BANK STATEMENTS NOT
UP TO EXPECTATIONS
Stocks Buoyant at Close Notwithstand-
ing Reports.

(By the International News Service.) }
New York. Dec. 2-The average bank
statement today showed a loss In surplus

$s2Sooo0 and q loss in demand deposits
OF ss4.Za0oo The actual statement
showed . loss In reserve of s17,645. $50 in
loans OF IS $4,000 and In net demand de-
posits OF aAseo.0oo
This statement does not show the great
improvement in the banking condition
that the Street expected. II was thought
that the calling of loans INDUCED iE
early IN the week by the banks woulo
have resulted In an increase in surplus.
Stocks however. were buoyant at the
close, partly in anticipation Of a good
statement and partly because of the
abandonment Of q short-term note issue
by the allies The opening was strong
under leadership OF specialties Of which
Pittsburgh Coal and Ohio Gas were
prominent Steel and the coppers were
also strong. Profit-making made its ap-
pearance at once in these specialties.
About the end OF the first hour attention
was turned sharply toward the coppers.
on reports that the way had been
cleared for the copper merger.
Utah Copper, Kennecott and Anaconda
were actively purchased and all ad-
vanced briskly to the very close OF the
market. In addition to the merger plans
it Is expected that Utah directors vii!
declare an extra dividend of $50 a share
next week.
Missouri Pacific and Rock Island shares
were strong.
Bankers in general were Of the BELIEF
today that a large loan could be fioated
here by the allies to good advantage.
