New York. Dec. 5.-The Financier saws

| q, 1895, tine deposits of the New York
/ clearing house banks exceed $500 600 600
| the banks statement for the current week
| showing a total deposit of 1902 Of6. 900. or
an increase since Nov. T. last, of $685.
| COS, 400 In other words the gain has been
at the rate of SIS, 9O0 600 per week since the
| Monday following election. This record it
is unnecessary to say, has never been sur

| banks
There is seemingly no cessation in the
| growth of the deposit item 1t reflects in
part the flow of money from the interior,
but a large percentage doubtless comes
| from the re-deposit of boarded funds in
savings banks. Then, too, there have been
a number of financial operations of large
magnitude, Witch must be taken into con-
sideration and the treasury has been los
| ing money TO the banks. The loan feature
| is not less marked. The expansion for the
week was SS.623,6O0 which brings the total
4 loans from $H2 700 reported Nov. Z. to
/ $i72, AL 800 for the week just ended, a gain
| of nearly S3O0080 600.
! il cannot be said that all this increase

! that nature in fact, have fallen off lately
and the continued expansion shows the eff
