THE BANK STATEMENT.
For the first time in number OF weeks we have
an exhibit of the condition oi the banks. There is
nothing but an unknown quantity with which to
compare the statement, and we therefore give the
figures as they are furnished. II must be borne In
mind that no account IS taken OF the loan ccrtin-
Gates nor is the amount Of this class OF liabilities
described. 1t is fair to believe that they represent
some s22 900, 900. We append table OF the condl-
ti0n OF the banks this week and last
NOU 10. N0U. %.

According to the above figures the banks are de-
0cicnf In their reserve s34s250 II the loan certin
Gates were counted there would be a efficiency In
Che reserve of upwards of $5,Ooo 900. II will also
be observed that, according to the daily statement,
che banks hold $4,000 0o0 and, according to the
weekly statement, the banks hold $50 600 900 OF
legal tenders, fact which shows either that the
system OF averages IS wrong or that the banks
have made q mistake in their daily count. The fol-
lowing table shows the condition OF the banks this
week compared with September 2o:-
