The movement of funds, owing both to normal conditions and the higher rates for money, has been decidedly in this direction, and the banks, instead of losses reported for some time past gclned for the week just closed $7,13O,- 000 in cash. The loan contraction had a decided influence in the shrinkage of $22,027,000 reported in deposits, and between the actual gain in cash and lessened revenue requirements, the sur plus above the 25 per cent minimum rose s13,040,750, making the present excess cash reserve s14,977,200. The statement compiled on the average system does not show the changes which occurred later in the week and latter method of computation. stood Saturday at ss,516.75o. A closer an- alysis of the statement seems to show that there has been a considerable shifting of loans from the clearing house banks to outside institutions. both in this city and elsewhere. This is only natural in view of the fact that the clearing house banks up to the present week were loaned to the limit; and that interior institutions have been making many commitments in this market to take advantage of the sud- den rise in loan quotations. The banks just now are in comfortable position and have by no means exhausted the possibilities of strengthening them selves, should the movement of cash turn in other directions, something that at this writing seems rather im- probable.

New Orleans, April 13.-River and weather news put the price of cotton to new high levels this week. that Is. new high levels for the present upward swing of values. The highest prices were made on Wednesday and Saturday and the low prices were made on Monday. At the highest the trading months were 57 to 64 points over last weeks close at the lowest they were 8 to Il points over The close was at a net advance of f2 to 47 points.
 Liquidation of the long interest was heavy throughout the week and 1t was evident that certain operators who have been working hardest for rise had taken their profits and were trying to bring about reaction. A reaction might have been possible this week but for the news from the cotton belt. As it was, the reports of overfows in the Missis- sippi valley and complains of too much rain elsewhere caused the average trader to think twice about going short and stimulated buying on the part of the out side public.
 Reports from the belt indicated that young cotton was up in six states. but that 1t was doing none too well in many sections because temperatures were too low Some complaint was heard that seed was not terminating because of the lack of sunshine In the eastern belt not a few important sections reported that blowing was being interfered with by rains.
 A considerable area of cotton land in the central belt was put under water by breaks in levees and fear that the inundated area would be greatly increased

New Orleans. April 13.-Cotton futures opened today at an advance of to points on good cables a poor weather map and reports of more overfiows. Buy ing for both accounts was heavy as soon as the market opened and the demand was met promptly and principally by offerings from liquidating longs.
 The forecast promised wet weather over Sunday in the eastern half of the cotton belt, which prevented short selling quite as much as did the fear of more breaks in levees in the Mississippi valley. At the end of the first half hour prices were to II points up.
 Telegrams from many sections of the belt said that farm work was impossible on account of rain
 Profit taking by longs increased around the middle of the morning. being stimulat- ed by the rumor that the first bale of the new crop had been ginned at Derby, TexA
 Investigation showed that the cotton that went into this bale was raised in Mexico and ship.ed to Derby. It was the general opinion that the cotton was of the volunteer type and was not picked from cotton grown from seed.
 Toward the end of xhs market offerings from longs weighed heavily on the mar ket and prices were put to points under yesterdays final figures. The close was steady at the poorest.

IRREGULAR|TY IN THE STOCK MARKET American Securities Lower. Dealings Scarcely More
 Than Moderate

New York, April 13.--The course of to- days stock market was again in the di- rection of irregularity and reaction. Deal ings were scarcely more than moderate for the greater part of the brief session the undertone was distinctly uncertain. American securities were generally lower in the London market and opening prices here showed a vast majority of declines. Some of these extended to over point, notably in Canadian Pacific and Rock Island preferred while acute weakness was reflected in American Smelling ana some of the more standard issues. Unitea States Steel, which held it's place as the most active of all stocks, was under seh- ing pressure at the outset, and other indl- cations suggested renewal of operations from the short account. In other ways the tone of the list pointed to an over bought condition and ur1easiness over the political situation.
 Among the few exceptions to the general trend were American Can common, which repeated it's now familiar performance of recording a new high record, and Amer lean Tobbaco, with gain Of point. Re garding the movement in Can the vari- ous 'rumors and reports more or less in- dustriously circulated as to the prospects of dividends are not encouraged by tHe conservative faction identified with that property. The whole list manifested some inclination toward betterment in the sec ond hour on advices from Philadelphia that anthracite coal situation might be reached before the end of the day. An other important factor was the announce ment of a further advance in the price of steel bars by one of the Steel companys largest subsidiaries. Final prices were m most cases the best of the day, with many fractional gains and sprinkling or equal ly important losses.
 There were several interesting features to the bank statement other than the large actual decrease in loans, this item contracting by over S26,OO0,000. The cash gain of about $s,O00,00O was more than double all estimates and the increase in reserve of slightly more than $1S,O00,O00 brought the excets cash reserves up to about $15,000000. It was evident from the s13,000,000 loan increase reported by the on-member banks and trust companies that the burden of the week had been shifted to their shoulders.
 The bond market was irregular today the sole feature beng the activity and strength of Wabash refundings As, which rose 215 per cent on circumstantial reports of an early settlement of the litigation with the Wabash-P Pittsburg Terminal raII- way. Total sales. par value, amounted to 1862, GOO.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, April Especial. While all the news today was bullish t.~ mar ket after it's first advance seemed tired with the buying capacity exhausted AS result the advance was lost without effort to stay 1t. Cables were good. fur- ther rains were reported and forecasted, the flood news favored the bulls, Mise sissippi advioes were poor. and while the demand existedsofferngs were limited.
 Spot sales south are at full prices and some of the trade reports favor the high price believers. There has been a large covering of the shorts. but at this price the market wavers and requires mora forceful buying to prevent sharp re- action.
 Much has been discounted in the ad- vance. The idea is well rooted that the weather is the key to the situation. After the close prices were easier.

SHARP ADVANCE IN COTTON MARKET
All Positions Make New High RecOrds-Some
 Heavy Buying

New York, April 1s.-There was another sharp advance in the cotton market this morning with all positions making new high records for the movement owing to unsettled weather in the south and re- ports of further breaks in the Mississippi levees. Realizing continued very heavy and after having shown a net gain of about IA to IS points the market eased of with the close about points higher The opening was firm at an advance of to F points on reports of bad weather in the south, and the market sold II to 16 points above the closing figures of yester- day within the first half hour.
 There was extremely heavy buying for both accounts on the prospects for further rain in the belt and reports that the flood ed area in the Mississippi valley had been extended owing to additional breaks in the levee below Natchez.
 Recent sellers appeared to be covering on the advance, which carried July scores up to Il, 44c and October to Il. 55c, or about 31 points above the low level reached on the reaction of Thursday.
 The appearance of the weather map, showing an extensive low barometer northwest of the belt, extending itself southward and eastward, inspired private predictions of rains in the south over Sun day, which no doubt added to the ner- vousness of shorts. The official forecast for showers in the eastern belt and clear ing weather with lower temperatures in the west, however, proved rather more favorable than anticipated and may have | increased the tendency to take the profits on long cotton for over the week end. Selling was also encouraged by private re- ports from eastern belt sections claiming | that the showers there were beneficial. | At any rate, offerings were very heavy during the last hour, and New Orleans was particularly active seller here just before the close. Last prices were about | l to points above the closing figures of last night on the active months. Re- views of the dry good situation indicated rather a less active demand for goods,
 but prices were reported firm, with an ad- vanclng tendency in some lines.
 Receipts at the ports today, 1S,00O bales, l against 16124 last week and GS25 last year. | For the week, 120000, against 14Sl91 last l week and 52,024 last year. Todays re- ceipts at Galveston, 50S2, against 3lS1 last year; at New Orleans, 35l7, against 16S5
 last year ,and at Houston, S6ll, against | 2S11 last year.

REMARKABLE RISE
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Wild Rush to Buy Swept the Market as Much as
 A Cents

Chicago, April 1s.--A wild rush to buy wheat swept the market higher today as much as IA cents. One firm suspended. The remarkable advance was due to increased alarm about crop damage said to equal 5oo0o,00o bush els. Although violent fluctuations in tervened, the close for the day was strong at prices running from 1Q1hc to 3A64c above the figures current last night All other leading staples joined in the upturn. Net gains were Corn. 1q1Ac, oats. a shade to 1a e 9sc, and provisions, 7h d15c.
 Confusion in the pit reached such point that at one time quotations varied as widely as full cent between sales
 made at the same instant by traders almost within arms length. Nearly ev- cry county in Illinois, Ohio and h. diana sent messages telling of injury or complete destruction that warm spring weather had disclosed in thousands of acres planted last fall and regarded until now as promising good yield, despite the long severe winter. Mis- souri and part of Kansas, too, for warded complaints today nearly as dis dressing as from the states further to the east It was from the hurried pil- ing up of orders to purchase, however, rather than the statements of field con- ditions that the trade virtually broke
 over all restraint, until the advance for the week amounted to around 10 cents. Margins were reported to have been
 called heavily on shorts in wheat, espe- cially St. Louis leader, who defaulted
 on contracts year ago. Large lines for his account were said to have been summarily closed out. on todays latest bulge. The difficulties of the Chicago firm. which suspended business, were
 said not to be serious in extent, nor to involve any other concern
 The advance tempted a great deal of proft-taking, wiping out at inter
 vals nearly all the gain, but the fe- yer to purchase remained unabated Between the opening and the finish May
