The reports made by the bunks of their actum condition show an Increase In loans of $ 1 7,21.2.000, whereas tlin statement of avcrnKcs Indicate a R"ln In loans amoutitlnn only to about J7. 000. ooo.

The wheat market was strong all day. the May delivery showing the greatest strength owing to the npparently congested condition of that option. The principal bullish influence was the dry weather in the Southwest. The smallness of the primary movement, however, was an important factor. .Bull leaders and shorts were active bidders for wheat the greater part of the day. This demand forced prices Hie to 214c above tho lowest point. A reaction of about lc occurred during the final half hour because of liberal realizing sales, but the market closed firm. May opened Vic to 18 mc higher at Sl'ic to 92c, ad vanced to 93Vic and closed at 2),c. Small receipts and the shafp advance in wheat brought out a brisk demand for com which resulted In material gains In the price of all deliveries. The close was strong. May closed" at KFtfiGKc. Oats displayed considerable firmness. May closed at 53-c. Provisions were firm because of the strength of grain and because of a 5c advance In live hogs. Trade was of small proportions.
