The Features of the Money and stock
Markets,

NEW YORK, March Sl.-waH street
was treated to an agreeable surprise 10
day In an unexpectedly favorable bank
statement. The most sanguIne prellmi-
nary estimate of the gain In cash 6;y the
banks for the week on interior currency
movement and the sub treasury opera
lions did not exceed So, 100000. The act
aul return shows gain of nearly 49,
100000. The explanation Of this large
increase in cash is not easily psrceptI-
BILE. It may be due to the fact that the
shipments of currency to the interior
by the banks have included large pro-
portion of their new note issues, while
the receipts have been made up Of legal
tenders. The process OF sorting thus
Involved would yield larger return to
the banks Of cash available for reserve
than would be Indicated In the bare
figures OF excess OF receipts over ship
ments on the Interior movement. 1t
will be by some such process that the
new bank notes win dlsplace the legal
tenders In actual circulation and thus
make them available for reserve pur-
poses 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 now de-
mand on the banks for stock market
operations and for April l settlement
has more than offset the liquidation OF
loans for holding government bonds,
designed 20 use as security for note Is
sues. The result is u loan expansion Of
$S,2SO,900. Had It not been for the un-
eXpectedly large gain in cash. the in
crease In reserve requirements thus in
volved would have made an lnrold
upon the surplus. 1t was some fear Of
this showing that caused yesterdays
hesitation and uneaslness In the stock
market. The same feeling was percept-
ible to some extent in the early trading
to-day, but It gave way to the renewed
buying demand, especially for the iron
and steel stocks. and after the publica-
ton Of the bank statement the strength
became general and the market closed
active and strons at substantial net
gains all through the list The bears In
Sugar were relieved from their panic OF
yesterday by the assertion OF ofilclall
OF the companies that the sugas war
was still on. But professional traders
handled new short contracts in sugar In
a Eingeriy manner. The stock dipped
4 points at the opening. but did not get
within more than point of as low as
that agar, and rose one time fraction
above yesterdays high level. The stock
was very feverlsh and erratic all day
Peoples Gas was strong on reports Of
the absorption Of the Ogden company
