DEMAND FALLING AWAY
News of the Day Xot Altogether Fa
vorable Break In Tennessee
Copper Has Bad Efrect
on Sentiment.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21. There waa a
further revival today of the unsettled
speculative sentiment which caused the
heavy break In prlcea early yesterday. The
strong rally which developed lata yesterday
was not extended. On the other hand,
there were signs of supporting measures for
a time on decline which served to steady
the tone. When the steadiness waa secured,
the market fell Into neglect. The result was
to Invite the renewed attack which caused
the weak closing.
.A disturbing factor was the violent break
In Tennessee Coppen without explanation In
newa developmenta. Thia Block haa sprung
Into prominence In the speculation In the
last few weeks. The collapse In the stock
today made a bad Impression as a possibfe
index of the unhealthy speculative con
ditions of e market. The general weak
ness developed after this Incident.
Some comment was oaused by the re
port of an increase of 10,262 In the number
of surplus freight cars In the twj weeks
ended November 11. There waa at the same
time a decrease of 12.875 In the number of
"bad order" cars. Indicating that the amount
of replenishment of supplies from the re
pair ehops had Increased. -Tho ngures Indi
cate a halt in the .rata of Improvement In
freight traffic.
The bank statement showed a loan ex
pansion rapidly extending, both by the banks
and trust companies, but a substantial In
crease in cash holdlnga kept up the pro
portion of the reservea. Another heavy
decrease In note circulation waa an Inci
dent of the maturity of the $14,000,000 one
year treasury certlncatea on November 20,
these having served aa a basis for circu
lation. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,224,000. United States Ss have
advanced 4 per cent on call during the
week.

Past Week.
NEW YORK. Nov. 21. The Financier will
The atatement of the associated banka of
the City of New York for theweek end
ing November 21 showed, as had been an
ticipated, an expansion in loans, with corT
responding Increases In cash
Ing Items. The Increase of $7.78-.300 in
loans was traceable, or course, to the con
tinued speculative activity in this and other
centers. The cash gain during the week was
$4 153 000. The Increase In deposits amounted
to' $14,362,000, and although this necessi
tated an Increase In reserve, the gain in
cash more than offset" the amount re
quired and the reserve on all deposits rose
$577,500. the surplus reserve on Saturday
standing at $30,416,225. The Item of cir
culation showed a remarkable decrease of
$2 908.000 following an almost equally heavy
decrease noted during the week preceding.
This shrinkage In note circulation Is due,
as has been explained before, to the re
tirement of currency based-, on the tem
porary treasury certificates Issued during the
panic a year ago. .
The summaries of the state banks and
trust companies in Greater New York, not
reporting to the New York Cleartng-House.
showed the effect of more active speculat . a
and business conditions, loans having In
creased -$5,394,000 and net deposits $7, 331.
900. The increase In cash reported by the
state banks and trust companies ' oaring : the
week amounted to a little over $1. 00 0.000
The statement of averages of the clearing
house banks for the week shows that the
banks hold $29,599,625 more than the re
quirements of the 25 per cent reserve rule.
This is a decrease of $612,325 In the pro
portionate cash reserve as compared with
last week. The statement followa: Increase
