THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, August S-p. m.
The banks have lost some money this week
owing to the Withdrawals Of Chicago bank bal
ances here and to shipments Of gold to Can
ada This loss shows in the weekly statement
Of the associated banks published to-day. the
decrease in cash holdings being SjS1j400 made
up by an increase of $291. 100 in specie and a
less of S6.166500 in legal tenders The interior
currency movement nearly balanced, the in
crease in demand for funds in connection with
moving the crops being factor. Loans showed
a contraction Of 81, 49S.300. against one Of ST.
704. 600 last week, and deposits decreased 81
$40. 800, which is pretty thoroughly explained
by the changes in the cash and loan items.
The operations of the Sub-Treasury with the
banks in the week caused loss to the banks Of
$500, 465. The result Of all the changes was
a decrease in the surplus reserve Of S3.9l3,O2o
to $13,Sl5.o1o, which is against S3S.94OI15 this
week last year and SCI .O02SJO in the same week
in 1894. Some uneasiness was felt on the Stock
Exchange on the publication of the bank state
ment on account Of the loss in cash holdings
and the reduction in the surplus reserve. Sew
eral banks reserves are below the legal limit.
but this has often occurred before. and should
cause no worry or fear. The NewYork banks
are solid institutions
