Notwith standing the week's enormous demands for credits the banks report n contraction in loans of upward of $lo,"X),0"0. The only ex planation can be that the credits outstaud ing In the stock market by the banks have been withdrawn to the extent of meeting requirements in other directions und that loans hnve hi en made through trust com panles and through other sources. There I no room to doubt that the volume of cred Its as a whole has been substantially ex pnnded during the week. The indicated los; of cash of $4,000,000 Is reduced in the show lug of the hank statement to about Isuti.roo. I he net result is an improvement In th margin of the sutdIus to tlm extent of $2.10.iT0. The appearance of the statement had an encouraging effect on the demand for stocks, but the day's notable movements were confined to the list of sDeclaltles. Th is in accordance with the orofessed exnec tatlon of the trading element that the move ment to be looked for is to be In this class or mocks. The day's operations were si most wnoiiy in professional hands, but were imilcatlve of a confluent feeling that next week will see a revival of aDecu ative de mand und a quick relaxation In the money market. Banking? oninl in on tnis nolnt 'm .J mi means guaroea 111 spite of the nom inal strength of the bank statement. The sinning of loans to the trust companies and to foreign banks, while it affords relief In tne resources of the banks themselvrs nevertheless makes a rml Inronil on the available supply of credits.
