CONDITIONS OF THE BANKS COMPARED.
Yesterdays bank statement reflects large in
6uX of money from the interior BY the operations
during the week ended Friday evening the banks
gained only 1881 ,249 In cash We have discov-
cred no reason to correct our estimate OF q week
ago that the statement Of ayera es issued on Janu-
airy was ~ 500. 900 less than tho actual amount
of cash held at the close Of business Friday Jsnu-
airy 6. Yesterdays statement reports the average
cash held for the week s5,44s200 greater than by
the statement Of January T.. Accepting the esti
mates Of the preceding week as being approx
mately correct yesterdays statement indicates
actual receipts during the week of something like
$1,000 900 from the interior and that therefore
tho statement OF averages UNDERSTANDS the amount
Of cash actually held at the close Of business Last
Friday by some S1.5O0.000 contraction Of
S3,SJ6, 600 in the loans is partly due-to what
extent will not eStmatc-tO the taking up OF
loans on railroad bonds that were shipped by yes
terday's steamer to Europe. The increase in de-
posits Of sl,026, 500 is approximately consistent
with the other changes noted. The statement
leaves the Surplus over the rule Of % per cent
TO deposits at SO, 70I.275, against 81 s,6ll. 500
on January Is, 1887, and ss,054,400 December
Is. 1896.
The change in the week of ss7 were as follows
Loans decreased 81 500. cash increased 81 3d.
300 deposits increased 81, 04s, 700, and surplus
reserve increased s3.S25,I25,
The changes in the week of ssl were rs fol-
lows Loans decreased 81, 2l5, 900, cash increased
S53s2,30 deposits increased So, 5s9Io0 and
