THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, Dec. Up. m.
Pr tho .perations of the Sub-Trcasury in the
wool, ended last evening, which included the pay
mont of $500, 79j for purchased bonds ana re-
ccints of 100000 exchange on western ana
Southern Sub-Treasuries, and for god taken
from the Assay Office for export, the bahKs ioS1
s321420O cash. A week ago our estimate cav
TO the banks S3,5OO,00c less cash at the END Oh
tho wces than the average reported for the
week. To-day's bank statement OK averages re-
ports loss of only So, 20, 700 cash. This differ
cncc would indicate that the net movement 10
and from the interior, eX-Treasury agency, about
equaled the Sub-Treasury absorption. and that to-
DAVIS statement of cash very closely approx
mates the actual holdings at the close OF business
Yesterday There was an expansion Of loans av-
eraging $4,000. The loss Of S3,91I5OO IN de-
POSTS is IL decline which is 81 100000 greater

KEYNOrES OF THE STOCK MARKET.
The emphatic language condcmnIng the man
agcments Of always used by the Interstate lsill
nd m sir he "A
bank statement. were the keynotes IN to-day )
stock market Values were assaulted at the open
ing by offers to sell at l-1al2 per cent below
last evenings bidding prices, and later special
attention was directed against the old granger
properties. Chicago and Northwestern, which
last evening closed at lO7 Is, was opened on az
IO6 "a. and pressed down to lO5 ~, ana closed
at O5 "a. The character Of the dealings dcvel-
opcd the fact that within these fluctuations the
transactions reported at $3.50 shares-ah
amount nearly equal TO that standing III the
names of brokers on the books OF the company.
No one familiar with the narrowne>S Of the pre'-
cnt stock market VIII suspect that SIch an
amount of Chicago and Northwestern could ether
be sold or purchased i'll two hours time within
Rock Island. which on Wednesday amounted
TO ga 900 shares, to-day was dealt IN
only to the extent of Lab shares, with huctua-
down = per cent at 100 5-4, sold as low as
90 is and recovered TO 100 5-s. Union Pacific
opened off IA at 63 IA and declined to o. la
90 5-s. and St. Paul declined from 63 5-o TO
fall marking 70 1-sa75 IA against 10 IL last
evening, and Manhattan was oil per cent at
81. TO admit that the reported transactions III
those stocks most prominently dealt IN were real
is an assertion that there i broader demand lor
stocks than any one, claims JUST before me
close and after the publication of the bank state
mcnt there was a little improvement IN the tone
of the market
