The expansion in loans, while slight, is yet a favorable Indication and In contrast with the sharp declines noted during the previous weeks wtien tho hunks were calling in their money to pro tect their reserves. The money market for the pn®t week was quiet and interest quotations fell off a trifle, but the expansion In loans shown Indicates tftat rotes will be fairly main tained. The rescinding of bank rules Axing the minimum Interest Tates on country bal ances. notably at Chicago, has been in* terprefed that money is in great demand, but until there lsj>roof that every ban* llve^ > to the agreement an the first pises the action cannot ba called afpnW* cant. The advancing rates In New Tone «Md. however, result In heavier Interior The kirge expansion in net receipts was the result of the disbursements noted above. Comparing the deposit Increase with the showing made In the statement made one y*mr ug*>, the current week's exhibit is only one-half as large as re ported then. The Increase In specie and legal lenders makes the net gain In cash $1,744,900 and the Increase in deposits ex plains where K cams from. i I COTTON. • f- Macon, April 12. The Macon market for spot cotton is firm at the following quotationa- Oood Middling 0% Middling 6*4 Strict Low Middling r»; low Middling 6% Good Ordinary Ordinary —— Clean Htaina 6% to 0% Red Stains —* local iKrrtrrs. 4s unusually small. And there is a strong Impression chat the acreage under cot ton In America will be very much re* duced after chls season, planters seeing that there *s less profit to be muds out of a heavy crop at low prices man vui vf a smaller one which may thmmand better figures. With the decay of the mrnu- facture of the lower counts of yarns In Lancashire, the d>etnard for short staple coOton has necessarily de'ttned and sup plies whftrfi in former years were justly considered rihont, probably now bear a much better proportion to the consumers’ demand. Th* quantity of Indian cotton which reaches tlhls country Is thuch smaller than a few years ago, the bulk being re tained for home manufacture or sent to China or Japan, wWJe much more Egyp tian notion is absorbed dlrevHly by the East than was formerly the case. The Chronicle states that the weaifher in the South during the week has bee.*? favorable as a rule; that planting Is pro gressing very well Xn many districts, but rot so well advanced as last year, and that advices from southern Texas and other points indlcaJfie that early plan tings are coming up. The exports from the ports thus far this season are 6.880.976 bales, against 4,f*56,662 thus far last season. In Now York prices for some cotton goods have advanced during the past week CHICAGO GlTAlN. Chicago, April 13.—For May \Vheat 65 cents appears to suit the trade very well. Notwithstanding extraordinary efforts to advance the price, as well as determined selling to depress U during the past two weeks that quotation remains the aver age. Today there was a fair trade for a Saturday, although the lack of foreign news prevented decided Action either way. Holders of aalla were always In evidence when a Shadow of a profit was obtainable on their privileges and the of ferings on that account held values In check. May wheat opened at ad vanced to 6514. dotting at 65-H of a cent hJgher than Thursday. Oasrti wheat was steady. Corn.—Persistent pounding of the July option in corn imparted weakness bo all other months as well today. A promi nent professional was the aggressor, the’ weakness cringing out a good amount of long stuff. Partridge was said to have parted with some of his holdings, too. Th~ strong and undisputed firmness of wheat was without avail In sustaining cam, which seemed to follow an Inde pendent course. May corn opened nt 4094. sold between 45% and 45*4, closing at tho looter—% of a cent under Thursday. Cash corn warn weak and % a cent lower. Oats.—The firmness of wheat was Influ ential In determining the tone of oats early, but the hard spot was a tempta tion to holders and they unloaded liber ally toward the close, values naturally re ceiving a set back from the pressure. There wa« nothing taken from store. May oat* closed H of a cent lower than Thursday. Cash oats were quatably %a% of a cent per bushel lower. Provisions—Produces made a very poor record today. A general expression of dissatisfaction with the volume of trade was heard. Price* were called steady, simply because the offerings and the de mand were both so unimportant. Before the close some moderate covering pur chases lifted prices a trifle, but no sig nificance attached to the foot. May pork gained 5 cents for the day, Stay lard 6 to 714 cents higher and "May ribs 2*4a5 cents higher. FUTURE QUOTATIONS.
