Money Abundant for All Purposes More of It Wanted. and While money was easy during the week, there was a better demand for It than for merly and several of the banks added ma terially to their loans. The demand was largely from the commercial and manu facturing interests, speculators not being In It to any great extent. Interest rates, which seldom change in Pittsburg, were steady on the basis of 8KQ7 per oent, according to time to run. Currency was abundant all week and exchange dlffloult to get.

Market "Weak In Spots, but the General Trend Upward Gains and Losses Ne gotiations for the Removal of Street Railway Friction Electric Reorganiza tion. While there was no pronounced sentiment for good or bad in the local stock market yesterday, there was a notable absence of buoyancy and a weak undertone. Specula- L tion was confined to a few traders and active bnll operators were invisible. They were absent in body as well as spirit. Sales for the week wero less than LOOO shares. The event or the week was the sale by Commo dore Kountz or 5,C0d shares or Manchester Traction nt 38 and the settlement of the suits which have long blocked the way to the reorganization or the company. While, as stated, weakness characterized the market yesterday, the tone or prices ror the week was upward, as final quotations, compared with those of tho previous Satur day, show.

Lawrence & Co., in their weekly let ter reviowing local financial affairs, say: "Street railway securities have occupied the attention of speculators and investors -the tins t week, and the bright vonnemen of j-the press have been occupied in presenting nix suns oi pussiuiu unu lmpussiuio comoma tions of the various lines. The public has given more attention to tho latter than to tho market, because it was thought that the new traction law signed by the Governor early in the week had in view some gigantio consolidations. Wo have been assured that, although passed in tho guise of a general law, tho bill was really intended" to cover the Manchester Traction case. "Theamicable settlement of all difference in this company will render unnecessary the oxercise of tho power granted by the new law. Tho only combination that would be of mutual benefit to stockholders at present would include the Manchester nnd Pleasant Valley lines. These two have a practical monopoly of the Xorthside traffic, which is increasing ns rapidly as that in Pittsburg. To illustrato this increase it maybe said that in 1887 the Allegheny Citv lines carried 7,SO0,O0O passengers and last year they carried 11,000,000. During the present year all tho lines on that sido of tho river will bo equipped forrapid transit, and by the end of another 12 months, they will be carrying 15,000,000 passengers annually. "The warfare between the Pittsburg and Duequsne Tractions has weakened the stock of tho latter; but we have excellent grounds for the statement that negotiations have al ready been entered into for a speedy adjust ment of the differences.and the prospects for completo harmony in the street railway sit uation wore never brighter. The weakness and further decline iu Central Traction to 17 is inexplicable. We bellove tho stock is selling below its intrinsic value. "There has been nothing doing in Phila delphia Company or Westlnghouso Electric. Of the latter it is currently reported that 82,000 shares have assented to the plan of re organization, which seems to assure its success. "There is ono point outside the stock mar ket, but having an inllucnco thereon, to which we would refer, viz: Iron men tell us that there has been a decided Improvement in tho trade within the past few days. If sustained, it will -have a good effoetupon general business, which in turn will bo felt in stocks. We boliove tho turn in the mar ket will come before the semi-annual settle ment period, and from that time on the im provement will be stoady."

SHARES MOBE ACTIVE AND STKONG THAXTOIt SEVERAL DAYS. Gold Shipments Flayed Oat A Fine Rank Statement Has a Good Effect on tho Blarkct Grangers and Industrials the Leaders Bonds Active. New Yobk, Juno 13. The stock market to day displayed moro activity and strength during the two hours of business than at any provious time during trie week; and prices nt the close were generally at the highest points since tho close of last week. The sen timent that the drain or gold or the country has entirely ended, at least ror the present, hascreate'da moro confident feeling. The expectation that tho bank statement should shown material increase in the surplus re serve was not disappointed, and a gain of over $3,000,000 puts that item at over $10, 000,000. Tho dealings in tho market, however, pre sented no marked change from those of tho previous days of this week, and were still confined principally to the Grangers, Indus trials and a few other stocks which have an international market, though tho foreign operations were insignificant. Tho detnnnd from tho shorts was sufficient to make a rather sharp upward movement in the first hour. Union Pacific leading tho advance, but followed closelv by St. Paul, Burlington, Rock Island and Pacific Mail Tho general list also developed some special features, and .Jersey Central, Evnnsvillo and Terre Haute and ono or two others mado sharp gains on small transactions. While there was no further material up ward movement, the best prices were well held, and tho closo was made at the highest figures, though quiet. Tho final changes show gains along the line of large frac tions, and Jersey Central and Union Paciflo are up 1 per cent, and Pacific Mail 1 per cent. Bailroad bonds were comparatively activo and retained the firm tone developed yes terday, with a revival or interest in the Atchison incomes, thongh there was, as usual, no material changes in quotations es tablished among the active issues. The trading for the two hours reached $310,000, which was well and widely distributed. The Closo at New York.

John M. Oakley & Co. rurnlsh the follow ing budget received over thoir special wire: "The general speculative situation this morning was moro nearly free from spot or blemish than it has been for months. Money is easier here, though it cannot be said to be in exactly the right condition on accountof the necessary withdrawals beginning a couple months henco. In London it is re ported to bo a drug and this Is not at all sur prising, for by heroic efforts the English banks have arbitrarily attracted to that center money that naturally would not have found its way there at this season and on ac count of the general liquidation progressing In that country the requirements for money aside from the precaution of bankers in fortifj ing themselves to an nnusual degree must bo less than at the corresponding penou oi recent years. "There is one lact known to every person familiar with the history of panics which has direct bearing upon the present situa tion, and that is that the inevitable accum ulation of monoy offering nt low rates after every period ot financial disturbance. The panic, for such it has been, in England and to a smaller extent on the continent, is none the less a panic because it has been spread over a number of months. Had it not been for the promnt and energetic action of the Governors of tho Bank ol England the crisis would have been acute as it was in 1886, at which time the management of the Bank of England was in relatively Weak hands. "The liquidation which has been in prog ress for eight or ten months on the other side has not yet terminated, and probably will not do so until after flic autumn is passed, but there is no panic in tho air there or here, and there will be none. The tem porary effect of European disturbances, coupled with the short crops of last year, and the influence of tho Mckinley tarlfl bill and silver legislation, have kept us in r. stato of nervous tension for a year past. We will emerge from these conditions occupying a most unique and independent position among the nations of the wor4d, as having within ourselves tho most tplendld indus trial, commercial, agricultural and financial conditions to be found in combination any where in the world. We have no infla tion In real estate, or business, or WaU street. Tho price of cotton is low and there is no room for a big fall, the price of iron is low nnd no room for a big fall, tho stato of trade is qui escent, and no room for a big collapse, prices of stocks and bonds in Wall street, indued byprevious speculative standards, are not inflated, and there is no room for any im- Eortant decline. For several years therj as been no speculative fever raging in this country, though it is not certain now but what such excitement is in store for us. We can hardly imagine conditions moro likely to promote great activity some time within the coming year. "It may take themarketalittle while to get under bull way, and the conservative feeling of larger operators lnay be sufficient to cause them to withhold their entire participation until wo havo passed. through the brunt of tho autumn drain from the interiorbut they will come into the innrket as sure as fate, for the conditions are as nearly ideal as they probably ever will be. And there fore, 'we repeat what wo have been saying nflr and nn ilnrini? the oast three months. thafwhetberthe bull market comes right away in the autumn or next winter, come it will, or else out judgment is not worth a larthing. "We advise our people to be cautious and to feel their way along, for we realize that those who see fit to follow us out but a very small number figure In the total of specula tion and it is never wise to get too far ahead of the crowd. "The market was strong throughout the day, but was apparently not benefited by the bank statement. The probability and bull sentiment and buying orders will accu mulate over Sunday, and that the market will be higher." The Outlook Much Brighter. Henry Clews ft Co. see a silver lining to the financial cloud. They say: "Events during the week were mostly of a favorable rha-nrJer The situation abroad, which hns been the chief source 'of anxiety, shows further satisfactory Improvement. The best evidence of this was the decline in gold ship ments and theTiso In the Bank bf.England1 proportion of reserve to liabilities from 44 33 per cent to 4C.0S per cent in a week. On May 7, orllttioover a month ago, the ratio was down to 33.35 per cent; so that it can be seen how successful this institution has been in strengthening It' reserves. Tho bank now holds aboiit 5,000,000 gold more than at this time in 1890, and is in a much better position to meet all probable demands than was thought possible a few weeks ago. What ever sums may be withdrawn by Russia, they will shortly be disbursed again in debt payments. "The favorable progress of the -Baring liquidation also exerted a- good effect: and, altogether, the outlook at the world's finan cial center is certainly much brighter than In March or April. Paris nnd Berlin aro still in somewhat straitened circumstances, but less tension is naturally reported there as a result of Improvement in London. "It is upon the homo situation, however, that we chiefly depend regarding the fntnre. Europe may, if sho wishes,, temporarily les sen her holdings of America stocks, but their superior intrinsic value, in comparison with other investments, is certain to assert itself and Tcstore them into preference again. If Americans are the best seenrities on which to realize in times of depression, they must necessarily be the best to "buy when the change for the better sets in. The all-Important factor in determining future values of stocks is the crop situation. Hap pily, this is in our favor, as frequently pointed out, and as the season advances evi dences of improvement seem to multiply The certainty of an nbundant harvest at homo and a deficient ono abroad Increases each day. "Money continues easy, and promises to so continue until the crop movement; the present quietness of trade tending to in crease supplies. More attention has been given to Secretary Foster's action in extend ing the KP"r cent bonds than the question deserves. I do not bellove he will attempt any step that means contraction of the cur rency. Ior that would be less popular than success in extending theso bonds at 1" per cent. Everyone understands, also,thaisuch a low rate of Interest is possible only because of the advantages of holding these bonds, other than their safety and the high credit of the Government. Western banks, who hold tho bulk of outstanding 4s, may be willing to accept a lower rate of Interest than Eastern banks, tho higher money rates of the West Tendering circulation more profitable in that section than here; but, as just said, moreimportancohasbeenattached to this element-than it deserves. The Treas ury is, upon Secretary Foster's statements, able to meet all obligations, and the mone tary outlook is clear until the fall. "We do not look for any radical or imme diate change? in the stock market, but the present position of affairs certainly Justifies our having a more hopeful opinion regarding the future; and good stocks at present price s ought to yield a profit to buyers with reason able expectations."

CROP NEWS TOO GOOD. "Wheat OpensWell on 'Change, but Suffers a Sharp Fall After tho First Hour A Subsequent Partial Recovery Corn, Oats and Provisions Sympathize. - CHICAGO For the first few minutes after the, opening to-day the leading markets, gave every indication of strength. There was good buying and considerable activity; and a quick advance was mado in all tho pits. But after the first half hour tho buying slackened, confidence became im paired, early purchasers began to sellout, and there was a sharp drop all along the line. Cables were easier: fine crop weather was reported both in this country and in Europe. BradstrceCs reported tho exports from both coasts for the freek at 2,101,000 bnsheK and M.178,000 bushels since July 1, against 102.000, 000 bushels for the same time in IKK). The same authority reported tho decrease in tho available supplv dnring May at 7,969,000 bushels, agninst 7,300,000 bushels as the aver age in May for the past throe yeirs. July wheat opened at 95J3052o against 96o at the closo yesterday. There were large bnying orders irom Xew York, and the execution of -these caused a, quick advance to 9c, which proved to be the top figure of the day. Private cables seemed weaker than the public advices, and this, with magnificent crop weather,-gradually developed a bear feeling, accompanied by short selling and the sacrifices of long property, and after holding for a time in the neighborhood of 95ig95e thero was a slump to95c A re covery to Oljfc took placo before the close, with an easy tone nt tho fln.'-h. Corn started off u. little lower, with July 5555!4"c but the buying was very short, and there was hordly any business nntil the price rose to B5Kc, which was paid in less than five minutes after the opening, and it soon touched 55c; but at this point it came to a halt, xno seinng uccame aggressive. Fine growing weather, large estimated re ceipts for Monday, and 'advices of heavy loadings at primary points, increased the feeling of weakness, and the prico dropped 'off to Mc.bht rallied to 51 at tho close. The market in oats was still controlled by the fluctuations in corn. Starting at 40jjc for Julv, thero wasnn advance to llc, a drop to 39o and a rally to 39c. Provisions shared in the early strength, and also partook of the subscque t weak ness. September cork opened unchanged nt $10 37f, advanced to $10 45, receded to $10 27K al,d closed nt $10 30, a loss compared with yesterday's close of 7c. Lard was stronger, opening at an advance of 2e, rising 3c more; reacting 7Jc, and closing at an advance of- 5c.
