lost $209,550 The weekly bank statement pub
lshed to-day showed loss in cash of S3,7lS,-
600. The exports Of gold in the week were
S2,250,000, but the shipment OF 100000 on last
Saturday counted in the previous statement for n
very small amount Allowing the entire exports.
the loss in specie was much larger than the known
movements Of money suggested The conclusion
is irresistible that private boarding of gold. Of
which there were slight signs two weeks ago.
has become factor Of no little importance. The
further expansion Of loans by S4,30o,000 reflected
the continued ease in the money market and the
general willingness Of lenders TO accept all kinds
of collateral security. In its details the state
mcnt was unusually consistent. The result of the
changes was decrease Of S3,e97,s5O In the sur
plus reserve but the banks still hold in excess Of
