CHARACTER OF TRADING.

Foreign houses and arbitrage brokers were heavy
buyers of railroad stocks, purchases by aroltrase
brokers continuing until the close. The shorts
rushed TO cover in Sugar Manhattan and Brooklyn
RAND Transit and elsewhere in the list. Commis-
sion houses were good buyers In the two hours OF
trading especially IN Burlington and Atcmsoh'
standard OH interests bought "B. R. T." but there
was no suspicion OF support from special clqueS
or nools. The buying was general and better than
# has been in many days. The Pacific shares were
well taken; also Rock Island. Peoples Gas and the
steel stocks At the close net gains averaged per

BANK LOAN CONTRACTION.

The official returns OF the condition OF the Ma
tiona banks on December have been received ana
make clear evidences Of loan contraction in recent
months, particularly by New-York ana Boston
banks Philadelphia and Chicago also show some
loss but not in large proportion as the TWO
leading financial centres The comparison with the
reports for December /, 1895 shows loss In New
York of about SlS.50O0O and a gain In Philadelphia
and Chicago The manner In which loans nave
been called and bank business contracted In New
York recently Is indicated in somewhat striking
manner by comparisons for several years past. the
volume Of loans has not yet fallen to the level OF
December 1897 but individual deposits are very
near that point, and are 100000 less than In
December 1898. The figures show very remark
able growth at Pittsburg and other mining and
manufacturing centres Of the West. Pittsburg
shows an increase since December IT, 1896. Of about
65 per cent and Cleveland about 80 per cent Turn
ing 10 the Individual deposits of the banks. which
is the next most important index OF their condition
after loans, NeW-York and Boston show a loss as
compared with A year ago. and even as compared
with the September reports. Philadelphia and Chit
cagO show losses but they are comparatively
trinlng Plttsburg shows the same remarkable ad-
vance over the figures OF year ago as In loans,
and even shows an increase over September Of a
substantial amount. Cleveland has been more
nearly stationary during the whole period.

BANK STATEMENT AND MONEY.

The weekly stateme Of the Associated Banks
showed a gain in cash holdings OF &572.l00 a gain
in surplus above legal requirements os S,35S25o, a
decrease in loans Of S.Ce4OoO. and increase In
deposits OF $3.50 100. The statement was much bet
ter than expected. and particularly significant in
view Of the gold Withdrawals for Europe and the
heavy shipments OF money to Boston. on the out
of town movement, excluding the Boston ship
ments. the banks made heavy gains on balance.
while with the Sub-Treasury the gain nearly
81 10000 Gold shipments to Europe will be made
again this week but the condition Of the local sit
uation fully iustifes the movement. especially as
bank receipts from Government revenue deposits
WILL for the next thirty days, aggregate daily
total OF 81 600 00. In addition. the receipts from
the Interior will increase steadily for the next
two months. Exports OF S25 10000 and more could
be easily made. The moderate decrease in bank
loans in the week. in view OF the heavy liquidation
in stocks is explained by the 100000 which was
placed al the disposal OF the market. and which
apparently taken advantage Of The known
movement OF money in the week did not indicate
big gain in cash, and the increase was doubtless
due to receipts OF money from sources not known
