The Finnncier,a stntemeut.

New York, Jan 2S.-The Financier says this week: The official statement of the New York Associated banks last week showed striking gains in all the principal items of loans, cash and de- posits. This was the more remarkable because it followed import gains in those items in the previous week for the fortnight, making an expansion of fifty-one and one-third millions in loans, a gain of 20,000,0 ,000 in cash and an increase of seventy and two-t thirds millions in deposits. The loan expan- sion last week was $16,S31.7OO and in the previous week $34,474,700. The increase last week was doubtless due in great part to syndicate borrowings as was the case in the week ending January 21 for commission houses were not in the market for loans to any ex- tent though rates for money for fixed periods were offered at very at tractive figures. The aggregate loans now are within $30, ,356.00O of the maxi mum on record. The cash gain last week was $9,749,10O making the in
 The augmentation last week was much greater than that which was esti- mated upon the basis of the traceable movements of money during the week which estimated gain was S3,193,4 400; the discrepancy was in part caused by the averages of the gold exports or the week and partly because of unreported receipts by some of the larger banks through transfers or trust company cash. The deposits were increased last week by $26.01S.4O0. this following a gain in the previous week of $44. .655, 100 which made a total for the fortnight of $70,66S,50O.
 The required reserve against general deposits was increased last week by $6,503,S50. deducting which from the gain in cash left $3,245, 75O as the in crease in surplus reserve to $26,979,55O Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $20,S6S.4OO public funds. the surplus Is $32.221,65O. It may be noted that the surrender of public de- posits under the treasury call which matured in the week ending January 21 has caused a net reduction of S1'- S22,S00 in holdings of such deposits by New Iork institutions compared with January '. The daily average of hank clearings for the week was $26s, GOO. GOO against $2S0,o0o,oOO in the previous week.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
OPENING RATHER BETTER THAN
 DUE ON CABLES.
Receipts are Small and Reports or Covering by the shorts of Wall Street Help Prices to Ad-
 vance Somewhat.

New York, Jan. 2s.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at decline Of 10 points which was rather better than due on the cables. The indinerehl response of the English market to the local advance of the previous day how ever, was offset to some extent by the very small receipts and shorts were unsettled by rumors that Wall Street shorts were covering and that a large Texas operator was taking turn on the long side. New Orleans sold here however. and the market following the call while steady. gained ground slowly with prices in the middle of the morn ing about 2 to points net higher. Estimated receipts of cotton at the ports today 1s.615, against 21,215 last week and 32,5S1 last year. For the week -155. 900, against 171,595 last week and 161.111 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 5,169. against 12,076 last year and at Houston S,1s5 against 7,e2s last year.

Unien Pacific the. Central Figure ana Goes mp to 121 7-s With Dealings Enormous in vOlumc--North- ern Securities Develop
 meutn~

New York. Jan. 2s.-The sudden out. break of pyrotechnics in stocks which ls sensitive to development in the Northern Securities case was feature Of the stock market today and this oc- cured late In the last hour of the mar ket. Union Pacific was the central figure and broke through the restraint which has held 1t below 12o and was rushed up to t21 7-s. The transac- tions on the rise were in enormous ly and sensational advances were made by great Northern preferred and the Chicago and Northwestern group. Northern Securities itself in the curb above its previous highest price to the neighborhood of 1.55. There were very large transactions in Erie throughout the session, but that stock encountered very heavy profit taking. It has been the professed expectation for several days past that the decision of the Supreme Court in the Northern Securities case would be handed down at Washington Monday. Beyond this there was nothing to explain the ex- tone Of the general market showed degree as in this special group.
 The greatest activity which develop ed after the appearance of the bank statement was probably not due to its showing although the gain in cash re- serves was much larger than was promised and the loan expansion hardly as great as was expected. With gold going out in stream because there was no adquate use to be found for it at this center, any Accumulation of bank ing reserves here has little importance The strength and activity of q large number of obscure industrials was still a feature today. Outside of the buoy ancy in the rans-continental group the market closed slightly irregular.

LOCAL COTTON MARKET.


(By Private Wire from Gibert X Clay.)
 New Orleans. Jan. s2s.-Americon selling was given as the couse of the minimum ad- vance in Liverpool. Sentiment in that mar ket continues to be besrish. but less aggres- sively so.
 lessened degree of confidence by some shorts induced covering around our opening. which, in the absence of free offerings caus- ed a small advance over the slightly lower figures at which initial trades were made. Subsequently trading lapsed into quietude and all semblance of snap vanished, until it developed that there was a very good spot demand to which must be attributed the late steadiness.
 We expect the market to be subject to temporary influence. The factors. however. against the probability of maintaining ma- terial advance appear the most reasonable There is also warrane for the belief that values may not he depressed to an unrea- sonable extent. Investment buying, hold ing by the country and the promised reduo- ton of acreage and the use of fertilizers will prove potent influences in stimulating support and, we believe. pending more llghs on these subjects. a scalping market will oe- tain.

LovEMAN & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from Ii. X B. beer)
 New Orleans. Jan. 2s.-The market of the present day presents tn most peculiar situa- ton ever experienced by the trade. There is every assurance of the growth of last year amounting to 1S,5OO, 900 bales which added to the surplus carried over at the end of last season, 4ee, 900, will bring the excess in the way of an over-production over prob able consumption of about 2,5oO, 900 bales The South seems to realize the necessity os marketing slowly in order to prevent de cline, and view the situation from afar. The spinner is just as reluctant about buy ing with object of keeping market from ad vancing. In effort to better their DO sition, planters of the South have formed an organization, the Southern Cotton Associa ton, which has called meetings of all per sons, of all professions, interested in cotton in each township, school district and beat of every county, of every cotton State, on Saturday, February 11th. at Il a. m. At these meetings the constitution and bylaws of the Southern Cotton Association to be promulgated by he executive committee will be presented for consideration. Every planter is urgently requested to sign at these meetings the pledge to reduce the acreage and use of fertilizer 25 per cent, and mer- chants will be requested to refuse credit to those who refuse to sign, which action tnO Southern bankers will also follow. This is going to be a bitter fight between the spin ner and the producer; neither side has made much headway so far. the market remain ing practically unchanged today as on tho day of publishing of the Governments of- ficial crop estimate, although prices in the meantime have fluctuated within a range tf about 60 points. The movement continues light a result of holders refusing to mar ket their cotton freely, probably also on account of the severe weather If the past week. Consumers have kept their takirGs down to such a low ebb thus far, 5,G27. 006. against 5,372, 900 last year, that the cop- sumptive basis has been reduced to about 10, 400. 900 bales.
 On the other hand, farmers have shipped so sparingly to market that the commercial crop has been reduced 70 a basi5 of 1O, 93S, ,O00. Unless foreign crops nre shot, holders in distant lands are marketing slow
