New Tor, May 2S.-The Financier says.
 The statement of the associated banks of New York city for the week ending May 2s reflects a continued accumulation of idle funds at this center, although the expan- sion of S, ,202. 400 in the loans increase is an indication that business is increasing.
 The banks gained s6,744,000 in cash, which, added to the loan increase, accounted for the unusually heavy growth Of $lbOlS,5Oo Tn denosits within the last seven days. The statement in view Of the known movements of money for the week is just as expected. The interior banks are increasing their bal- ances here, ss,0OO, 900 of imported gold came into New York last week, and the heavy treasury disbursements due 10 war ex- nenses show no signs of diminution. Against this the only loans have been in inc shape of remittances to the southern hanks and these are not nearly as large as

m sNA1f obfe~L
 New York, May 2S-The fact that today was holiday in London and that Monday would be a holiday both in New York and London had the effect of curtailing specu- latiye operations in stocks. There were two conflicting reports in circulation, both com ing by different routes from the same point in the West Indies, one alleging that the United States fleet had 'been sunk and the admiral killed, and another that Commo- dore Schley had penetrated the harbor of Santiago and sunk the Spanish fleet. The market sold off on the first and recovered on the second, but the dealings were not large nor the movement wide in any case. Prices were sluggish outside of specialtes and final changes were small. Rock Island and Peoples Gas were pushed up again, after a preliminary reaction, apparently to shake off some weak following. Their price was sustained with some difficulty al the close and was manipulated with the evident purpose of making the last price the best. The same thing was manifest in other stocks. Great Northern continued its upward course and added nearly 5 points to it's recent remarkable advance. Illinois Steel rose points additional. but>reacted 2 points New York Air Brake rose points. but lost nearly all of it. There was a reaction after the recovery coincident with the publication of the bank statement, which was on it's face favorable. But the expansion of over $S,000000 in loans. while suggesting activity in business, goes with the knowledge that supplies of commer- cal paper have not been large in the mar ket nor has the demand for time loans been eager.
 The inference is that the loan expansion outside of the demand for speculative uses in the stock market is to be accounted for largely by loans made on sterling exchange as collateral an operation involved in lending abroad money which is due cn ex- change bills but not drawn. The c'e~e for stocks was, however. near the ton pri ees under the manipulation and g. nera ly fraction above last nights closing price. The bond market has broadened during the week and has given evidence of investment buying at home points. Prices are con- siderably higher all around United States fours have advanced F, and the fives A in the bid price. Others are unchanged. s

Paine. Murnhy N Co..s crain Letter

Birmingham, Ala, May 2S.-The pressure to sell by the Armour and Cudahy following the last two days was continued today, and the absence of Liverpool gave them op- portunity to work the crop news and large receipts for all 1t was worth. The raid occurring last week started liquidation. Considerable stop orders in July option were unearthed, and this selling outtqaused a break to 1O11k, or nearly cents { bushel. Around these prices there was a rush to buy and a rally ensued This decline from IA to the present prices is a little dis couraging, but shows manlpulation While immediate advances may not come, we ad- here to the belief that the month of July will show much higher prices.
