erably relieved yesterday by the decision OF the
savings banks TO require advance notices OF
large Withdrawals. This put stop to heavy
disbursements by the savings banks, which
would have been compelled TO draw this money
from the national banks. A few of the smaller
savings banks applied this rule vigorously when
any considerable number of their depositors
lined up at the paying teers window Ihese
banks told their depositors they would pay out
only in small amounts and to satisfy urgent
needs.
STOCK MARKET NORMAL.
Trading in the stock market yesterday was
once again on a normal basis, and the "lde
fluctuations in prices which have characterized
the recent sessions were entirely absent. The
market closed firm. with moro gains than losses
among the active issues. Trading was on
greatly reduced volume.
The announcement that the Clearing House
Association had decided to issue Clearing House
loan certificates did not reach the floor of the
Stock Exchange until closing time, so this de-
velopment had no effect on the days price
movements The news that s3.500,0O0 in gold
had been engaged in London for import and
that negotiations were under way to secure at
least S5OO0OO0 more on Monday was one or
the principal factors contributing to the restor-
ing of confidence. No serious attention was
paid to the suspension of another small bank"
ing institution in Brooklyn as the general opln-
ion on the exchange was that the banking crisis
had been passed.
The bank statement, despite the reduction of
over S12001o00 in surplus reserve, which Gre
ated deficit OF over 100000, was looked on
as distinctly good, in view OF the heavy and
unusual demands which the local banks had
had made upon them during the last week. The
object of the law in requiring the maintenance
Of reserve by the banks is TO make provision
for times of emergency, and il certainly
=. eminently fitting for the banks to make use of
this money in last weeks period of demorai-
cation. The increase of over S10,0O0,000 in
loans was a surprise in view OF the heavy
liquidation which has been going on for some
time past in the stock market, but it was eX-
planned that the heavy deposits of government
money made in the banks last week by Secre-
tary Cortelyou probably not reflected in
the figures.
A feature which also made for hrmness and
restoration Of normal conditions the
newing of loans made on Friday TO carry
Monday by a prominent bank at a lower rate
of interest The rate charged Friday 10
per cent. but the renewals were made at so
per cent.
About $500. 900 was lent call the Stock
Exchange yesterday at so per cent. The First
National Bank gave notice to Stock Exchange
houses to which II had made loans on Friday at
so per cent that the loans would be continued
over TO Monday at 30 per cent.
