DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Stock Exchanges Closed in New York and London-Ba
Statement Rather Disappointing in Its 0howing-Ef-
feet of the Wheat Crop Report on
the Money Market

NEW YORK, April 1i.-Both here AMI
at London. the stock exchanges observed
an extra holiday today. and business in
the money markets was virtually sus-
pended Continental bourses remained
open, snd generally showed higher
prices
The banks we're open today for bust
ness. and the bank statement was duly
published It was hardly an enIghtea-
ing document. Decrease in loans had
been expected. and such a decrease is
reported. Probably there would have
been a considerably larger reduction
but for the new capital issues of the
Mercantile aud the Park Banks. this
present week. These operations partly
explain the isD-oportlonately large lie
crease in deposits; for, of course,
credits subscribed for new bank stock
pass from deposit account to that OF
capital The result is. naturally, 10 in
crease the margin by which the .o7n
account at present exceeds deposits
The really perplexing part OF the
bank return, however, was its report OF
cash All yesterdays estimates figured
out gain of something like $4,000. coo
Instead. the bank statement has bat
paltry $627 geo gain TO show. This IS
more curious, in view Of The fact that
last weeks cash decrease, as reported
Saturday at the Clearing House, was
more than double the Friday forecast
It may be that the movement of Govern
ment deposits. which appear to have de
creased s., 300 600 this week has some
thing 10 DO with the perpIexiug show

posts too. IS pulling.

to help matters for the Government to
pull money out of the banks in April,
simply in order to escape the necessity
OF pulling it out in May or June. The
upshot of the whole curious bank return
was an increase of 81, $4,000 in the sur
plus. leaving the fund. however. again
below this date in recent years
What viii occur 10 everyone. as he
reads the brilliant figures of the crop
return. IS that the wheat situation is
most lucky windfau Nature has thus
far done her best. as she did in 1902. to
help the American money market out of
it's recurrent troubles There is no
opening yer for complaint that if the
markets are going wrong, the fault is
that Of Providence. not OF man. This
theory. which had considerable vogue a
year and a half ago, has gone out If
fashion since last summer, and is likely
TO remain so.
II need only be added that this high
promise for our wheat crop comes at
q time when prices for wheat are on
very profitable basis. and when the
almost complete failure Of Australia s
crop has left plenty of demand for our
wheat from the European consumer
The result should be an immediate
stimulus to our export trade, and a
genuine increase in the eountry's wealth
