FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SATURDAY, March 81.

Indisposition to enter into commitment
for either account was the feature OF the
trading I'm the stock market to-day. There
was feeling In the earlier part OF the ia,
that II was possible that too optimistic
q view had been taken OF the results hKeiy
TO be shown in the weekly bank state ment'
and when the statement appeared al
though it was accounted favorable, IL
failed TO stimulate the market. The banks
lost 81, 7I3 500 cash during the week, or
about three times the amount estimated
yesterday. Nevertheless, as reduction OF
az, es3 600 in the loan account had been
effected, a reduction also far greater than
had been looked for, the bank surplus IN
creased S2,Io7,l5O. The surplus STANDS
now practically the same az at this tune
last year, although far less than for many
wears preceding The deposits OF the
banks decreased in the week more than
tho loans did, 80 that the total loans OF
the Clearing House institutions are now
about sli 600 600 more than total deposits,
although these loans have been reduced
over SIS 600, 600 in the last three weeks
The sterling exchange market has not
indicated recently an extension OF creuit
by foreign lenders. and the reasonable
supposition Is, therefore. that the loans
paid Oh by the banks have been taken up
by the trust companies
The market rallied slightly after the
publication OF the bank statement, but
again sold OF, 80 that net changes in prices
for the day were insignificant, There
were no developments in the Southern
Pacific matter or developments OF any
kind of interest to the market except the
publication of abstracts OF the report OF the
Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. mas
much, however, as the findings Of the COM
mission were not at all different than had
been anticipated. prices OF stocks were
not in any way affected; the result upon
the earnings Of the coal roads OF the en-
forcement Of the findings cannot at this
time be predicted. Because Of the circu-
lation Of a story that the Rock Island COM
pany had purchased or intended purchase
ing the Mexican Central Railroad property.
the Mexican Central stocks advanced
sharply on fairly heavy dealings. The
story, however, was not generally believed.
The impression is now very strong In
Wall Street that the worst OF the money
stringency has been seen, even tho ugh
there may be a few days furry in rates
around the LIST OF April. 1t is said that
one reason for the firmer tone Of the money
market in England, which has been re-
fected in the exchange market here. is
the collection now proceeding in Great
Britain Of the yearly income tax. and that
after the first week In April money will
be more plentiful in London and the large
English cities than 1t il now. 1t Is notable
