The Financier will say:


 As had been expected the loans of the New York clearing house banks were materially reduced for the week ending May IS, owing to a readjust- ment of financial operations growing out of the recent sale of s65.OOO. GOO of New York city bonds. While the clearing house institutions as a whole, including the trust companies, report ed loan decrease of $19,063,0 ,00O, it Is worth while to mention that so far as the trust companies are concerned their loans increased for the week s12,- f0o,O0o, indicating that shifting pro- cess from the banks to the trust com panfes has been going on. The banks made material gain in cash, owing to the movement of money this way for the past six days. the net increase having been s7.352,000.
 Deposits were decreased $3,19S,00 and the changes noted brought about q nexpansion of reserve of SS,9S2,200, making the present surplus above the 25 per cent minimum, $20,902, 300. These figures are based on the actual con- dition statement. The weekly compila- tion, figured on the daily average sys- tenn, showed an excess cash reserve of S17.967,300, or $3,000,000 less than the actual condition report The banks seem to be reducing their outstanding circulation materially the decrease for the past week having been s6S0, 900, or a total of about s3,000.000 since the early portion of the year.

RENEWED STRENGTH IN HARD COAL STOCK One of Principal Features 0f Market-ImprOvement
 Recorded in U. 5.

New York May 1S.-Renewed strength in the hard coal stocks, natural out come of the probable early termination of the anthracite coal strike, and further bidding up of specialties in the miseel- laneous division were the principal feat ures of today's stock market Lehigh Valley advanced 2ss points, with frac- tional gain for Reading, while improve ment was recorded by such other standard shares as Union Pacific and United States Steel Trading was moderate, however, and the dealings of the two hours con- sister largely of an evening up or settle ment of contracts for the week.
 The irregularity of the opening was at tributed to foreign influences, London's final quotations for our securities show ing more losses than gains. with especial weakness in Canadian Pacific, which was later reflected here to a greater extent. Arbitrage brokers are of the opinion that some of the recent selling of the stock, which went to it's high record on Tues day, Is for account of Berlin interests. In the course of the first hour here yester- days activity ip Texas company, Mexican Petroleum, United States Rubber, Sears Roebuck and Brooklyn Rapid Transit was resumed, the latter rising to Seikc, It's best price since 1906. Copper shares were almost wholly neglected despite the re- cent advance in the price of the metal and such allied products as silver and white lead. The market closed active and fairly strong, with more substantial gains in Steel, Union Pacific. American Smelling and Amalgamated Copper. Canadian Pacific, after some recovery from it's early heaviness, again declined. The activity in the oil shares at higher quotations followed announcement of an advance in the price of the crude product.
 Money and discount rates hardened in London, where the market movement was altogether perfunctory, with a sagging tendency. The weekly statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany was interest," ing chiefly because of the mixed situa- ton at the German capital. The bank gained almost S12,000,000 cash increased its gold holdings by over s7,000,000 and re- ouced it's discount more than $14,00OO00 Additional signs of overextended specu- iative account, especially in home indus trials. are reported from Berlin.
 The one feature of the bond market. aside from it's general firmness, was the rise in Brooklyn Rapid Transit convertt- ble 4s. Total sales, par value, amounted to s1, 634.000.
 United State sbonds were unchanged on call during the week.
