Money in Bank

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The weekly bank

decrease, s2,614, 900; specie increase,
$a3S. 200: legal tenders increase, S26,-
400: deposits decrease s4676O0: circulation
increase, $46 500. The banks now hold sl4.-
614, 800 in excess of requirements of the 20
per cent rule.
The Financier says a feature of the
statement of the associated banks of New
York city for the week ending October

shrinkage in loans. 1t is rather difficult
to exp ain the loss. except or the theory

usual and the treasury demands have been
light. All the gold imported last week
does not figure in the totals SO that it is
reasonable to suppose that the position
of the banks, so far as cash is concerned
is stronger than indicated. The statement
points to an easier money market in the
absence of any marked activity in specu-
lation, and the official statements of the
national banks of the United States, as
published this week, showing their strong
position with reference to reserves,
strengthens this view. The rising rates
for morIey abroad and the continued ease
here foreshadow a situation such as pre-
vailed last season, when the United States
sent large amounts to Europe on sterling
bills. The quotations for money in New
York and London are undergoing changes
which will probably place foreign above
domestic rates for some time to come.
