THE BANK STATEMENT.


By the operations Of the New-York Sub-Treas
ury in the week ended last night, which in
cluded the payment of $2O,G02 for purchased
bonds and the receipt of 100000 for payment
by other Sub-Treasurcs. the associated banks lost
Sl,s73,O1s. The weekly bank statement. pub
lshed to-day, showed loss of 0S,400. AS
the interior movements of money, according to
expcrt estimates counterbalanced each other. the
difference of nearly S2000,000 is merely cor
recton of the previous statement. The export
of gold week ago is a sufficient explanation and
the statement affords further evidence that the
receipts and shipments in the domestic movement
were about equal. While the statement was
made on falling averages, the actual condition Of
the banks was probably not widely different from
the published showing The changes resulted in
loss of S3,l 800 in the surplus reserve, which
is now 81 1913. 02j. against -, IOO,sO0 year
