THE BANK STATEMENT.
Saturday, July 16-p.

Saturday. July 16-p. m.
BY the operations of the New-York Sub-Treas-
ury in the week ended last night, which includes
payments Of Sal ,0ss for Pacific Railroad
bonds purchased, the associated banks gained
Sl6Oo,s5l. The weekly bank statement pub
lished to-day showed gain in cash Of S2,ol3-
100. The striking and wholly inexplicable fea-
ture of this statement was the decrease of S0,75l
400 in the volume Of loans There has been
nothing in the speculative general markets
to indicate so sharp contraction. A httlc
money was sent to Boston, but otherwise the IN
terror movement was insignificant, and for TINS
reason the gain in legal-tender notes also was
not readily understood. 1t is the season of the
year when country banks usually borrowers
in this markets and it is hardly probable that
there could have been an extensive liquidation
in this quarter While the statement was un-
usually consistent in its detoils. IT must he re-
garded as one Of these eniGmatical showngs
evolved from the present system OF averases'
The result Of the changes gain of $3.50,
l25 in the surplus reserve. and the banks hold
in excess of legal requirements S?o,2O7l2O against

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
The utter stagnation OF the stock market ia
exposed By the fact that the total transactions
in the two hours barely exceeded 10000 shares.
In great number of stocks there were no deal
ings at all, and in none Of the leading stocks
did the business reach 1000 shares glance at
the General List" will reveal the apathy Of
speculation and the complete absence OF interest
ing movement The slight fluctuations were in
the direction of higher prices, To be sure, and
the encouraging feature Of the market was the
evident scarcity y stocks Toward the end
there little activity, aroused by the favor
able bank statement, but the buying was strictly
professional. The closing strong. even II
dull, and the final advances were l-4a2 per cent.
IN THE BOND MARKET
There were no transactions in Government bonds,
but the market steady at these quotations.
