 The loan contraction shown by the bank statement was viewed with special satis- faction as 1t was effected without disturb ance in the money market and as the liber- al loan expansion of the period just passed has been purely of emergency character in observance of the time honored policy of lending freely In a panic to solvent bor- rowers at the market rate of interest.
 Bonds were strong. Total sales par value s1.93S,000. U. s. 2 have advanced k, the As #. and the 2s % per cent. on call during the week.
