There Is a slow but sure linpCoveniCnt In confidence, and bankers are discouraging any unnecessary speculation nt this time. The bank statement will he published as usual, hut Is not expected to have any effect mnrketwlge. A dull but steady mar ket looked for over election day. ' The liquidation" continues at a Surprising rate. Buying power seems as weak aa ever. Town Topics: The declaration of the reg ular dividend by the Pennsylvania railroad as a favorable Influence was more than counterbalanced by the official statement flint the road would be compelled to re trench to au exteut even greater thnn hith erto suggested. This Is ample wnrnlng against the purchase of stocks of those rail roads which It Is reasonable to believe will find It necessary to retrench also in the matter of dlvideiid payments. Unsatisfac tory as tbe general business situation Is. It Is entirely overshadowed by money mnrket -auditions, which of course are also In 11 arge measure responsible for the reaction which the mercantile and Industrial Inter ests of the country are suffering. The gold that Is now being engaged would luvolve tun I loss, as sterling rates ore so high-. ?re It not for the fact that nctunl money Is bringing n considerable premium, cer tainly not n very gratifying sltuntiou. Iu- deed monetary conditions are becoming very grave in the Interior, especially In. “ smaller towns where the banks do not 1 recourse to the system o clearing house tlflcatcs. Naturally, there wll be a constant dribble of llmildatlon pouring upon the market from nil quarters, and, In our opin ion, this Is bound to bring much lower prices. The bank statement outlook Is so mixed ss to make guesses concerning It of small value, but the best opinion seems to l>e that there will be considerable fulling off In cash holdings ns well as an Increase In the reserve deficit. We look for a lower mnrket today, nnd would not be surprised If next week would not bring about another sharp break In nnces, especially among such stocks as Pennsylvania, New York Central and 8t. Paul. Gn the strong snots we would sell cotton nnd would buy wheat ouly for turns when quite weak. The London early mnrket for Americans Is quiet but quite strong. MONEY AND EXCHANGE. New York.
