ASSOCIATED BANKS STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The Flnancier says:
The statement of the New York Clearing House
banks for the week ending March 4 shows q
fall of $5,756.775 in surplus reserve, bringing
the total excess OF cash to $24, ,5S7, 125. This
IS decrease OF about 81, 600 600 since the clos
ing week in January. In the time the
loans have expanded $54, 333. 900 and deposits
more than $50, oO0 900. As five weeks record
this advance has never been equaled Had
the interior called for funds in the usual vol
ume the present surplus reserve would have
been very much less than reported Conditions
a week or two have been sufficient to counter
act in large part the increase in the reserve
requirements. Now that the movement from
the interior Is temporarily less. the constant
loan and deposit expansion is having It's full
effect the surplus money on hand. But
when the full scope of the operations of the
the banks that they making a wonderfully
strong showing. They have met the demand
of American securities for Europe. supplied an
unusually heavy stock exchange demand and
absorbed the large volume of paper incident to
the present trade revival.
The current statement therefore while in
terestng in It's changes must be regarded as
rejecting a elimination of previous conditions
The reduction of 81. PSI. 200 in specie Is less
than the s., 900, 900 decrease reported by one
bank and is due to the smaller interior receipts
and operations with the sub-treasury covering
the past ten days, the previous weeks state
ment not having shown these losses fully. The
increase in loans is heavier than expected, but
in this Item also more than the current week s
ated to reduce deposits and the total expansion
was only 81 236, 700. This is less than the in
crease of So. 900 900 reported by the Chase Ma
tional, showing a real decrease on the part OF
the remaining sixty-two banks. The financing
of new trusts had great deal to do with the
deposit changes. The slight advance in rates
which the statement forecasts, will probably
bring a great deal Of money to New York
within the next two weeks.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, March 4.-The worlds shipments
of wheat and flour for the week were placed at
near 5000 900 bushels and the predicted cold
wave which caused some apprehension yester-
day had not put in an appearance by the time
business commenced. With such juicy meat
for their morning meal the bears felt so lusty
and strong that they knocked 15c off the price
of May as soon they got good chance at
It, The conclusion that they evidently came to
on observing the heavy tone of wheat the for
eigners had taken this week was that the
latter did not know what they were about, as
the weekly requirements of foreign wheat by
importing countries amounts to only 1000 900
