ports Probable,

NEW YORK, Sept 16-There was
burst Of animation with the closing deal
lngs in stocks, making the last prices the
highest OF the week and at considerable
market was dull until after the appearance
OF the bank statement, which was similar
to lite predecessors Of the week in being
largely professional In It's character. The
undertone was strong throughout as conf
dence was strong that the banks would
manage to conserve their showing OF sur
plus reserve by the shifting Of loans to the
trust companies and other institutions as
was done last week. The appearance Of
the bank statement justified this conf
dence and was followed by the final out
strong. The loan reduction, while very
heavy, was only about two-thirds as large
as the unparalleled contraction Effected
last week. The decline In cash reserves
was UP to the common eXpeCtau tons. Stock
market comment shifted to the prospect
Of further gold imports next week as a
relief from the continued decline upon the
bank reserves by the subtreasury absOrp-
ton and the movement OF funds to the
Interior. Reports from London of demand
for gold upon that center from other
bearing upon the chances of securing for
New York the large shipments OF gold now
moving towards London from South AZ
RIGA and Australia. OF special interest wa S
the report that Paris was competing to
secure some part OF these expected ar
rivals. II London becomes hard pressed
to maintain its gold supply It is expected
that the demand from New York will be
shifted from that center to Paris. The
special strength Of Canadian Pacific in the
market was due to a report of an offer for
the purchase Of the compauy's land hold
ings. The Chesapeake & Ohio reflected the
strong showing Of its annual report. Some
| special demand also continued for the Wa
| bash issues.
