THE BANK STATEMENT.
Saturday, December 31-u

an average gain in cash Of S7l7,s0O In
other respects the statement 1as featureless.
The small shipment OF gold counted for very little
while the receipts Of currency from the country
were large and constant. he higher rates for
money undoubtedly accelerated the return move
ment of money, which has been delayed by various
causes of which the principal one was the late
ness of the cotton crop. The contraction in loans
was less than 100000. although the close OF
the year naturally must have caused good deal
Of shifting. The statement was unusually con-
sstent in its details and the increase in deposits
was in harmony with the changes in other items.
The result Of all the changes was an increase OF
SS62,95 in the surplus reserve. The banks hold
