The quieter cotton market had an influence in the recovery in stocks. The estimates of the bank statement based on the known movements of currency also seemed to have a calming ef- fect. The subtreasury vesterday took more thau a million doilars from the market again, bringing its absorption for the week up to $6, 123,000. This probably about measures the loss of the banke, as the interior movement was about evenly balanced. But last week's bank statement understated the loss by cash by near- 1y _$3,000,000. The large liquidation in the stock market points to extensive loan coniraction and it Is known that large credits have been secured abroad during the week, but the local loan op- erations have been to some extent a_mere shift- ing from one borrower to another. The late re- | covery in stocks, however, pointed to some re- covery of confidence in the money situation. German Banking houses in the city were large lenders to-day, and sterling exchange was weak under good offerings of loan bills. i at exports for the week increased $34,000 shels and corn exports Increased 1,448,000 bustels. Dry goods imports fell $1,204,613 be- low those of last week. United States Steel bonds sold as low as §7% (when issued), or hin a_fraction of parity with the preferred stock.
