There should have been no disappointment be-
cause of the small specie gain shown by yesterdays
weekly bank statement. During the week ended
Friday night the Sub-Treasury lost S17Sl,oIl
com, which was gain to the banks, but which in
the statement would show an average only OF
S5OOOOOO A week ago our estimate was that the
hanks began the new week about - ,3OO.OOO
poorer in specie than the report Of that date
showed On Saturday, the first day OF the
bank week. 8 100000 gold was withdrawn Tor eX-
port and on last Friday $750O0O also was with
drawn for export. The total OF those known losses
and last weeks shortage, amounting to @3Ooo'OOV
i'm the statement appears as an average loss OF
So 100000. Deducting that sum from the
$5,O0O,00O of average gains leaves the aver
age gain $2,5OOO0O, against $2,6OS,7OO as
the reported gain 1t therefore follows that
at the close of business on Friday night the
banks held about s., 900, coo more specie than the
amount reported in the statement. The banks,
however. continue to lose legal-tenders the state
ment showing a further reduction in that item of
$3.50, ,GOO and that despite loss of $l69,4lo cur
rency by the Sub-Treasury. The loans were con-

The result of the statements figures is surplus OF

shown by the preceding weeks statement
