pectedly large gain In cash, the Incrcane
In reserve requirements thus Involved
would have made an Inroad upon the sur
plus. It was pome fear of this showing
that caused yesterday's hesitation and un
easiness in the stock market. The same
feeling was perceptible to some extent n
the early trading today, but It gave way
to the renewed buying demand, especially
for the iron and steel stocks, and after
the publication of the bank statement the
strength became general and the market
closed active and strong at substantial net
gains all through the let.
The bears In pugar were relieved from
their panic of yesterday by the assertions
of officials of the company that the sugar
war was still on. But professional trad
ers handled new short contracts In sugar
In a gingerly manner. The stock dipped
4 points at the opening, but did not go
within more than a point of as low as
that again, and rose at one time a frac
tion above yesterday's high level. The
stock was very feverish and erratic all
day. People's Gas was strong on reports
of the absorption of the Ogden company,
and failed to yield on denials of that re
port. There has been active demand for
securities during the whole week, which
has embraced pretty much the whole of
the list of railroad stocks.
Many stocks in which no transactions
had been recorded for months have been
brought forward to a conspicuous place
In the trading, and the number of differ
ent stocks traded In has amounted to 150
or 170 in a single day. showing the great
breadth of the market. The average day's
business has been close to 1,030.000 shares,
and although there has been some con
gestion of business In stocks of the great
railroad systems, the activity 'In the main
has been unusually well distributed. The
stocks of Industrial corporations have not
shared In the strength of railroads, but
have, on the contrary, reflected pressure
to sell until the shorts were driven to
cover later In the week. Those which
have shown the greatest weakness have
been affected by special causes, but the
tone of the industrials generally showed
that they are believed to be vulnerable
to the same causes of weakness as those
directly affected.
The large and general buying of railroad
securities can only be explained as due
to confidence in the soundness of values
at the present level of prices. The level of
Intrinsic values In securities naturally
varies with the prevailing Interest rate,
active business and opportunities for prof
itable use of money there tending to bring
securities on the market to realize funds
for use In the money market. The effects
now In evidence of the operation of the
new bank currency and Government bond
refunding law give assurance that the
needs of the very active trade nil over
the country for a circulation medium will
be met by this law.
Money reserves of banks are thus guard
ed against encroachment, and security
holders feel Insured against a rise. In In
terest rates which would depreciate tho
value of returns on their holdings. Added
to this is the assurance that the present
rate of earnings of railroads must main
tain an increased distribution of profits
to stockholders and additions to the value
of equities of railroad stocks.
While the present large volume of earn
ings of railroads Is due to the very gen
eral traffic which Is transported, the con
servative course of railroad managements
In accumulating surpluses and In making
liberal outlays for permanent Improve
ments, the present large profits give a
feeling of confidence to stockholders In
the continuity of the return on the hold
ings. The tendency of the railroad man-
pents In the last few years to make
-outlays for permanent works on
?ys. Is bearing fruit In the re-
Irements of renewals of etruc-
krk of the same nature still 'n
les promise of still further
'.future.

a solid basis for the Improvements In
prices of the railroad stocks and bonds.
The demand bad come alike from specu
lators for a rise, from Investors and from
foreign buyers.
The foreign demand has been a promi
nent feature of the week, and has aroused
much discussion as to whether It repre
sents renewed fixture of foreign capital
In American securities. The conviction
has grown up that this Is largely specula
tive with a view to selling out on a rise.
The upward movement of sterling ex
change In favor of London buying of se
curities, which has amounted to 1 cent In
the pound during the week, disclosed that
remittances were not being made for the
foreign buying, but holdings were being
carried by loans secured In New York.
Much diversity of statement and opinion
has been elicited for foreign brokerage
houses as to the actual shipments of se
curities which are being made to London.
But they seem agreed that they are by
no means as large as recent purchases of
stocks attributed to London account. In
London these Is some disposition to attrib
ute the demand for and strength of Amer
ican securities to the account of American
operators who use the London market
In preference to New York for reasons
best known to themselves.
In the Industrial list, the Immediate
causes of weakness have been the gloom;
forebodings emitted by the president of
the American Sugar Refining Company, of
the prospective reduction In dividends, ne
cessitated by destructive trade competi
tion and the heavy valuations for taxa
tion placed upon New York public fran
chises. That so well entrenched and
so long successful an industrial combina
tion as the Sugar Company should offi
cially admit that competition had deprived
Its business of any profit, gave a cheek
to the confidence of holders of stocks
In other Industrial combinations In the
power of such combination to prevent or
defeat new and destructive competition.
The squeeze of the shorts In sugar did
not dissipate the sentiment.
The buying of railroad bonds ran up to
very large proportions during the week.
The market was very broad, but the larg
est demand was for low-priced bonds,

NEW YORK FINANCES.
Banka Make a Henry Gain In Cash
and Increaae Tteserrca.
NEW YORK. March 31. The Financier
says:
The New York banks made an unexpect
edly good showing for the week ending
March 31, surplus reserves showing an In
crease of H.018.8S0. rising to J3.S3S.150. The
gain was entirely In the form of cash,
as both loans and deposits expanded for
the first time In a number of weeks. The
Increase In loans amounted to S3.2S0.S0O
a very moderate advance when the ac
tivity In the stock market Is taken Into
consideration. This Increase, coupled with
the addition of 5,933,900 to the banks' re
ceipts of cash, account for the rls? of
37,700,200 In deposits, and, as the latter. In
turn, called for an additional reserve of
almost 32.000,000. the excers reserve does
not show as heavy an advance as would
have been the case otherwise.
The statement Is much more favorable
than had been anticipated, but it Is rather
dlfTcult to trace the origin of the heavy
receipts of each. It Is known that the
banks received something like 31,600,000
from tho Treasury, but the Interior re
ceipts were not so heavy. One million In
gold came from Cuba during the week,
but this does not figure to the full extent
in the statement. One feature of the
statement that Is worthy of attention Is
the gain of JS73.900 In National bank net
circulation, the total Issues of notes stand
ing at present at 120.13S.600. This does not
represent the total of applications already
made, and It Is anticipated that Increases
will be noted regularly hereafter. While
this, of Itself, does not Imply lower rates
for money, the only deduction possible Is
that quotations will remain easy for a
considerable period. A factor not to be
Ignored Is the advance In foreign exchange
rates over the past week or two. Various
explanations have been advanced for thti.
but the fact remains that eisier money
here will make for a continuance of a
higher exchange level.
The banks ought to continue to ga'n
from the Treasury as an Incident to the
refunding operations, and even though Eu
rope may continue to purchase American
securities, the experiment of adding an
unknown number of millions to the cur
rent money of the country Is apt to lead
to some very curious complications In ex
change markets. Normally, the only out
let for too much money Is export, or a
wild Inflation of speculative values here.
Neither may occur, but If too much bank
money Is Issued either Is porslble.
The weekly bank statement shows the
following changes:
Surplus reserve. Increase t4.01S.r50
Loans, Increase 3.20,901
Specie, Increase 3.20S.OM
Legal tender. Increase 2S15.900
Deposits, increase. 7.700.2Oj
Circulation. Increase S75.9C0
The banks now hold S9.83G.1S0 In excess
of legal requirements.

CAMBRIDGE WON EASILY
THE THAMES REGATTA SOMETHING
'OF A FIZZLE.
Oxford Practically Beaten Before the
Race Bes;an Twenty Leng-ths
Behind at the Finish.
PUTNEY, England. March St The
57th annual boat race between crews rep
resenting the Universities of Oxford and
Cambridge was rowed today over the
usual course, from Putney to Mort Lake.
Cambridge won easily in IS minutes, 47
seconds, official time, Oxford being much
distressed and about 20 lengths behind at
the finish.
The race was favored by magnificent
weather. The bright sunshine attracted
Immense crowds, which from an early
hour congregated along the course on
steamers. In boats, on the bridges and on
the buildings overlooking the scene. Every
point of vantage was crowded In spite of
the general belief that It would be a one
sided contest. The dark blues, as chal
lengers, were the first to take the water,
and were loudly cheered. They were
quickly followed by the favorites, Cam
bridge, whose reception was very enthu
siastic The tide was quite strong, and
considerable difficulty was experienced in
getting the boats Into position. Oxford
won the toss, and chose the Surrey sta
tion. Colonel Wlllan. who umpired Yale
and Cornell at Hanley, acted In the same
capacity for Oxford and Cambridge. He
effected a capital start. The two boats
took up their positions at 130 P. M., and
started at 1:5S.
The light blues Immediately shoved to
the front, rowing with rare power and In
splendid form. At the Duke's Head, they
were a quarter of a length ahead. In
the first minute. the-Cantabs rowed a
stroke of 41 and Oxford rowed 40 to the
minute. At Walderz, about one mile from
the start, Cambridge was two lengths
ahead. Passing the Crabtree. Cambridge
was 14 seconds ahead, and off the Sacchar
ine works tho light blues were leading by
six lengths. As the Cambridge boat
passed Thorneycroft, nsating the three
mile post, the light blues led by 10 lengths.
Oxford then began to show signs of dis
tress, and at the Devonshire Meadows,
over three miles from the start, 11 lengths
separated tho two boats. At Barnes
bridge, about 3 miles from the starting
place. Cambridge was 30 lengths ahead.
Cambridge finished very fresh, and pad.
died past the stakeboat at Mort Lake, the
easiest kind of winners. Oxford, however,
came In for a full share of the cheering
Tho Oxonians stuck gamely to their work,
but the stroke set them early In the con
test proved a great deal too much for
some of the men In their boat. Without
any bustling. Gibbon and his men forged
ahead and gradually Increased their lead.
After the mile post the contest ceased to
be a race.
Even this performance was minimized
by the fact that Cambridge won on one
of the strongest flood tides that hat
marked a race day in years, and In perfect
weather conditions. The crowds were In
no way diminished from the tremendous
proportions of recent years, but there wai
no chance for enthusiasm. Just a few
generous cheers for Oxford were given as
she trailed along, at times hidden from
the leader by the twists in the river. It
Is a long time since the race was so bar
ren of features.
If pressed. Cambridge probably could
have smashed all records. Oxford is offi
cially estimated to have been beaten by
one minute, but, as a matter of fact, the
dark blues had ceased rowing before they
reached the winning post, and about a
quarter of a mile separated at the finish
one of the best from one of the worst
crews that ever appeared In this classic
event. At no time In the race did Oxford
appear to make any serious efforts to
catch up with their rivals, who led from
the start. Tho losers were beaten berore
the race began, and the hundreds of
thousands that blackened the banks of
the Thames realized It.

Such testimony Is enduring proof that
Drs. Copeland and Montgomery are really

not merely Improving and benefiting
alone, but curing the disease.

THE RADICAL CURE
OF CHRONIC DISEASE
IN MANY FORMS.
Mr. J. n. Otto, 274 Fourth atreet,
Portland: Several years ago I took a
course of treatment at the Copeland In
stitute for a catarrhal trouble affecting
my head, stomach and bowels, the result
of an attack of Panama fever 20 years
before. At that time I was In my (3d
year, and thought this would be against
a cure, but under the treatment given
me. my catarrh got well and my stomach
and bowels healed. I am now ns well as
any man of my age. due to the excellent
treatment I received at the Copeland In
stitute. Sir. John Redmond, SfcMlnnvllIc,
Or.: I had suffered with catarrh and
stomach trouble for years. I took a
course of treatment with .Drs. Copeland
and Montgomery, and they cured me. I
have been enjoying good health ever
since.
Mr. L. II. Clarice, well-known In
Portland, living at Gresham: The Cope
land physicians cured me of rheumatism
and deafness from which I had suffered
for many years. I am 69 years of age,
and consider my cure little short of a
miracle, and never fall to give the Cope
land physicians the praise they so richly
deserve.
Mr. E. A. Itnth, Brewster Hotel,
Portland, a well-known steamboat man:
I would have long since been In my gravo
but for the treatment of Drs. Copeland
nnd Montgomery. They saved my life. I
suffered from a bronchial trouble, which
was thought to be consumption. My fam
ily physician could do nothing for me. I
had night sweats and a terrible cough.
At times I coughed until I raised bright,
red blood. My chest was sore, with sharp,
cutting pains through tho lungs. I lost
flesh until I was nothing but skin and
bone.
When I finished my treatment two years:
ago I was a perfectly well man. and have
been so ever since. I shall be ever grate
ful to the doctors who cured me.
Mr. J. P. West, Scnppoosc, Or.i
When our son Wilfred began treatment at
the Copeland Institute his condition was
very serious. He had a terrible, racking
cough. He had no appetite, and had lost
fleih and strength. He took bottle after
bottle of medicine, but got no better, and
we had grave fears his lungs were affect
ed. Now he is well and strong.
Mr. Erneat Kroner, 107 Monroe
street, Portland: Our little boy Leo was
a great sufferer from catarrh, compli
cated with frequent attacks of tonsllHls.
His condition caused us grave alarm: for.
In spite of all treatment, he grew steadily
worse, and his general health became
greatly Impaired. The Copeland physi
cians cured him perfectly.

Mr, lb R. Chendle, proprietor of the
Cascade dairy. Lebanon. Or., well known
In Portland: Several years ago I took
a course of treatment at the Copeland
Institute for catarrh and deafness, the
result of scarlet fever In childhood. I had
a nasty discharge from both ears. My
hearing was very dull, and I was under
a constant strain to understand what was
said.
I had doctored for years without benefit.
I then decided to take up the Copeland
treatment, and from my own personal ex
perience I can and do say that this treat
ment is all that Is claimed for It, for It
brought me a permanent and radical cure.
Mr. J. Martin, Ortgoa City, Or.i
Whsn I began treatment at the Copeland
Institute I had little hopes of a cure. My
stomach and bowels were In a terrible
condition. I had diarrhoea, with awful,
cnunp-llko pains. Food did not digest,
but caused bloating and great distress!!
I had lost 35 pounds.
I had been treated by no less than 10
physicians, but they could do nothing for
me. Upon the advice of friend1) I placed
myself under treatment with Drs. Cope
land and Montgomery. I am always
pleased to praise these physicians for their
excellent and successful treatment of my
case. They cured me.
