New York, June ls.-To-day's stock

An exceptionally strong stock. on the

evidently the cause Of the strength.

In the average bank return. bank loans
were reported as increasing $1O.S7z CO.,
which. with an increase in cash less than
s. 0o0.O 900. resulted in only a small increase
in the surplus reserve.
This statement, under the old method
OF reporting. would have been considered
very nlystifying, as il was almost certain
that bank loans had been reduced rather
than increased in consequence Of the
weeks stock market liquidation.
Figures Solve Difficulty.
The actual figures when they appeared
solved the difficulty, il being made plain
that the reason OF the curiously slender
diminution OF loans In the average figures
was due 20 the fact that the stock mar
ket liquidation came too late in the week
to affect the average calculations.
In the actual figures a decrease OF over

cally the same as those under the aver
