BANK STATEMENT FEATURES.

The important feature OF the bank statement was
the heavy expansion in loans. the increase over the
preceding week, amounting to S21 52 AGO. being the
biggest gain for any one week record. Special
transactions responsible in great part for this
striking change. In the first place the loan ac-
count of the week before was made on rising
averages and a large proportion of transactions
made at the end Of that week were reflected in this
weeks statement Chief among the influences
however. were the transfer Of many of the State
Trust Company's loans 10 banks and the showing
in the loan account of operations in connection
with the $6 100000 issue Of debentures by the Con-
sclidatcd Gas Company. The beginning of prepara-
uons for the Third Avenue refunding may also
have been a factor while, of course, increased
stock market borrowing added TO the account
There several large deals under way at present
that will affect bank loans. as the Western Unions
nue. reimbursement, which may result in causing
temporary higher for money. Cash holdings
increased in the week ST. 700 co., and despite the
heavy gain in deposits and loans surplus decreased
only $,9737 700. The banks afford to finance cur
rent financial operations without endangering the
surplus. and If money rates should temporarily be
put incident to these operations there should be
uneasiness among investors and careful specula-
tors. The transactions involved in the instances
cited sound business propositions and they will
not add worthless securities to the market or
weaken actual bank holdings. Loans increased
over SCI c0o0Go last week, but the operation repre-
scented. far bank holdings are concerned
little beyond the transfer of funds from one ac-
but of a continuance of such a heavy loan
movement will curtail stock spectators accom-
mediation Five banks furnished one-half the gain
in loans, the rest Of the increase being pretty
evenly distributed among the other institutions.

MEXICAN CENTRAL BONDS.

An enormous buying movement of Mexican Cen
trail income bonds feature in Yesterdays
market. The same character of dealings was no.
tced in these issues Friday. and it Is said that
of the biggest banking houses in the Street is
behind the movement. Mexican Centrals earnings
and the earnings of the Mexican National have been
very heavy recently; in fact for the last two years
the two roads have been making steady gains in
traffic receipts. In the last week in January MeXi,
Central increased $155,000 and Mexican National
$4,000, Important economics are being practised
by the Mexican roads, and the market value of
their securities ought to show considerable i'm

EXCHANGE MARKET CONDITIONS.

says: 1T must be that, with money cheap II
is here at present exchange is again attracting
tention as good temporary investment and good
thing TO hold on general principles. Taking our
money on call at 21z per cent against the present
discount rate Of SH per cent in London there is a
difference OF l per cent per annum-over three
quarters of a cent in the pound sterling in favor OF
the investor In 6o-day sterling bills The operation
moreover looks fairly safe in view OF the increase
in our imports or merchandise and cessation Of
ports at maturity of a 6O-day bill bought now An
additional argument in favor OF higher exchange
after sixty days is the expected great exodus of
Americans to Europe during the spring and sum-
