Colorady Fuel was lifted 29 above yesterday's close, but dealings were up in the other metal tocks except Amalgamated Copper, which showed momentary etrength. There was ome renewal of the recent demand for international stocks, but material advances were confined to 1 cific Coast common and the second preferred, Westinghouse Electric, Minneapolis and St Loule and Pacific Mail, the latter being bought On expectations of a renewed contract with the Panama Railroad. Publication of the bank Hatement, showing a cash loss of nearly $0,- 000,000, which more than doubled the prelim- inary estimates, started selling of the general list.” Prices, however, did not yleld much cx- cept in some of the stocks which bad notably advanced earlier and there was no decided pressure at any point. Some satisfaction was felt at the loan reduction of $3,000,000, this being the first in nearly two months. The im- mense cash loss was quite generally attribut- €d to the vagaries of the bank average system. With surplus reserves down to less than $4,- 000,000 and the gold export movement un- checked, the opinion naturally prevalls that Pigher money rates are imminent. The stock market closed active and easy. There has been some movement of prices of stocks during the week, but it was by no means consistent and was not well held, the market showing a tendency to return to its former level, whether from advances or de- The money markes situation was the cause of uncasiness, which became rather acute during the midweek. This was due to the calliffg of twenty per cent of the syndi- cate subscriptions to the San Francisco Trac- tion merger and the announcement that remit- tances would be made to San Francisco through the sub-treasury by telegraphic trans- ter. This would mean the withdrawal of money from the New York market for deposit at the sub-treasury and its payment into the San Francisco market from the sub-treasury there, an operation which the Government's bringing the make convenient at the Treasury Department. Wazll street was mystified in the meantime by the inquiry at Washington by New York bank- ers as to facilities for transferring in this way £50,000,000 to $50,000,000. This threat- ened an inroad upon New York reserves be- yond anything calculated up to this time and fromised a serious situation, in view of the low-level of the surplus reserves of the banks and the other requirements for gold exports, which had to be met. The equanimity of the speculative mind was somewhat upset in con- sequence and prices were inclined to give way. They recovered when it was announced that the San Francisco remittances had been ar- ranged tarough the regular exchange market and would be settled without an actual move- ment of cash, which those interested In ex- change banking seemed desirous of avold'ng. This eplscde seemed mainly responsible for the principal price movement of the week. The sensitiveness of the market to the condition of money reserves is perfectly reasonable. With the loan and ‘deposit items of the banks at higher figures than ever before, the emall surplus represents an even smaller proportion of actual reserves than is indicated by the actual reserve. In fact, under the system of computation by averages used by the Clearing House banks with figures such as those now involved in deposits and reserves, the present surplus reserves of the banks must be regard- ¢d as a purely nominal one and subject to change either side of the line of legal reserve limit from day to day in the cash syndicate an operations on the scale now become fam- fliar to the New York market. It may easily be an intimate knowledge of the condition of these large syndicate loans is the reason for the unrutfied placidity of the money market i face of nominal showing by the banks. The Liquidation of even onme Individual syndicate might put a different face upon the whole money situation over night. The powerful combinations which have kept close upon the available credits gf the market since the first of the year have every Intention in conserving the quietude and steadiness of the money mar- ket and are possessed Of €NOTMOUS Tesources for doing so. The New York money market, however, 18 by no means exempt from the in- fluences of forelgn markets, by reason of large obligations still outstanding as a result of enormous purchases of American _securities from foreign holders in last year's struggle for control of transcontinental = rallrond gys- teme. As a consequence, the requirements by one forelgn center upon another for trans- ferring gold can be shifted upon New York. That s what is being done now by London to mect_the demands of Paris upon that certer. The Lordon Statist estimates that London is jndebted to Continental money markets to @ sum of $300,000,000 in short-time loans, of New York - THE COAST RECORD. E 2 FiF H ETATIONS. £2E £ 'y % 2 B .

The purpose of the Bank of England o keep control of the London money market end keep up the money rate there 0 ax to protect that market against withdrawals of capital is therefore easily explicable, the more #0 as the end of the British fiscal year is approaching and provision must be made for enother large loan to meet the requirements of the coming year. The Bank of France also has accumulated the largest stock of gold ever held In its vaults, notwithstanding ~the Gullness of French trade and industry, indicaf ing preparation for some future special di mand upon its resources. The situation sup- plements other factors admonishing toward caution and conservatism In_the speculative employment of capital. The Northern Securi- ties Company case is an ever present factor in Wall street consideration. The season of uncertainty over the country's crop is always cne of normal dullness in its speculation and there remain many labor problems for the coming year to be worked out. ‘Bonds have shown some decrease from re- cent activity, but the level of prices was well maintained.

Reserves, $228, 88,972,000, Reserve required, $251,416,675; d crease, 82,055,400, Surplus, $3,058,425; decrease, $6,017,500. The Financler says: The statement of the New York Associated Banks this week' shows @ loss of $8,972,000 cash, of which 87,904,000 was specle and $1,008,000 legal tenders. loss of cash, $3,539,900. This, however, did not include the average of the loss resuiting from the ship- ments of gold to Europe, February 27, nor the average of one-sixth of the amount shipped on Saturday last. These averages together amount- ed to $2,100,000. The entire amount exported on Thursday of this week seems to have been in- cluded in the official statement. Adding to the estimated loss of $3,830,900, as above, the $2,100,000 averages of the shipments on Feb- ruary 28, and on March 8, would make $5,030,- 900. " The difference between this sum and the loss of cash gfficially reported in the state- ment, or §3,08,000, i probably due to an un- recorded moyément of money out of the institu. tions either” to near by or to distant points. The loans of the banks show a_decrease of $3,089,100. This is the first time since January 11 that a decrease has been recorded in this item, The deposits were reduced $11,821,600, which amount is only $240,400 less than the aggregate of the loss of loans and of cash; hence the re- turn harmonizes. The striking feature of the statement was the loss in surplus reserve. This was_reduced by $6,017,500 to $3,958,435, or $6,758,850 below the surplus at the correspond- ing period a year ago. It Is noteworthy that the above is the lowest amount of surpius re- corded_since October 20, 1900, when It was $2,947,700; and also that on March 17 of that year the reserve was $2,686,425. The net loss of specie by eight of the Wall-street banks was $6,100,000. The most important changes in loans were shown by five of the larger banks, which lost $5,200,000 net. Condition of the Treasury. WASHINGTON, March 8.—To-day's state- ment of the Treasury balances in the general fund, exclusive of the $150,000,000 gold reserve in the division of redemption, shows: Avail- aire cash balance, $179,212,377; goid, = §03,- T70,586.
