Financier says: The statement of clear
ing house banks for the week ending Jan

features The heavy liquidation In loans
due to the furry of two weeks ago was

contraction has been continuous for the
week just ended. which reflects accu-
rately the situation. The decrease for the
Ave days ending January reached the
unusual figure OF 81, 500 500, making to-
tai snrinkage of loans tor the past TWO
weeks of sAi, 065 800. The total loans have
also fallen S35,V0.000 since the LIST OF De-
cember and have shrunk s5I,0CD,D9O within
the past four months Part OF the con-
traction for the current week has been
due perhaps, TO the January dividend
shifting of funds, but the total is sur
prising. The deposit item naturally shows
a heavy falling off, the loss being nearly
SO 900 900 for the week. The item OF cash
