BANK CONDITIONS COMPARED.
By the operations of the New-York Sub-Ireasury
in the week ended Friday night which included de-
posi,s of S2,555,5OO for payment at other points.
the associated banks lost Si,427,4s0. The weekly
bank statement published yesterday showed loss
in cash of only 81 639, 700 1t was one Of those
unpleasant surprises which the present system Of
reporting averages occasionally affords. The re-
suit was favorable, but the good effect OF the
showing was offset by the general doubts which IL
excited. Expert estimates about the interior move
ment of money were agreed that the receipts Of
currency slightly exceeded the shipments, but this
difference was not large enough 10 account fer the
wide discrepancy between the Sub-Ireasury opera
tons and the statement. The fault cannot be laid
wholly upon the system of averages for the simple
reason that the heaviest shipments through the
Sub-Ireasury were made in the early days Of the
week. The statement was fairly consistent, but
none Of the changes reported was important Inc
contraction OF loane amounted to only Sl,1o2OOO
and the reduction In deposits was larger than the
other changes demanded by little more than $780,
600 The result Of all the changes was a decrease
OF only S65s,675 in the surplus reserve. and the
banks hold in excess of legal requirements a.
1872, 400, against S3l 02.750 in the corresponding
week year ago, and 81, 5ll 200 in the preced-
ing year.
The changes in the corresponding week in pre-
ceding years follows: ls9l-loans de-
creased Sl,9S3,600, cash decreased STA 500;
deposits decreased S2,Ois,9O0, and surplus re-
S7,o09,700, cash decreased 81 ,0l $500, deposits
increased S6,l77,2OO, and surplus reserve de-
creased S2,564.2oo lSS9.loans decreased
decreased S5,O5O,4o0, and surplus reserve de-
creased S2,603 500.
