SATURDAY, March 22-6 P. M.
There was an increasing movement in general
trade circles during the whole Of last week, super
induced, in part, by q concession on the part OF
sellers, which enabled buyers to make better bar
gains than they had previously been enabled to do.
But this was not always the case, as some comm0d-
tiles appreciated under the increased activity, and
were higher ut the close OF the week than they had
previously been for some time. This was notice
ably the with breadstu1s, which were held
firm on Saturday at extreme figures. Cot
ton after having experienced a radical decline,
was more steady at the close OF the week, though
the demand was but moderate. Flour ruled quiet,
but steady, all through the week. Wheat was in
limited demand all through the week, but there
was little more inquiry from the shippers on
Thursday Friday and Saturday, under which
prices advanced to cents per bushel snd the
market closed firm on Saturday at the advance
The stock Is reduced to very small ngure while
the receipts have been very small, 50 that there is
little probability Of any augmentation until the
opening of the canal. The corn market ruled dali
all through the week, but there was little i'm
pr0vement In tone on Saturday. The stock is am
pie, but prices are so low that the resumption of
canal navigation Is not regarded likely to a1ect
the market to any appreciable extent still the fu
ture price Of corn, Of other commodities Is, OF
course entirely problematical Oats were firm
during the last part Of the week and closed firm.
whiskey declined during the first part the
week, but closed with frmer tone on Saturday. The
movement in provisions has been fair though pork and

The weekly statement Of the associated banks is
favorable In 30 far that it shows that they have
crossed the line ofiegal reserve and now hold spe-
Gle and grcenbacKs TO the extent OF more than
twenty-five per cent OF their liabilities 1t VIII be
remembered that the national banks kept above
the line all along during the past month. but all
the banks, state and national. are now fortified IN
reserve to the extent required by the National
Banking laws. At least they are 80 IN the average
A few institutions may continue to fall behind, but
these latter are, Of course, the exception. The
change IN actual reserve is very slight, only hun
bred thousand dollars or so OF
GAIN,
but contraction OF nearly three millions in loans
has enabled the banks to marx or million and
half OF deposits, so that the gain in net reserve
amounts to nearly half million dollars. The
statement compares with its predecessor Of last
