TuE ASSOCIATED BAxxs.-Wc publish to-day su'c
men, of the condition Of The Associated Banks Of This
city, on Saturday the Sd inst, consisting o.! an abstract
of The made by the respective banks on that day
We remarked few weeks since, that these banks had
taken decisive step towards preparations for eSunp
ton Of specie payments The statement shows that Tie
advance which has been made in the work OF prepara
ton has been quite decisive there was then any rca
anticipate.
We have compared this with that which
made from the Of January 9th During The Pc
Rod OF some weeks which has ntervenrd important
change has been made. Four banks have ceased 10 be
members of the Assnciaon-thc present number -,
with aggregate capital of Sis, 100000.
On comparing The state Of these % banks exhibited
by the present return with that Of the banis as
shown by tie return Of January 6, we find that there Is
reduction in the aggregate loan Of 81 1863 300 So great
reduction, in short PERIOD could not fail 10 be SEN
siby felt, in the business operations Of the city.
This reduction OF loans has produced reduction oil
1871 :A in The balance of crcu lalun, after dsducng
from the of bills out the annnn of bills of other
banks on hand--a reduction Of S32 Dap in the amount
OF balances due to other banks, after deduclng there
from the amount Of balances due TO other banks-a re-
ducon Of SllS 26 in the amount of deposites not on
nterestand reduction OF sJS3l1, in the amount ct
eposiles bcuring interest These together, make
reduction "f 81 2SI 30 in the amount OF immediate
ablitirs-aler deducng there(rom at each date the
amounts due from other banks on notes and balances
In this comparison we have not taken into the account,
the amount of profits on hand On The other hand the
amount 0 specie IN the several banks Is Increased III The
sum Of Sl20 S1l.
The amount Of bills issued and mol redeemed Of the
2S banks is 50 l53 0S7; which amount is less by only
sos S00, than the 9th of January. This amount
would have been much reduced, but for The arrangement
which made to prevent the reissue Of the notes Of
the Commercial, Fulton, and Hancock Banks. The
amount of hand Of other banks, in and out Of
the city, is 50 60 800, which leaves The balance Of their
circulation, the amount Uf notes of other banks
which they have hand, only S3725S7. The amount
OF bank and specie in the vaults Of the - Asso.
ciaai Banks, exceeds The amount OF all the notes which
they have out by $27i 1924 The amount Of balances,
however, due from them 10 other banks, exceeds the ug
pregat of balances in their favor by 81 ,91SI.J.
This Improvement in the condition Of The banks, ef-
feced within so short period must remove all doubt
Of their ability 10 return 10 specie payments ct very
early day 1t would even seem that less severe pres
sure might in short time accomplish the object The
thorough examination which has been made Gi The
