WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.
The Reserves of Many of the Banks Are Down
to the Required Limits-Gold Exports
Announced.

New York. April 4.-The New York FL
nancier says this week.
The statement of the clearing house
banks of New York city for the week end
ing April is unimportant in its general
features, the operations of the week be-
ing shown in the decrease of $1,141, 450 in
the reserve, leaving the excess cash in
banks at $17,005,9 ,975, as against $13,929, ,925
for the same week last year The excess
reserve touched it's lowest point, $13, ,413,-
450, on March 80, 1895, and from that time
began to increase, standing four weeks
later at $25.27O,675 But during that time
the imports of gold were in excess of ex-
ports, and the movement from Europe
during the next month or in May amount
ed in the aggregate to $3,30S, 1853. The in
terror movement at the same time was
heavy, the reserve of the New York
banks standing on May 25. 1895, at $40,
005, ,150. This showing Is interesting in
view of the present situation, when the
total reserve of the banks is decreasing
and a resumption of gold exports is an
nounced to begin next Tuesday by one
firm. The government also has large
sum of money deposited with designated
banks, and a call for a portion of this
may be made at any time. The move
ment from the interior has not been as
yet a disturbing factor but it will be
seen readily that the outlook becomes
more complicated in view of the presence
of factors which were absent last year.
Then the rate for call money ranged be-
tween l and 2. per cent; In fact, it never
got above 2h per cent when the reserve.
was $4,000,000 less than at present and
when the rate for call money was be-
tween and 3h per cent. This. too, is
in the face of the fact that a certain per-
centage of foreign money is being loaned
In the market. The latter fact is sigpifi-
cant, and 1t is said that 1t has had a bear
ing in delaying call from the treasury
for bank deposits. The reserves of many
of the New York banks are already down
to the required limit. and the outlook,
despite the comparisons with last year,
does not seem to favor easier rates at
present. The explanation of this lies In
the fact that the conditions are more
normal and the locking up of great
deal of money by the bond transactions
has counteracted the imitation from
which the country has been suffering
since 1892. The averages show the fol-
lowing compared with the last two years:
