Interest in Bank Statement.

There was some little discussion during
the course of the day with regard to the
outlook for Saturdays bank statement, the
present prospects for which are by no
means encouraging. The banks have lost
70 the subtreasury since last Friday more
than 50 100000. and the subtreasury was a
creditor at todays clearing house settle
ment of about an equal amount, Its balance
being caused. by one of the periodical pay
ments by the Central Pacific railroad IN
the settlement OF its debt 10 the govern
ment.
1t will obviously require very heavy and
hardly to be expected curtailment in the
loan account In order that the banks may
be able TO hold their own in respect of sur
plus reserves. Amalgamated Copper was
the leading feature of the market in re-
spect to activity, and that stock covered
wide range OF fluctuations. Rumors were
current late yesterday afternoon that some
form of agreement had been arrived at
between the interests controlling the Anal
gamated Company and those directing the
affairs of the United Copper Company. and
II was stated today with a great deal of
assurance that negotiations were well I'M
der way which would almost certainly re-
suit in the absorption of the United Com
pany by the Analgamated.
