THE SUSTDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLJlND, MAY 1, 1904. 15 ARE NOT INVESTING No Demand for Stocks New York Market in AND tiO PRESSURE TO SELL 3 Vail Street, Consequently, Is Prac tically Deadlocked Movement of Gold to Paris Points to Issu ance of Russian Loan. NEW YORK. April 3a. The bank statement was the only news of the day with any Im portant bearing on the stock market, and It was accepted -with languid Interest. Thlo was partly due to the reeling: that the statement eras not an accurate showing ot actual condi tions. An Increase, although a small one. the cash Item of the bank statement this week. Including the largest EoM exports on record, is an anomaly In ltoelf. It Is partlj explained by the fact that the statement does not reflect the 53,700,000 shipment of gold that went out today, and which will be carried over Into next week's statement. Even allowing for thi th cash reserve Is more than $2,000,000 better than was estimated from the known movements of money. Local cash operations o .H-ron an the exnlanation of the difference. It la generally believed that the outgo of gold up to this time, except the Morgan ship, xnent that went today, Is for oJicr purposes than the Panama Canal payment, the princi pal portion of which, therefore, remains to be provided for. The details of the operation are still Bomewhat obscure to "Wall street, espe cially the manner of the actual withdrawal ot Government deposits from the banks and gold from the Treasury and their immediate lodg ment. This uncertainty waa one of the factors in the stagnation of the day's stock market. The price movements were confined to special ties. Total bond sales were $037,000. There has been no sign of life In the Invest ment demand for stock this weel., and prices have drifted sluggishly. The ease and abund ance of money keeps the market free from any pressure to sell to procure caeh resources, and those who are not obliged to sell have every Incentive to keep their offerings off the mar Jcet, in view of Its small power of absorption. JU the eame time, the abundant facilities In the money market have proved no inducement to operators to accumulate stocks for specu lative purposes, ao doubt and uncertainty over the future course ot values offers no assurance of profits on the operation. The market Is practically deadlocked in consequence. The movement of gold toward Paris, In view of the large resources already at hand there, strengthens the conviction that the Issue of a large Russian loan there la Imminent. The securities market In London has fared ratner better than our own by reason of the relaxing of the money rates, and has also shown a good Investment demand for high-grade securi ties and an awakening speculation In Soutn African mining stocks. London has shown no desire, however, to buy American securities. The large gold export. In connection with the Panama payment and the lndlffeercnce felt towaTd It, Is in strong contrast tilth the nervousness displajed at the time the pay ment waa first considered, and the numeroJs contrivances then ""discussed for casing the strain of the operation. Bonds were dull, but prices steadily main tained. United States new -Is have advanced per cent on call during the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low.

ADVANCING TENDENCY CHECKED. Bullish News In Chicago Grain Pit, Followed by Trout-Taking. , CHICAGO. April 30. Indifferent cables and brilliant weather throughout the Northwest and Southwest caused an easier tone in wheat at the opening, the July delivery being down c to 84c. An active commission-house de mand, however, soon developed, with shorts free buyers of May. In consequence, the May option cold up about a cent, while July ad vanced 4c The leading factor In bringing out the improved demand was the almost sensa tionally bullish crop news from the Ohio Val ley Late weakness In corn, and a desire on the part of a few holders to take profits over Sunday checked the advancing tendency, but the close was firm and near the high point. Final quotations on July were at 85c after the price had touched S56S5c. May ranged between 88c and 00. closing at 89c The corn market was heavy all day. July opened unchanged to a shade higher, at 484 4Sc. and closed at 4848c May closed at 464c. There was some good feujlng In oats early In the day. The market continued strong until the last half-hour, when some of the advance was lost on profit-taking. The close, however, was firm. July closed at 33c, and May closed at 40c. The principal business In provisions was In the way of changing from May to July, al though there was some liquidation through commission houses. Indications are for in creased hog receipts. The market closed easy, with July pork 7c lower, lard 67c lower, and Tibs 2486c down. The leading futures ranged as follows: -WHEAT.

Tues day's exports of $6,500,000. calling for the whole of that amount, because the withdraw als were made early in the bank week.

Cash Increased $188, 000. the specie decreasing $961,000. and legal tenders being augmented by $1,149,000. It will bo noted that the reports which were based on the traceable movements of money during the week, exclusive ot Saturday' ship ments of gold to Europe, Indicated a loss of $S76,40O cash: before there was a discrep ancy of $1,064,300 between the estimated and the- actual, change In cash. Deposits showed a net high record in an increase of $4,093,400. or $1,5SS,000 more than the amount called for by the sum of Increase in loans and the net cash gain, consequently the statement did not balance. The required reserve was aug mented by $1,243,350. through the Increase in deposits; deducting from this sum the net gain in cash left. $1,059,450, as the decrease In surplus reserve to $33,144,450.
