$449,502 currency" in excess of its receipts.
The loans are reported decreased only
$1,4S1 900, which may represent actual decrease
of 81, 800 OOO but hardly more, because it is not

fogo her with an increase of $50 900 in the circula
ton, call for decrease of 6,34S, 800 in deposits

500. The weeks movements result in wip,ng out
the surplus reserve of s. OS7 500 reported for the
