Efforts have been made TO prosecute ten

Woodward explains that sucn, Drosecu-

he has reached thu conclusion that it
will be necessary tc amend the law before

is causing much comment. Ostensibly 1t
is caused by the alleged war in the trade
and the recent cuts in prices Some skep-
tieism is expressed regarding the bona
f1des of this argument, however, as the
Sugar Trust is known to have done an
immense business during the past year.
Another reason given for the weakness
Of the stock is the condition OF the beet
sugar market in Europe. There IS said
to be an immense supply Of beet sugar
on hand and a large crop OF nets ii ad-
ditiOn, and prices are off badly in Ger
many.
a third suggestion IS that the Sugar
Trust itself is responsible for the break
in the stock, not wishing TO show too

The bank statement was an agreeable
surprise again today The expectation
had been fairly hopeful. but there had
been little doubt that the iookcd-for loss
IN cash would result in a decrease in re
serve Instead one OF the largest de-
creaseS in loans on record outweighed The
loss in cash and there was a small in
crease in surplus reserve.
IT, figures OF the statement we're as
follows: Reserves. increased $500. 300,
loans, decreased $I3. 26S $50: specie. de-
creased $5,4Io.OO0; legal tenders. decreased
81 a25-2 200; deposits, decreased SIG. o62. coo.
circulation, increased $50, SEQ.
Large Decrease in Loans.
It will be seen that the decrease in de
Pcsits Of $4,000, 600 reduced the required
reserve nearly 5000, coo The actual
cash holdings OF the banks decreased
$4,435, zoe, which, subtracted from the de
crease in the required reserve, gives the
Increase in surplus reserve approximately.
The banks lost s.. 500 GOO 10 the subtreas
ury and about s. 0G0 coo in the net iufe-
rior movement OF cash It is not known
where the large decrease in loans came
