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 :

NEW YORK , Aug , 28. 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.

Wet weather In England and reports of
failure of the wheat crop In one of the
grain producing provinces of Russia were
; lven us reasons for the Liverpool quota-
lens of wheat showing ad advance of from
! -8d for September to 5-Sd for December.
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. September

on the last few trades. September opened
&c higher at 637-8c , declined to 63'4c , rose

started i'4V4c up at Gl 5-8 61 7-Sc , sold off
to eiVfciftCl 6-8c , llrmed up to 01 7-Sc and left
oft at 61 6-8c buyers. The mood In corn was
somewhat bullish on claims from Kansas
of poor yields because of hot weather.
Speculation waa dull and traders appar
ently were inclined to leave deals opeh tor

September opened unchanged to l-8c lower

business In yarns at about 1-lCd lower.
Rouen reports a dull market , but with

CATTLE There vvus not enough cuttle
heru to make a market and the tradu was
very Slow und generally lower. 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
