BANK CONDITIONS COMPARED.
Rv the operations of the Sub-Treasury In this
city during the week ending Friday night, the
associated banks gained H,744HO. The weekly
bank statement showed an increase in loans OF
ss4s.SOO an increase in legal-enders of s2soo'Soo'
and an increase in specie Ct S24426O the increase
of total reserve being sj,S97900. The statement Is
hardly favorable Yet it is not unfavorapie IN
so far as it shows an increase In the Item OF
loans-small but still an increase which Is wnat
every wants 10 see. The specie item was
swollen doubtless by the worn gold com whlch
the Sub-Treasury unwisely selected 10 pay oul 10
exporting houses. but which was too hght 10
ship: so 1t was deposited in bank. Legal tenders
continued to arrive from the INTERIOR ana 10 ,iae
amount was added the Federal Government
payments Of interest on railway BONDS. Why .ns
net deposits increased 50 heavily Is not ciear
from the face Of this statement, but may De APP
narent next week The result of all the changes
was an Increase in the surplus reserve OF sS6'2,-
SIS: and the banks held in excess OF legal re-
ourements s45.4s5,O75. against SAL 200 the pre-
vious week and against sl02. 5i.41O in the same
week Of 1894 and $22 5296OO in 1898
