This statement, ON the whole, may be considered
satisfactory the increase in specie and deposits be-
ing larger, while the increase In loans is rather
smaller than expected.
As the Cunard steamer leaves Boston this week,
the shipments Of specie will be confined to those
by the Vanderbilt and City Of Baltimore next Sat
urday, which, If the present rates of European ex-
change continue, will not be large enough to in
luence materially the bank balance Of Monday
next. On the other hand California remittance
of over million of dollars will be due at the close
Of the week.
In money there is no change to notice
European exchanges are rather inactive. Bankers
are asking from 1881 100 for sixty day sterling
bills and 1904 1909 for short sight Good COM
mercia signatures are offered a. from 1884 1881.
We quote sixty day bills Paris at 5.lSl 5l6l,
Messrs. Belmont Co. being drawers at the latter
rate.
There has been less excitement on the Stock Ex-
change to-day, and the amount Of transactions at
the Board and In the street is smaller than on
Saturday. Prices however, are well sustained, and
the Western railroad shares in particular show
decided advance. Messrs. E. B. Little & Co., whose
failure we noticed in Sunday edition, have not
as yet made any proposition to their creditos.
New York Central opened at 75t, and Advanced
at first board to 75, with sales of upwards of four
thousand shares; it advanced again in the after
noon to 75s. closing at 75} bid, as against 75i on
Saturday. The improvement in the Western rail-
| road shares was general and decided, influenced
chiefly by the favorable reports of the traffic during
| the second week in March. The largest advance
is in Galena; it opened this morning at
and vx,tth oa1a ~
| at first board, and to 62l at the afternoon
session, closing at 62a bid, advance of Il on the
closing rate of Saturday. Rock Island advanced to
653 and &C, with large transactions, closing at 65g
bid. This road earned during the second week in
March S., sol more than for the corresponding
week last year. Illinois Central rose to 6lA at
first board, and that price is bid at the close
There were registered sales Of this stock in the
afternoon. Cleveland and Toledo is per cent
higher. The increase over last year, in the re-
ceipts for the second week in March, is 800.
The shares Of both the Michigan roads were
| higher, Southern guaranteed and Central selling
each at l over the closing price of Saturday. The
second weeks traffic ON the Michigan Southern
shows an increase of 1924 Pacific Mail was
firm at 95l. In State stocks the transactions were
unimportant, with the exception OF Mssouris
These under the influence Of the recent legislative
action, increasing the debt Of the State by over
four millions OF dollars, declined to s0i but rallied
