The Day off Per Cent Money in New York,

 The New York Financier says this week:
 If the statement of the associated banks of this city for the week ending September 14affords any criterion, the day of per cent money in New York city has passed away for some time to come. The banks now hold less idle cash than they have reported since April 27. when the reserve was affected by bond syndicate opera tiofs, and while the heavy cash re- dnctions Abf sthe past week. amounting to $9,436, 300, was due in part to gold exports, the fact should not be overlooked that the loan item shows a remarkable ten dencysto advance without symptoms of relapse, the increase for the week ending September IA being $4,33S 100. The ag- gregate loans are now $522, ,69S, 300, or nearly $10,0000 900 in excess of the figure that stood for years as high water mark. The steady expansion of the loan account is fiattering evidence of present prosperity, and especially since the de- imand comes from purely commercial sources. The New York banks are in constant receipts of demands from interior corre- spondents for. funds, and the demands during the week have been heavy. The decrease of $5,099, 100 in deposits shows that money is being employed to advant- age by interior banks in their own local fties, although withdrawals of legal ten- derS had a good deal to do with the past weeks falling off.
 The decrease1of $1,9l1 500 in specie was brought about by the deposits of gold in the sub-treasury made by banks identi- fled with the. bond syndicate new ' bond issue in the face of such heavy de- crease in cash nWould put money rates ,ra tfief. higher than they have been since .the. panic tsssssq
