THE clearing house banks OF the city
OF New York made an extremely strong
statement Saturday. the surplus reserve
having risen SS,iTS.3OO. making the total
surplus reserve al inc close OF lHe "Geh
S14969, 175. This increase was brought
about through an actual gain of Si20l 500
in cash, the result OF operations on the
interior movement and with the sub
treasury, and also as result OF a de-
crease OF $50, ,l16.8 500 in loans. which
brought about q corresponding contrac-
t!on Of lT.l06,S00 in deposits, this in
turn lowering reserve requirements by
something like four and n quarter million
dollars. The weekly statement, based on
| averages, showed changes through the
list, the surplus reserve In the state
ment of averages figuring out $40 9SO.000
The summary of state banks and trus;
companies not reporting TO the clearing
house showed O reduction of $4,000. zoe
In loans gain of something over one
and a quarter millions in cash and a
decrease OF SO. 300 In net deposits. The
banks by their reduction In loan com
mitments have fortified themselves con
siderably against possible further gold
export movement, as they are now IN
shape TO meet future drains on their
gold reserve

NEW YORK, April l6.-The demand for

The usual disinclmation 10 enter on eN-
Jcnsiyc new commitments at the week

mission houses, the news reviews OF the
weeks events. often serve TO determine
a new decision In market operations OH
the part OF the speculative public at large
as distinguished from the more limited
circle of professional traders who seek TO
initiate stock market movements. Since
tho supreme court announced the rcaS-
Signmcnt OF the antitrust cases on Mon
day the preliminary steps of such move

Next week is expected To show whether
encouragement is offered for pursuing the

MONOAY-The action of the supreme
court in assigning for reargument the
famous cases OF the Standard Oil and
the American Tobacco company. which
insured a postponcment OF a final de-
cision until fall. stimulated activity in
speculation and caused a marked ad-
vance In prices. While opinions varied
as 10 what the result would be. there
was general belief that the big corpora
lions have thus secured another period
Of immunity from attack by government
prosecution. Bonds were stronger and
more active
TUESOAY-The action OF the stock
market was watched with curiosity and
some anxiety for indications OF the wider
preme court and the effect st will have
in delaying the final settlement of the
trust eases. II was evident that the
violent rise in prices yesterday had
brought into the market large selling or
ders, both for home and foreign account.
Side BY side with these was an influx OF
further buying orders. The latter were
believed to be largely for short account.
the bears having become alarmed over
the sudden rise OF prices The toning
down OF the first effects OF the supreme
courts action was due TO the more con-
servative view taken of It's effect by the
financial and business community at large
than by the stock market element. 1t is
believed every large corporation will feel
itself prescribed IN It's plans and In the
scope of its activities until the question
defined and settled. An early decision
would have been preferred therefore. 10

the rehearing OF the cases
