INVESTMENT GOSSIP

Watson from New York: The bank state
ment shows a further decrease in deposits,
thereby releasing a sufficient amount Of re-
serve to counterbalance the loss In specie;
hence the banks show nominal strength,
slightly over that Of last week. The best
feature is the shrinkage of loans, amounting
to over 1000, 900, so that the attitude of the
banks is favorable and conservative. 1t is not
likely, with the dull conditions Of business.
that the statement will materially affect the
course of prices. but it is gratifying to those
who are heavy borrowers OF money to OBJ
serve the situation and to realize that it is
favorable. The market is distinctly irregular
and, unfortunately, much too dependent upon
hearsay and gossip as to probable movements
to be satisfactory; nevertheless, unless we
should have higher prices during the comm 6
month. .s
New York to Watson: General conditions
good and all news regarding crops favorable.
Under this influence strength Of the market
should be maintined; Only present danger
is that government disbursements have dis
continued and money rates may go higher.
