NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.


NEW YORK, April 27-The Financier
says:
Last weeks official statement of the New
York Associated Banks showed quite I'M
important changes, compared with those
that have been recorded in recent weeks
the loans indicating moderate contraction,
instead Of almost unprecedented expansion;
the cash an insignificant change, in place
Of a more or less large augmentation, and
the surplus a slight gain. where previously
the increase had been heavy. This exhibit
of bank conditions seems to indicate that
the influences which have recently been
operative to create more normal situation
have ceased to be exerted and that now
that they have apparently spent their force
we may look for comparatively featureless
exhibits in the near future.
The cash gain shown by the weeks state
ment was S1469GO, instead of loss of
about one and one-quarter millions. was
estimated upon the basis of the traceable
movements of money, which loss was eX-
pected to be indicated as the result of
withdrawals of funds by country banks
The general deposits decreased 81 ,9SO.2JO,
rejecting chiefly a contraction of S1,5S7,-
300 in loans. The required reserve against
such deposits was S435, $50, which sum, to-
gether with the gain in cash, above,
made e64l,9JO the increase in surplus
reserve to $12.346, Computed upon the
basis of deposits, less those of $31. 64S 600
public funds, the surplus is $50, 25S go.
The daily average of bank clearings was
$263, OOO, 900, against $2SS. 100000 in the
previous week. rejecting the almost com
plete inertia which prevf led in the stock
market during the week, and that doubt
less contributed to the loan contraction
above stated. The clearings on Saturday,
representing Fridays business, were even
smaller than the daily average, or S21S.2S2.-
sol. Comparisons OF loans by individual
banks showed that nine institutions reduced
this item by two millions net; eight banks
gained three millions net cash.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, April 27.-Today the wheat
market was again a reflex of the weather
report, although the usual weekend profit
taking held prices in check. and the July
option closed with net loss u. The
corn market also felt the influence of profit
taking and the close showed only an ad-
vance OF Is in response to a preponderance
OF bullish information. July oats closed a
shade lower and provisions without ma
terial change.
/. The drouth in Kansas continued today to
furnish the bulls with encoura cement to
buy and influence shorts to cover, but the
natural weekend profit taking was suffi-
cient to prevent an advance, July closing
with a loss for the day OF u. The market
was only slightly influenced by reports of
cloudy weather in Kansas. and by ad-
vance at Liverpool July opened haS to
5sa&. higher at S3as to 81
Thereafter the price showed The attitude
OF the contending sides, one believing In
higher prices account of weather con-
ditions and the other believing that the
maximum of profit taking had been reached
The result OF the combat was that July
was forced down to 80 The close, with
July Il lower at S31saA indicated a pre-
ponderance selling, but weakness in
were equal TO SIS, 900 bushels. Primary re-
iceipts were 725000 bushels. against 100000

HEARD ON 'CHANGE

Owing to the general publication given to
the gossip that has been current for sew
eral months past relative to the POSSIBLE
ity of William Loeb, secretary to the
President of the United States, being
placed at the head of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, that be-
came the principal topic of interest during
the week Nothing in addition to what was
already known was developed as the re-
suit of the discussion. The conclusion that
had been reached was not disturbed
which was that it is not possible for any
one to speak with certainty in regard to
the control of this company until after
the voting trust shall be dissolved and the
company passes again into the hands of
the stockholders. At that time 1t will be
known with certainty where the common
stock is located and the chances are there
will be nothing definite known in advance.
In the meantime the probability of what
the people going to do who are known
to be largely interested as stockholders
and otherwise in this system, and are
planning to do, forms a subject of more
or less interest and will no doubt be pro-
ductive OF considerable gossip from now
on until the voting trust is dissolved,
which will be some time in June.
There are, of course, several reasons,
and substantial ones at that, why there
should be a good deal of interest mani
tested in the future of this great system,
which includes not only street railways,
but also has the monopoly here of the
electric lighting business, a franchise the
value of which is of no small consequence.
Besides the value and the Importance Of
this system and its growing earning ca
pacty. it has an additional quality that is
likely to draw to ii the attention of those
who are distinguished in the financial
world, and that is it's possible relation to a
plan of bringing together all the street
railway systems and lighting companies OF
the District under one management
Such scheme is still in the air, but it is
liable to come down to earth at any time
and to n.aterialZe into something tangible.
An advance of two points and a half
in the course of one week, and especially
at such a time the present, when the
buying capacity of the market is re-
garded at its lowest ebb. may be re-
garded as an Achievement of considerable
merit. At any rate, that is exactly the
record made by gas stock. Last Saturday
it sold for 80 and yesteI day for 6l1b.
Why such a 1iuctuation has occurred in
this stock is question that cannot be an
sWered with any certainty for the reason
that No one seems to know. Of course
there are conjectures in plenty, only they
are all of the same kind and based
upon the probable distribution by the
company of the surplus which the COM
pany is popularity supposed to have.
The fact is that no one knOwS-that is,
practically no one-what this company has
in the way of resources or whether or not
it has million dollars to the credit Of
the surplus, or whether that fund is lean
empty. Hence the rumors of what is
going to be done and the movements in
this stock. The latter, it is observed, gen
orally takes place at this time of the year.
