NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, May 25.-The Financier
says: The official statement of the New
York associated banks last week was
somewhat more favorable, from the borrow
er's point of view, than was expected, in
that it disclosed a gain in cash in excess
of that which was looked for. Though
loans were expanded the amount of such ex-
pansion was comparatively small. With
the increase in cash and in loans. deposits
and reserve requirements were augmented,
but, owing to the gain in the former, the
surplus reserve was increased to within
So, 750, 600 Of the highest Of the year; 1t may
be noted, too. that the specie item and the
total cash are now at the maximum for
the current year.
The cash increase was $5581, 100 net, or
nearly two millions above that which was es-
timated on the basis of the traceable
movements Of money during the week. De-
posits Increased $6.539, 600. and, conse-
quently, reserve requirements were 81, ,634
800 greater than in the previous week; de-
Quoting this item from the gain in cash
left $4.216200 as the increase in surplus
reserve to $15.6ss. .s75. Computed upon the
basis of DEPOSITS, less those of $31. .668, 900
public funds, the surplus Is $23 ,606, 100.
Loans increased $1.580,S00, though the Iqui-
dation Of speculative accounts on the stock
exchange seemed to call for material re-
duction; the excess of loans over deposits
was reduced during the week by 5000 900.
The daily average Of bank clearings was
$276 OO0,O 900. against $27O,O00000 In the pre-
vious week; clearings on Saturday. reflect
ing Fridays business, were $254, 345, ,308.
Comparisons of loans by Individual banks
show that seven Institutions increased this
item by one and third millions net; six
banks gained IS, 100000 net cash.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. May pa week Of listless
trading on the stock exchange has resulted
In another general depreciation in values
The general public was careful to abstain
from operating, even at the present low
level Of values, while the professionals
started to sell home securities on fears of
dearer monetary conditions. and the prob
ability of gold exports forecasted by the
unfavorable conditions of foreign exchange.
Crop news from all points has been dis
tinctly unfavorable, and the labor troubles
in South Africa have caused uneasiness and
prevented operators from entering fresh
commitments. The result has been that
prices gradually crumbled during the week.
although at the close today the market
was somewhat better, owing to bear pur-
chases prior to the settlement.
American shares recorded another net
loss Of from So to 81 at the end of a week
of inactive trading, the business being con-
fined entirely to professionals. Prices

The bad crop reports have had their ef-
feet In forcing further liquidation In stocks.
One can only hazard a guess at the amount
of money yearly received by the railway
from the grain harvest. Taking the grain
crop at 10000. coo tons. it is safe to say
that third of this tonnage is kept by
farmers, giving 60,000. 900 tons to the rail-
ways. The average rate received by the
railways for this traffic may be placed at
$1.50 ton, making q gross revenue of
$50 ,O00, ,OOO Most Of the wheat is carried
to the mills-a hundred million bushels to
the mills Of Minneapolis and Duluth alone
and is afterward shipped to consumers as
flour. A very large part Of the railway
grain tonnage is carried all the way from
the western farms to the seaboard for ex-
port. With a $90,O00,0OO primary grain
revenue as basis, and taking into consid-
Grafton the many more millions of revenue
received by the railways for transporting
grain products, and then the further revenue
received from carrying back to farmers the
products they receive in exchange for their
grain. and then adding the receipts from
the passenger traffic which is developed side
by side with the freight traffic, it is proba-
bly, safe to say that the harvest brings to
the railways one-fifth of their entire reve-
nue..
Evening star., 1907-05-26

Many of our western roads depend al
most entirely on the harvest for their in
come. A quarter of the freight earnings Of
a great railway like the ST. Paul or the
Southern Pacific is derived directly from
transporting agricultural products. Success
sive crop famines In the west would bring
bankruptcy to some of our greatest rail-
ways. Our agricultural interests are now
SO diversified and cover so large an ex-
panse of territory that we need have little
fear of widespread crop disaster, but every
year the earnings of our western roads rise
or fall with the varying volume Of the
crops. shortage in any particular crop,
or In the crops in any particular section,
always gives anxiety to the owners Of the
roads affected. Prosperous farmers make
prosperous railways.

which effectually checked the half-hearted
efforts of the bulls to support the market.
Money became scarce owing to the banks
calling in loans preparatory to the weekly
balances, and this made IT necessary for
the market to borrow from the Bank Of
England.

present, owing to the probability of gold
exports to France, while competition Is an

A bull on Steel common thus argues his
case: every few even of the gilt-edged is
sues on the stock list have shown as clean
a bill of health since the March panic as
the steel corporations common stock.
There are a few bears left who expect, or
say they expect, to see this stock sell again
around Is; but 1t is extremely unlikely that
it will lose the high favor 1t has won in the
estimation of the public. The common
stock Of the steel corporation represents
good will,' prospective earning power in
excess of the preferred stock dividend, and
satisfying the specific claims of the bond
and preferred stockholders. At $37 share
for the common stock. all this value is ap-
praised at less than $50, 100000; but we
know that the corporation has spent since
organization nearly $423.O00OO0 for i'm
brovements, extensions and capacity work,
all of which actually belongs to the COM
mon stockholders. At the present price of
the common in the market, all these ex-
Intangible and prospective values attach
ing to the shares are counted as nothing.
The absolute value of the betterment ex-
penditures averages about IA per cent an
nually on par value Of the common shares
above the dividends which have been paid
to the stockholders. Consequently at 81 the
average earning power and undivided equi-
equivalent to an investment yield of about
4Oh per cent We are fully convinced that
as these facts gain more general apprecia-
tion Steel common will enhance in Price and
that the permanent holder of the shares will
profit handsomely. An increase of the divi-
dend rate to per cent is not unlikely, but
aside from this the stock is purchase"

WALL STREET WHISPERS.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. May 25.--Some experienced
readers Of the tape declare that it does not
Indicate to them the existence Of a short
interest anything like as large as has been
represented in the reports Of the last few
days. and as would seem to be reflected by
tn heavy borrowing Of several Of the active
issues in the loan crowd. A stock exchange
operator, who is acknowledged to be one OF
the ablest manipulators In Wall street, says
that the tape does not show to him an
oversold market. He believes that there Ia
a reasonably large short interest, but that
the recent heavy borrowing Of stocks has
been for purposes other than the ordinary
daily transactions. He is inclined to be-
lieve that considerable amount of bor-
rowing publicly has been for the account of
large interests who have sold long stocks
on an, extensive scale, but who did not wish
to deliver their own certificates. He ex-
presses the opinion, also. that stock ex-
change houses are not disposed at this level
of prices to loan the stocks to professional
operators on the same proportionate scale
that they would be willing to do at the end
of q long continued advance in prices. He
points out also that the supply Of loanable
stocks in the hands of commission houses
is probably smaller now than at any time
for some months back. Consequently he
believes that operators on the short side.
and others who may wish to borrow stocks,
are compelled to get larger proportion Of
them in the loan crowd than ordinarily
they would be required to do.

OF the largest and most important railroads
west OF Chicago reported that he had re-

No one seems to be attaching great I'm
