indicated loss in cash not exceeding
81 100000. but the statement of actual
conditions issued Saturday showed a de-
crease in specie and legal tenders of So
$50, 100. which was considerably above
the estimates: Loans of the banks, TAX
ing the actual condition as a basis, de-
creased during the week 81, 964, 400. and
deposits. as result of changes already
mentioned, decreased IS O33. 100. This de-
crease was not sufficient to overcome
the cash loss in the matter Of reserve,
and as a result the reserve on all de-
posts fell 81. AZ, 425. making the present
surplus SEE. 397 900. The statement OF
daily averages differed materially from
the actual condition exhibit, the princi-
pal changes having been an increase OF
81 $50. 600 in loans. a decrease of about
81 500. 900 in cash and a very small
shrinkage in deposits. The surplus on
the average showing stood Saturday at
s29, 1890. The summary of the trust
showed much larger changes than those
of the clearing house banks. loans hav-
ing expanded $11 $50, 900. deposits nearly
$12. GOO, 600, while cash decreased about
$5OO,OOO The statement of all the in
stitutions was undoubtedly affected to

although these will show in greater
volume in the next forthcoming state
ment.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. April l. 1911.
The stock market has shown spurts of
life during the week, just enough to
prove that it still has some energy left
and can get on the job should occasion
arise. The spirit of repression still
weighs down the situation, however, and
from present appearances dullness may
prevail until the Supreme Court decides
those momentous trust cases-and then
will follow a season of uncertainty until
a better line can be obtained on the
ability of the democratic House and in
surgent- democratic Senate to carry out
it's tariff revision program.
Non-action in the stock market con-
tinues to be more of a tribute to the
supposed great wisdom Of the multi-mil-
lionaire Standard Oil coterie, whose men,

Accommodations Of Money.
The vast Accommodations of cheap money
in the several financial centers Of the

backbone and the foundation of the stock

NEW YORK, Apail 1.-Prices held firm

yesterday was not continued today, trad

preparations for the reconvening OF the
Supreme Court Monday. and as there was
little desire to enter upon fresh ventures
until it is known whether the antitrust

amount of trading was small.

Pennsylvania and New York Central

ports, which showed large losses in net
earnings. In the case Of New York Cen
ual the decrease in operating income Of
81, 10000 was due almost entirely to an
increase of 81 ,629.0O0 in operating ex-
penseS, the loss in gross revenues having
been but $4,000. The reverse was true

To add to the irritation, an interview or

as having said that IL Congress mOnkeyed

Of the corporation would be closed down
indefinitely. The statement achieved a
degree of publicity and aroused such a
storm of protest that President Woods
made haste to repudiate it, but that does
not seem to reach anywhere. Everybody
appears more willing to believe the origi-
