NEW YORK, March 25.—Stocks were very strong to-day and with the transactions of over half & million shares in the two hours’ session material galns were quite general and quota- tlons closed at about the best. Expectation that the bank statement would be favorable was an Sunday; early incentive. for purchases, and when it appeared, although showing an Increase of about 5,500,000 In the discount, the decrease of only $570,000 In the surplus reserve recelved a favorable interpretation and most stocks con- tinued their progress upward. The firmness for- American securities in London in anticipation of the fortnightly settlement, the reappearance of large factors in the market, less apprehen- sion as to the monetary situation and the mearness of the close of certain State Legis- latures were all assigned as reasons for confi- dence in market operations. The announcement ©of the formal trausfer of the Brooklyn Union Elevated to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com- pany’s stock was made, and rose 4% points on large dealings. There was & jump of 4 points In Long Island Ratiroad, which is understood to have & work- ing arrangement of the Brooklyn Rapld. Tran- eit. There were sympathetic advances with Transit in other local transportation shares, Metropolitan figuring for 3%, Third Avenue 4 and Manhattan a fraction. Among the Indus- trials Continental Tobacco preferred got up 2%, Gas 1 and Consolidated Gas A Amcng the Vanderbllts there were advances of 1% in New York Central and lc for Canadlau Central. Btrength was also_displuyed by Atthison pre- ferred, Southern Railway preferred and St. Louis and San Francleco. Although most loans were made on Friduy to carry over until Mon- day the fact that call rates ruled to-day at 4 per cent was favorably commented upon and the market closed strong. About seven-tenths of the stock dealt In on the Exchange advanced this week. The dealings, which were about balf a miilion larger than the week previou ‘were mostly influenced by the monetary situs tion and the intersst attached to the bank statement was largely ss to whether it fore- casted easier or tighter money. Judging fro: the course of prices after the bank statement's appearance speculators seemed to incline to the view that for the present call money would not get above this week's figures. The highest rate for call money accommodations, 9 per cent, was reached on Monday. Subsequently the rate gradually eascd off and closed at 4 per cent, only !ll[h()g Above the lowest figure. Notwithstanding the high rates for call money Krw alling through the week exchange ruled llrk“l showing that imports of gold were un- ely The Vanderbilts were strong, New York Cen- tral making the extreme rise of nearly § polnts. ~Atchison preferred and Union Paaific referred were bettered to the extent of about . Among the specialties there were irregulari- ties, Brooklyn Transit, on fresh acquisitions of contiguous lines, rose 12 points. The . transactions in +Brooklyn Transit were nearly three-fifths of a million shares and the activity apd interest in this stock was spread over nearl§ the whole week. Sugar was second in activity, nearly half a million shares being dealt in, the ‘bulk of which was in the early part_of the week, 200,000 changing hands on Monday at the highest quotation in the stock’s history; 182 was reached. The stock fluctuated wildly down and up, 154 being the lowest, and closing with & net loss of 11 points.

NEW YORK, March 25.—The Financler says: The changes in the totals of the New York bank statement for the current week are meaningless, judged In the ordinary sense, for | the reason that the totals include the Astor National, a new clearing merber, and the Hudson River and Astor Place banks, which, now cleared through the parent institution. The new banks carry average deposits of about $6,233,000 and loans of over $7,000,000 and the | statement must have been affected by an amount nearly as large. although the Corn Exchange totals do not indicate the full change. Of course, the new banks carry a full reserve, that the position of the remaining banks was not materfally altered, but to -get at the real operations of the clearing house Institu- tions It 1s necessary to deduct at least $6,000,000 both in loans and deposits. On this basis, the expansion of $5,030,000 In loans, as compared with the previous week, means that there has been a slight decrease in the actual discounts of the banks whose totals have been hereto- fore reported. The same result holds good in deposits, for the increase of $3,339.000 does not equal the addition of the Astor National's to- tal of $4,000,000, to say nothing of the deposits of the other two banks added. i It will be seen, therefore, that the deposit labilities of the regular clearing house banks were materially reduced last week, as were the loans. Reserves ought to have shown a cor- responding galn, but the increase in cash was only a third of a million, and as the deposit | expansion called for about $860,000 additional requirement, the actual decrease in reserves was $518,750. Perhaps a more accurate way to get at the position of the banks is to say that thirteen of the sixty-three banks are now be- low the 25 per cent reserve rule, as agalnst twenty-five for the previous week. A state- | ment, with factors described eliminated, shows | that the position of the banks has been rather strengthened. The routine operations with the treasury for the week resulted in a loss of something like $1,500,000 to the banks, but the gain from the inferior served in large part to offset this. The totals have been influenced somewhat by the payments made {n completing a large industrial deal LONDON MARKET. NEW TYORK, March 25.—The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cable says: The markets here were idle to-day. Interest was centered on the university boat race, which was extensively bulletined in the house. Americans were firm, closing at the best. Louisville & Nashville was prominent. Rio Tintos were 1 1-16 barder. Other coppers were neglected. CLOSING. Canadian Pacific, 5§%; Northern Pacific pre- ferred, 80%: Unlon Pacific preferred, 83%; Grand Truni, $%. Bar Silver dull, 27%d.

Before the bulls could get a ‘word In edgewlse the price slid off to 63%c. The bulls soon found their volces, however, When the bulls got through with the last bar of the opening chorus May wheat was up to 70%c. Much milder weather and a spread of Wet snow for a large section of the winter wheat area was the chief cause of the first decline. Re- ports of damage in the Southwest received con- firmation from numerous sources and in many ipstances the extent of injury was reported sensationally heavy. A London cablegram re- ported this season’s Indian wheat crop 7% per- cent smaller than that of last year. Another cold spell was announced to be elbowing its way down from the Northwest. As soon as the Weather Bureau notice was issued the shouting The expected has happened in regard to Hay. The first market since Monday was held ves- terday, when the accumulation of five days arrivals was offered. There were 100 cars and 10 schooners, making about 1600 tons in all.
