Money in Bank

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The weekly bank

Increase, IS, ,416, 100; specie, decrease, s2O4,-
700; legal tenders. decrease, $4,00S,0OO; de-

crease, s536, 100. The banks now hold SS4,-
114,15O in excess of the requirements of
the 25 per cent rule.
The Financier says: AS predicted in our
last weeks Issue, there are considerable
changes in the bank statement this week.
bearing out the facts of continued busi-
ness improvement. Loans increased SS,41S,-
700 and deposits 81. 1884 400, while the ex-
cess in reserve shows decrease of $780,
GOO. Currency shipments to the interior
were between four and five millions, and
the statements reflects this in decrease of
legal tenders to the amount of S400S. 900,
while specie Is $204, ZOO lower. 1t is proba.-
BILE that next week will see much larger
demand for currency from the interior
banks. Compared with the statement of
the corresponding period of last year there
are the following changes: Loans have in
creased $l1S,221, 100, or about 25 per cent;
net deposits. s194, 600, or about 4S per
cent, and the total reserve has increased
$73, ,557, 800 That prosperity is here and like
ly to remain can be no longer doubted. Chi
cago and St. Louis are to a considerable ex-
tent supplying the present demand for
crop movements, but the demand from
these centers is pretty sure to be felt soon
by the New York banks. The strength of
foreign exchange, which is over the gold
exporting figure and indicates that the
large trade balances due us from the other
side are being utilized to purchase our
own securities, for they are being loaned
at better rates than can be obtained in
New York.

Insurance Times. It's members saw that
they had been played with from the start,
and it was only natural, therefore. for
them to resent the deception and trickery
to which they had been treated by the
association by deserting it. No change of
officers could soften their anger. Most of
them had nothing to lose, and only those
who are unable to obtain insurance else
where are left to mourn.

The result of the New York insurance
departments examination of the Mutual
Fire Insurance company was made public
at Albany on August 18th. The report
shows the condition of the company as
of June Goth last as follows: Assets, $775,-
0S6; liabilities, 1915, $50; contribution capital,
$225, 900; surplus beyond all liabilities, STA
075. The examiner, in his report, says:
in view of the fact that, previous to
this examination, certain charges have
been publicly made against this company,
involving the correctness of its last annual
statement to the insurance department.
beg to report that I made a careful ex-
animation of the companys books and
records from which the items composing
the assets and liabilities in its annual re-
turn were made, and, as result of such
investigation. I find that certain Items of
assets as therein set forth were over
estimated, and certain items of liabilities
underestimated."
AS a result of the overestimate of assets
and underestimate of liabilities, above re-
ferred to, the surplus of the company, COM
pared with January 1st last, has been re-
duced by s103,116
r. A. Lowenthal, the president of the
company, made the following statement:
"The difference in surplus is mainly ac-
counted for by the Improbable experience
of the company for the six months in ques-
ton. as the attacks upon the company and
the expenses of litigation into whicS1t has
been forced have resulted in a loss Of
nearly $4,000. Furthermore, under the
rules of the department certain assets were
not admitted and were excluded from the
statement, amounting in the aggregate to
over $25, 900. which, with the $780, coo previous
ly referred to, leaves less than $50 900
ascribable to differences of opinion or
errors of judgment as to the value of Sc
curities. amounting to sS32 400. and to the
possible underestimate of liabilities"
