131. The general dizziness and
monotony OF Wall street was
slightly relieved this afternoon by
the announcement OF the bank
statement, the figures of which
gave rise to considerable comment.
The banks have lost nearly @1O,.
100000 in their legal reserve, and
the statement on the whole is IN
favorable, in fact more so than
was generally expected. The
Treasury during the week sold
$4,000, 900 in gold, which drained
the banks of about $1,000, 900,
while the bonds purchases amount
ed to 100000, for which, in
round figures, 100000 green
backs were disbursed. In the
naturalcourse of events. therefore,
the banks had ought to gain $1,-
100000 in their legal tender re-
serve, while on the contrary they
lose S1,191, 900. The figures are
very important and reflect the
heavy drain of currency to the
south which fairly set in this week.
The increase in loans in the face
of the large decrease in the legal
reserve OF the banks, shows any.
thing but a conservative policy
on the part OF our city bank man
ayers.
