WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.
The bank statement is very favorable
and the figures show the banks have made
a net gain of 81, 459, 503 in their local re-
serve. The banks now hold $186, 377. IS
above the rs per cent required by law.
The large increase in legal tenders is due
to treasury payments and the release of a
large amount from lock up. Loans in
crease 800, 407; specie, decrease $780,
872; circulation, decrease $84,213; depos-
its, increase "a, 2S4, $50; legal tenders,
increase 1924, 500, 1854. The week closed
with great ease in money, and the supply
offering this evening was largely in excess
of the demand. Bankers and brokers were
supplied freely on call at 4 to per cent at
the close and large balances we're carried
over at bank.
New York Dry Good Market.
New YORK, Feb. 4.-The week closes
on a still hfeless market, and it is not sur
prising, when we ind such an extortionate
rate of freights established against this
city by the railroad monopolists. On 100
lbs. there is difference between this city
and Baltimore, to Louisville, of 65 cents
in favor of Baltimore, which would make
freights, on one class of prints, $2.70
against New York. The result is shown in
the timidity with which buyers purchase
goods, and anything that can be bought
from the agents here, to ship from Balti-
more, is ordered expressly in that way
1t is to be hoped this state of
things will not exist long, for it
would be detrimental to our city trade.
There is great scarcity of water existing
at the East, and the mills consequently
are not turning out the usual quantity Of
textile fabrics, nor have they got enough
to bleach, and hence the agent is very firm
in his views to-day on bleached muslins.
Nevertheless, no advance has been estab-
ished, except 1c on New York Mills and
Wsmsutta yard-wide nusliHs, as advised
yesterday. Pepperel 10-4 sheetings, Job
bing rates, 24c below what the agents will
accept. In other makes there Is no par
ticulsr change to notice. Prints heavy
and firm at lie for all regular brands.
Printing cloths scarce and intrinslcally too
high at 7ac. In delaines there are fine as
sentiments, and opening low at 18c. Paci-
ic lawns are in choice display at 14c for
fancy; 15c for black and white and sorted
colors, and fancy organizes on fourteen
hundred cloths.
