IN the week ended Friday night the associated
banks gained Sl52,225. The weekly bank state
ment published yesterday showed loss III cash OIL
Sl.II3.sO0. This result is directly at variance
with the known movement OF money Although
there have been some shipments To Eastern Polh'S
and considerable demand from few sections Oh
the West. the receipts undoubtedly continued
greatly 10 exceed the shipments. sun more
surprising feature of the statement, however, was
the loss IN specie which averaged over $l,2OV,ooO.
A part of the shipments eastward was IN soi1
certificates but ii would account Tor ONLY d SiI.dll
portion of the loss. Ii must I've concluded tlat d
considerable amount OF sOld was Withurd"h ioll
