NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, April 6-The Ffnancier
says:
While last weeks official statement of the
New York associated banks showed a ma
terial increase in cash 1t did not fully re-
fleet the gain in that item which was ex-
pected to be shown the result Of the
movement Of the week, and also Of the
bringing over from the previous week of
the then unrecorded increase. The loan
item was disappointing, in that it recorded
only a moderate expansion, whereas a
much larger gain was looked for.
The results, as indicated in the surplus
reserve. were, however, quite satisfactory
this showing a larger amount than was re-
corded as the maximum last year when, on
July p, it was s19.391 GOO; moreover the
specie was greater than that in 1906
though the total cash Is about $1,000, 900
less than the highest in that year. 1t is
noteworthy that, compared with March 80
the public deposits in the banks increased
$15, 600. or very nearly as much the
sum distributed in the fortnight through
the subtreasury
The cash gain as officially reported last
week. was SIC, $50. 800. General deposits
were increased $16.S95, 500, which amount
very nearly agreed with the sum of the in
crease in cash and the expansion in loans,
so that the statement made a good proof.
The required reserve was increased a.
233, $50, deducting which from the gain In
cash left 81. 3O9.950 the increase in sur
the basis of deposits, less those of $3O,-
3S9, 100 public funds, the surplus is ST.

Loans were expanded by s., 143, GOO, and
the excess of this item over general de-
posits was reduced. compared with the pre-
vious week, by ST., 600 600. The daily aver
age of bank clearings was 1884 OO0, 600,
against $500, 10000 in the previous week;

Reimbursement of Values.

The changed point of view brought about
by the new conditions has led to an abrupt
and rather violent readjustment of values
and has revived an active speculative spr-
II. which gives rise to the question of how
far the relief of the money markets may
be able to avail In the restoration of
conditions.
These conditions. as they existed before
the collapse in the markets, included. it
viii be remembered. vast projects for eX-
tension and betterments by the railroads,
which were heavily Curtailed, and in some
cases abandoned. by the developments In
the situation. The finding of resources for
the resumption of these projects with their
ConsumptiVe requirements for vast prod
uCts Of industry is a condition of the entire
restoration of the previous conditions. even
without allowance for the enormous credits
which were tied up in the holding of Sc
CuTft!es at the high level from which the
fall In prices began. Bankers and finan-

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star. -.
NEW YORK. April 6.-Inasmuch as the
stock market has had a recovery Of any
where from 8 to 90 points from the low
prices established last month, conservative
SPECTATORS have been inclined to take
profits during the last two or three days,
believing that moderate reactions might
be expected at any time. One conserva-
tive observer even expressed the opinion
that at present prices the market is some
what dangerous from speculative point
of view. On the other hand 1t Is pointed
out that the standard stocks were carried
to such low levels in the slump that even
at present prices they would have been
regarded as thoroughly attractive II they
had not been carried SO much lower. 1t is
known that steady Investment buying of
the leading divdend-payng issues Is stIll
in progress on the belief that-t1 tendency
of prices will be toward higher, rather
than toward lower, level.
Attention is called to the fact that not
for long time have there been SO few I'M
favorable factors in the situation there
are at the present moment Some banking
interests are disposed to believe that before
May l money will be loaning at materially
higher rates than the average for the
week just closing, and maintain that the
fected by such temporary change in the
money market. The same interests, how
ever. believe that during May and June
money will again be approximately as easy
as it appears to be just now
Some bankers have received advices from
the other side indicating that the banking
situation at some of the leading European
centers is not as satisfactory as might be
desired. In fact they believe that that
fact represents the most unfavorable fac
tor In the monetary situation in broad
way They believe. however, that in due
time marked Improvement would be brought
about in the conditions of the foreign
banks.
Although the labor situation at Chicago
has been satisfactorily adjusted railroad
men believe that the agitation for higher
wages and shorter hours will be continued
by representatives of the labor union, par
tcularly II business continues at anything
IKE the present high level Inasmuch as it
is taken for granted that the state legis-
latures. particularly in the west and south,

HEARD ON CHANGE

FROM the standpoint of the local stock
market and the current business done there
Is not much that can be recorded as actu-
ally new IN the situation compared with
that OF the previous week Without doubt
the market has better tone, and in this
respect reflects improved conditions else
where, but there is not much in actual
transactions upon which to base such a
conclusion
Outside of some demand for fractional or
broken lots of certain stock issues which
were construed coming from investment
sources, as it is usually safe to infer in re-
gard to buying of that sort there was moth
ing that indicated a return to the market
OF any considerable number of buyers.
More was done in the common stock of
the Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany than in any other one thing on the
list, and the recovery made by it from the
lower levels that prevailed during the recent
SO called panic was more noticeable than
was the case with any other security. At
the same time the buying while not checked
by rising market. was limited in the num-
Der Of buyers, and yet was sufficient to
take care Of all the stock that came out.
The uncertainty in regard to the extent
of the issue Of bonds by the Capital Trac-
ton Company, and more especially what
would be in it for the stockholders, was
ended during the week by the official an
nouncement sent to the stockholders giving
the details of an authorized issue of six
millions of 5 per cent bonds, four millions
of which are to be dated from the list of
June next.
1t is estimated if the bonds sell at
premium Of about 105 which in the present
state Of the market Is supposed to be the
best price that can be expected for them,
the rights worth about 81 25 per share
of stock. which is somewhat smaller extra
dividend than has been anticipated At any
rate the stock went off to 140 bid.
The typesetting machine stocks claimed
attention during the closing days of the
week. and an advance in the quotations
both in the case Of Mergenthaer and Of
Lanston was one of the features. For some
time past Lanston has been somewhat
neglected and this revival Of interest Is
attributed by some to improvement in
the earning capacity of the company.
In the case Of Mergenthaler it seems the
prices are swinging back to swhere they
were before the late decline set in.

Relief From United States Treasury.

The success with which the crisis was
met is attributed practically by common
consent TO the relief measures of the United
States Treasury Department. The deposit
with the New York depository banks of
customs receipts at this port have been
highly effective in adding to cash reserves
Of the banks. The announcement this week
OF the plan of refunding and redemption of

has given large additional assurance of
future resources for the money market.

House and the Union Pacific executive
offices. The influence of this embittered

due to the apprehension that the further
course of the national government toward

BANK RATE RAISED.
England Anxious to Discourage Gold
Shipments.

LONDON, November 4-The nersistont
demands from America for gold, in spite
OF the recently increased discount rata Of
the Bank of England, and in face Of the
continued rise of cable transfer rates.
caused the Bank of England this morn
ing to raise its rate from So to per
cent.
/ Although an increase to this rate next
Thursday would not have surprised the
market, the announcement Of the rse to-
day occasioned somewhat of a furry
locally. 1t is considered, however, in
financial circles to be the natural out
come to the unfavorab,e New York
bank statement. When the Bank of Eng
lands rate was raised to 51s ger cent,
October b. it was thought that the posi-
ton in the United States was clearing
satisfactorily. but the continued engage
lnents of gold at loss of to 3 per cent
on the exchange rates caused a re-
crudescence of nervousness in the dis
count market and rates were put up
from 57s to per cent in endeavors to as
sist the bank to protect its reserve, but
the fact that since Thursday the United
States has drawn daily from thu bank
substantial sums, already aggregating
s5OOO, 600 Egypt has also recommended
withdrawing gold.
Financial circles here now incline to the
belief that the g per cent rate will suf-
fee and that no further advance will be
necessary. particularly If the Bank Of
France renders its promised aid. All de-
ponds, however, on the absence OF de-
mands of alarming proportions from
America.
The rise in the Bank of Englands rate
of discount, coupled with this unsatisfac-
tory position in New York, as revealed
by the New York bank statement caused
depression all round on the stock ex
change today. Consols dropped %, and
Americans were offered in many cases
at a point below parity without finding
buyers.
The position here, however, is regarded
as being very sound, and the declines
registered today were more in the nature
of a sentimental marking down of quota
tons than actual selling. The market, in
short, regards the advance of the bank
rate as being a purely protective meas
ure against Americas gold demand and

bonds from being placed here.
BERLIN, November 4.-Prces on the

away more sharply later on the an
nouncement of the advance in the dis

awakened approximations that the I'm

another advance in its discount rate. The
declines in prices were heavy, especially
in the case of Americans.
