no marked change to-day In the slug.
aEish and Indifferent tone into which
the stock market has fallen. The
Southern railroad group made anoth-
er exhibition OF weakness. but the
general list showed some absorptivc
powers and the undertone was firm
for most OF the time. There was some
relief over the bank statement, as a
possibility OF the wiping out OF the
surplus had been In mind.
TheHreduction In the loan account OF
the banks reached an average OF sl1,-
2S3.1g0. and banking experts attribute
this almost wholly to large repayments
by New York City OF obligations which
lave been carried and for the liqui-
dalton CT which the recent bond ls-
sue supplied resources.
Prices sold OFF under the influence
of the bank statement and made the
closing tone easy.
