The exports of specie for the week aggregated $1,023,235. of which $$07,315 was silver and S355.& gold. The Imports of specie for the week aggregated $31$.3C3, of which 1257,273 was gold and $.$1,0.15 sliver. The Imports of dry goods and merchandise for the week at this port were valued at $146,977. The New York weekly bank statement shows the following changes: Surplus reserve. Increase $7,7$3.675 Loans, decrease 5.956,700 Specie, increase 8.7406 .60) Legal tenders, Increase 64.300 Deposits, increase 1,935,000 Circulation, decrease 55.7X) The banks now hold $27,137,625 In excess of the requirements of the 24 per cent. rule. The New York Financier says this week: "As was to have been expected, the bank statement for the current week shows some heavy changes over previous totals, but In the aggregate they were not as heavy as the operations of the week had led the financial world to expect. It had been anticipated that the excess reserve would rise almost, if not quite. $13,000,000. for In addition to the heavy liquidation due to Stock Exchange business the banks had gained something like $1.5,CM) from the Interior, and the trea. ury operations, involving as they did 'the payment of the Spanish indemnity, had mad the banks a creditor to the extent of $10,0"3.0iX', or aimost $15,000,000 counting that portion of the initial payment not included In the statement of May . The gain in cash, however, as reported Saturday, was only about $$.i0a,CO0. and the Increase In depots less than $2,01.000. There was a bhrinkagejo lca,ns. ot $5.5.700, and the effect of the charges noted was to increase the surplus reserve 7,78o,675. Thus the sta tenant seems ir out oi oalan.e. even from an average tap.dpotnt. but wnen it i taner. up in ueiaii tome interesting facts are aisClosed, liie .National City tanK. as tho at,ent through wnich Spam's payment was maue, galmu ilimift iA.m,-J.vl-j in dcposiia. Its cash increase was aimost as great and its loan expansion about liW,bo. This seems logical in view ot tne known fact, ana it Is ai.o apparent that in the totals of the remaining banks must be sougnt tne cnanges that make the statement confusing, the result is not satisfactory, for the real operations of the week do. not coincide with the snowing thus made. The system ot averages ' employed is doubtless responsible lor the discrepancy, and It is also responsinie for another fact which gives an unfavorable tinge to tne exhibit. The reserve carried by all the banks for the week ending Way 13 equals 2S ptr cent, of their deposits, as against 27.1 for the previous week. If the National City Bank totals. Including the heavy gains, are separated It becomes apparent that the other banks in the clearing house are carrying a reserve oi less than 24 per cent., indicating a more restricted loaning power. As a matter of fact, the real condition of the banks do not warrant thi conclusion. The outlook is rather toward easier money." EIG SATURDAY BUSINESS. The total sales of stocks In Wall street Saturday amounted to 757.535 shares, including: American Steel and Wire, 31.600; American Steel and Wire preferred. 72,100; American Sugar Reftnln?, 21.400; American Tinplate. .3.X; American Tobacco, 6.500; Anaconda. 6.900; Atchison, 9,400; Atchison preferred. 36.700; Brooklyn Rapid Transit, 215.' 100; Chicago, Burlinrton & Quincy rights, 2.300; Chicago.

General news was scant, but many rumors connected with the properties Identified with the late financier were circulated The flood of liquidating orders and bear activity after the initial break carried all of the Flower specialties down at a terrific rate. The extreme breaks in these properties as compared with Friday were: New York Airbrake. W points; Brooklyn Transit, 14; People's Gas, U: International Paper. 144: Federal Steel. lli; Rock Island. 44. and AtchJ.-on preferred. 4. In the general railway list the extreme decline ranged in the active shares up to 44. in Burlington. In the speculative specialties American Steel dropped 114. Sugar, 4; Colorado Fuel. 74; Manhattan and Metropolitan. 6; each; American Smelters, 6, and National Steel. Continental Tobacco and Anaconda Mining over 4 points each.- The appearance of supporting orders and the obeorptlon of a large amount in the aggregate by bargain hunter, together with large covering of short lines, brought about a very material rally which was emphasized In the propertics which had sniffered most earlier. Part of the extreme decline was due to uncovering of many stop orders as well as the wiping out of many marginal accounts. During the early violence the facilities of brokers handling large business were severely taxed and few orders could be accepted for execution, except "at the market." The lowest point reached by stocks was in many Instances above the low point on Tuesday last. The Flower specialties, however, were exceptions and touched the lowest in some time. The announcement by a member of the firm of Flower & Co. that Mr. Flower had no stocks on hand that were not paid for and that they would not come on the market had a reassuring effect. That firm, moreover, was a purchaser for cli;nts of a large line of stock on the decline. Lonlon old 2O,0k shares at ihe opening and later was a wnall purchaser. The bank statement was not fully up to the expectations of some and realizing and the putting out of fresh short lines again depressed prices after the rally, but still left quotations much above the lowest. The net losses are genera'ly less than half of the extreme declines. In the Flower specialties nt losses are: New York Air-brake. 21: Brooklyn Transit. lUi; People's Gas. fit; Federal Eteel. t4; International Paper. 34. and Atchison preferred and Rock Island, about 24 each. The declines for the day aggregated about three-o,uartr of a million shares durir two hours' tr;i4ing and th lightning

of stocks changed ownership was bewildering to the ordinary traders. The opinions of many Id operators were widely divergent and the quotations quickly proved the uselessness of attempting to guess at the course of prices. After the first fifteen minutes comparative quiet ensued, but still compared with other day' the dealings were enormous. The market closed under pressure, but materially above the lowest. A WEEK OF LOSSES. The market for the week suffered two violent decline, the first on Tuesday, when agitation as to the probable effect of the Ford tax bill worked havoc with values. This was followed by an Irregular recovery, until the announcement of the death of exGovernou. Flower Saturday gava a shock to the market, resulting in a dip below the figures of Tuesday for his specialties and bringing the general list nearly down to the lower level established earlier In the week. A recovery of part of the loss took place before the end of the day's session. The net losses range from fractions up to over three points in Burlington. Lackawanna lost 3 and Central Paciflc. Southern Paciflc and Northwest are over a point each off for the week. In the specialties the more pronounced losses for the week were New York Air Brake, 234: Brooklyn Transit. 224: People's Gas. 10: Federal Steel. 8. and Atchison preferred and International Paper over 6 points each. All these are properties In which the Flower Interest was prominent. Among the local shares which suffered because of the probability cf the Ford franchise tax bill becoming a law were Metropolitan, IS,: Third-avenue. 13: Consolidated Gas. and Manhattan, 6. Sharp declines were likewise made by American Tobacco and the iron and steel shares. v The government crop report was at first favorably received, but later the decrease In acreage was pointed out as a discouraging factor with a resultant depressing effect on the grangers. Money ruled fairly easy ami sterling exchange receded on the announcement that all the needed exchange had been secured, for the settlement of the Spanish Indemnity. Another influence on the exchange market was the enormous purchases of stocks for foreign account, which aggregated about 200.000 shares, only a tenth ot which were fold on the announcement of Mr. Flower's death. The deposit of $5,000,000 for the Spanish Indemnity with a New York bank, which was announced for Monday, was expected to be reflected In a continued Improvement in next week's bank statement. Tho traffic returns for April compared favorably with reefnt months and with the corresponding month In the last four years. The reports of failures for the first week of May showed the smallest liabilities of any week in six years. This was not unnaturally accompanied by favorable trade reports, especially In the Iron and steel .Industries, where higher quotations for many classes of the output were noticeable. The market was highly professional In stock dealings, ana while small holdings were sacrificed, confident buying was not lacking by large Interests on declines. Increased activity was noted In the week's bond market and a generally higher level of prices was established for the gilt-edged Issues. Speculative bonds, however, suffered, moving pretty much in unison with stocks.

Good Week' Trade, rlth Firm, Sterdy Price Prevailing. Trade In the week ending May 13 was In all lines very satisfactory, and with this prices ruled stetdy and firm, but few articles advancing and none declining. On the wholesale streets the volume of business Is considerably In excess of last May. and for the next two jveeks of the month a good trade Is assured. The steadiness to prices and the smooth manner In which business is moving along leaves little room for daily comment. Staple groceries, except molasses and syrups, are In strong position. The leather and hide markets are both firm at quotations, but In neither line has there been any advance of late. Provisions are unusually steady and moving well. The flour market is fairly active and prices low and unchanged. Th local grain market Is disappointing, more on account cf Ujrht receipts than for any other cause.
