NEW YORK , March 20. Henry Clews ,
licad of the banking hourc of Henry Clews
& Co. , writes of the situation In Wall
street :
On Saturday last the Block market
reached a crisis. The uncertainty connected
with our telatloiiH with Spain , the exciting
jircpiiiutloriB for war contingencies and the
growing belief thnt the destruction of the
Maine was enured by nn external force had
worked up a feeling of suspense which It
win felt mutt soon find nn explosive ex
pression InViUI street. In thu midst of
this feeling some 00,000 shares of stock
owned In ICutope wcru thrown upon the
market , with the effect of a general fall In
prices of 2 to 3 points , which probably
would have gone further but for large pur-
< : last's to cover "short" contracts. Satur-
day'H prices were the lowest that have oc
curred since the date of the Maine disaster
nnd therefore ? may bu regarded ns the cul
mination of that event up to date. The fol
lowing comparison of prices on February
Ju nnd on Saturday last will show the ex
tent of thu decline since that event :

"When It Is considered that , oven In the
< ; vent of war with Spain which Is far from
Ijelng a certainty the development of the
vast resources or this country will continue
to go on ; that the supply nnd demand for
products and manufactured Roods will con-
tlntip just the same as at present ; that the
railroads will not only have their usual
business , but that the transport of troops
nnd provisions therefor will be an addi
tional source of revenue , so that their
prosperous condition , which Is at present
conspicuous , Is not likely to meet with any
perlous derangement. In view of these con-
Klderntlons and of the general conllilence
that If war does occur It will bo short nnd
miecesHful , It scums reasonable to expect
Hint , In spite of war Influences , money will
neek Investment for thn sake of Its
und will not go Into hoard without malting
any return , ns tome seem to Imagine. In
the event of war the absolute conlldencc In
ultimate victory would furnish a bottom
for prices , nnd the mailed might easily be
less affected than It Is now by political un
certainties. It Is therefore a question
whether prices hnve not already fallen suf
ficiently to discount about the worst thnt
Is liable to happen In the now problemati
cal future. The market appears disposed to
take the affirmative side of this question ,
for during the first half of this week there
wan a general recovery of S to 3 points
nbovo the lowest prices of Saturday's
break , nnd London has again become a
moderate buyer of our stacks , notwith
standing the stringency of money there.
I-atcr In the week prices yielded on the re
port thnt the findings of the naval board
of Inquiry would be rendered at the end of
this week. ,
Current events show that In the future
International conflicts arc more likely to
bo foil nht on the sen than on land. As a
result four nations have , within the present
month , appropriated J33S.rOO.000 for naval
purposes Great lirltaln , $119.000,000 ; United
States. J.V,000.000 ; Russia , JC9.C03.000. and Ger
many , IIOO.OOO.COO. These outlays have bc n
very erroneously Interpreted nsi foreshadow
ing disturbance of the "world's money mar
kets , as Interfering with the.negotiation of
corporate loans and a being generally un
favorable to the Investment markets. I can
nee no justification whatever for such ap
prehensions ; they are . 'the1 product of pessi
mistic Imaginations. The outlays of all the
countries , except our own , rolll extend over
a series of years. Those of tBngland nnd
Germany will bo provided for In the ordi
nary course of revenue and therefore will
Involve no borrowing. Russia will gradually
draw her Jf.9,000,000 out of the Imperial funds
now on deposit , and our own appropriations
will bo .provided for out \of surplus cash
> iow In the treasury. Thus none of these
expenditures Involve any Issue of loans ,
while thosv > of Russia and the United Stntc-s
n 111 put 1119.000,000 of money now hoarded
into active circulation , thereby contributing
to case In the 'money markets nnd strength
In the cash resources of the banks.
The home- money market Is amply protected -
tocted against any contingency In connec-
itlon with our relations with Spain. The
amount of the current gold Imports , re
ceived ami to- arrive , now reachea over $23.-
030,000. and although exchange has risen to
n rate which forbids further Importations at
ihe moment , yet our creditor claims upon
Kurope are such ns to place within our
reach further very large amounts of gold
fhould we need It. The1 largeness of our
exports still continues nnd the moderation
of the Imports Is unchanged , so that the
trade account for February , Including gold
nnd flllver. shows a balance In our favoit
of $ l < i,000.000 adding 'further ' to the already
extraordinary flo.itln ? balance In our favor
held In other countries. For the first eight
months of the fiscal year a , balance of ex
ports and Imports * . Including gold nnd silver ,
f hews tias.000,000 to the credit of the United-
States. Making n liberal deduction on ac
count of the net debtor Items outside of
Imports and exports nnd resuming that the
movement of securities has averaged con
siderably against us. there must still now
remain an unliquidated foreign balance In
our favor of very extraordinary dimensions ;
much larger. I apprehend , than Is generally
eupposctf. or than would be. credited If fairly
estimated.
The next stage of Interest In the securities
market will . .arrivewhen the1 naval board of
Inquiry makes Its report to the president ,
which IB nan1 expected to occur about at
> the en > ! of this week. This will raise a
mew phasei of excitement , outside of the
larger question of the final eettlement of
ithe Cuban question , which , whatever Its
purport , must affect the value of stocks
favorably If the report wholly exonerates
Spain ; unfavorably If she should bo found
renponsMble. for the absence , of duo diligence
In the protection of United States property
In her harbor. In the latter case some time
niuft elapse first for the formulation of our
claims and next for their consideration by
Spain , This period must be a strain upon
the public patience , and there is danger
lest It may become so complicate * ! with the
larger question ns to develop unfortunate
phases of popular feeling. We are thus gel-
ting Into the thick , of the complications and
the. material for excitements may become
in or a senIUvo than what has been hith
erto encountered. Under these prospects
the financial markets may be subjected to
the test of at new net of disturbing condi
tions , and wo therefore counsel caution.
The court of Inquiry 05 the Maine dls-
ntter will simply report their conclusions
from the evidence submitted. Then before
a claim for Indemnity against Spain Is de-
onanded the president will most likely sub
mit the. case to this country's best au (
thorities on Jurisprudence. No better se
lection cauld bo made than the following ;
K. J. Phelpii. ex-minister to St. James ; Rob
ert Wncoln , ex-minister to St. JnVnew. and
J. B. Eustls. ejc-mlnlster to Paris. These
three gentlemen have had great experience
In matters of International law by virtue
of the olllclal positions which they have
very creditably filled , nnd their decision
will determine whether or not we liavo a
claim against the government of Spain
which will Involve- the loss of the prop
erty destroyed and a pension for the fam
ilies of the aa men killed.

nccta , but U Is Improbable that rates will fi

CO.VDITIOX ov XK\V YORK BANKS.
Policy of Contraction Itrlnfrn Henry
llfMlncllann In Sonic MUCH.
NRW YORK , March 20. The Financier
says : Judging from the statement of the
associated hanks of New York City for the
week ending March 19 It will require a
larger war scare than has yet appenred to
put money nt higher rates than have ruled
for a fnw weeks past. Even with less than
J.flOWOO of the Imported gold showing In
tin total , the banks have gained $ ti12&CO
In cash , the npeclc Increase of $ fi,2tl,30i ) hav
ing been offset by n IOHH of $1GSSSOO In legal
tenders , the latter representing In larpe part
the LhlpincntR to the Interior. The posltl n
cf the New York banks at present Is very
strong. Thnv hold an excess reserve of
$2tniXtO.W , as compared with $30,823 , : two
weeUs ags. The policy of contraction , how
ever , has brought about heavy reductions
In several items. Thus the loans if the
barks are now $39,600,000 less than one
montl' ago. Deposits In the same time h.xvo
fallen oft more than $ ,000,000. The loss In
rash , however , has been only $10.000,000 , all
of which has gone to Interior Institutions ,
and the i-r.ciss reserve Is nearly $3,000,0'PO
larger than at the close of business Feb
ruary IThe ! Interior demand has been
rather well xatlsded , but owing to the
cheapness of transfer rates the domestic
exchange quotations are moving almost In
dependently of us-uai factors. As showing
the calmness which prevails It may bo
note , ! lluit Interior banks are again In thU
market ni rut-chasers of commercial paper.
The chr-nges In the totals for the week are
lc"3 limn expected. The loan Item decreased
HV.Cfi',100 , duo to the continued liquidation.
It Is worth mentioning that the decreases
of one 1-ank , winch Is the largest lender of
call funds and also the largest Importer of
sceclf. accounts for $6,000,000 of the total re-
ductlon. Dnposlts have decreased $7,301,500 ,
but the bank which reduced Its loan Item
so heavily figures but slightly In this. There
seems ttj be no doubt that the wales of ster
ling bills have some connection with the
loan j | decrease. It la estimated that at least
j . : > ) .000,000 of accumulate , ! sterling bills are
held , In this city , and any rjpld advance
In money must of necessity lead to con
tinued large Imports of gold. This amount
of doferrcel credits will Increase rather than
diminish under normal conditions , as the
monthly trade balance * In favor of the
United States arc growing , exports showIng -
Ing an expansion and Imports a contrac
tion. Short of actual 'war there seems to
bo no reason for n money market higher
than prevails at present.
CHICAGO .AMI PROVISIONS.
of tlic TrndlMBr and Cl
Prlc-CK nilSiitnrilny. .
CHICAGO , March 19. May wheat broad
ened Into an active market today. An In
sistent demand fiom shorts sent the price
up to Jl.'O ? during the early part of the
session , but heavy sales by Letter broke
the price badly toward the close. Final
prices showed a decline of 2&c In May and
TSfi'Ttc In July. Favorable weather nnd ex
pectations of neavy receipts Monday wera
factors In the decline In both options. Corn
nnd oats both broke with the lute slump In
wheat , corn closing unchanged and oats
ajioittdo lower. Provisions were heavy and
closed DflT'/ic lower.
The opening In wheat was Irregular.
Traders In July rather looked with favor
on the selling side , as the cold wave , which
was expected to follow the rains , did not
materialize and there was apparently no
prospect of any serious drop In tempera
ture. Cables failed to respond to the
strength shown here yesterday. Tills caused
some liquidation In July at the outset , openIng -
Ing prices being at & 3TWSGc , showing Vic
decline. There the market halted. May
was strong from the start. Shorts were
active. Bidders 'for thU delivery , which
opened > 4c higher nt $1.06 , and heavy buyIng -
Ing soon sent prices up to $1.0G % . The de
mand for May nnd the advance In thnt fu
ture soon brought July shorts Into the pit
to protect themselves , heavy buyers of yes
terday coming Into the market again and
the demand became general. The result was
a gradual advance to 8G'/c. Realizing then
set In and a reaction to ECc took place ,
May at the same time dropping to $ l.OC % .
The dropping off In the northwest receipts
was a helping Influence. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 312 cars , against 375 last
week nnd 412 n year ago. Chicago receipts
were 121 cars , fifty of contract grade. The
day's clearances of wheat and flour from
Atlantic ports were heavy , amounting to
CCO.OOO bu. , but this was. In a measure off
set by the heavy primary receipts , 463,000
bu. Continental markets were steady. The
reaction In both options was of short dura
tion. The demand soon became heavy
again , espjclally in May , the price of
which was sent up to $1.07. July advanced
to S6c Tile advance was well maintained
up to 11 o'clock , when the market began
gradually to give way. Letter's brokers
had meantime been selling heavily of May
at top figures and as shorts became filled
up the demand from this source decreased. a
Liquidation , however , did not become gen
eral until heavy estimated receipts for Mon
day were posted.This brought In a flood
of realizing orders und prices late In the
session broke very rapidly. Letter kept up
his selling of May to the last and probably
disposed of over 1,000.000 bu. In the last
few minutes early buyers became sellers
and with this added weight of liquidation
the market became very weak , though July
did not suffer so much as May. Closing
price for the latter option was $1.03 , July
closing at S3ii < ? S3c.
Up to the last'half hour of the session
corn was slow but steady at a slight ad
vance. Enormous clearances and the
strength of wheat were the Influences. The
late break In wheat brought about free
offerings , principally from yesterday's buy
ers , and the market closed easy. May
ranged from 29'/4&29c to 29V&C and closed
unchanged at 29V4c.
Oats early were flrm. There waa good
general buying , mostly through sympathy
with the wheat strength , nnd prices ad
vanced slightly. Support was withdrawn
when the late decline In wheat took place
nnd prices dropped off. May ranged < from at
25fi2Gc ( to 20o and closed a shade lower
at 25(025c. (

CATTLE Receipts today , 1.20S head , yes
terday 2,307 , one week ago 2,108 , two weeks
ao 1,137. Although no great run Is ever
anticipated on a Saturday , the market all
the week was so encouraging to shippers
that It was only reasonable to expect pretty
decent receipts. The rain yesterday was
probably in part the cause of the day's re
ceipts being the lightest in two weeks. The
market is > a whole was in good shape and
practically everything sold early with no
appreciable change In values.
Ifoef Steers The must of- the fat cattle
wore not overly good , but there was one
bunch good enough to bring $1.80. The mar
ket was active at Just about steady prices
and the offerings were not long in finding
buyers.
Hutchers' Stock Only a few cows and
heifers were on sale , and as the demand
was good they moved off very readily ut
unchanged prices.
Stock Cattle The few loads of stockers
and feeders In first hands sold early and
the trade was soon over with , no new
features being brought out.
The Week Receipts of cattle the past
week fell a little short of the previous
week's record , but still there waa a. .fair
run. The market as a whole was In very
fair condition and prices paid generally
satisfactory to sellers. The fact that there
was an active demand all the week that
was fully equal to , if not in excess of , the
supply was the real cause of values being
so well maintained. The tendency of cattle
values at other selling points was down
ward and for the week very material re
ductions were made In some cases. At this
point , however , desirable beef cattle just
about held their own. Common and half-
fat cattle , owing to a , falling off In the de
mand for such cattle ifor feeding purposes ,
were not such good sellers ns they were a
while back and prices cased off somewhat
for that reason. Cow stuff sold well all the
week without material change in prices.
Light stock cattle were in active demand
and were quick sellers at very strong prices.
HOGS Hecelpts today. 3,3fiO ; ymterday , 4,70.1 ;
one week ago , 4.H2 ; two weeks ntro ,
5,437. As the market had been Rrnilu-
ally tending upward for several days It
was only natural to look for a eood Sutunlny's
run , but , ns was the cose with cattle , the rain
doubtleaa cut down the number aomewliat.
The market opened with the best hops selling
at just about steady prices. In addition to the
local demand there was fair buying on the part
of shippers , which helptd to maintain prices.
Later on , after the shippers were full , the
market weakened and cloned a shade easier.
The hoRs gold at fj.COij3.SO , as against W.Kff
3.S5 yesterday. There were more loads al JJ.70
than any other price , the same as yesterday , 1'it
there were alxo several loads below that prlcf
today. The nverape of all the sales was unly
HO lower than yesterday.
It can hardly be claimed that the hog market
of the past week watr to the liking of sellers , n
fact made more 'apparent by the falling off In
