The closing was dull and rather heavy, with steel Industries and a few other specialties showing the only notable net changes. Bankers In timate that tlie demand for gold to ex port on account of the British war loan may amount to from ?10,O,O00 to $15,000. 000. The exchange market was nominal today, but posted rates were advanced of a cent. The stock market has remained In a befogged condition this week. Changes i do not show any new light on the mooted point of what the future level of prices for securities Is to be. TTncertolnty and waiting are the only deductions to be drawn from the fiat surface of the mar tot. Dealings are on a small scale, and buvers and sellers are apart. The re sulting dullness cannot be interpreted as hopeful for better conditions to come, but th" absence of liquidation must be ac cepted as confidence that the future will be no worse. In the absence of any de cisive development to affect the general tone of speculation, individual causes Jiave had free scope to affect the special stocks. "Whenever any special movement of this kind became pvident. the room traders rushed to join the movement. The result has been that one-half to one third of each day's business has been congested In from three to six stocks. The declaration of a 2 per cent dividend on I'nion Pacific was precipitated quite un expectedly, the general expectation being that action would be deferred until about the middle of the month. The ultimate policy of tho powers in China, the cobt of perfecting the task before them there, and by whom that cost is to be borne, are still among the mysteries. Opinion of tho future of the money mar ket haB wavered in tho light of the large sources for replenishment of the Now Tork market revealed. The r.tream of Alaska gold Is beginning to show Its sea sonable effects in the country's bank re serves, and the receipt of Australian gold Is added to this. Meantime, the expected outward movement of gold Is deferred, and the policy of the Bank of England loaves the period of Its beginning an open question. Time money has shown a dis tinctly easier tendency toward the latter p -t of the week. Dullness In bonds Is even more marked than in stocks, the average volume of dealings being considerably less than half those at this time last year. fnltfd States refunding 2s when issued have declined 1 per cent, and the 3s, old 4s and Cs per cent In the bid price on call. NEW TORK FINANCES. Unnta Now Hold Over $250,000,000 In Specie and Lesrals. NEW TORK. Aug. 4. The New Tork Financier says: A statement made by the clearing-house banks for tho week ending August 4 is open to the suspicion that It does not reflect accurately the real condition of the Institutions at the close of business Saturday. The known receipts from the Interior and the gains made by the banks from the Treasury Indicated an expan sion of more than $5,OO0,OM in cash hold ings, but the statement shows an Increase of 53,269,100. The banks now hold $252. 5C3.309 in specie and legals. which is with in SS.O00.OW or J9.000.000 of the maximum emount ever held, and at the rate they ore gaining, it would not be surprising to see former records closely paralleled. Jit the same time the movements in quo tations foreshadow a possible export of gold, and the crop movement will likely reduce New Tork totals very shortly. The receipts of cash and the Increase In loans swell the deposits, and the gain of $5.C40.500 in that Item necessitated an ndflltlon to tho legal reserve of at least $1,860,000. so that the excess cash reported is only J1.67S.903 larger than a week ago. The banks are adding rapidly to their circulation, possibly with a view to ship ments to the Interior later, and the ex pansion for the past six days was $1. SS"fl00. making the total circulation J2C. 645,700. This is a gain of 57.776.S03 since March 14. when the new financial law took effect, but the total is now less than 42U per cent of capital, as against 30 ner cent allowed by law. The bank statement shows the follow ing changes: Surplus reserve, increase JL60S.900 Loans, increase 2.596,203 Specie, increase 2.1SS.900 Xogal tender, increase LOS0.200 XeposltK. Increase 6,640.

At a time when so miny corporations in England are considering the question of tramway management, and especially tho all-important matter of fares, it Is In teresting to turn to the 'experience of Glasgow, which was the first as It Is still the foremost to embark on this form of municipal enterprise. Just six years ago that city took over the management of Its own system. On June SO, 1S34, the private company's lease expired; on July 1 the Corporation of Glasgow had on the streets a full service of new cars drawn " "": tuuncticu mu nc ci-m t way company, which Instituted a vigor ous but short-lived competition by om nibuses, the Corporation decided to Intro duce half-penny fares. The system was divided into half-mile sections, and so long as a person did not go beyond the station which marked the end of the sec tion, the fare was one halfpenny. Experi ence at once showed that the Corporation was right and its detractors were wrong. The halfpenny fares leaped Into popular ity. The business man found It conven ient, If he wished to make a call a few streets away, or to lunch at his favorite restaurant, to have a halfpenny worth of traction by one of the carriages and pair of which he was part owner. To the shopping lady the convenience was equal ly great. Thus It has come to pass that fully one-third cf the total number of passen gers travel for one halfpenny. The tram way company used to maintain that it was providing as full a service as the pub lic demanded. It carried slightly over 50,000.000 passengers rer annum; during the 12 months ended May 31 last the Corpora tion carried over practically the same mileage nearly 12S.000.OM passengers. The average distance which the Corporation carried Its clients Is as follows: Fare. MHes.lFare. d 582 d 1 d 17S2!d V.id 2.331': ji Miles. ...3.40 ...4.14 ...S.M Still the Corporation Is not satisfied. The tramway committee Is reconsidering the fares, with a view of devising a scheme by which the fare from any part of the municipal boundary to the center of the city, an average distance of 2 miles, shall be 1 penny. Do theso fares pay? The Glasgow Corporation has found that they do. The working expenses by horse haulage Is about Std per car mile run. A car filled with halfpenny passen gers (say SO) represents Is 3d per half mile. Of course, the actual revenue Is nothing like that, and the demand for halfpenny Journeys Is mostly In the cen ter of the city. As a matter of fact, the drawings average from lid to Is per mile; wherever on any route the Income goes above 1 shilling, the Corporation takes that as evidence that more cars are re quired, and accordingly puts on more, till the revenue Is reduced to its normal level. Tho difference between &i& and Is goes to pay for Interest, sinking fund and de preciation, and to make a contribution to the common-good fund, on the credit of which the Corporation added a year ago 53,000 to the reserve fund, which is ex pected to amount, when the accounts for the year Just closed are made up, to about 160.000. This fund is being strengthened to provide for possible loss In converting the system of traction to the electric trolley a process which Is being carried on with all possible speed. Electric traction on the experimental sec tion, which was opened about two years ago, has cost about Gd or 64d a mile. If that average is maintained over the whole system, the fares will be still further re duced. Much of the success of the Glas gow tramway undertaking Is due to the able management of Mr. John Young, who recently declined an offer of 15C0 a year to transfer his service to the London County Council. American Products In Siberia. Tho Novoe Vremya, the leading news paper of Russia, In a recent article, says: "This last "Winter has witnessed an enor mous Import of American products Into the Amur Province. These products are not fancy articles intended for the rich and well-to-do. but substantial articles made necessary by the demands of every day life. These products are, for exam ple, flour, iron and copper ware, house hold utensils, etc. They all come through tho free port of Vladlvostock and are then sent by rail to Chabarowsk and Bla gowotschonsk. They have already reached Stretensk, Tschlta and Irkutsk, the cen ter of Siberian trade. These products are handled in quantities and are sold with the skill known only to the American. "The railroads recently built, together with steamboat connections on the rlver3, have opened up great fields for material development In Siberia. As yet, but little capital has been invested in the building of mills and foundries in that part of the country. The lack of such industries has been very favorable to the introduction of American products. "Siberian merchants Are beginning to feel the pressure. Some are demanding the exclusion of American Imports. 'j.ne buyers of American products protest against any such action on the ground that In Siberia there Is an Industrial standstill, no enterprising spirit exists, and that prices are extremely high. Dur ing the time that we are quarreling about a tariff and the abolishment of the free port of "Vladlvostock. the Americans will have taken possesslonjsf the Siberian markets and erected factories and mills of all klndr. "We are now building a railway Into China, but tho chances are that the Americans will benefit more from the Chinese markets than the Rus sians. Such, therefore. Is the future ot Eastern Siberia, and the future of "West ern Siberia will not be very different-' America's Invasion. Consul-General J. G. Long.

Persons who expected friends by boat last evening gazed anxiously down the stream until 11 o'clock before the Al tona hove in sight, making 16 hours of a trip.

Robert Rlckmem Arrives From tko Orient Scarcity of Sailors Marine Notes. For nearly a month, right In the season when the liveliest chartering is generally In evidence, there has not been a sin gle grain ship reported for Portland load ing. There is a fair amount under e& gagement for early loading, but as the wheat is on the docks for nearly all of the early ships, there is but a moderate amount left for new crop wheat. Ex porters have gained wisdom by the past, and have ceased paying high rates for ships, and -placing themselves In a posi tion to be compelled to load them with high-priced wheat.

During the week, two different ship owners have refused 43s 9d for December ships, one of them coming back with an offer to charter a 45s, while the other wanted 47s 6d. The situation Is a very strong one sta tistically, and, with nitrate freights still holding up around record figures, there does not seem to be much relief In the near future. Nitrate freights have now reached a point where they are sufficient ly attractive to Induce shipowners to make a slight concession on lumber rates from Northern points to ports on the West Coast where nitrate charters are obtainable. For other points the rates on lumber are about as firmly held as those on grain. Nominal lumber freights, as re ported by San Francisco brokers, for loading at Northern ports are as follows: Svdnev. 52s 6d: Melbourne or Adelaide, 60s; Port Plrie, 57s 6d!gG0s; Fremantle, 70s; Gcraldton, 71s 3d; West Coast. 62s 6d63s j 9d.

Deep-Water Ships Experience Great Delay in Securing: Crews. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 4. Five deep water ships are lying In the stream un able to secure crews. They are the Brit ish ships Thalatta, Largo Law, Many down and M. E. Watson, and the Chilean bark Tosemlte. Within a month there will be at least 20 vessels ready for sea, all or nearly all -wanting full crews. The scarcity of men is not confined to this port, but extends all along the Coast, (As yet there has been no delay to shipping In Portland on account of failure to secure sailors, although some pretty stiff charges have been made for secur ing men. Grafting shipmasters, unable to secure a "rake-off" on sailors, a few months ago upset the most satisfactory arrangement that the port has ever had for supplying ships with sailors, by forc- lng a combination of the Astoria and Portland boardlng-hBuse men. The busi ness Is now supporting two gangs of men, where there should be but one. Sailors, like harvest hands, railroad laborera or any other class of men, are so scarce at the present time that it requires con siderable rustling to pick up a crew. There are some pretty good rustlers en- l gaged In the business in Portland, how ever, and but little delay is expected m getting ships away; but there are numer ous complaints already at the rates de manded by the boarding-house men. Some of the ships are receiving nearly double the freight received a few years ago, but owners object to paying any more for sailors.) GRAIN FLEET COMING. ,' Cednrbanlc and Bovrmnn B.
