DECREASE IN TIE loans
The Bank Statement Shows Con
traction of 81, 500, 600.
Considered Significant on Account
of Temporary AccomU oIntions Re-
ffons TO Meet Interest Payments
The Weeks Prices Higher.

NEW YORK, June 3o.-Tae weekly
ated banks shows fer the first tina
in weeks a noteworthy decrease in the
loans. The contraction o. over 81 $4,000 at
this time is especially significant because
of the usual temporary accommodati5rs
required by many corporations to male
their interest payments on July / TIE
chances are that the borrowings on that
account this year are smaller than hereto
fore, though the payments are larger. for
the reason that profits have been large.
Another factor affecting bank loans is
the heavy ceiling of sterling bills at
have been carried by the banhs 10th for
their own account ard for some of their
customers The situation has also en-
affected by the absence of speculative re-
Quirements and by the usual deer ase in
mercantile demands at this season of the
year.
The increase in lawful money shown in
the statement was about SO per :t lar er
than the most Trustworthy estimate made
yesterday. The Inconsistency of s ate

upon averages is demonstra cd gain b.
the fact that the decrease in dep sits is
