NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The response of {he stock market to the shock of a poor bank statement served as evidence of the large maz- &inal holdinge of stocks that must etill remain in the market. The nervousness disclosed by the prospect of further withdrawals of credits from the stock market by the banks could hardly be Gue 1o others than those holding stock on margins on borrowed money. None of the best equipped financial authorities could pretend to explain the showing made by the banks. The shifting of loans due to the week's syndicate’operations may be supposed to haye offset the large liguidation in the stock market and thus sccount for the expanded loan ac- count of the banks. But the conjecture is at & lose to account for the disappearance of the £ain of $5,000,000 in cash reserves as the result of the receipt cf foreign %old during the week. The small gain in the net deposit also fails to “prove” with the changes in the loan and re- serve fteme. | The statement showed the stand- ing of surplus with the exemption of reserve allowed acainst Government devosits as well @ without that exemption. But the present policy of the banks of not encroaching upon the reserves mgainst Government deposits has been 50 clearly shown as to leave little comfort for speculators in the hope of a resort to that relief. There was some large selling before the appearance of bank statement, which was attributed to a Ifrge operator who was u selier at different times during the week, but the weiling at the last was quite promiscuou:, the putting out of short lines by pro- traders. was general rther loan eonxnn.lo- by the banks 1o be expected.

In one form the deposits were ted plus tfose of United States funds, whieh amounted 10 $40,633,400; in the other formn the latter were | deducted from the net deposits. The computa- | tion made upon the first named basis showed a decrease of $201,850 in surplus reserve, carrying this item to $1,527,350. The computation upon the basis of the United States deposits deducted from the pit Scposita shoped « decresag In ro- serve of $325,525. to $11,685,700, this reserve i the previous week having been §12,011,525, ' The loans of the banks were increased $2, ), | probably the result in part of syndicate opera- tions during the week. The cash showed a net decrease of §250,700, specle having been aug- mented $1,068,300, while legal tenders fell oft $1,319,000. " This net loss of cash, notwithstand- {ing the large traceable receipts during the week, can scarcely be accounted for on the theory of averages, and, therefore, the loss is somewhat inexplicable. ' It seems almost cer- | tain, however, that considering the fact that | receipts were 'largest after the middle of the week the banks were better supplied with cash than appeared by the statement. Net deposits increased only $164,600, or $1,929,900 less than the amount called for by the increase in loans less the met loss of cash. The deposits, which were separately stated in the return for the purpose of making computations on the new basis, showed a decrease of $185,000.

The vield is said be from one-haif to two-thirds less than last year, owing to dry weather. The receipts last week were extremely large, being 76,141 sks. Regarding the difference between the Cali- fornia and Eastern Bean, local dealers say that the California Bean' is fully as strong and much lighter in color, as the Bastern Bean ls darkened by_the damp atmosphere where it is grown. ~The Eastern Bean lIs ‘cleaner than the California Bean, however, and It is hand-vicked. pebgas are higher, as the market is practically re.

Apricots are selling freely and good Moorparks are already reported practically cleaned up. There is also more inquiry for choice Evapo- rated Apples. Prunes are about the quietest fruit, and even they are showing an increased demand. The enormous sales early in the sum- mer satisfled the usual preliminary demand, and the late buying has not yet begun.

The feeling among packers and local dealers is that the January and May stuff is about low enough. Expectation of low- priced corn becoming less, there is less seiling pressure on these deferred futures. We think January and May provisions may be pretty safely bought on the weak spots.” This market was unchanged, Hams and Ba- con being scarce and firm and Lard plentiful and weak.
