ably larger proportions and are continued

BONDS.
The bond market was devoid OF feature
during the week. and prices of the leading
issues show but little net change. The
main trend of values was toward lower
plane, in sympathy with the influences gov
erning the share market, but the losses are
not extreme, except in few of the unusu-
ally neglected mortgages

New York. May 1.-The Financier says:
The statement of the associated banks does

ders for gold export purposes were in ex-
cess of S. 10000, so that the banks must
have parted, up to Saturday, with larger
sum than they have been called upon to
furnish since election. Yet, in spite OF this
fact, the statement shows an actual In
crease of SITS, 800 in cash, the gain OF S2OC,-
100 in specie having been offset by a loss OF
$1,000 in legal tenders The favorable fea-
ture of the statement is the increase or

point exceeded only twice during the cur
rent year. The excess reserve of the banks
is really very much under the s4s9l1.s2o re-
ported on May !. There is no question that
the gold exports and the heavy imports OF
merchandise will have an important IN
fluence on the money market II continued

of the imports for the same week last year.
The weeks total, in fact, is heavier than
