Sharp declines were likewise je by American Tobacco and the iron and eteel shares : Government c port was at Brst favorably received, but iater the de- Crease in acreage was pointed out a dis- couraging factor, with a resultant depressing effect asy upon the grangers. Money ruled fairly aad steriing exchange receded on the an- nouncement that all the needed exchange had been secured for the settiment of the Spanish indemnity. Another influence on the exchange market was the enormous purchases of stocks for foreign account, which aggregated about 200,000 shares, only a tenth of which were re- sold on the announcement of Mr. Flower's death. The deposit of the final £,000,000 war- rant for the Spanish Indemnity with a loc 1 bank, which was announced for Monday, w. expected to be reflected in a continued im- provement in next week's bank statement.

The gain in cash, | however, as reported Saturday, was only abou millions and the ix eight and a quarter in deposits less than two millions. The: a shrinkage In loans of $5.55.700, and th fect o° the changes noted was to Increase the surplus reserve $7,785,675 Thus the statement seems far out of ce, even from an average standpoint, when it is taken under details, interesting | facts are disclosed. The National City Bank, | as the agent through which Spain's payment was made, gained almost fifteen and a half millions in deposits, its cash increase was al- | most as great and its loan expansion about two a half millions. This seems logical in | of the known fi and it is also ap- | parent that in the totals of the remaining { banks must be sought the changes that make he statement confusing. The result is not ! satisfactory, for the real operations of the t colncide with the showing thus made. system of averages employed Is doubtless responstble’ for the diserepancy, and it is mlso responsible for another fact which gives an unfavorable tinge to the exhibit. The erve carried by all the banks for the week ending May 13 equals 25 per cent of their | deposits, as against 27.1 per cent for the previ- ous w 1f the National City Bank totals, including the heavy gains, are separated, it becomes apparent that the other banks inthe & house are carrving a reserve of less i per cent, indicating a more restricted swer. AS a matter of fact, the real con- Aition of the banks does not warrant this con- clusion. The outlook is rather toward easier money.
