The Financier's Statement.

NEW YORK. April Ie.-The Financier this week says:
 The striking feature of the official state ment of the New York Associated Banks last week was the increase in loans. whereas an im- portant reduction as the result of the heavy liquidations in the stock market early in the week was quite confidently expressed. It seems probable that there were only small amounts of loans called by the banks. while the market was so sharply declining and that subsequently the loans on collateral put in at the lower rates were sufficiently large to more than off, set the reduction in this item early in the week. Moreover, the adjustment of averages in the statement may have had much to do with thet unexpected increase in loans. The cash was increased S2.6SI 200 ,of which S2.- ot7.So0 consisted of specie. This gain corre- spends very closely with that shown by the the fact that the latter were calculated for seven instead of for six days of the bank week The deposits increased $2. 45e. 400. which sum is S2. S4e, 500 below that called for by the increase of S2. 247. 800 in loans and of $2 SSI,- 200 in cash; the statement is therefore fer from reduced by seI4.e5o. which amount deducted from the gain in cash. leaves S2. 266. $50 as the increase in surplus reserve: this item now stands at S6o07, $50. Computed on the basis of deposits less those of S37, ,254.4oo of the Government, the surplus reserve is SI5.32l.- the deposits last week by Si7,oi7, ooo against Sl7.e4s. 700 in the previous week. The n- creased business resulting from Stock Ex- change operations were reflected In the bank elearings these averaging S242 900. 900 daily. against Sl9S 900 900 in the previous week. Among the important changes reported by in- dividual banks were gains of s3.4So. 900 in specie and of SI, 900. GOO in loans by four of ths largest downtown institutions. The losses in the latter item were not important

 NTW ORLEANS. April l6.-The course of the visible supply was quite . surprise to the cotton trade reports of inactivity amongst spinners and unprodtable business on account of high prices led to the expectation of light reduction in the visible stocks during the week. but despite this fact the reduction in the supply exceeded the same week of last year by t2,ooo bales. notwithstanding that the amount in sight was 24. 900 bales greater thus showing that 3e,ooo bales more of American cotton disappeared this week than in the same week of last year. Cables from Liverpool con- tained favorable views and the opinion was expressed that consumption had undergone no curtailment. The changes in price here were limited to few points. A steady tone pre- vailed but the freedom of receipts rather dis couraged fresh buying. In fact there was not much disposition to trade on either side of the account and q quiet condition prevailed. Even with the increase in the movement, the statistical position continues to prevent strong side to the situation. The reduction in the visible supply may be accounted for by an increase in the reserve of spinners. but 1t cer- tainly would be a remarkable instance If with out absolute necessity spinners elected to re- plenish their stocks at the existing level of price, especially with subsequent delivery as- sured at anywhere from $2 per bale to si0 per bale discount, according to the distance In such circumstances unless one Is prepared to handle spot cotton on delivery. it is advisable to avoid commitments in Summer months, as the chances for profit will not measure favor ably with the risk involved.

H. G B. Beers Gotten Letter. fSpeciai to The Advertiser.1

NEW ORLEANS, April i6.-Liverpool was
 better than looked for. consequently our mar ket opened S@5 points higher. but subsequently, declined 4G7 points on near months and l93 or late. owing to the heavy port and interior receipts and the easness of spots. Near the close values steadied slightly on fresh bHylng. making the net gain 2 points on near posi- tions, whereas the late were practically un- changed. The visible supply of American using the week decreased 27. 900 against q decrease of 1000 last year. The total visible sup ply of American to date is 2. i36. 900. against 2.6e6. 900 last year, According to Mr. Eli sons last estimate of 10, s2o, GOO for American consumption. the spinners of the world now hold in their reserve supply 2. I5s, 900 bales this year. against 1 o26. 900 last year. an ex- cess of 632 900 at the expense of the visible supply. which Is 56 900 under last year. The facts show that spinners hold the largest re- serve stock in the invisible supply ever known before, accounting for the apparent strong sta- tistical position as shown on the surface by the visible supply. This demonstrates that splnners anticipated a sharp enhancement of sales for the spectators and stocked up heay- fly Such being the case, with their present large reserve supplies they will take less for the balance of the season than they did last year. The heavy shipments from India to Eu- rope. which are 377,ooo bales over last year will also curtain the consumption of American cotton. With a continuance Of free receipts 1t Is questionable whether there will be much speculation in old crop months We again sug- gest that our friends keep out of them entirely owing to manipulation and conffne their op- erations to new crop positions

 NEW YORK, April i0.-The London advices with reference to the market for & few hours was quite favorable today and foreign inter ests were credited with buying in this mar ket. Time money situation was regarded es materially improved and the indications pointed there was good buying of stocks early in the day Shorts were uneasy and covered on a good scale The railroad earnings coming in hand for the second week in April attracted considerable attention, in that they indicated that teh increases shown during March and February were being well maintained during the current month. The trade reports were op- tjmistIc all around anf crop reports were fa- vcrable. Little or difference was made to the Northern 1ecurities and 1t was figured that big factions have hit upon plain road with the factory adjustments. The bank state ment was fairly good. though not as favorable selling in the latter part of the session. This business was about as expected. however. and consequently 1t had little effect on sentiment At the close there was good undertone ana the ruling of prices were little steadier.

tDy NTbsatc Wife fTOm S W. i<ce c So-J
 NEW YORK; April Ie--several firms have reported their ability to ring out May con- tracts with the firm holding here commanding positions in that option. This is the first time Tn some months and shows that considerable liquidation has been going on in that month this week. Now there are two views to be ad- vanced in the significance of this liquidation careful inquiry through the pit shows that about as many hold on as the other of these two views. The first Is that Mir. Sully hnd- ing cotton coming from the South whenever May got over 40 has sold enough to ease up tho market, prevent congestion. allay excite ment and encourage short selling, all without losing his grip on the position as a whole. The second view is that bulls are getting out. that they are selling every opportunity and the open selling this week is in the nature of blum to mislead traders as open selling heretofore has meant secret buying. Of course no one can know of which two views affords the fact. We can only say that the represen- tattve of the New England crowd has been very frank with us throughout the season and in conversation with him yesterday there was nothing to indicate the action that would sustain the second view of the selling this week. In our opinion the liquidation has been undertaken to prevent cotton coming here in burdensome quantities. There is still large line of May held and this with spot cotton
 t0k cents in New Orleans can hardly be oth- erwise than dangerou sposition for shorts in July and August. The outlook Is not at all clear at the moment inasmuch as the visible supply of May cotton is about the smallest since the Civil War. as proportioned to con- sumption the smallest and very high prices may result. We are in a dangerous position in New York and short selling can hardly be undertaken with impunity until more is known of the outcome in the May manipulation. Weather and crop preparations are favorable.

The worlds sup ply is now 3,3e4.ooo bales against 3,s24, 900 last year. The encouraging character of the ing here and early prices showed 3d9 points advance most of which was lost later on, ow- ing to large port receipts. It was quite clear that despse much bear talk, that the bull side was still strongly entrenched. Plenty of talk is heard of cotton coming this way but week Is expected to show probably 10000 less than the week just closed. against S2. 900 last special significance but Bradstreets Atlanta ropirts claim that crop in Georgia Is a month behind. Receipts at ports for the day were estimated at l7,ooo, against 5000 last year.
