IS UNEVEN
But Upward Tendency Contin
ues in Stock Market.
UNION PACIFIC IS STRONG
Approaches Its Price of Last August.
.Southern Roads Affected by tlie
Storm Keports Pennsylva
nia issue Oversubscribed.
. NEW YORK, April 2. There were con
siderable Additions to the week's rise in
prk-es of stocks In today's market. Tho
further advance was somewhat uneven and
tiio market was lacking in breadth. Deal
ings were largely congested in special stocks
and these also snowed the principal
strength. Union Pacific was the prominent
eKuniple and rose to a rtce higher than :
has been t6uched since August of lost year.
Other stocks touched hig-tl prices lor the
present year St. Paul and the Hill stocks
showed closest sympathy with tho move
ment in Union Pacmc. while Eastern trunk
line tocks and industrials were quieter.
Home.ol tho Southern railway stocks were
shshtly affected by tho report of heavy
damwe by storm.
Further covering' of short contracts by the
outbUmding bear interest was an important
factor in the market, that interest taking
fright at the continued rise in prices and
the failure that overcame a prominent bear
house yesterday. Protit-takiug was freely
pursued by holders who had the benefit of
tite Week's considerable rii;e in prices, and
this conduced to the uneven, and at times
Irregular movement ot prices.
The suocess of the Pennsylvania bond
sale continued to exercise a benencial effect
on the market. Reports of heavy oversub
scription to the hall of the loan allotted to
London, as well as to the New York por
tion, kept up the favorable impression
maila by the incident. An evidence of the
especially attractive character of the new
bond was the selling of other Investment
securities In Indon to provide resources
for taking up subscriptions to it.
The weekly reviews of the mercantile
agencies recognised the improvement in
the commercial tone caused by the good
crop prospects, the seasonable weather aud
the rellected influence of the' better finan
cial situation. Traders attached sentimeulal
siKiiihcance to the persistent advance In
the price of Standard Oil in the outside
market. ITniled States Steel ruled- a small
fraction below the closing price of yester
day. The market closed under the influence
of p:-otlt-taking.
The cash gain reported in the bank state
ment outran ail expectations, reaching over
$lu. OOO.OOO in the averages, and $J,00O.U00
in the actual condition on Friday night.
This in spite of the week's outgo of $.",0ou,
(HHJ In gold. Ixians of the banks contracted,
but the increase of trust company loans was
gTeater than the decrease by the banks.
This was the only reflection of arrange
ments for participating in the Pennsylvania
bond subscriptions. The percentage of legal
reserve to deposit liabilities of all the banks
and trust companies now stands at 81.ro.
Bonds were tirm. Total sales, par value.
$2. 1-,01K. United StateB bonds were un
changed on call for the week.

FLOOD OF CASH FOCIUXG IXTO
NEW YORK.
Present Holdings Are the Largest on
Record Surplus Increases
Nearly $10,000,000.
NEW YORK, April 25. Tha Financier
will ear:
The flood of cash pouring into New York
banks shows no siffti of abatement and de
spite the exports of J5,50O.00 of irold to
Europe, the associated banka reported on
Saturday a net inorease in specie and legal
tenders of $9,947,000. Their total net cash
holdings are now nearly $8T6, 600,000, by
far the largest on record and their excess
surplus above the S5 per cent reserve re
quirement stood on Saturday at $61,73S,625.
To nnd a surplus ae large. It la necessary
to go back t' the period succeeding the
panic. The banks. In accordance with
the C'lfaringr-House rule, figure their sur
plus with L'ni'ed States deposits included,
but since legrally they are not required to
carry reserves against public deposits, the
amount of excess cash they have on hand
Is really about $85,000.000. For the week
the Clearing-House banks reported a de
crease in loans amounting to $7,191,000,
and since deposits rose only (2,266,100, the
$9,000,fl(M cosh gtn went almost wholly to
swell the surplus reserve, which Increased
for the week $i.408,47S.
The summary of state banks and trust
companies in Greater New York, not re
porting to the New York Clearing-House,
shows that they have for the week in
creased loans $8,398,000 and net deposits
$l.i19,700. The deposits of the Clearing
house banks and of trust companies and
suite banks are now the highest on record
and the plethora of Idle funds is indicated
bv the fatJt that the reserve of Clearing
House bitnks is 29. 8 pei1 cent, while the
reserve of the state banks not reporting
through the Clearing-House Is 28. 66 and of
the trust companies 31.41. To just what
extent gold exports will continue cannot be
stated, but the amount matters but little
at the present time, considering the huge
volume of idle funds in the banks.
The statement of Clearing-House banks
for the week shows that the banks hold
$ESt9S -1,750 more than the requirements of
the 25 per cent reserve rule. This is an in
crease of $9,011,325 In the proportionate
cash ruserve. as compared with last week.

WHEAT P T NERVOUS
May Option Almost Reaches
the Dollar Mark.
BIG DEMAND AT OPENING
Pi "st Prices Are Strong, In Response
to Higher Cables, but Heury
Offerlngs Cause Gains to
Be Vlied Out.
CHICAGO. April 25. A sharp advance tn
the price of wheat at Liverpool had a
strengthening effect today on the local mar
ket, the July .delivery closing at a gln of
c. Wheat was extremely nervous all day,
but a firm tone prevailed. Trading at times
was unusually active. The market opened
strong on brisk demand by shorts and coin
mission houses, which waa based on an un
expected advance at Liverpool, where price
were up to ld, notwithstanding the de
clln of more than 1 cent here yesterday.
The principal demand at the start was- fur
the May delivery, and that option advanced
nearly S cents within the first fw minutes.
The upturn brought out liberal offering from
London, which caused an equally quick de
cline and a loss of nearly all the gain. A
feature of trading In the last half of the
day waa the changing from May to the July
and September deliveries. This had a ten
dency to strengthen the new crop months and j
to "weaken the nearby option. The market
closed Irregular, July and September Arm
and May weak. May opened 4 to .c higher
at 97 to 6c, advanced to W4c. declined
and closed at 7c. July opened to c
higher at 89 to SV4c, sold between 88c and
Hla and closed at 894c.
Corn was weak nearly all day. May
opened 4e Mgher at 67c, sold off to 66c and
closed at 66 c. July opened a shade to He
higher at 62562c, sold off to 6 lie and
closed at 62ffiti2e.
Trade In oata waa bearish the greater part
of the day. May opened c higher at 53- c.
sold off to 53c and closnd at the bottom. July
opened unchanged at 45 c, sold off to 45 yc,
the cloning price.
Provisions were easy nearly all day. Later
the market became firmer on buying by a
local packer. July pork cloeed Kc higher,
lard was 5c higher and ribs were 7-c higher.

DROPS OUT OF ARMY LIFE
Falrfa Ay res, (it "Easter Overcoat"
Fame, Kesigna Commission.
"WASHINGTON, April 25. Army .or
ders announce the resignation of Sec
ond Lieutenant Fairfax Ayrea, of the
Seventh Cavalry, eon of Lieutenant
Colonel Charles G. Ayres, of the Four
teenth Cavalry Regiment Lieutenant
Ayre3 resignation has been accepted
by the President, to take effect May 15
ext. No reason for the young man's
act in resigning is given In the formal
orders announcing the fact, nor do the
officers on duty at the War Depart
ment make any explanation of it, ex
cept to say that some months ago an
affirmative reply had been given by
the department to an inquiry ad
dressed to it on behalf of young Ayres,
asking whether he would be permitted
to resign after he had received a com
mission. Lieutenant Ayres was a cadet
at West Point last Spring, when the
"Easter overcoat incident" occurred, on
which occasion several of the cadets
loaned their heavy overcoats to girl
visitors to protect them from the
weather. This was contrary 4o orders,
and met with the disapproval of the
commander of the cadets. Colonel Stone
house. Miss Ayres, a sister of young
Ayres, was among the girls visiting
the academy at the time. Her mother
took the matter up, and a controversy
sprang up, the finale of which was the
Issuance of an order from the War De
partment forbidding Mrs. Ayres admis
sion to the West Point military reser
vation. Thereupon Colonel Ayres,
father of Cadet Ayres. espoused the
cause of his wife, and In an interview
was alleged to have criticised army
methods employed in dealing with the
trouble between Mrs. Ayres and the
West Point authorities. He declined
to answer whether he had made cer
tain statements in that interview, upon
demand of the War Department, and
was ordered before a retiring board
and retired on account of disability
incident to the service July 24 last.
GUNBOAT . FOR MINISTER
Dubuque to Bring Russell From
Venezuela on Leave of Absence.
WASHINGTON, April 25. The gunboat
Dubuque was today placed at the disposal
of United States Minister Russell on
which to leave Venezuela on 60 days'
leave of absence, provided he is unable be
cause of the prevalence of bubonic plague
to obtain passage on the regular commer
cial steamers. The Dubuque's place as
dispatch-boat will be taken by the gun
boat Paducah, and will be under the di
rection of Secretary Slee-per, who, In the
absence of Minister Russell,' will act aa
charge d'affaires of the American Lega
tion at Caracas.
That no course of action has been deter
mined upon relative to the Venezuelan
controversy is reiterated today by the
State Department officials. The Impres
sion prevails in some quarters that Minis
ter Russell may be assigned to duty at
some other post after his leave of absence
has expired.
