u«un Scatrment,
New York, Aprll8-The associated banks
make the following aUtoment lor the weok
ending today:
Reserve, increase $ 992,850
Loan*, increase 684,800
Specie, increase 916,800
Legal tenders, increase 829,100
Deposits, increase.'. 8,008,203
Circulation, increase 67,300
The banxs now hold in excess of the
reqninieute of the 25 per cent. rule.SI3,929,925
Reviewing the above, the Financier
Fays: "The ertatement reflects tn part
some of the buaines* incident to the usual
quarterly interest payments and' settle
ments. 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*

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

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.
