Wall Street Rovlew, New York, Sept. 0. Stocks showed some evidence of firmness In the first hour of tho trading and up to tin time of tho publication of the bank t,tn le nient. The movement in rnllroud stocks wns exceedingly narrow and I ho late selling movement, though not very pressing, was sufficient to bring the general level of prices below those of Inst night. Teiin. Coal confounded the bears ngnln by soaring nn additional seven points umvnrd nnd after react ing 3V4 recovered to within 2 points ot tho top. Colorado Fuel continued to show close sympathy and was up over four points before tho late reaction. Add to theso a continued large de mand for Manhattan nnd strength In Metropolitan nnd Brooklyn Transit and good gains In International paner nnd Lnrkawanna nnd tho points of extra ordlnnry strength In the mnrkct nre nbout exhausted. The London ex chnngo was closed for a house cleaning and the recent depression from thnt source wns lacking. Paris was look ed to for n reflection of foreign senti ment and the view there seemed to be a cheerful one. In view of the p-s-slmletic forecasts that have been heard nil week regarding the uank statement, the bear: had a feeling early In tho session that a poor state ment had been more than expected nnd were Inclined to cover. But the state ment showed a loss In ensh quite $2.- 000,000 In excess of the most unfavor able previous estimates. The compar ison is tho nverago total of cash for six days with the average for the pie cedlng six business days. As the to tals had been on a descending scale, the average understates the nctunl to tal. The contraction of $0,010,700 in loans reduced the reserve requirement by about $1,500,000. Otherwise tho over surplus above the legal requirements would have been below a million. It is believed the treasury would consent to leave on deposit with Now York banks tho payments for the taxes next week, but this would only partly relievo the drain, as tho demand from the south will continue, and no Increase In cash resources would result from the meas ure itself. It is evident, therefore, that the process of loan contraction W to continue for the Immediate future. Totul sules of stocks, 23S.800 shares. Quotations furnished by J. A.
