The weekly averages Of our city banks show very
remarkable and unexpected increase in the specie re-
serve. After foreign drain OF twenty-five hundred
thousand dollars last week it the general anticpa-
ton that the line would show falling of of about
million. The result shows that the interior is paving
up even better than anticipated and paying up in
gold. The SubTreasury has lost during the week
about 100000 10 the street; but to show gain of
100000 after such large shipments TO Europe, the
receipts by the various expresses connecting with the
interior must have been very large The banks are
now carrying nearly thirty millions Of dollars in specie,
inert and profess being nearly One-haf the aggregate
amount of their capitals; and this too, with another
California delivery Of two millions nearly at our doors
Onehalf of this idle gold, distributed through the va
rous channels of trade and manufactures would nfuse
new life into the suffering industry Of the country and
give employment and an honest subsistence TO thou
sands Of families at the point of starvation. The
loans show continuance of the moderate expansion
which has been going on for few weeks-an expansion
which il thus limited in consequence of the inability OF
these institutions TO obtain satisfactory paper. The
amount Of new paper making is quite moderate, and
this state of things must continue yet for some weeks
Meantime the banks employ their funds mainly IN
renewals and nursing their bills receivable. The de-
posts show fair increase, compared with the pre-
yious week.
The following is a comparative statement of the con-
di,ion of the Banks of the City of New-York, Jan.
and Jan. 9. 1888:
