W New York, Sept. 16.—Lust week’, deficit of 36,000,000 In bank reserve.1 waa, according to anticipations, con- alderably more than wiped out In to- day’11 return*. Yet the figures fall abort o( ahowtng the week's gain in caah. Specie holdings are up 38,025,- 000, legal tenders down 392,200, and the combined result la again less by 36,000,000 than yeaterday, preliminary estimates suggested. Tho statement, of course, (alia by a long way to record the full strength of the local banking position. Correction of the error Is, as usual, left until next week. Loans, however, thanks to the Inpouring of foreign and out-of-town credit, have decreased 315,000,000, and an Increase of 310,114,000 Is thereby shown In the surplus Item. The market during th* two hours of today’s business was ex tremely Irregular ond showed rather heavier profit-taking than It had yes- terday. Union Pacific, Atchison, the Steels and Copper were freely sold all the morning. But to offset this, Read ing was marked up nonrly 4 points further and Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania were kept very strong. After the appearance of tho bank state ment prices were shaded pretty gener ally, but the presence of a powerful support was apparent In the closing dealings nnd prices at tho end were again pointing strongly upward. New York, Sept. 16.—Rending was again tho most prominent feature In the stock market trading this morning. The crowd In It was by far the largest on the floor of the exchange. Orders for lota of 5,000 shares were numerous. This buying forced an mlvance to 1531-3, against 1481-3 at the close yeaterday. The selling was almost wholly to take profits. Later realis ing caused a reaction to 151 5-8. Tho buying was baaed wholly on an as sumption that a coal land holding com pany would be formed. Baltlmoro and Ohio wa* also extremely active and strong, advancing from 122 to 124 1-2. the highest price at which this stock ever sold. The buying was practically by aome houses, the heaviest purchas ers of Reading. Erie waa strong, sell ing at 49, agnlnat 43 3-8 In the early trading. There was a good demand for Pennsylvania, Delaware and Hudson and New York Central. Government bonds were unchanged.
