The reaction' that came in Wall Street today was fully explained by the bank statement that followed it: If this statement means anything it means that profes sional traders and bankers, who havje been carrying stocks on margin in the ; banks, have liquidated and the stocks have been taken by the public, either for cash, or on much heavier margins than they were carried the previous week. This is indicated by a comparison- of the actual and sur plus statements. The actual r state ment shows a decrease in surplus re serves $24,944,5,60; an increase in loans of $31,825,000 and an increase in net demand deposits of $7,755,000. The average statement shows a decrease in surplus reserves of $7,333,120, an increase in loans' yf $32,458,000, and an increase in net demand deposits of $31,764,000. The question is frequently asked by the new trades in 'Wall Street what items it is in the bank statements that throw light on this point. It ..must be admitted that the indication is not absolutely correct, but in theory when a broker borrows money he immedi ately puts it on deposit and it becomes i i demand deposit. A large increase !

One of the pri vate cables stated that the wheat crop ; 1 was greatly damaged by drought in j j more than fifty per cent of the total i sown area, while another claimed that the only good wheat section was in j the Southern portion of Buenos 'Ayres j province. j Indications were that a large ex port business had been put through at the seaboard, but no figures were forthcoming. It was stated that the Greek government had made large purchases of wheat at New York, though this was not confirmed. Oma ha reported 100,000 bushels wheat sold for export at 13 cants over December price, delivered at New York, the high est premium on the crop. Local ship ping sales were 40,000 bushels and in cluded 25,000 bushels for export. Cash wheat here was relatively steady. Corn was quiet and the trade was watching September. - The latter clos ed unchanged, while deferred months were quarter to 3-8 cents Yowers Holders of September corn "Supplied shorts freely around 90 cents. Cash corn ruled steady to 1 cent higher with shipping sales 60.000 bushels, includ ing 20,000 bushels for export.

He is convinced that the mar ket will not suffer as a result of the was, unless it is for mechanical toys. Dolls are going to be plentiful and ing at 11:15 o'clock, the occasion being a Sunday School rally.
