Money in Bank

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
surplus reserve increase, $500, 200: loans
decrease, Sc, ,941, 900; specie increase. $500 =
600; legal tender increase, S2167, 900; deposits
increase, $1sS5, 500; circulation increase,
$104, 200. The banks now hold $22 904, 100 in
excess of requirements of the % per cent
rule.
The Financier says:
The statement of the associated banks
of New York for the week ending October
23d shows an increase in reserve of 49, 49,
200 in two weeks. Loans in the same time
have decreased almost in the same proper
ton, while deposits have remained sta
tionary. The liquidation. therefore, ap-
pears to have been carried on in manner
that has not disturbed the deposits. but
this affords no explanation of the current
business of the week. The gain in cash
has been largely in the form of specie, the
banks holding $24, 600 more gold than
legal tenders. The specie increase, of
course, is due to the imports of last month,
and the expansion of legal tenders prob
ably represents the first of the return tide
of currency from the interior. The flow
of money to the west is checked for the
present. That the banks recognize the
general tendency to ship idle money to
this center is revealed in rumors of gen.
ances from to 11s per cent. This has
been tried before, not only in New York,
but In other cities. but it does not always
prove effective, for the reason that the diff
ferent banks cannot be brought to work in
concert. The official statements of the ma
tional banks in widely different sections of
the country, indicating very large cash re-
sources, show what may be expected when
money begins to flow in this direction in
hi LOT tn
banks are now in the New York market
for commercial paper, and many others
are paying off loans before maturity. The
shrinkage in loans for the week, however.
is not attributed to this source. Part of
of the loss is due to operations involved
in the gold import movement and to liquid
alton of maturing paper that under diff
ferent circumstances would have been re-
newed. There~is no question that some
of the surplus money in banks will be alb
sorbed in 6.scounting sterling bills and
also in the Union Pacific foreclosure set

the association is reorganized. Mr.. Hyde
is reported to be a very reliable person
and to have promptly locked up all the
assets in a safety deposit box and put
the key in his pocket. In the meantime
the policy holders are being assured that
the association is just as strong as before,
which is probably true, but not very re-
assuring, and that 1t will be reorganized
at as early a date as possible. which is
an extremely oracular promise. The prob
abilities are that this is the beginning OF
the end of the concern. The old and reli-
able National Life of Vermont will not be
sorry. The Hartford concern has been
trading on the good name of the Vermont
company, to the latter's annoyance, long
enough.-The Investigator.

OF Rand VS.. the Massachusetts Benefit Life
association. that the provision of the Mas

taking of risks on the lives of persons over
sixty years of age relates to original in

risks it has taken, the insured having been

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Oct 23-The revelation
through yesterdays advance in wheat of
The amount of the bullish feeling underly
ing the market ignited good deal of
imouldering sentiment of a similar char
acter that appeared to have existed
throughout the country. The market felt
he effect of that at the opening. Commis-
sion houses had all the buying orders they
could manage for half an hour, and selling
was confined chiefly to the people who had
good profits in long wheat they were will
ing to accept. The elevator people also had
a little wheat to sell, presumably against
purchases of cash wheat in the country;
It least, that was supposed by the traders
n the pit to be the basis of sales by Ar
mour & Co. and the Weare Commission
company of about 100000 bushels each.
That had no influence, however, at the
ime for the sales referred to were made
at from 81 to S4A for December deliveries
and the price ranged Immediately after to
'45s or " above closing asd highest price
# the day before. Liverpool was up 1Ad.

The single agency question is still being
agltated among the fire insurance man
ayers in San Francisco, and it is under
