Cal AnUnhealthy Hai BANKS REPORT LARGE SURPLUS Statement by Associated In- stitutions Shows Remark- able Increase in Deposits e Ayl L A NEW YORK, Feb. ~The Finan- cier says: One feature of the state- ment of the New York Associated | Banks last week was the gain of $4,- 00 in c an amount $878,600 reater than that ich wi ima- | 3 ceful | A an that which was estima- | oytbreak of hostilitles, that a peaceful | gitions for proof of the contention that ted from the traceable movements of money during the week, and the total holdings are now the highest ever re- ported. Another feature was the high record for specie holdings by the banks, these being $21,400,000 larger than the highest previous amount, which was $195,800,400, February 9, 1901. Still another feature was the new high record for the year in sur- plus reserve. SURPLUS OF $41,840,675. The discrepancy between the in- crease in cash as officially reported and that which was estimated was probably due to the average for one day_of a transfer hither of $625,000 gold from San Francisco on Friday and also to the return of some of the money which was sent to Baltimore a fortnight ago, which return move- ment was unrecorded in the estimates. The deposits were decreased by the comparatively small sum of $105,200, and the required reserve was thereby reduced by $26,300; this amount added to the increase fn cash made $4,643,000 as the gain in surplus re- serve to $32,150,200. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $38,- 761,900 public funds, the surplus is $41,840,675. It is noteworthy that the Govern- ment deposits increased during the week by $764,400, making $1,868,600 since the first week in February, re- flecting the concentration in the spe- cially designated depositories at New York of deposits which have already been withdrawn from country institu- tions in anticipation of the call for the surrender of 20 per cent of the public funds. LOANS DECREASE. Loans decreased $4,229,700 last week, making a reduction of $9,360,- 890 in the fortnight, indicating the light inquiry for Stock HExchange re- quirements and the partial satisfac- tion of the demand from syndicate and corporation borrowers; the circulation decreased $332,300. The statement showed a good proof, the sum of the decrease in loans and in deposits being $282,400 less than the increase in cash. The daily average of clearings for the five days was $178,000,000, or the same as for the six davs of the pre- vious week; the clearings on Saturday, reflecting Friday's business, were $176,853,917, or below the average. The statement was made up on rising averages for cash and therefore this week's return should show an increase in this item. But with the inquiry for loans, small as it is now and is likely to be in the near future, increases in cash tend to intensify.the monetary congestion. Comparisons of changes in loans show that six banks reduced this item by $2.300,000 net; the cash in eight banks increased by $3,900,000 net. —— e ————— Policeman Secures a Divorce.

The tone of the stock market during the week has been hesitating and irreg- | ular, Thursday’s sharp recovery serv- ling to bring prices back almost exactiy | to where they left off on Saturday last. | Conditions affecting values have not perceptibly changed, the influences which have depressed prices remaining ii" force. The market, however, has shown signs of being oversold, and the | day-to-day traders have been keenly alive to signs that the decline in prices had reached a point sufficlent to offset the conditions which brought it about. The borrowing demand for stocks on | the Stock Exchange showed the build- | ing up of a considerable short interest where demand to cover contracts might | be relied upon to effect a rally in prices whenever conclusive evidence should appear that the genuine selling had de- | creased so far as to promise mo hope; | of & further decline. The foreign situa- | tion has had a dominating inflaence | | upon the domestic stock market, and | the troubled markets abroad have kept alive the depression here. Total sales of bonds, par value, $410,- j trading indicated that the market is | awaiting some new development to give ! (an initiative to prices. The fact that | another decision day of the Supreme | | Court is imminent, with a decision in | ! the Northern Securities case possibly to | | be handed down, aggravated the dull- ness. The beginning of the Paris stock | | market settlement is another motive | for a waiting attitude in the securities | market. The London market was prac- | | tically stagnant in response to this in-/ . Pennsylvania's response to the | annual report was an advance of one- | | eighth, and Reading closed unchanged | in spite of the heavy decrease in the. The bank statement revealed a larger | | gain in cash than indicated by the pre- | | liminary estimates, but speculative sen- | | timent would be more encouraged were | | there evidence of a more active use of | loans was not clearly explained, unless | | by a report that some of the clearing- | | house banks have intimated to trust . companies their disinclination to carry | | heavy deposits at 2 per cent.

How the Pastor Saved a Life. A man near Fort Gay, W. Va., made | an entire failure in getting strength from the kind of food he ate, and, not knowing that the trouble was with the food, kept on losing health until the doctors gave him up to die. It was supposed to be consumption, because he was wasting away steadily and slowly dying. His minister called from time to time and one day brought along a package of Grape-Nuts, think- ing from what he knew of the famous food that perhaps it might help him. ! The sick man took to it at once and from that day began to get well. In writing he says: “I walked to town to-day, three miles. Have gained over forty pounds in about two months and my neigh- bors don't know what to say. I fre- quently am told it was as if T am raised from the dead. Everybody here knows of my case, you can tell people to write to the postmaster or Rev. L. D. Bryan. 1 will make a sworn state- ment that Grape-Nuts saved my life. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. This is another illustration that where all other food fails one can be brought back to health and strength on Grape-Nuts, “There’s a reason.” Look in each package for the fam- ous little book, “The Road to Well- ville.” to lift it toward the gold export point. | | lent decline in the Russian industrial| ,¢ine efciency ! out. on call. i clined to wait for better weather con- impaired oper- extreme cold snow blockades and from | and Government securities, which are | ..ther are responsible for all of the held in a great volume both in France | gacjine in the present volume of traf- | and Germany, involved heavy losses | g. and forced liquidation in other securl- | grain rates, both on Western lines and readier | o, the trunk lines, is a cause of anx- market.

The market is considering the ne- cessity of an adjustment also to a pos- sible great strike in the soft coal re- gions owing to the radical difference in the claims of the miners for an in- crease in wages and of operators for the necessity of a reduction. Money on call is extremely easy, largely owing to the almost stagnant condition of the stock market, but of- fering of loans have become less abundant. nguid demand for money outside.of railroad borrowing and the falling off in the volume of the bank clearings are regarded with some misgivings as possible indications of decreased business activity. The pos- sible delay in the settlement of the Panama payments will disarrange plans already effected for an early completion of that operation, but has caused no fear of embarrassment thus far. The continued lack of moisture in the Southwestern wheat fleld has beeny a subject of attention, but with- appreciable effect thus far on prices of stocks. The bond market has been dull and irregular in sympathy with stocks. United States bonds were unchanged ————————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST President Issues Commissions to Post- masters in California, Idaho and ‘Washington—Army Orders.
