 New York, May 1.-The stock market was furiously active today. Occasional offer ings by operators content to take their very substantial profits were swallowed up with practically no effect on prices.
 The continued excitement and advances in the wheat market gave strength to the stocks of railroads running through the wheat belts. The bank statement was also interpreted as distinctly favorable.
 The decrease in surplus reserve was due in large part to the increase in reserve re- quirements through the additions to depos- its and only partlyl to decrease in cash. The force of the upward tendency of prices was remarkable in the second hour and the days net gains ranged between 1 and 3 points for most of the leading stocks. The animation and strength of the stock mar ket during the week has been a strong contrast to the lethargy at the early part of the week.
 The market closed with the furor to buy at the boiling point and with prices at the top level of the week.
 The weeks developments in the money market show that long process of prepara- tion to meet the countrys war needs has been completed. The statement of the clearing house banks shows an expansion in loans and an increase in deposits for the first time since the first week following the Maine explosion at Havana.
 Time loans are offered now at AZ per cent. for sixty days and per cent. for ninety days to six months. Choice grades of commercial paper also are taken at 5k per cent. instead of ner cent and there is increased demand for 1t.
