SURPRISED BY BANKS
STATEMENT DOES NOT MAKE THE
CASH SHOWING EXPECTED
Loss Was Several Millions Less Than
Had Been Looked for, Being Under
$4,000, ooo-Languld Upward Movement
of Prices Results.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Todays bank
statement proved to be the usual enigma
to stock market observers. The state
inent reports decrease in cash of 1884,
500. There are a number OF estimates
compiled every Friday on the weeks cur
rency from the bank officers themselves.
Yesterday none of these estimates re-
garded as reliable showed a cash outgo for
the week Of less than thirteen million
dollars, and some of them ran to over
SIS, 000, 900. Last Saturday the bank
statement in its item Of cash reserves
failed Led to to sh9w the estimated decrease OF
average system last weeks discrepancy
would tend to be corrected in this Week 8
statement. The conclusion Is unavoidable
that the actual showing of the cash re-
serve item In the bank statement, IL it
correctly represents the actual condition
Of the banks must be based upon many
movements not disclosed to the public
in the information upon which the Fri
day estimates are based.
Today's statement failed to have con-
vincing effect ON the stock market cir
cles, and very languid upward move
ment Of prices resulted This was part
ly due to the fact that a skeptical feel
ing was felt yesterday as to whether the
formidable decrease in cash would be in
fact reflected in today's bank statement.
There is belief that the discrepancies
in the bank statement may be explained
by cash operations between the banks
and trust companies which do not appear
In the reports of currency movements.
Loan Increase Was Expected.
The increase in loans, which reached
"a, 409,360. was not unexpected, and is
attributed to preparations for Nov. set
Elements and to borrowings by Western
institutions in connection with their large
cash Withdrawals. The closing was
steady but very dull and with the ad-
vancing tendency checked.
The rise in money rates has halted
the investment absorption Of bonds, but
has caused little reaction in prices. Bond
houses report a god inquiry, and an ex-
pectation that the falling off in business
activity will lead to some employment
Of idle capital in a short time and a de-
mand for safe investment in mortgage
securities. The purchase of some $25, 0O0,-
600 of bonds Of subsidiary companies Of
the Pennsylvania company by bankers
was the event of the week in the bond
market. and regarded as evidence of re-
vived market for bonds. United States
Is advanced "a and the IS and old 4s "
per, cent over the closing call of last
week.
