The banks now held $40, O.275 in excess

The Financier, In its issue of Saturday,
says: The statement of the associated
banks of New York city for the week
ended April Ia is more in accord with
known facts regarding current operations
than the exhibit of a week ago. The heavy
gains in cash. due to treasury disburse-
ments. are reflected in the increase Of six
millions specie and legal tenders. although
the detailed statement of Individual insti-
tutions shows that this money, for the
most part. has been absorbed by one or
two larger institutions. The expansion of
ss.10e. 200 in leans is only moderate. consid-
ering the activity in speculation and the
borrowing in this market on hypothecated
securities and on sterling. The deposit ac-
count rose S11. S32, 900 as the result of the
cash and loan increases. and this explains
why. in the face of a cash gain of over six
millions. the surplus reserve is only about
three millions higher than a week ago.
National bank circulation shows a steady
expansion. and the total notes of banks
outstanding now reaches 81, 029, 500. 1t Is
quite probable that the full limit has not
been reached I'm this respect, and that a
heavy increase will be made before six
months elapse. The prospects at present
! favor a continued easy money market. and
this, in turn. invites attention TO the sharp
advance in sterling exchange, the proba-
bility OF which was limited at in this anal
ysis two weeks ago No gold has been for
warded 10 Europe. but by an indirect op-
Grafton South America has drawn on the
United States in liquidation of an English
debt The closing OF important stock ex-
changes here and abroad for two days last
week, OF course. deferred developments
that might otherwise have come TO a head.
but some bankers figure that the rise i'm
sterling will not justify exports until a fig
ure of 4-S9 is reached. The outlook as re-
spects gold shipments is not creating APP
prehension. On the contrary banking in
terests are indifferent and point out that
II actual exports follow the incident will
merely reveal the financial strength OF the
United States During the week just end
ed money was drawn from New York to
interior points. and domestic exchange is
at a discount in many cities. whereas IL
ruled at a decided premium only two weeks
ago.

Sheep-Receipts light; shipments none.
The receipts of sheep and lambs this week
show a little increase. the total being over
200 larger than last week, about 100 larger
than the same week a year ago, and over
100 smaller than the corresponding week
two years ago. Thus far this year the re-
ceipts are only slightly smaller than the
same period last year. Notwithstanding
the increase in the marketing the sup
plies were not large enough to invite the
best competition between buyers, but there
was a steady demand from all sources and
current prices were strong compared with
the close of last week. Spring lambs sold
as high as s12. old lambs at S7.25, and
yearling sheep at &.25. There was a very
small supply on sale to-day. and prices
were not q%uotably changed compared with
previous days this week. A few lib
clipped lambs sold at $5.25. Quotations:

Hogs-Receipts. $500; shipments, 500. A
few urgent orders for butcher hogs were
responsible for outside prices at the OPEN
ing of the market to-day, but after these
were filled the trade settled to a basis
of fully sc higher prices than yesterday,
and a very good clearance was finally
made. Statesmen were reluctant in trans
ferring their consignments, but the condi-
tons were favorable to buyers. The re-
ceipts this week are 1900 larger thar last
week, and about Loo smaller than the
same week a year ago. There has not
been much f~iuctuation in values during the
week, and the tendency has been toward
a higher level, which was realized to the
extent of at least 10c over the average at
the close of last week. On account of the
more liberal marketing of hogs of better
weight the offerings were more satisfactory
to buyers, but strictly prime heavy grades
continue exceedingly scarce and there does
not seem to be promise of any improve
ment in this respect soon. AS usual. buy
ers are bearish and shippers feel confident
that prices have not yet reached the high
point. Quotations:

April 14.-Cattle-Receipts. 200; shipments
small. The receipts of cattle were larger
than usual at this time in the week. which
of itself would have had a tendency to
depress prices. but statesmen finally sue
ceeded in transferring their c-onsignments
at about what they expected. However.
in the steer line sales were a little under
yesterdays prices. Local killers paid as
high as A.S5 for heifers, which is the top
price this week. The receipts this week
are nearly 900 larger than last week and
over 500 larger than the same week a year
ago. The initial markets of the week were
attended by the highest prices current
since the high time, but later there was a
reaction of sc to Zoe in prices of steers. from
which there was no rally the latter part of
the week. Female butcher grades continue
scarce, and with a strong demand a fair
advance in prices was realized. Quota

OFFICERS OF THE Law.
A clever new swindle is reported
from Mayville. The chief Of police
there has received a letter from an al
legged official in Halifax, telling him
that a cashier had absconded with val
liable bonds and papers which had
been shipped by express, probably TO
Mayyille. and requesting the chief of
police to ascertain if the package was
there. pay the charges on it, and he
would receive a reward of $500. The
g. Q. D. charges on the package, which
the chief found to be at the depot all
right, were $40, and the officer smelled
a rat and did not bite. The same let
tershas been sent 10 officers at various
towns. and doubtless the same C. o. D.
package awaits suckers. The matter
has been taken up by the Canadian au-
lthorities.
