for eggs, extras and frsts, which had previously
been firm, being described as weak and steady
respectively. The under grades of eggs are
going. into consumption locally at steady prices,
but the market for extras Is unsettled as the
price OF 21c is considered By many too high
for profitable storing, and large receivers are
trying to dispose OF their holdings in the open
market. There were numerous offers TO sell
extras at 21c dozen the exchange yester-
day, but zoe the highest bid Several
spectators have temporarily ceased buying in
the country.
The butter market closed firm stocks having
been greatly diminished by heavy shipments on
the steamers sailing for the north yesterday '
and on Friday. Receipts for the day were

The Finsncier will say:
$50 far surplus is concerned the
statement OF averages OF the New York clearing

.sThe actual increase in cash reported By the
banks was $9 1913, 200. or about twice much as
had been anticipated while the gain in cash on

contend with, however, the banks by reason of

reserve $52, ,536 625 and the total excess reserve
standing at $40, POI, ,975, which makes a
record for long period past. 1t is difficult
to determine what caused the sudden expansion

ground that the financing Of the Erie notes was

quite likely that even with another call for the
