PRUDENT TO AWAIT THE CROP RESULTS Ilnillcn ! ClintiKc l 1'iilillc from Doubt ( a Coiillilenec tlie Mont Inlltieiitlnl J'nc or In the .Stock Market for a WUIIc. NEW YOKK. Aug. 28. ( Special. ) Henry Clcwa , head of tbo banking house of Henry Clews & Co. , writes : The advance In stocks has reached a point where purchaws will have to be tnado with greater discrimination than a few weeks ago. Some stocks have hail unusual advances and buyers were justified In taking some profits , no matter how promising the future appeared. This week there has been consid erable realizing by both Insiders and the shrewder class of operators. Strong manip ulation carried tunic of the specialties up wards probably too fast for stability and certain specialties may soon develop a ft- back ; besides a halt when It comes In the upward movement of the best dividend pay ers will naturally deprive the market of strong support. There wag also a feeling thai the making of peace with Spain has been about discounted , and that It Is now prudent to await crop results and a further Improvement In business before booming the market much more. A few operators professed fears of higher money rates. Not any of these factors , however , were of much consequence. Prices have advanced to such high figures that a moderate reaction , ad mitting fresh buying Interests and leveling the "pyramid" accounts , would strengthen rather than weaken the market Under present favorable conditions no violent re action can be expected Money rates may harden somewhat when crop and fall trade demands assert themselves , but any decided rise In Interest rates will rapidly bring gold from Europe and renewed case In money. The most Influential factor In the stock market for some time to come will be the radical change In public sentiment from doubt to confidence , which has received pow erful stimulus from the war. The new feel ing of national self-confldcnca has exerted an unbeen but none the less real effect upon Individuals , our leaders have suddenly be come optimists , old doubts have been cast aside and new hopes are reviving enterprise and Industry The effect of this utnte of affairs Is-bound to assert Itself very effect ively on the Stock Exchange. At the moment prices may show some hesitancy In the for ward movement , but this can only bo tempo rary. Increased earnings and Increased divi dends cannot be Ignored , and In duo season prices will show a ntlll higher level , espe cially In the lower grade properties. Among the changes wo should like our customers to particularly bear In mind Is this. The opening of congress Is usually looked for ward to with dread and as a time for Belling stocks , but ithls year Is likely to prove a notable exception The old disturbing Issues nro dead and cannot he revived , for the more. Important Issues resulting from the war must.have first attention. It Is practically ccrtai'n also that a new sound currency measure will pass next winter ; so that for once In our history the assembling of con gress Is likely to ba more of a bull than a bear argument The war has left on our hands some seri ous problems , whlrh from this time forward must largely occupy public attention. It Is difficult to define the changes with exact ness until after the completion of the labors of the peace commission. The point , how ever , on which there Is most certainty Is that Porto Hlco will become a permanent part of the dominions of the United States. The disposal to be finally made of Cuba cannot at present bo foreseen ; but the first atop may bo expected < o be provisional placing the inhabitants In a state of proba tion with a view to ascertaining their capac ity for peaceful self-government , and this tutelage being conducted under the auspices and protection of the United States. Should that experiment result satisfactorily , our government would doubtless be disposed to respect the terms of our declaration of war by giving Cuba independence under a United States protectorate Dy far the most difficult question , however - over , Is the disposition to bo made of the Philippine Islands , in respect to which noth ing Is definitely stipulated. Legal opinion appears to Incline to the view that the re cent victories of General Merrltt will not change the itcrms specific. ! In the peace pro tocol. However this may be , It rests In our power to make whatever dlpposal of the islands we may please ; for should the Span ish commissioners refuse to accept our de mands , the peace conference would bo a fail ure , hostilities would be resumed and our arms would accomplish what Spain had re fused to grant on the pretense that we had conquered only a small part of the territory. At present the president appears ) to bo still waiting for full evidence of the sentiment of the American people on this question of annexation. Probably his personal disposi tion disinclines him to appropriate the whole group of Islands ; but at the same time he may bo expected to follow the course to which the majority of public opinion points. Private wishes and opinions apart , there Booms to bo no doubt , from the open symptoms of public opinion , that while many men of sober and conservative Judg ment arc opposed to anything beyond some small acquisitions for strategic purposes , yet a considerable majority of the people at large are entertaining a positive feeling In favor of annexing the entire archipelago. It seems quite probable , therefore , that this may bo finally our demand In tbe Paris con ference. These prospective events nro destined to arouse a deep Interest In the public mind for the next few months , holding all ordi nary Issues In subordination and possibly producing some Important changes In party policies. It Is to bo hoped that the occupa tion of the public mind with questions that appeal to fundamental principles of govern ment and to our highest national ambitions , may tavo an elevating effect upon the spirit of national politics and lead to higher con ceptions of our country's destiny and to loftier Ideas of the duties and responsibili ties of statesmanship. In the Introduction of these new elements Into tbe national spirit and life , however , I see nothing that IB calculated to create any distrusts or to retard the currents of trade or to place any check upon the great na tional revival that has set In through every department ot business. Indeed , the direct tendency of these new elements Is to stimu late national activity and confidence. Hitherto , the nation has been In a measure restrained by a sort of self-distrust arising from tbo fact that Its strength has not been fairly measured by foreign forces. The four months of hostilities with a European power lias revealed a resource which ranks us with the most potent powers and shows that wo have nothing to fear as to our ability to pro tect our Interests against whatever comes. This establishes a new basis of national confidence , affords a new guaranty of our national credit and adds to the value of all our forms of public securities. This view has not yet had Its full effect In the financial markets ; Its complete result Is likely to como through an increased foreign demand for our Investments. My weekly letter of April 23rd contained \tl \ following , which bears reprinting at this Itlmo owing to the accurate diagnosis of the ' .situation : ) "Tho temper In which Wall street has received the Intervention decree of congress 7 and the president's ultimatum to Spain con firms the views expressed In our recent ad- vlcca that the stock exchange had dis counted the worst probabilities In the Cuban situation and adjusted the values of Invest ments In advance to the outcome that has at last happened , With Ita rarely erring In stinct of forecast the financial community bas foieseen the end from the beginning o this long and tedious excitement , and now that the war has como It has no further adjustments to make no selling under the Impulse of now fears. The men of the ex change had made up their minds as to vvha amount of discount from tbe normal market value of securities a war with Spain callei for , and the remarkable steadiness of Wai street during the past week Is evidence of a fixed confidence In their conclusions. " Since tbe above was written tbe advance In rainy of the active securities dealt In at the exchange has been from 23 to 40 per cent , a shown by the following table : April 23 , Aug 25 , 1K9S 18ft.

The New York Financier says ; The statement of tbe associated banks of Now York City for the week ending August 27 shows a shrinkage In surplus reserve of nearly $7r,00,000 , bringing the excess1 cash down to $21,344,300 , a decrease of $41,000,000 since June 25 last. The statement Is about ns was anticipated , reflecting as It does the operations ot the banks ' with the treasury on bond account. An the settlement has not yet been com pleted and the flow of money from the In terior has practically ceased and should give place shortly to a movement In the opposite direction for crop purposes , there seems to be no doubt that money will harden temporarily. In fact Indications In this direction are now plentiful Uut whether nn advance will bo of long duration Is doubtful , The money locked up In the treas ury may be counted n reserve , since It can be made available through depository banks and the prospect of continued gold Imports presents itself the moment New York be comes a profitable field for Idle capital duo this country on balance. The Interior move ment has really begun and the small bal ance Mmt New York banks gained on ac count during the week came from nearby cities. One feature that la causing embar rassment Is the small supply of legal ten ders which the banks hold , their reserves consisting of nearly 75 per cent gold. Legals nro lower than since 1893 and the banks need all they hold This makes the shipment of gold to the interior Imperative and os the operation Is expensive It Is having a retarding effect. The Treasury department has been appeal ) d to by some advocating the resumption of gold certificates This has not met with encouragement , but relief has n promised In other ways , so that crop nonoy may begin to move rapidly from now. t Is a disputed question whether the west will need an much money as anticipated for his purpose. Until this Is definitely known ho money market will bo rather uncertain , although firmer In tone. The current state ment has been Influenced by the operations f a few large banks , ono Institution report- ng nearly the whole loss In deposits and ilmost half the loss In cash. The Stock 'Xchange ' transactions arc probably re- ponslble for ( ho loan expansion , but mer- antlle demands are n considerable factor. CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Tlio advance on the other side , where u de- cllno had been confidently looked for , was ho principal reuson foi higher prices ut ho opening here. Behind the Improvement nt Liverpool there was the still abiding cause of anxiety to short sellers for Sep tember In the existing scarcity of the Ttuln In commercial cnanneis. Compara- Ively heavy receipts In the northwest was the qualifying condition of affairs at the start that the bears took comfort from and irevented anything like panic among them 'roni the disturbingly small amount In Btore. The week's shipments of wheat and flour from both coasts was reported at 3.6CJ.475 bushels , compared with 3,988,000 lushels the previous week. Chicago receipts for the day were 181 cars against 190 the vear before Minneapolis and Duluth re- lorted 632 cars , compared with 395 the slml- ar day the year before. The total receipts at western primary markets was 7o3,000 bushels , compared with 1,132,000 bushels the year before. Atlantic ) ort clearances fur the day vvcro equal to 151,000 In wheat and flour. The domestic winter wheat receipts were again strlk- ngly smaller than those of the preceding year. September wheat opened at 637-Sc and kept steady between that price and ; 34c during the greater part of the session. December most of the time ktjit at 2c un der September. Firmness was the provall- ng feeling near the close , when prices were at their best for the day.

The buyers took about everything here , but It was a typical Saturday's mat Let vvltliout feature of general Interest. The tendency of the cattle mnikct has been lower this week and most- all kinds are selling under what they were a week ago. Good coru cattle arc about 10iil5e lower than they were last week and the half to two-thirds fat cattle aio anywhere from 15c to 20c lower. The range cattle are coming good and tire competition from them is bearing the market qn the common grades of corn cattle as must always happens at this season of the year. Good gruss cattle have sold well all the week though beef grades are a little lower than lust week , probably lOc on good kinds. The demand for cows und heifers has been good all the week and the market on that kind Is fully as good as It waa lost week. In fact. If there has been any change at all , it Is rather on the side of stronger prices , and a good many Dales- men report desirable kinds OH selling better than last week. The demand for good heavy feeding steers , weighing 1,000 to 1,100 pounds and of good quality is steadily Increasing and In spite of the decllnn on other kinds of cattle , they have held up well and are now selling Just as well us a week ago , The common kinds , perhaps mlgnt be quoted a little easier , In sympathy with the general lower tendency of values. The most Im portant change took place In connection with yearling stackers , which are slow sale at prices varying all the way from 30c to 50o lower than they were last week. The cause for the breulc was simply a large in crease In the receipts , which caused the supply to run way nhead of the demand , HOGS Light hogs sold at steady to strong pi'ccs this morning , that Is $3.72 % @ 3.75 largely , and heavy hogs were weak to 5c lower , the most of them going nt $3 G5@ 3 70. On good light and light mixed the market was active , the demand being more than equal to the offerings. Common light anil snippy stuff Is Blow sale , especially old and thin sows. Everything that would please the light hog buyers sold early and the pens were soon cleared of that kind. A packer offered $3 85 for a good light sort. The market on heavy hogs was a drag from start to finish. The receipts were the largest of the month for a Saturday , and buyers did not appear at all anxious about filling orders. In addition to the fresh re ceipts there were ten or a dozen loads that were carried over from yesterday. While the movement was slow the hogs kept mov ing toward the ocales , and In the end most everything was sold , but the close was weak on heavy hogs. The weak opened with a decided break In hog values , but the market recovered on Tuesday , when the average price reached $3 74. Monday proved to be the low day of the week , and on Wednesday values took a jump of about 7c , which carried the mar ket to the high point of the week. Dur ing the lust three days of the week the tendency was gradually lower , the average of the sales at the last being only a shade better than on the opening day of the vv eek. A feature of the week that shippers should not lose sight of Is the change of sentiment townrd tight hogs. For a good many weeks past heavy hogs have com manded n premium over light , but this week the situation has been reversed , and light hogs at the present writing are most In demand and command a premium over prime heavy. U Is good light , however , that is vv anted , and not skips. SHEEP Today's urnvals wuro light , only six cars being' reported In. two of them were lambs , three were sneep and one car of yoarllngs. The market did not show much change as compared with yesterday and was without * any especially new feature. The tendency of the market on mutton grades has been lowir thin week , the loss amounting to lOc. Some western sheep which sold ytstet-aaY brought $415 , as agnlnstngalnst $4t Oj | > Wednesday and $4 30 on Monday , but the difference In quality would account for. some of the loss in price , though they were all of the same outfit The demand , for mutton sheep and lambs Is good aithis point and the only trouble Is to get a regular supply of suf ficient proportion ! ! tq , keep the packers go -"K Feeding sheep Ami lambs continue In active demand txnq the supply la below the requirements of-VouId-be buyers The commission men all have orders to buy and everything that TTTTJVea Is snapped up Im mediately ValuypoWu fully na good as thty were a week ago.
