TIE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday May 19-p. m.
BY the operations Of the New-York Sub-Treas-
ury in the week ended last night which included
payments Of s6.342 for purchases Of Pacific Rail-
road bonds the associated banks gained 1885,
962 The weekly bank statement published to-
day showed an average loss in cash OF N,S7O,SOO.
The changes In the money items were not widely
different from what might have been expected
from the known movements. and the decrease In
legal-tender notes represented fairly the ex-
change for gold at the Sub-Treasury. Beyond
that, no deductions can be drawn from the state
ment which In It's details is remarkably incon-
sistent The decrease in deposits was smaller by
81 4OG 900 than the other changes demanded. and
nothing In the statement indicated the cause Of
the discrepancy. 1t might be inferred that II
aro,e from the reported contraction in loans II II
was not for the fact that az no time during the
week was there an active demand FOR money
from either the speculative or the mercantile
markets The result Of all the changes was
further loss Of 81 sS5.4jO in the surplus reserve
but the banks still hold in excess OF legal re-
ouirements SIS 999l25. against s2442?.l'5 IN the
corresponding week year ago. and sls,ooos'o AT
the same time In the preceding year.
