NEW YORK. March S1.-The weekly
statement OF averages OF the associated
banks made a much better showing than
had generally been expected. The increase
in lawful money is nearly 100000 This
has served IS a basis for expanding the
loans still it appears from the compare
lively small Increase in the loans that
there is no active demand for accOmmoda-
tions The Increase is doubtless due chief
" to the revival Of speculation on the
Stock Exchange. The statement shows
that the banks are beginning to receive
their new circulation, the increase in the
item OF notes outstanding being $4,000
and for the two weeks over 81 $50 600 The
net result of the weeks operations brings
the surplus reserve up 20 nearly SO, 0GO, coo.
The trading in stocks today was active

take profits. There might have been some
more important selling under cover There
was, however. nothing in a large way dur

Dispatches from New Orleans tell of
contract made. by coal men TO furnish
100000 tons of coal to British buyers
during the coming two years. II is said
that the coal is to come from southern
mines. and TO be shipped by way of New
Orleans and the price paid is said TO be
small. This contract is one of the indi-
cations as TO what the prospects of The
coal stocks are. The coal famine in Great
Britain and in Germany and in Russia is
said to be appalling. The February earn
ings statement of the Reading Company
was a disappointment. but it did not pre-
vent good buying of the first preferred
stock yesterday. and it will not bar it
and the other coal road securities from
having good advance in the coming week
or two, according to the experts ON the
coalers.

Another item in the situation which can
not be overlooked by people who wish TO
understand the full strength Of the pres
ent market conditions. is the heavy buy
ing of American securities by London and
Berlin. On almost every day for the p st
three weeks there have been large pur-
chases for the foreign investors. and ap
paren;ly the desire 10 own the Pacific Sc
curities. the Southern stocks. the Atchi
sons. and others is growing every week
instead of diminishing. This taking out Of
the street of big blocks of these stocks
will help to intensity a scarcity that al
ready is felt acutely, now that there is
again brisk demand by home investors.
II is said by financial men who are best
informed regarding London buying that
it will probably continue British investors
are supposed to be very much pleased
with America for passing the new cur
rency law British money is plentiful. and
will be more so as soon as the Boer war
IS over.

The steel aud iron securities have been
a feature OF the week. though their i'm
provement did not begin in an important
way until Friday. Ii has been realized by
careful market people that any sus-
tanned advance in the remainder of
the list was certain 10 be followed
or accompanied by like movement
in this group There have been many
acknowledgements to the holders of
the steel stocks. but the larger part of
them have been in the way of bear stories
for which there were no foundation. and
bear theories as to the future regarding
the unjusIness of which there can be no
doubt. The facts should all be exceptionally
attractive to careful investors. The earn
ings of the new concerns for the first year
of their existence have been sufficient in
several instances to pay two years divi-
dends on both common and preferred
stocks. In all cases they have Men far
larger than even the optimistic projectors
OF the trusts have predicted The Amer
lean Steel and Wire Company will retire
a large part of its preferred stock out OF
earnings. The Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company and the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company will both probably retire heir
preferred stocks out Of one years surplus
and have big balances for common stock
dividends remaining. Nearly all of the
common stocks of the new concerns have
been established on a dividend basis. The
list of items in the showing might be pro-
longed indefinitely. Better than this. how
ever. is the fact that the outlook far the
future Is fully up 20 the record for the
past The rapidly increasing demand for
American steel and iron in Europe and the
Orient will play 3 most important part in
the trade during the coming year if the
home demand slackens somewhat as some
OF the experts predict. These stocks are
selling al prices at which their dividends
equal 10 II per cent With money as
cheap as it is now. and with the promise
that it will be d drug during the coming

bright for this week on account Of the re-
cent statements that the stock is to be
put ON d regular dividend basis probably
at per cent rate. though there is some
talk of 5 per cent. Officers OF the company

ton CT the upward movement which had
been ia part suspended for two DAYS on

Yances in prices in many securities es-
pecially the steel and iron group. and
while prices at the close yesterday in the
railway group were not all improved, there
have been no declines OF any impol lance
The outlook is excellent for a continuance
Of the advance during the coming week
and very probably for much longer time.
Some students Of the market express the
opinion that this upward movement will
he followed later in the spring by an i'm
portant decline, but there is no good rea-
son for expecting any such tumble in
prices. Declines are inevitable. as they
are IN every strong market, but cond. lions
everywhere are most favorable TO i per
manentfy higher range of values.
