dition 10 heavy exports OF gold to Europe were
bound 10 have an effect any system Of aver
ages In spite OF the serious loss in reserve the
actual condition of the banks was undoubtedly
poorer by several millions than the weekly show
Ing Outside the decrease in cash tho changes
were not important There was slight increase
in loans and the decrease in deposits was only
little larger than the other changes demanded.
The Statemcnt was, in fact. unusually consistent.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS
Speculation in railway securities wis dull even
for a halliday. The visit Of the Spanish Princess
was good enough excuse for the interruption OF
business and the rally at the close may have fol-
lowed indirectly from lack of interest. Inc pub
LEGATION OF the bank statement was succeeded by
"a rally in prices because il was not 40 bad a. the
movements of money had led people TO anticipate.
The suggestion that the Treasury might increase
the grccnback issue was received with incretulity
until the news was confirmed. This is on par
with the Sccyetarys first official utteIance when
he proposed 10 pay Treasury notes in silver. al
though the law makes them full legal tender
notes. The two suggestions demonstrate the IN
fitness OF the head of the Treasury Department 10
consider financial questions. If there i one thing
absolutely certain in the financial policy OF this
country il is that the whole grcenback loan should
have been paid of long ago. To make new l-snc
when there Is not the excuse OF war IL pr"post"r-
Gus. The closing confident, even II II was
quiet and ll"ess.
Government bonds continue 70 be neglected. M
the Stock Exchange. and bids for both classes OF
IC were reduced again IA per cent without at
tracing business. Following are final quotations:
