NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT I
It Is Estimated That Five Million Dollars May BeRequired for Gold Exports
 Next Week.

New York, Nov. 16-The New York Fiji nancier says this week:
 The statement of the associated banks of New York for the week ending Novem- Der 16 does not reflect the weeks opera tions by any means. During the week ending with Saturday over $3,000, 900 in gold was exported to Europe, the specie being obtained b ythe exchange of legal tender Yet the bank statement for the current week shows an actual increase of $697 900 in cash, the loss of $631 400 in legal tender being offset by an increase of $1, 34S, 500 in specie. Of course Saturdays gold exports did not figure in the state ment, but even with this factor elimi- mated the report does not cover the ac- tual condition of the banks.
 It is estimated that $5,0O0,000 may be required for gold exports during the com ing week, unless sterling exchange breaks, as seems probable. This, coupled with the fact that the demand for interior funds is falling off and the reserve of the New York banks is gradually increas- ing seems to foreshadow a less favorable rate for money. The whole bank state ment, in fact, the loan of the past week shows a decrease of $2,989,700 the total now standing at $492,933,500, the lowest figure reported since May il last. The contraction since the 1st of the present month has been about $s.o00,O00 and since October nearly SIS, ,000. 900. The decrease for the week past was probably due largely to liquidation of mercantile ac- count and also to the efforts of some banks to get their reserve above 25 per cent, The total dn October 12 last stood at $40, ,S61, ,9OO as against s65,767, 900. The total speculation holdings, however, are nearly ST 0000 900 less than on February 9 last, when they. reached the. highest figure reported last year. Deposits, as was to have been expected in view of the withdrawal of the funds earlier In the week fell off $1,707, POO. The total deposit item is now $40,000,000 less than reported three months ago.
 As a result of the weeks operation the reserve of the New York banks increased $1 IA 900.
