TIE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, April 2j-p. m.
BY the operations OF the New-Y0rk Sub-Treasury
in the week ended last night. which included the
receipt of $3ls, 800 for payment at other points
the associated banks gained S1,267,213. The
weekly bank statement published to-day showed a
gain in cash of 81 ,4644O0. The increase in legal
tenders was s., l0S 800 but the loss in specie was
S044, 800. 1t is a natural inference from the
statement. i'll connection with the known move
ments of money, that the return Of currency from
the interior considerably surpassed the outflow of
gold TO Europe The large decrease in loans can
not reasonably be explained except on the theory
that some large and probably speculative loans
have been liquidated. The activity in stocks and
the higher prices indicated an increase IN loans,
while the mercantile business suffered no I'LL
portant change. The difference in the item Of de
poSitS which were larger by S964.100 than the
other changes required, was probably partial
correction Of the discrepancy a week ago. The
final result was gain Of S2,Gjj,21j il the sdr-
plus reserve, which Is now SG,3'j,l2j, against
33,323.22j a year ago, l3,42G,950 in the prcced-
ing year and $lG,llG,525 in the corresponding
week in 1883.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
Speculation remained active and in the main
confident. The business in the two hours allotted
To il was much largec than usual on a hai-hOidaY,
and, in fact, il exceeded that many full days
a week or two ago. The movement Of prices
was slightly irregular, but the fluctuations were
indications of an increasing rather than n waning
interest The opening strong, partly on ac-
count of considerable purchases for foreign ac-
count, and aiterward reali2ations by room traders
caused small reaction The publication Of the
prices, because the gain III reserve was larger
than had been looked for by even the most
sanguine bulls. The closing vas firm, although
q light recession from the highest figures per
mitted. The final advances III comparison with
the last prices yesterday were l2 per cent for the
principal Granger Shares and rather less III the
general list The Northern Pacific stocks were
IA per cent higher, even after Welding q fraction
toward the close. Erie was in demand 10 the very
end and closed at its highest point with gain
of 3-4 per cent. As rule the syccialtieS were
active at advancing prices.
THE DAY IN THE BOND MARKET.

ket was steady at practically unchanged quota
