banks and trust companies of New York are now the highest on record. an inter- esting point in this connection Is whether the loan expansion will continue. If It does the effect will be indirectly to de- crease surplue reserve. but if, on the other band, the present expansion is but tenn porary in nature the reserve may n- crease automatically through reductions of the loam item and therefore of the de- posit item which will lower the reserve requirements. As business seems to be more active the former contingency would appear to be the more probable.

London Stocks

London, February 17.-Although trading was quiet during the week on the stock exchange more cheerful tone prevailed than for some time past and with few exceptions values closed substantially higher. The feature was the broadening demand and steady rise in gilt edged securities and foreign bonds which followed Premier Asquith's s statement in the house of commons ferecasting better relations with Ger man consols led the improvement with a gain of three quarters, good local sup port being supplemented by continental buying orders. Mexican rails fluctu- ated widely on revolutionary news and closed lower than a week ago. Cop per shares spurted under the influence of favorable statistics. industrial shares attracted increased attention and Chinese securities were benefited by the election of Yuan Shi Kai to the presidency of the new republic. Home rails were exceptions to the general market and closed lower. owing to growing fears of general stoppage of the coal trade.
 American securities which opened glo-German understanding and some continental buying but the American political situation and uncertainty re- garding dividends checked the improve ment and the market closed with prices showing irregular changes, ranging from rise of points in Canadian Pa cfhc 10 loss of point in the shares or the United States Steel corporation.
