ins accompanied by more or less liqui

connection with this demonstration was
however, mainly responsible for the re-

falied on the whole to recover it's pre-
vious losses.
Inc technical speculative position, and
above all, the rather overgrown bull in
terest IN deliveries for the present crop
would appear to have furnished the chief
reason for the weakness in the market
American spot markets are generally
steady, and the impression is that the
crop movement from now on is likely
TO fall off, owing to the exhaustion Of sup
plies In first hands and at primary
points. The fact that the present time
is dull season in the cotton goods trade
would account for any lack of further
sensational features in that connection.
Prices for cotton, however, are not yield
ing, and there is no indication of an accu-
mutation of unsold products.
feature is the relative strength of
new crop options. Covering by shorts
and purchases by investors who desired
to transfer their interest from the old to
the new deliveries followed the generally
unfavorable tenor of news as to the late
ness of the season, excessive moisture in
various parts of the cotton belt and the
fact that preparations for the planting of
large crop have not advanced in a de-
gree that would encourage confident eX-
pectations OF an enormous yield for the
coming season. At present. however, the
trade and the public are somewhat uncer-
tain as to the immediate developments
and the speculative outcome to which
the Twill give rise, while many incline
to the opinion that on further declines,
both the old and the new crop options are
purchased in view of the strong statisti-
cal position and the rather adverse con-
ditions as respects the new crop.

be due to the fact that the shipments OF
currency to the interior by the banks
have included large proportion of their
new note issues, while the receipts have
been made up of legal tenders. The pro-
cess of sorting thus involved would yield
a larger return to the banks of cash
available for reserve than would be in
dicated in the bare figures of excess of
receipts over shipments on the interior
movement 1t will be by some such
process that the new bank notes will dis
place the legal tenders in actual circula-
ton, and thus make them available for
reserve purposes of the banks. Another
possible explanation of the increase in
cash is that loans have been paid off in
cash. The loan item shows that the new
demands on the banks for stock mark
ct operations and for April 1st settle
ments has more than Offset the liquida-
tion of loans for holding Government
bonds, designed to use as security for
note issues. The result is loan ex-
pansion of $3.50, 900. Had it not been
for the unexpectedly large gain in cash,
the increase in reserve requirements thus
involved would have made an inroad upon
the surplus. 1t was some fear of this
showing that caused yesterdays hesta-
ton ard uneasiness in the stock market.
The same feeling was perceptible to some
extent in the early trading today. but
it gave way to the renewed buying de-
mand, especially for the Iron and Steel
stocks, and after the publication of the
bank statement the strength became geu-
eral and the market closed active and
strong at substantial net gains all
through the list. The bears in American

without any change of moment in the
ton goods is restricted to present require
ments, and very little is doing in wooden
and worsted goods. Staple cottons are

New York, March 31.-The cotton mark
ct opened quiet with prices to 10 points
