BANK CONDITIONS COMPARED.
By the operations of the New-York SubTreas-
ury in the week ended Friday night, which included
deposits of $2s 600 for shipment to other places,
the associated banks gained S4,o51.O50. The
weekly statement. published yesterday showed a
gain in cash of Sc, 2s5 900 The gain from the Sub
Treasury was due, of course, to heavy pension pay
ments. while the movement of money from the
interior was fairly large. The expansion in
loans which averaged 81 ,s45, 90, was chiefly the
result OF new mercantile demand, and only
small part of it due 10 the increased activity
in the Stock Exchange markets: The increase
in deposits was smaller by about 81 ESQ, 600 than
the other changes required. but this was slight
discrepancy in comparison with the large increases
in all the principal items. The statement was un-
doubtedly fair exhibit of the actual condition
OF the banks at the end of the business week
The result of the changes was an increase Of
S3,s22, 900 in the surplus reserve, and, in spite
Of the larger deposits. the banl1 held IN excess
Of legal requirements SIS 6l 500 against $4,496,
