Bank Statement Figures Shoe
Loss an Cash and Reserves.

Transactions in yesterdays stock mar
ket were light in volume, with trading
confined in large part to the Hartman
shares, United States Steel, Amalga-
mated Copper, Reading and American
Smelling. Price movements showed
great irregularity, but as rule the lead
ing issues closed at unimportant net
gains, the changes in the brief session of
business representing little beyond the
varying views of professional operators
Commission houses were not active fac
tors in the dealings, SO far as specua-
ton was concerned, and their actual in
yestment operations We're light, though
they reported improving sentiment
among customers who had idle capital
on their hands. New York Central stock
on light transactions showed some meas
ure of response TO the company's annual
report. which presented, figures that
ought to strengthen confidence in the is
sue a solid investment security, while
there also was a fair demand for Penn
sylvania shares, which apparently will
be placed on a higher dividend basis in
the course of the current year, barring
the possibility of the development of dis
tinctly adverse changes in the transpOr-
tation business in this country. Trade
reports received yesterday furnish no
argument for bears on this country. The
volume of general business as reflected
in bank clearings and railroad earnings
is far heavier than recorded at this time
last year, and it shows progressive i'm
proVement as compared with the earlier
weeks of 1910. Western Maryland stock
was a strong feature on limited pur
chases, the movement being accompa-
MED by no explanation other than accu-
mutation by interests identified with the
property.
Bank statement figures, published after
the close of business on the Stock Ex
change, foreshadow higher rates in the
money market. A large decrease in re
serves was reported, both in the exhibit
of actual conditions as Of Friday night
and in the average figures, the actual
reserve declining So, 1889 to $7,726, 200
and the average reserve $4,S09.075 to
$40, OO6, $50, the latter comparing with
| ST.. 49, $50 at this time a year ago and
$50 665 075 in 1905. Loans increased
and cash decreased, loans running ahead

the loan account of the trust companies
and the banks not reporting to the

Under Mr.. Curtis's ruling the charge for
these fish would be three-fourtf1s o: cen,

fish on which the higher rate OF duty
should be levied are those which are caught
and purpOsely frozen. Numerous protests;

Aldermen to Give Hearing-Park Reg
ulations May Re Extended.

The Board of Aldermen will hold a pub
lie hearing to-day at 1 o'clock on smoking
automobiles. which have caused number
of complaints OF late. The National High
way Protective Association, the Fifth Ave
nue. Association and the Womens Political
League, among other bodies, will send
delegates to protest against the nuisance.
Alderman Nicoll. who has made thor
ough investigation Of the trouble, will Sug-
gest a new ordinance, putting the whole
city under the rules now in force in the
parks. He says the smoking Of auto
mobile is due in nearly every case to the
carelessness of its driver, and that as the
rule has succeeded in the parks, there is
no reason why it should not be applied
everywhere.
The matter has been taken UP with the
Board of Health by many physicians. Lon
