TO more nominal conditions. and further
contraction on Monday and Tuesday IN
connection with the payments of the steel
underwriting dividends and disbursements
on account OF the Mexican National Rail-
road organization and liquidation of loans
by Stock Exchange borrowers will go far
to explain the itemized statement. 1t Is
noteworthy that loans OF the banks now
are only $9,OS7.30o higher than they were on
Jan. . and SSH $40 greater than at the
corresponding period of last year, when
they stood at $50. 5l2. 10e The reduction in
loans this year since March 1 has been
so. S34, 7o0- The net loss OF $11S2,so0 cash
does not agree with the estimated results
of the traceable movements OF money last
week, such estimates indicating gain OF
81, 263, 400. The discrepancy can be explained
only on the theory that a large movement
of money 10 Boston late last week caused
the bank return as regards cash TO be made
on declining averages. The loss OF S24o13,-
700 in deposits corresponds very closely
with the total of December in loans and
the net reduction in cash, the difference be-
ing only SO, 700. The statement in this re-
spect, therefore, is surprisingly har-
monious. 1t may be noted that the de-
crease in deposits since Feb. p, when the
maximum Of the year was recorded, has
been $50 30 500 -

the reduction of 81. sos 100 in loans. There
was a net loss OF S1132,s00 in cash and a
decrease through the reduction of s24.073.-
