NEW YORK, March 17.—The Financler says: | “The associated banks of New York lost $,- | 825,700 cash last week, as the outcome of their | operaticns with the treasury and the interior. but this decrease, instead of coming alto- gether out of surplus reserve as has been the case for a month or more past, was partially made up by reduced reserve requirements, { traceable to lower deposits. The statement | was a surprise in several respects, the calling | In of $11311.40 of loans furnishing an example in this respect. To what influence the shrink- | age in loans is due is rather a difficult prob- lem to answer, but as more than half the de- crease originated with one large bank, through which the twenty million Standard Ofl divi- dend was paid, it is quite probable that the incident named had more or less to do with the change In the combined showing. The re- | | tunding of bonds, involving as it does some complicated operations, possibly flgures in | the same connection. As a result of the outgo of cash and trade expansion in loans, deposits | fell off $15,243,000. This of itself reduced re- serve requirements $3,885,750. The excess funds in bank are now $2,686,425 ahove the 25 per cent limit, but the fact that exchange at interior cities is hardening fore- shadows not only a cessation of the flow of money from New York, to the local supply. The most interesting problem just now concerns the issue of new note_circulation. The only expansion looked for here at present is the 10 per cent extra granted on existing amounts outstanding | Bankers expect that the new notes will trickle into circulation slowly and not come in & flood, as has been predicted. There is a preva- | lent ‘impressfon that a test of the new law | possibilities will not be afforded until the d mande of the crop season are felt. Corres. pondence with country bankers indicates a movement toward additional circulation, both by old and new banks, but on the other hand many conservative institutions have improved the, opportunity to sell their old bonds at prices | that gave them as much profit as they would | have realized on circulation for one year or | more. according to prices paid for the bonds originally. London Market. NEW YORK, March 17.—The Commercial Ad- | | vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were busy to-day celebrat- ing St. Patrick’s day. Otherwise they were idle, but the tone was hard on the reported collapse of the Free State resistance. It Is hoped that the Transvaalers will follow suit. The war loan was at 11-16d premium. The allotment is expected on Wednesday. Americans were very quiet, but no moves were upward. Paris strongly supported Tintos, which rose one. The bank bought £30,000 gold im bars. . Money was a shade easier. Half of the large amount due the bank was repaid. CLOSING.

Liverpool showed a good advance, following the gain in prices here yesterday, but the chief factor for the time being was the con- | tinued cold weather in the winter Wheat belt rowing conviction among traders that foxt ‘week wouid be marked by @ flood of crop damage reports and a_corresponding advance in the price of Wheat. May opened at 67%@67%c, an advance of w@W4c over yesterday's close. This advance was sufficient for many holders, and realizing sales caused a temporary setbacl May reacting to 67%c, with considerable Wheat changing hands at those figures. Then the market again turned upward, and for the re- malinder of the short session buyers were largely in the majority. During the last hour of trad- ing a new and decidedly influential factor de- veloped in the engagement for export of 404.000 bushels here and 43 loads at the seaboard, while | foreigners were good buyers of futures. May Wheat reacted to 6ic, and at the close was in demand at 673@67%¢. Corn was firm the opening and at the close, with some weakness intervening. Con- | siderable activity was shown all day.
