NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
THE BANK STATEMENT.

The weekly statement Of the Associated
Banks shows the following changes: Re-
serve. decrease, s127. 525; loans, decrease,
81, 1854. 700; specie, decrease, 500; legal
tenders, decrease, t2324.eo0; deposits, de-
crease, 1905 100; circulation, increase
$4,000.
The banks now hold s9,272, $50 in excess
OF the legal requirements.
The New York Financier says this
week: The statement OF the Clearing
House banks Of New York for the week
ending August ed, came as an agreeable
surprise after the gloomy forecasts which
had been made "a TO the decrease OF
reserve. The banks lost ia cash 3,4Ol,3lo,
or S3.E5.So0 less than the contraction or
the previous week. but the loss in loans
was S5.984.70), as against s3,u94oo for the
week ending August 18th. The actual
decrease In reserve for the week was
only si275lj. the total now outstanding
being s9272.65o.
Tho heayiest change was In deposits.
which shrank S9.90ll0). This was the
logical effect OF the contraction in loans,
and the withdrawal OF funds TO the West
and South. the movement toward these
two points continuing IN undiminlshed
volume The continued demand for
money for these centres. OF course. makes
10 necessary for the banks TO eau IN ont
standing loans, and tho statement shows
that this was what prevented much
heavier loss in reserve. In fact, the POSI-
ton Of the banks is as strong az It was
one week ago, as they have taken tull
measures to protect themselves but as
money is badly needed. the issue Of
Clearinghouse certificates, II decided
upon at a meeting 70 be called Monday
will come as a relief TO the mercantile
world. AS the banks hold on an average
their full % per cent. reserve, they are
in c position, perhaps, 10 postpone this
move but on the other hand, an expan-
sion OF credit at this time might prevent
unfortunate liquidation. The importation
OF nearly three millions OF gold, If fol-
lowed by additional shipments, would have
the same effect. The bank-note expansion
now going on cannot be made heavy
enough to answer the full purpose. In
view OF the plain purpose Of certificates az
this time. conservative bank presidents
do not think that their issue would be
followed by cash Withdrawals or hoard
ing
The extent OF the shrinkage which has
been going on this season can De under
stood better when II Is stated that the
loans OF the New York banks are now
nearly Sj5.O00ooO less than for the cor
responding week last year, and deposits
are $ll3, $500 lower.
