V1raoie- viewed in general sense, sxlia-
itins. as II does. a continued expansion
IN loans, and an aggregate increase since
FEBRUARY ;. or since the bond call q -

against The statement for February IS
shows the reduction IN excess of cash to

portauT points IS reported easier. As
might have been expected. in view Of these
circumstances. exchange rates on New
York have been advanced. and bankers are
predicting an easier money market in con-
sequence. The New York banks appear
to be taking out circulation on the new
bonds al a rapid rate the increase report
ed for the week being 500. %.
