The New York Financier says: The
statement of the clearing house banks OF
New York city for the week ending April
Is unimportant in Its general features.
the operations Of the week being shown
In the decrease in the reserve, leaving the
excess cash In banks at G7.0S.gs5 as
against 81. eee e5 for the same week last
year. The excess reserve touched Its low
est point. Sl3. f3, $50 on March %. 1895. and
from that time began to increase. stand
ing four weeks later at s., 27o.65. But
during that time the imports Of gold were
in excess of exports. and the movement
from Europe during the month of May
amounted to 81. 90. sSS. The interior move
ment at the same time was heavy, the
reserve OF the New York banks standing
on May Is. 1896. al Si0.o05. l50 This showing
is interesting, in view Of the present situa-
ton. when the total reserve Of the banks
is decreasing and a resumption OF gold ex
ports is announced to begin next Sunday
by one of the committee. The government
also has a large sum Of money deposited
with designated banks. and call for
portion of this may be made at any time.
The movement from the interior has not
been as yet factor. The reserves of many
of the New York banks are already down
TO the required limit, and the outlook.
deepite the comparisons with last year,
does lot seem TO favor easier rates at pres
ent. The explanation Of this hes In the fact
that the conditions are 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 1s2e.
Exports and Imports.
The exports OF specie from the port of
New York for the week amounted to sl.ll0.-
$50 in silver. The imports were: Gold $i3,-
