The depletion of $10,420,050 in the sur- reserve still leaves that item at 4,200, compared with $10,029,625 on this date last year, and $3,461,000 two years 2go. The feature of the financial mnrkels this week has been the abundance and cheapness of money and the neglect, verging en stagnation, of the market for securities. discouraging to thg professional traders have almost nbanduned their efforts. The extreme ease which has develop- ed in the world's money markets since the Panama payment first came up for consideration has prevented any disturbance. The placing of the New York City bond Issue, the largest single block ever offered by the city, equally without disturbing effect on the market. The issue price of these was low compared with the issues, but the advance in the price over the preceding issue was re- garded as indicating a turn for the better in the outlook for investment demand. The placing of half of the $50,000,000 Japanese loan in New York is taken as evidence in the same di- | rection, and the details of the Russian loan in Paris define -another of the uncertainties before the financial world. Receipts of Japanese gold con- tinue to relieve the drain on gold ex- ports to Paris, and currency from the fnterior continues to accumulate in New York banks. clining business activity is an im- portant factor in causing the halt in the securities market. Dissatisfaction | with the iron and steel trade outlook is an important influence on the preva- lence of dullness and hesitation of spec- | ulations. Railroad earnings, both gross and net. reflect the falling off in traf- | fic from last year's level and the high Atchison system had some slight ef- | | fect. The formal statement by E. H. Harriman of his hopeful views of the | business and industrial outlook in the | West and Southwest had a sustaining | | result in the market. | The tone of the bond market has been | rather better than stocks. | States 3s registered have declined % | the 3s coupon, the 2s and the old 4s % | and the new 4s % per cent. on call during the week. ——— e —— ‘( ASH HOLDINGS OF BANKS IS REDUCED BY $6,083,800 | [Su\m;m-nl Issued for the Week Shows | Most Remarkable Records for Loans and Deposits. NEW YORK, May 7.—The Fmanclel | says: The striking features of the state- | ment of the New York Associated' | Banks last week were still higher and most remarkable records for loans and deposits, also an unusually large reduc- | tlon in surplus reserves. Loans were expanded $21,393,200, reflecting, as in| previous weeks, extensive corporation | and syndicate borrowing. holdings of these banks was reduced {‘by $6,083,800, which reduction closely corresponds with the average losses re- | sulting from the movement of gold to Europe during the fortnight, less the average of the amount of the Japanese | gold which was transferred hither from | San Francisco last week. Deposits were | increased by $17,345,000, which amount | is $2,035,600 greater than the sum of | increase in loans, less the decrease in! cash; consequently the statement does not balance. The required reserve was augmented through the increase in de- | posits by $4,336,250, which sum added to the loss of cash makes $10,420,050 as . | the decrease in surplus reserve to $2: 4,200. Computed upon the basis.of de- sits, less those of $56,007,400 public | funds. the surplus is $36,748,550.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, May 7.— Carroll D. ‘Wright, Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor, has undertaken in a bulletin which has just been issued to throw | light on the increased cost of living in 1903 over the preceding thirteen years. The first table shows that the average relative prices of all com- modities were higher in 1903 than at any time since and including 1880. | Farm products reached the lowest av-| erage in 1808 and the highest in 1902; clothes and clothing were lowest in {13897 and highest in 1890; fuel and light- Ing were lowest in 1894 and highest in 1903; metal and implements were low- | est in 1898 and highest in 1900; lumber | and building material were lowest in 1897 and highest In 1893. Raw commodities and manufactured commodities have been separated for examination. In the group designated as “raw"” are included all | farm products, beans, coffee, eggs, milk, rice, nutmegs, pepper, tea, veg- etables, raw silk, wool, lead, pigiron, bar silver, spelter, pig tin, brimstone, ' jute and rubber, a total of fifty ar- ticles. Manufactured commodities ad- vanced to a level only exceeded in the year 1880. They were higher by 21.5 per cent than in 1897, by 11 per cent than in 1899 and about 1 per cent higher than in 1892. The statistics show a decrease in the price of beef from 1902, but the relative price compared with the period in 1880 shows an in- crease In cattle of 4.7 ver cent. Drug prices were much higher in 1903.
