New York. . Feb. 14. Two favor able influences, each with a bearing on the general situation, made their appearance over the double holiday and were reflected in today's finan cial markets. One was the stronger position shown by the New York Associated banks, the New York Federal Reserve hank and the- re serve system as a whols; the otheo was an advance in sterling excliSnge on the European market, while New York kept holiday. Neither caused any particular response to the money markets, which, both here and at London, beaan the present week much as they closed on Friday; the rate for call loans in Wall Street continuing at 7 per cent in the stock exchange with transactions at 6 out side. . . . They were notJmmediately reriectea m the stock niark. where the dBy's bual nesa was again entirely dominated by the restless ahifting of position-by professional speculators. Some stocks, both industrial and railway, were weak at the opening under sales from that quarter, hut the altitude of the speculators was reversed bv affllation with some sharp consequent recoveries in the mora speculative stocks. Fnil to Stimulate Market, An n ti pin nt waa made to stimulate the market through reports, which were noth ing hut conjecture, that the burdensome holdings of cotton and sugar would be financed by sale of debentures to the pub- after the plan ot last ween s copper trade operation. Nobody took the atones seriously: there Is no analogy whatever between the position In those trades and in the Conner industry, except that a large unsold supply has in all three cases beea overha nging. In the case of copper, a group of strong producing corporations guarantees tho new securities. In the case of cotton, there are only the farmers and their banks: a situation which, even with the plan formulated In 1914 for relief of the cotton trade with cotton at six cents in the war panic, resulted under the prescrib ed conditions in the actual lending of only $28,000 out of $135,000,000 condition ally pledged. Cotton will find lis own way out of tho present trade dllomma, as 4t did after- 1914. Todav's cansus bureau f gures on the January consumption indicated how that may happen:1 for while exports de creased substantially from the December total, the purchases by home spinners in creased 71.400 bales, the first interrup tion since last June to contraction In the honid demand. Exchangee Advances. Both stcrljng and French exchange had advanced In the London market above Friday's New York closings hefore to day's Wall street exchangee market re opened. A further rise during the day carried sterling to S3. 89. The highest previous, rate In 1921 was the $3.89, of January 27. and today's quotation had not been reached by the market for exchange on London since the loth t last July, when the reparations conference was In session at Spa. Tho long" decline which followed had other causes than the failure of the European premiers to fix a work able plan for the (lerman payments, and the present recovery has other causes than expectation of practicable settlement in the coming London conference. Neverthe less In the background the chances for or against that settlement are always the paramount consideration of the Interna tional market. On the whole, the weekly federal re serve statements indicate defintte prog ress in the direction of easier money. Tho change is very gradual, however. Last week's increase of 1 1-3 per cent in tho reserve percentage of the New York Fed eral bank 1a a considerable gain; ic orings: the ratio, for the first time in 1921 above that of a year hzo: but the :199s per cent reported Is still below the best January percentage which was 40. More un mistakable as reflecting tho general trend la the further rise of the average reserve ratio for the entire system. At the end of last week, It stood at 49 per cent, the hlehest in 16 months, comparing with 49 1-3 a week beToio and 45H at the end of December. Kvery successive weeu alnee December 23 hns advanced this per centage, whereas it declined oontiivhoualy after the middle of January, 1920. Rediscount Reduction. Last week's reduction In total redis counts mark a total reduction of $421. 000.000 since November 5, while th further curtailment of outstanding noto circulation brings that portion of our cur rency $354,000 below the high mark of Christmas week. During the correspond ing period a year ago, tho reduction was only $98,000,000. , , The week end statement of "British Cur rency Notes" show's the same tendency to reduction of outstanding currency as in visible In this country: a steady reduction since the closing weeks of December has In seven weeks Drought down tne total 29,000,000 pounds, or S per cent. This waa not much greater, however, than tho reduction which occurred in the same weeks a year aco. and last year a move ment of expansion hegnn again at the end of February, carrying the outstanding paper to a new high level. But the same thintf happened in 1920 with our own rederoi reserve note circulation, a fact which will lend considerable interest to the movement of the two currencies during the next few weeks.

Cash Wheat Firm. Cash wheat values failed to follow the advance in futures. Premiums here were firm, while at Minneapolis they dropped 2c to 3c. Kansas City advanced sharplv early and lost the greater part at the last. Country offerings southwest were larger, which will enable exporters to fill sales already made.. No fresh export business waa reported at the seaboard while Hol land and Belgium bought freely of Ar gentine wheat at prices that allow for a heavy super tax. While business In wheat was flat, flour was good with 78,000 bar rels sold for early shipment. Visible stocks decreased 2,903.000 bushels against S. 022, 000 bushels last year, the total being less-than one month's consumption or 29. 562.000 bushels compared with 55. 205,000 bushels last year. Local stocks decreased 50,000 bushels for the week and are 700, Olio bushels. Export buying of cash corn was the lartrest of tho Benson with 1.600. 000 bushels sold in all positions tho past three days. Omaha sold 100,000 bushels. Buying against cash sales absorbed the surplus early and eastern and local covering later found offerings moderate. Prices ad vanced about 2e for futures and cash lots werp up 1c to 3c, The advance was In the face of an Increase of 4,007.000 bushels against 608.000 bushels last year. Local stoeks Increased 2,012.000 bushels, being 11,158.000 bushels last year. Arrivals were 490 cara. (short Buy Oats.

The advance In other grains had a good effest. Stocks are Increasing with 250.000 bushels gain in the visible., which is 34. 016.000 bushels against 19,800,000 bushels last year. Chicago stocks decreased 88.000 bushels for the week and are 1 1,818,000 bushels. Germany was after oats, but no sales were reported. Arrivals were 99 cars. Rye had good support and closed at the top. Offerings were light. Visible stocks increased 298,000' bushels. Pit Notes. There Is a disposition in certain quar ters to buy grain because this Is the sea son for traders to accumulate holdings. Prices have had a good advance, and the market's action tije last week has shown that a larger short Interest existed than the trade in general recognizor). There has been some increase In professional buy ing and a number covered through fold ings of "offers" at the close today. This cut down the short interest, and a point made at the close today was will sufti clent outside buying come In to keep prices at the upgrade for a few days more." In this regard the trade was dl- vlded in opinion. Those who are friendly to the con structive side of wheat think that May delivery holds out mora delivery than the March. Holders of March ha.ve taken ad vantage of all bulges to reduce their lines. Referring to the economic conditions a commission man says: "We have always noticed that wo never heard anything about them except in periods cf extreme depression. If they are so extremely in fluential some days, we cannot under stand why they are completely powerless and harmless on other days. We aye no ivbpeu lor mac Kiim oi laiK. Visible Supply Increase. An increase of nearly 14,600.000 hush- els have been made in the visible supply of corn in the past three weeks. It Is 24.373.000 bushels, an Increase of 20.201.- 000 bushels over last year. This In crease has occurred during an advance of over 7 centw a bushel. HI Baldwin, a Decatur. III., cash grain nois has been retarded 60 per cnt by bad qols has been retarted 60 per cent by batj country roads and 40 per cent by un satisfactory prices.

Referring to the sale of 78.000 barrels of flour at New York, equivalent to 361, 000 bushels of wheat, Russells said that the volume of business would be large as there are export inquiries from Europe, but the mills are unable to offer terms suitable to sellers. A Chicago miller paid $2 for No. 2 red wheat today to arrive. Nothing of special Importance was hearl -)bout the green bugs today.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire. New York, Feb. 14. The New York cotton trade evidently found conflicting Influence in today's early news. The opening was 14 to 26 points lower, owing to the continued weakness of Liverpool and reports of depression in Manchester. After selling, off to 13.30c on the call, March soon rallied to 13.53.cr- while May advanced from 13.82 to 18.95c. or within a few points of last '(' closing quo tations. The census report, showing domes tic mill consumption a shade over the forecast, probably heled the early rally to some extent.' The market was very quiet later In the morning and held generally steady. May contracts sold up to 14.01c, or 4 points above last night's closing quotations and other months showed slight gains late in the morning, but the advances were not fully sustained. No fresh feature developed during the afternoon and trading remained very quiet, with May selling around 13.90c, or about 5 to 9 points, net lower on the general list. Dry Goods. New York. Feb. 14.
