The rise 18 based on the importance of afford- s opportunity for the digestion of the - =upply of stocks by the investment which is the only true final support market. Such & process of digestion invarfably interrupts from time to time any long nued advance in prices. If it s ac- complished without any considerable setback in prices and the investment demand is unim- puired, professional buyers come back into the market and take on large holdings again, and wiih the floating supply of stocks thus re- duced, find it easy to advance prices to a still higher Jevel, when they find it safe to sell out and take their profits again. This sequence of events may be repeated indefinitely. It 1s inevitable | that prices should thus be carried above the level of intrinsic value, with the re- sult of & constantly increasing pressure to sell, the inside investment holders, seeing the stock selling for more than it is worth, jolning with the less-informed speculative operator to un- ioad their holdings.

NEW YORK, April 7.—The Financler says: | The statement of the Assoclated Banks of | New York, issued April 7, is remarkable for its | variation from known facts rather than for any | influence it will have on the current money | market. In the first place figures prove that the treasury last week was a debtor to the clearing-house institutions for about $4,000,000, | and operations with the interior resulted in gain of at least one milllon additional. of showing the effect of these additions to cash | he statement reveals a gain of les: an two and one-half millions in specie and | an actual loss of three-quarters of a million in | legals. In other words, the banks gained less than one and three-quarter milllons during the week: Assuming this to have been the case, the weekly exhibit becomes immediately logical. The expansion in loans, coupled with the slight e im cash, accounts for an expansion of 00 in deposits, and as the latter call for an exira reserve of 3,669,700, the actual surplus Is reduced $1,931,350, which is' entirely different from lations indicated. There is no method of analysis by which this conflicting | showing can be explained.

The banks have added $43 to circulation, bringing the total to $20,574,500.

CHICAGO, April 7.—Corn opened weak, but found some friends after a -concession of about half a cent from yesterday's closing figure. They held it up and gradually forced it up a shade over yesterday, but these were not strong enough to hold the advantage. There was a bearish element at work in the pit, and considerably emboldened by the report that certain heavy longs were ready to reap their harvest of profits, brought considerable pressure to the selling side. There were those who thought the market much too broad to be in- fluenced by a single heavy speculator, or even 2 coterfe of them, one student of the situation remarking that the great American steers and hogs were running to corn a great deal this season. Some reports made country accept- ances over night freerer, while others sald the farmers will still be disposed to keep the coarse grain in their own cribs. Liverpool was lower for futures, but firm for spot. Balti- more reported 250,000 bushels accepted by the other side. May opened %c down at 39%@d0c, advanced to 40%c and then reacted to 39%ec, closing steady, %@4c down at 39%@d0c. Trade was active at times, but the volume of business showed a falling off from recent quantities. Wheat was dull and weak. Shorts had their eyes on the action of corn, but the gencral at- titude ‘was bearish and it told In the end. The cash demand was poor and the supply un the floor generally was over the demand. The market took a brace following the open- ing In sympathy with corn, but promptly weakened when the big cereal reacted. The epeculative trade was light. New York re- ported five loads taken for export. Seaboard clearances in wheat-flour were equal to 850,000 bushels. May opened unchanged at €6%@66%c, de- clined to G6%c, reacted with corn to 66%c and then broke to 66l4c, at which the market closed, %@%c under yesterday. The provision market was firm and fairly ac- tive in spite of the grain easiness and lower prices at the yards. A good demand for pack- | ers, together Wwith fear of the rise in ribs, the supply of which is light, were the factors. In- terest was keenly centered in May ribs. Shorts were Very nervous. May ribs closed 10c over yesterday at $7 02%. May pork closed 2'c up at $12 70 and May lard 2lc better at $6 60. There was considerable profit-taking through- out the session. The oats market followed corn. The specu- lative market was tame. May closed %o lower at 24%c. The leading futures ranged as follow: ARTICLES. Open. | High. | Low. |Close.
