The percentage of actual reserve of the clearing house banks today was 26. 49.
 The statement of banks and trust cOmpa- nies of Greater Now York not reporting to the clearing house shows that these in- stitutions have aggregate deposits of $1,209.- 49S.SO0; total cash on hand sl46,1SS, 100 and loans amounting to S1. .070. 0s9. 900.
 The FinanCier will say:
 The statement of the Associated Banks of the City Of New York for the week ending March 2o showed unexpectedly large de- crease In loans and correspondingly heavy contraction in deposits. The actual de- crease in loans s16,594. 500, while depos- its fell $14.T07. .00O.
 The decrease in deposits decreased the serve fund requirement by over $3,000. 900 and this, added to the gain of g. 359.300 in specie and legals expanded the surplus re- serve by ss, ,0S6050, bringing the latter item up 10 sl9. .433. .275. Speculation is at stand still and this, together with the limitation of current obligations. accounts for the heavy falling off in the loan item. The banks during the week gained several mil lion dollars from the interior and about as much in their operations with the subtre ury. From this of course. Is to be de- ducted the gold exports for the week, amounting to about three and a half mil lions
 Under existing circumstances. It is quite likely that the movement If gold abroad will continue in large volume The New York banks have already supplied the Ar genuine with nearly S20,o00,000 of gold on the present movement T. will not be sur prising if the surplus reserve of the banks here showed continued gains in reserves.

Mill takings this week were again surprisingly yooo large. being ssl:oo0 1907.
 Total takings so far for the season are S44,000 in excess of last year. Sta tistics would not continue to show such great absorbing. power by the trade, unless conditions were really much better than last year. and cer- tainly better than the regular run of correspondents from abroad would make one believe. Whether 1t was the strong visible statement or yesterdays bullish movement statis riGs. .bullish. new crop weather or better feeling all around which started Liverpool today, Is hard to tell. The fact is that fu- shnmt tpres in fort English n.f. market were spot prices five higher, and yesterdays sales there were increased to 12,00O bales. War news seems to have lost its terror for the time being probably owing, to the rather definite assurance that the powers. in the event of actual hostilities, will localize the war to Austria and Servia.

cred back to the quotation heure.
 The ginners' report which kept the number of straight bales down to 13.- 100000, gave renewed confidence to many of the local cotton holders. Some had feared, that 1t might reach 13,500,- GOO, exclusive of linters.
 The market, however. did not re- spond to the report. probably because those controlling the demand had be- lieved all along that the figure would
 one. factor. who appears t. view the situation conservatively.. said, While we never really thought that the amount would go up to 13,500,000. we had been told that it might reach there so often that some were getting to be a bit credulous.
 This report-for. of course, we do not consider Inter among straight bales-may tend to steady some hold CTS, who may have been wavering."
 Certainly. yesterday. there. was no sign of weakening. Practically every one IS standing out for 1-2 cents. Ten cents talk Is again strong.
 One reason for this increased bull. ishness is the prolonged rain spell. A large owner of river bottoms said yes- terday. We will not be able to have our land ready. until after the 1st of April. It is going to set us back con- siderably."
 Not only does retarded crop en- nance the danger of frost damage. but 1t Is generally admitted the last crops are. not as heavy as those maturing early.

London, March 20.-The Austro-S Ser vian controversy over Balkan question and the interruption of communi- cation with Paris caused by the strike of the government telegraphers and rostoftice employees reduced dealings to minimum on the stock exchange dur ing the past week and made the ten dency undecided and hesitating. and resulted in general losses, although covering operations at the end of the week caused a slight recovery from the worst.
 Consols felt the effect of the debate in the House of Commons on the naval estimates which foreshadowed an in- creased expenditure and despite gov- ernment purchases. closed half a point lower on the week.
 American securities have been com paratively steady. New York interests supported the market well. causing oc- casional hasty bear coverings while continental option buying assisted in the improvement.
