The bank statement somewhat confus-
ed the Street and caused some selling
OF stocks, but the market quickly rallied
when its seeming discrepancies were
explained away and it was seen to be
really strong statement. While an in
crease of nearly 1119 millions in loans
were reported there was in reality no
increase in lending by the banks this
week, the influence bringing about this
apparent increase having been the in
crease of 50 SOC, 900 in the capital and OF
about 81 800 900 III the surplus of the
First National Bank. The gain in cash
was larger than was expected, exceed
ing $4,000, 900 practically all of which is
reflected in the surplus showing that II
the First National Banks changes were
eliminated, there would be shown to be
only nominal change in the loan ac-
count. HUDSON.
