NOT READY FOR WAR
Foreign Markets Had Not
Prepared Adequately.
TROUBLED-
PAST WEEK
Collapse i IrT Russian Bonds Involved
Forced Liquidation of American
Securities, for Which There
Is a Readier Market.
NEW YORK. Feb. 27. Today's stock mar
ket was almost Idle and the drift of prices
was listlesa -In the extreme and totally In
significant. Yesterday's setback to the rally
which occurred on Thursday discouraged the
traders from attempting to move prices, and
today's trading Indicated that the market Is
awaiting some new development "to give an
Initiative to prices. The fact that another
decision day of the Supreme Court Is im
minent, with a decision In the Northern' Se
curities case possibly to be "handed down,
aggravated the dullness.
The beginning of the Paris stock market
settlement is another motive for a waiting
attitude In the securities market. The Lon
don market was practically stagnant In re
sponse to this Influence. Pennsylvania's re
f ponfe to' the annual report was an advance
of and Reading closed unchanged. In spite
of the heavy decrease In the net earnings
for January. The bank statement revealed
a larger gain In cash than Indicated by the
preliminary estimates, but speculative senti
ment would be more encouraged were there
evidence of a more active use of money In
business. The decrease In loans was net
clearly explained, unless by a report that
some of -the Clearlng-House Banks have Inti
mated to trust companies their disinclination
to carry heavy deposits at 2 per cent. The
market closed almost stagnant, but easy and
at small lorees. Total sales of bonds, par
value, $110,000.
The tone of the stock market during the
week has been hesitating and , irregular,
Thursday's, sharp recovery serving to bring
prices back almost exactly to where they
left off Saturday last. Conditions affecting
values have not perceptibly changed, the In
fluences which have depressed prices remain
ing in force. The market, however, has
shown signs of being oversold, and the day--to-day
traders have been keenly alive to
the signs that the decline In prices had
reached a point sufficient to offset the - con
ditions which brought It about. The bor
rowing demand for stocks on the Stock Ex
change showed the building up of a con
siderable short Interest where demand to
cover contracts might be relied upon to
effect a rally In prices whenever conclusive
evidence should appear that the genuine sell
ing had decreased co far as to promise no
hope for a 'further decline.
The foreign situation has had a dominating
Influence upon the domestic stock market,
and the troubled markets have kept alive the
depression here,. It Is clear that the for
eign stock markets "had not prepared them
selves adequately for the outbreak of hos
tilities between Russia and Japan, the Con
tinental bourses especially showing that strong
hope vas felt, up to the outbreak of hos
tilities, that a peaceful outcome would be
secured. The violent decline In the Russian
Industrial and government securities, which
are held In a great volume by France and
Germany, involved heavy losses and forced
liquidation In other securities for which there
was a readier market. Conspicuous In this
class are American securities and the amount
cf these which have come home to be sold
only refuted the contention that foreign mar
kets had been stripped- dT American secur
ities during the boom of the lost few years.
The week's failures In foreign banking cir
cle and the money requirements to be met
have affected the local market for exchange
and have helped to llf, t toward the. gold
cxpo-t point. Rumors, have'boen current that
the Russian government was preparing to
draw down its heavy balances with some
of the great banks of Western Europe. The
dread of entanglement of other powers in the
Far Eastern quarter o: in the Balkans has
been an additional disturbing clement In all
cf the world's markets, and has been an im
portant influence on the wheat market.
The nervous condition of our stock market
Tuesday, while the Supreme Court was In
sea.-. on, and the possibility that a decision
In the Northern Securities case was hanging
ever the market, was a proof of the unsettling
Influence which the market still has and
the likelihood of recurring nervousness on
ea h decision day of tho court until the case
is Anally disposed of. It is evident that tho
decision, when handed down, whatever It may
be will relieve the market from one repres
sive influence.
The declining tendenoy of railroad earnings
has continued and the stock market Is In
clined to wait for better weather conditions
far proof of the contention that enow bloek
a3es and extrome cold weather are responsible
for ali the decreases. The progress of tho
war over grain rates, both on Western lines
and on the trunk lines, causes anxiety over
future traflic The bitterness of the competitl
U:n for future contracts throws omo doubts
upon the claims of railroad officials of con
fidence In the maintenance of the volume of
traffic.
The market Is considering the necessity of
an adjustment also to a possible great strike
In the soft coal regions owing to the radical
difference disclosed In the claims of the min
ers for an Increase In wages and the opera
tors for the necessity of a reduction.
Honey on call Is extremely easy, largely
owing to tho almost stagnant stock specula
tion, but offerings of time loans have been
lees abundant. The languid demand for
money outside of corporation and railroad
borrowing and the tailing off In the vol
ume of bank clearings are regarded with
ymc misgivings as poselblo Indications of de-
eased business activity.
The prospect of delay In the settlement of
the Panama canal payments will disarrange
1 "jns already"' effected for an early com
Ilrtion of that operation, but has causedno
fear of embarrassment thus far.
The continued lack of moisture In the
6ci::hweetern wheat belt has been a subject
cf attention, but without appreciable effect
thus far en prices of stocks.
Tho bond market has been dull and Ir
regular. In sympathy with stocks. United
States bonds were unchanged on call.
'EW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
fnexpectcd Gain In Cnhh Is Shown by Of
ficial Statement.
NEW YORK. Feb. 27. The Financier says:
Ore festur of the official statement of the
New York Associated Banks last week was
tfc gain of $4,427,3KK) In cash, an amount
$73 GOO greater than that which was estl-ra;-d
from the traceable movements of
r-.jney during th? week and tho total hold
it are now the highest ever reported. An
other feature was the high record toz. specie
r :dings by the banks, these being over
51 000.000 larger than the highest previous
ar.-.-'unt, which was J105.S90.400 on Febru
a:j 9, 1801; still another feature was the
new high record for the year in surplus
reserve.
The discrepancy between the increase In
cash, as officially reported and that which
was estimated, -was probably due to the
aerag- for one day of a transfer hitherto
cf $023,000 sold from San Francisco on Fri
day and also to a return of some of the
xncney which was sent to Baltimore a fort
r'.ght ago, which return movement was un
corded In the estimates. The deposits
were decreased by the comparatively small
sum of ?103.200 and the required reserve
was thereby reduced by $26,300; this amount,
added to the Increase In cash, made $4,C -COO
as the sain In surplus reserve, to 'lie'.
150 200. Computed upon the basis of depos
its less those of $3S.7tn.tK0 public funds,
the surplus is f41.S40.C75. It is noteworthy
that the Government deposits Increased dur
ing the week by $704,400. making $l.S6S.Uoa
since the first week In February, reflecting
the concentration in the specially designated
cposiianes ai isow xorK or deposits which
riave already been withdrawn fmm -...
Institutions in anticipation of the call for the
eurrenaor oi per cent, or the public funds.
Loans decreased S4.228.700 lut ir.u m-i.
Ing a reduction ot JO.SCO.SOO In the fort
night. Indicating the light inquiry rorstoclc
exchange requirements 'and the 'partial sat-
Isfaction of the demand .irom syndlertiiand
corporation borrowers. The circulation" de
creased $332,200. Thef'staienlent showed a
good proof, the sum of the decrease, .in, loans
and In deposits being $282,400 Jess- than the
increase in cash.
The dally average of clearings for the five
days was $178,000,000, or the same aa"for the
six days of the previous week; the clearings
on Saturday, reflecting Friday's business,'
were $170.S53,Q17. or below the average when
the statement was made upon rising aver
ages for cash and. therefore, this week's re
turn should show an Increase In this Item,.
But with the inquiry for loans, smelly as It
is now and is likely to be'jn the near future
increases in cash tend to Intensify the mone
tary congestion. Comparisons of changes In
loans show that six banks reduced this Item
by $2,300,000 net; the cash In eight banks
increased by $3,900,000 net.
The statement of average of the Clearing
House banks of this city for the five days
of this week shows;
Decrease.

BREAK AT CHICAGO-COMES JUST
BEFORE THE CLOSE.
Heavy Selling by Armour Sends
Prices Dovn Near the. Dollar Mark
Other Products, Lower.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27. The bis slump, In wheat
came shortly before the -close- The opening,
was weak on lower cables, both EaglUa-and
Continental markets showing losses. May was
c lower to jc higher, at $l.O40LO5t and
July was off 6c, at O509Cc During the
first few minutes of trading the leading long
Interest was an open seller of the May deliv
ery. Local professionals also took the selling
side. In consequence.- May declined' to $1.04,
but the July option. held comparatively steady
around 96c, after touching 96c early In . th
trading. A noticeable feature In the early
situation was the absence of any Influential
buying. The seemlnr reason was that most
of the large- traders were- -disposed 'to await,
developments over Sunday.
As the session was n earing the close there
was a sudden break on spectacular selling
In May. The heavy orders were generally
supposed to be for the account' of tha prlaclpal
Iong. The general selling movement thus eud-v
denly inaugurated resulted quickly In a severe
slump In the price of the May option. From
around $L03, May declined to $1.01. Many
stop-loss orders came out, accelerating the de-
cllne. On &. partial cesiallon of the selling, a
large portion of tha loss was recovered within
the last few minutes of trading. Closing fig
ures on, May showed a net loss for the clay of
lc, at $1.03X- July was down c. at 00c
Lower cables- and weakness in wheat caused
an easier feeling In corn. May closed c
lower, at 5Gc July closed a shade lower, at
M055c, '
The feature In oats was the comparative
strength of the market In the face of the
weakness In wheat. May closed c lower, at
45c July- closed c lower, at 41c
In provisions trading centered in pork. Lo-
cal packers, were the principal, buyers. There
was liberal llquldaUon of May pork late In
the session. .May pork -closed at a loss of 27c,
lard was off 7c. and rlb3 were down -Be
