The operations of the Sub-Treasury for the west
ended last Friday evening" included in its recen,,
81 724 O6O special deposits Of gold coin for which
certificates were issued (which certificates are tina
same to the banks as com. and in its payments
$3.50, OO0 redemption Of certificates of deposits a,
egal-tenders-which certificates the banks befora
had counted as legal-tenders. Eliminate from tina
Sub-Ireasury's receipts and payments those two
Items, which so far as the banks are concenedi ia
the exchanging of one form Of money for anothe,
and the actual results Of this weeks operations ara
q gain to the banks of SsO1, 4O1-$703 6Oj in coin
and 1896 III currency. The gain in coin wasso
distributed through the week as TO make the high
average of $6S5,000 gain in the weekly statements
figures. Our estimate a week ago was that tina
banks then held 81, 100 900 more specie than the
amount reported in the statement Of thai date. II
that estimate was correct, barring such interior
shipments of specie as were made during
the week. land they were insignificant in
amount, exclusive Of such as are included IN the
receIpts yesterdays statement
should show a specie gain Of 81 7S5, 900; it shows
gain OF 81 sos Coca difference from our caIcuIa-
ton so small that it is significant only in pointing
hat yesterdays report of specie does not uaderstste
the amount that was held at the close of business
)n Friday night The decrease of $99L0O0 legal
tenders reported by the statement reflects a much
arCer shipment of them to the interior than was
expected. and makes it certain that that item the
statement was made with falling averages. The
conclusion Is that the total at the end of the
week a considerable amount smaller than the
averages reported for the week The reduction IN
deposits is $471 900 greater than the amount Of
decrease called for by the other changes, but it
My partially corrects the discrepancy Of
Il 1871 500 in the other direction which shown
" the preceding statement. The figures of the
result in showing gain to the surplus
eserye of $933,350, and leave il at 81 7Ss, 700.
