THE BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement OF the associated banks IS
slightly unfavoraDle, but Is without important
feature. The tendency seems conservative, IN view
OF a possible active demand for money in the
country about the 1st of APRIL and the loans have
been contracted two millions. The specie Item Is
not readily reconciled with what Is generally known
or the difference the Treasury receipts and
disbursements OF coin during the week. but as the
average is rising one the statement next week
may make amends. The following are the totals as
com ared with the previous week.
