The World of Business.
Wall Street Yesterday.

New York, April 3. The market for Sc
curities was irregular throughout the
day, and the trading was on a small
scale. The total transactions amounted to
1927 shares, including 10, 200 Western
Union; $3.50 Jersey Central, and $500
Leather preferred. Opening figures as u
rule were below last nights finals, but
the decline except in isolated cases was
confined to exceedingly narrow limits
There was little pressure to sell Jersey
Central, Western Union and Leather pre-
fered, and these issues lost about point
or so. Western Union was heavy on the
Sage interview published yesterday in
regard to the future dividend policy of
the company. jersey Central continued to
be adversely influenced by the POOR condi-
tion of the coal trade and the likelihood
of a reduction IN the dividend rate.
In the last hour OF the session attempts
were made by the smaller shorts to cover
contracts. This impaired a firmer tone
to speculation and the early loss was
generally recovered. The Tanderhilts dis
nlayed the greatest strength, New York

at the close was firm in tone. Net changes
show gains OF 1-4al per cent in some in
stances and losses OF about as much In
others Leather preferred lacked support
throughout, and closed weak with net
loss OF ga per cent. While the weekly bank

for awhile, prices exhibited great firm
ness with an advancing tendency, but,
enCountering "'caIls,' they eased off

the opening strength. Light Northwestern

accumulation Of sugar is the retailer, who
sees an opportunity to get profit with

The New York FinanCier says this week
Since March 20 the loans OF the New
York clearing house hanks have fallen
off S3.G3s 900 III the same time, de
posts have decreased So. .102 900, and tie
excess reserve fund has fallen over half
a million dollars. The steady liquidation
in loans, which has been a feature OF the
statement for several weeks past. appears
rather strange, in view of the demand for
money needed to pay customs duties and
for purely mercantile purposes.
The decrease of S1,745, 800 in loans
reported for the week just ended, may
be explained on the ground that the
operations during the first few days were
Of a nature to encourage heavy liqulda ton,
but the statement evidently does not show
the actual conditions of banks at the close
of business April 3. The customs pay
ments have been a confusing factor in
this particular. During the past SIX
days for example, the banks must have
lost something like $5,000,000 TO the
treasury on customs account. They lost
at least this amount two weeks ago and
the result was shown at once in actual
decrease in cash holdings.
Now. however, with the same heavy dis
burseme nts, the loss in cash fOr the week
is only 81 ,S53, 300 AS the net interior re-
ceipts during the same period We're prob
ably less than three-quarters of million
dollars, there is discrepancy for which
it is difficult to account The reduction
in deposits is So, 1866 and in excess
reserve 81 .229,175. These figures will be
changed considerably within the next few
days as a result of the heavy dividend
disbursements, the greater part of which
