the
discrepancy amauiiMng to $1.U.1,000 , but this
Is due perhaps to the confusing system of
averages employed In making the state
ment. Tno expansion In deposits can bo
traced through n larger number of banks
than usual , the National Park leading with
over $3,000,000 to Its credit. The net de
posits of Jhls ono Institution are now In
excess of $50,000,000. The banks are ) still
tnlnlng heavily In cash from the Interior ,
nlthouf.h domestic exchange nt Important
centers shown dccldcel weakness , aa com-
pire'd with two weeks ago , reflecting. It Is
to be presumed , the cessation of Interest
remittances to New York.
The pay ment of several millions of Union
rnclflo di posits Into the treasury has no
appreciable * effect on the market , but It Is
to bo noted that the excess reserve of the
banks Is down $ S.7Nr ! ; > , and with anything
like n continued showing , such n.s nmdo
In the current statement , rates will bo
steadier In tone. Anything moro than a
moderately firm basis seems out of the
question for a considerable ) period The
reserve liu raiments by American Interests
abroad are In the nature of n safety value
to. check sudden fluctuations upward.

CHICAGO , Teb. 5. After n dull and un-
ntcresting session wheat closed today at
ic decline. Trading was almost entirely
ocal , nnd fluctuations were narrow. Corn
clo ed unchanged. Oats were strong , but
advanced only Uc. Provisions reached n
new level of prices , but reacted nnd closed
unchanged to a shade lower ,
For a few minutes around the opening
wheat was Inclined to sympathize with the
action of the Liverpool market. That rnnr-
kct. nflcr opening n little higher , declined
nnel closed Uel to ? ' d lower In the face ot
ycstetdny's Improvement here On this no-
count first sales of May were at a slight
lecllne. May opening nt PI'tllDac , against
yesterday's closlm * price ot M'ic. Uesldes
the Liverpool decline , northwest receipts
contlnueel heavy. Minneapolis and Duluth
eported a total of 3S7 cars , against 320
ast week , and 279 n year ago. Chicago re
ceipts were forty-six cars. The weekly
exports wr-ro also not up to expectations ,
1,411,000 bu , against fi.026,000 the week be
fore. A lather bearish showing of the
visible supply was looked for Monday , and
New York re-ported moderate selling at the
opening for foreign account. Notwltaslnnd.
ny nil this , the market became strong
almost Immediately. Moderate buying by
ocnl long Interests principally supple
mented by a llttlo covering by St. lyouls
irokers of lines put out yrstorelay , cnrrled
the price of May steadily up to 95V { f
)5BiC ) ( , The advance was helped by the con-
llned Hlrcngth of oats nnd provisions , both
of which markets made new prices for the
session dm Ing the morning. There were
reports of grain famlno from parts of
southeastern Asia , and Callfotnia reported
i continuation of the drouth. A factor In
the ndvnnce was the report that the rp-
luctlon on the Italian grain duty would
irobably remain In effect until the ? last
of May. After the ndvnnce to 9VWK1HC
11 Ices enspd off slowly to OJ'jC on realizing ,
) tlt closing Paris cables caused another
jrlef pciiod ot strength , nnd n reaction to
iSMltjHc. Paris was from 40 to G"i centimes
: ilgher for Hour , nnd from 10 to 30 centimes
ilgher for wheat. During the last half
bom of the session prices gradually re
ceded. Theie vveie moderate though per
sistent ofterlngs , principally In the way
of local evening up transactions , nnd Mav
finally elroppeel to y3c. That price was bid
at the close.
The market for corn was firm hut dull ,
lint prices averaging n little over yester-
elnv's close. The market was a good deal
Influenced by the action of oats Wheat
se-alpers were moderate buvrrs. The slight
ddvuncc dl appeired under realizing late
In the session. May closing steady. May
ranged from 29'459'VsC / to 235J20HC , and
closeel unchanged at 2l'/4c
Oats were again quite active , nnd the
market madea new high mark for the
season. IJeports of large cable acceptances
were an Important factor in the advance.
There was heavy buying by the most In-
lluentlal traders , nnd shlppe-is and commis
sion houses took largo quantities. The advance -
vance brought out llbei.il realizing , and
pirt of the advance was lost , the market
closing firm ; May ranged from 24r-dc to
\5i21iAc , and closed < fc higher nt 24r'Mc.
Piovlslons vveie again quite active , oprn-
Ing slightly higher , the mm ket quickly be
came strong on a continuation of the gen
eral buying noticeable yesterday. Packers
vveie credited with consleleiable buying.
Prices leached the highest points of the
season , but heavy realizing nt the top
c lused n reaction , the market closing
steady , but with all the ndvnncej lost May
pork closed unchanged at $1027 ; May lard ,
juc lower at $11.U ! , , and May ribs 2Uc
lower at $303ff.07'i. (

as usual at the close of the -\\eeU , and with

as vvcro heie met with ready hale , and
everything was weighed up and the jaids
deserted at an early hour.
Less than 11 dozen loads of cornfcd steers
were offered , and none of them very sooil.
The buyers took what there were , paying
Just about ycsterdaj's prices. A few head
sold as hlg as $ I.W , but th re were no full

Butchers' stock was In go"d request for
the last day of the week , and the few

market was at least stead } , with buyers In
some cases calling It strongci.
Tiere was onlj one string of stock cattle

the basis of a llrnipr market.
The cattle inuiket the past week was
rather more favorable to the selling Inter

selling at a llttlo stionger price" , and the
market continued \ery firm until Wednes
day , when It received a little bacUbet. It
lecoMjetl , however , and the lost ground
was soon refrained , fco that at the close of
the weeU values were a little hlghei than
was the case at the close of the previous
w eek.
The market on cows and heifers followed
the Ic'ad of beef steeis and showed about
the same gains In strength.
The trade In stock cattle started out quite
briskly at the beginning of the week , but
later on as the country seemed to hold
back , and as supplies were accumulating In
the hands of speculators , values broke fully
lOc. Toward the last of the week there
was a little better demand from the coun
try , and values llrmed up somewhat. The
country has been a wild buyer all the sea
son , light stock cattle especially selling bc-
jond all reason. Once In a while , when fat
cattle suffer a break , the country seems to
realze the folly of p lying so much moro
for feeders than fat cattle are selling for ,
and then the market expediences a slight
reaction. Still the country Is crazy for cat
tle , and thd. market sooa recovers Its
strength under free buying.
HOGS The story of the day's trading In hogs
Is FOOD told as tnc mirkctaa without Im
portant change from jesteiday. The offerings
wore liberal nnd the demand Rood and the IIOKS
changed liindH rapldl ) , nn eaily clearance being
effected. The prices paid ranged about the kaine
as ) esterday , the big tiring felling at { 3.70 ®
3.72'i.
Hogs were In good demand all the past week
nnd iirrhals at this point met with quite reidy
mile lit preval'lng plrccs. The week opened with
hn advance , but values eared off on Tuesday nnd
Wednesday , the IOHS for the two ( lajn amounting
to nearly fc. On Thursday there was a blK
Jump In the market , which practically held good
until the closeof the week. The week doped
with the average of all the eiles 60 higher than
at the opening nnd almost 10s hUher than the
clo o of the previous week. The week ns a whole
developed the highest range of value * In several
months
SHEEP The wock closed with a peed , liberal
rur of sheep The demand \\oa good and prnc-
tlcillv everything sold early and nt stead)1
prices.
The demand for sheep vvna peed all the week ,
ard each da'H arrivals met with ready sals.
Floth packers and feeders were free buvcis nnd
though on some das the arrivals were large
they were none too large for the demand. At
the close of the week values were linn , OH
compare * ! with the week before
