The statement state-ment of the clearing-house banks for tho week shows that the banks hold 4)12,5-10,350 moro than the legal reserve re-serve requirements. This is an increase of $1,224,425, as compared with last week. The statemont follows: Increaso.

S. Dep. 19,335,300 1,1.12,525 Tho Financier says this week: Lust week's official statement of the New York associated banks showed a marked discrepancy between tho estimnted changes iii cash, which were basod upon the4 traceable movements of money during the v.eok and the amount and character of such chnnges as indicated in-dicated by tho bank return the principal prin-cipal estimates showing a Joss of from oU to S 2-u millions, while the fctatt-ment fctatt-ment recorded an increaso of .'5o,02(5,30U. This discrepancy seemed to be largely duo to the method of computing the receipts and disposition of .the imports of cold for tho week, which computation computa-tion is moro or less complicated because be-cause of the advances that oro made i by tho treasury 1o importing banks in order to facilitate" such imports. Tho general deposits iucreased last -week $10,S07,500. this amount closely corresponding corres-ponding with the sum of the increaso in loans and the gains in cash, and therefore the statement made a ood proof. Tho required reserve acainst deposits was augmented $2,701,S72, de-. de-. ducting which from the increase in cash I loffc $1,224,125 as tho train in surplus reserve to $12,540,580. Computed upon the basis of deposits less thereof $27,-039,800, $27,-039,800, which it may be observed in creased $1,552,400 during the week, the surplus is $19,315,300. Loans were expanded $7,290,200. Probably tho result of temporary loaning of funds which were accumulated in anticipation of October disbursements of dividends and interests. |
