Decrease I'm Loans Nearly Nine Mil
lon Dollars Inst Week.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The New York
Financier says this, week: The reduction
of S12,0O.0O in the deposits Of the New
York banks last week lightened the reserve
requirements about $3,OO0,oo. The institu-
lions, according to their current statement,
lost Lag, 100 cash and for this reason the
increase in surplus reserve was only 1885,
80, which brings present holdings up TO
$l2,@ 5, GOO above legal requirements,
The decrease in loans was nearly $1,000, 900.
In the last three weeks the banks have con-
tracted outstanding loan obligations for no
less than S26, 600, 600. In the same time de-
posts have been decreased nearly SOS, 500, 900,
while the cash in bank here remained sta
uonary 1t will be seen that reserves have
been strengthened at the expense of out
standing commitments and the process does
not appear to have reached an end as yet.
There is not a question, however, that tho
banks are now. gaining cash even IL the
statement does indicate otherwise. The OPP
eratlons in money last week were decidedly
In favor of the institutions, the loss Of
three-quarters of a million TO the treasury
having been offset by the gain of something
ike $2,VOO,OO to the interior. The current
exhibit does not reflect this, but 1t is to be
said that the losses shown can be traced to
two or three large banks, the remaining
members having really strengthened their
positions.
AS to the outlook, the opinion is that there
dS nothing in the situation at present to
warrant an undue expansion in bank loans.
The liquidation, which began with July, has
run its course to a large extent, and while
the present is n mid-seaSon period, the
movement of money will probably continue
this way for some little time. Foreign ex-
change authorities agree that gold exports,
except as special transactions, are at an
end, and whdle the crop season is, near at
hand, 1t is not anticipated that the demands
this year will cause much of a drain from
New York. Interior bank reserves are above
the average and this, coupled with easier
rates for money abroad and the certainty
that exchange will, rule in favor of New
YORK, with the coming grain exports, seems
to FAVOR a relaxation rather than a rise in
rates here for the time being.

southwest. The seaboard reported a good

move southwark soon checked the rise.

ampled activity in all branches of business

at Interior points, which would otherwise
find their way into New York banking de-

money in New York now serves to attract.
Nevertheless, high class bonds, railroad,
ures and capital is evidently abundant as
never before.
The conservative element Views with
equanimity the future to arouse a rampant
speculation In securities and holders are
apparently well satisfied to hold at present
prices. The street railroad strikes in the
Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs of New
York aroused some anxiety as a possible
symptom of general unrest among wage
earners. This has been an important factor
in discouraging active operations in the
stock market, while so many favorable con-
ditlons seemed to presage that rise in
prices.
Dealings in bonds have been dull and
some issues fell away in price, but others
moved upward on active demand. United

Notwithstanding market was a little
higher, but today 1t took a big jump. ever
If it was the last day of the week. The
market was all of 10g15c higher under the
influence of the good local demand and the
favorable advices from other selling points.
Some of the large packers were still on the
bear side and refusing to buy freely at the
prevailing prices. but there We're plenty of
others who seemed to want the hogs and
were ready to pay the prices.
The hogs sold largely at 81 .32laQ4.S5, as
against $4.2og4.25 yesterday, One load of
the tip. as against $4.So yesterday.
The present week opened with the hog
market a shade higher on Monday, which
was followed on Tuesday by w dvanc OF
fully 15c. On Wednesday the market put on
fully l0c, but on Thursday nc of the gain
recovered, and the week close at the
highest point touched so far. There were
only two or three days last year when
the hog market reached as high a point as
was touched at the close of the present
week and that was during the month of
May. The demand for hogs was good all
the week, though some of the packers are
evidently determined TO hold the market
down as much as possible. Apparently,
however, 1t is beyond their control and
when they become too bear!sh a shipping
demand springs up which equalizes things.

half Of them, or close to it, were Kansas
not offered for sale. In other words, there
were not enough cattle here to awaken any
interest among buyers and the market was
slow and dull and draggy from start to
finish. The general market was 10c lower.
There was quite "a string of cornfed COWS,
but they, too, were slow and draggy and
lower. In the fewest words possible, sit
was a Saturdays market"
Good cornfed cattle sold at strong prices
all the week past and were in active de-
mand practically all the time. On the other
hand, grass steers or common cornfed
steers that were not fat We're l0415c lower
for the week. Grass cows and heifers were
in much larger supply, and as a result the
market broke at least soa4oc. Good dry lot
cows and heifers sold well the early part
Of the week, but the big drop on grass
cattle pulled down the cornfed stuff, but
the decline was not as much as on grass
stuff. At the close of the week the feeling
on stocksrS and feeders was very weak. 1t
Is safe to say that that kind of cattle for
the week were 10al5c lower and the only
thing apparently that prevented the market
from breaking more than that was the fact
