The weekly bank statement published yesterday
exhibits surprising results to the reserves The Suo-
Treasurys operations for the bank week ended Fri
day night resulted in gains to the banks IF
$2,I06,4G0 coin, and $4,000 currency" The
coin gam was 50 distributed in the early part Of
the week that in the bank aver
ages it should figure as specie gain
OF =, 100000 The gold exports for the week vera
$4,000, and the estimated shortage in specie
week ago from the amount reported by statement VI
that date was 100000. Those two items average
loss OF 100000, leaving = 600 as the average
specie gain accruing to the banks FROM move
ments, exclusive of receipts from and
shipments to the Interior The amount Of
reported specie gain is only $2sO500. Hence il
follows either that the shortage n week ago
considerably more than the estimate of $i0OOO0 or
that the shipments Of specie to the interior have ex-
ceeded the receipts from there by sum that is rep
resented in the statement by an average Of
$92O.O0O Probably the last supposi;on is
the correct one. because the Eastern exchanges
have ruled more against New-York since April
than they did before that date. The statement Of
specie, however, upon any hypothesis is inconsistent
with the fact that the amount of Clearing House
gold in the Bank Of America was increased during
the week 100000. by deposits of $l,250000
and Withdrawals of $S50,000. The loss Got
legal-tcnders 10 an amount repre- Sented
by an average of $7Sl.300 is also ir.
Teconcilable with the supposed interior
movements Of currency. The deposits are reported
increased $1,622, 900, or $4,000 more than the
amount of increase which the other changes cali
fora discrepancy that can hardly be accounted 10.
by receipt of country bank-notes, at
time when the banks report a loss in legal
tenders. They would not be likely 10 ship
lcgal-tenders and hoard bank-notes. Altogether
this particular statement furnishes a remarkable
example of bow little information of value may be
furnished by statements made. Oh the system OF
averages The results of the fgures of the showing
are a loss of 1903 500 in cash and loss to the
plus reserve of $9O9, 300, leaving II at SSll $50.
The following are the comparative totals Of tho
statements of April l and April 3:
