The actual bank statement today showed deficit decreased 140,543.890, loans In creased $48.301,00.0. and new de mand deposits decreased $2,488,000. The average statement showed sur plus Increased $13,974,440, loans in creased $54,728,000 and net demand deposits increased $87,925,000, Banks discounted with the local fed eral reserve $140,753,997 less paper than In the previous week. While it looks bad to see an actual deficit In the local banks, yet the at tendant circumstances are such that this bank statement is a aood one. ' Easy money will be the chief factor in the stock market the next two weeks, for the bank statement has assured ii now. The only thine the market had to guard against is overspeculation, and if there should be any excitement the reserve bank would curtail credits again. Stocks were strong at the opening today, but without material dvances. This invited profit taking, and a re action of a point or more went through the list In most stocks this loss was recovered. The close was strong1" and quiet without material net change. The tobacco stocks dtstinifuisbed, themselves by holding firm throughout the session under leadership of United Retail Stores. American International was another strong feature. The sugar stocks were not influenced - by. announcement that the senate had passed the sugar control bill. They were inactive and unchanged. Some people seemed to expect Northern Pacific to pass its dividend, but an nouncement of the dividend had little effect on the stock, which rose but a fraction. Pere Marquette -was a strong feature of the railroad list Sterling was strong again.. Sinclair Oil and Transcontinental are the two stocks that Wall street is watch ing. Wall 'street hears that a new pool had been organized in Mexican Pe troleum to put the stock into new high territory. Portland Deschutes Land Company Files Organization Papers Salem, Deo.- 20.
