The Financier will say: The bank state
ment OF last week did not show the heavy losses
IN reserve that were expected to be disclosed
as the result of cash changes incident TO the
surrender by the banks OF public deposits in
response TO the treasury call therefor which
matured on Wednesday. Though the estimated

the difference between the disclosed loss and
that which was estimated accounted for
by important gains TO the banks from the
interior. though such gains were partially Offset
by Withdrawals of 100000 gold for ship
ment TO Argentina.
The actual reserve reduced s., ,302, ,025 TO

New York Cotton Marked

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Huttons wire says:
Cotton was very dull today and the undertone
was rather heavy. The visible supply statement
was rather bearish. showing spinners' takings of
about 10000 bales less than last year 225, 900
bales, against $4,000 last year. The Liverpool
stock of cotton. including that a1oat is up to
the enormous figure OF nearly 100000 bales.
The only thing holding the market at the mo-
ment is the absence of rain in Texas. If this
Genes before Monday 1t would be reasonable to
expect further weakness.
industrial inactivity and speculative impa-
thence are responsible for the sluggish character
of cotton. The week end statistics were bullish
on the crop movement. but bearish mill tax
1ngs and the agitation for the curtailment ,of
100000 spindles. The present visible supply of
cotton is under that Of two years ago and the
amount TO come forward much less than then
The price of cotton at the beginning OF March
last year was around 95oc and on July / was
1oc. The. argument is In every way more bullish
now than then, although the bears are very ac-
tive and vigorous Of voice.

There was some little extra buying of fresh
fruits for Sunday wants, but tradesmen contin-
ued to limit their operationes to the filling Of
small orders. and the increased trading hardly
made itself felt. Stocks of everything were am
pie and the situation in citrus fruits was unsat-
isfaetory TO the selling interests. for although
receipts are running light and prices are firm
at shipping points stocks in the local market
show but little diminution from day to day
Business is also quiet In apples local account
but the healthy demand from outside points is
proving a boon to the owners OF stocks in cold
storage and hold prices for fine fruit strong.
