CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, Feb 13-p. IN.
By the operations Of the New-York Sub-1Teasury
in the week ending last night which included
deposits Of $50, 900 for shipment to other places
and payments Of $35,ls5 for purchased bonds, the
associated banks gained Sl,sss, O61. The weekly
bank statement published to-day showed a gain
in cash of 81 ,761 200. Unless shipments 20 the
country have been much larger than those reported
by the express companies and leading banks, IL is
probable that Withdrawals OF gold which were
begun last week, have been continued The
change in the amount of specie does not fully con-
firm this view, although there is no easy means
Of knowing what the bank holdings of specie are
composed Of. Expectations of serious disturbance
in loans by the events OF the week were not
realized, and the expansion OF was much
less than the great activity in the Stock Exchange
value of deposits smaller by nearly 81 $50, 600
than the other changes demanded. The result Of
the changes an insignificant increase OF S2l2,-
400 in the surplus reserve. The banks now hold
in excess Of legal requirements $50 agaits
Sls499,70O in the corresponding week a year
ago, and S7,497, 90 in the preceding year.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.
The opening business at the Stock Exchange
was at substantial concessions The coal stocks
were depressed by the possibility Of litigation
aroused by the recent combination between the
companies, and Reading opened and LacSa-
wanna 2 per cent lower, while New-Jersey Central
began with loss of 3 IL PEI cent. Even after
these declines the first movement Of prices was
downward, and further fractional losses Were
suffered. Official statements that the arrange
ment completed only under the advice OF
eminent legal talent were for some time IN
chectual in checking the decline, but energetic
buying finally offset the heavy realizing sales
In spite Of the rally, Reading closed below It's
first price, and LaCkawanna recovered little noic
than % half Of its opening loss New-Jerscy
Central closed without change. Outside the coal
stocks the market presented features Of special
interest. The transactions in Readiag amounted
10 251 900 shares, while the business in all Othcr
stocks was only $4,000 shares. The relative
activity in Erie, New-England, aud, less strictly
in Ncw-York, Ontario and Western, fairly
maintained MON Pacific was more prominent,
however, by a sharp advance which was Huscd
apparently by buying Tor European account It's
final advance Of is pr cent was Conspicuous
execution TO thc gcner movement. While the
final variations were "a vances rather than de-
clincs. they were small and insignificant eXccp:
in the stocks which have already been mentioned.
