THE BAN KSTATEMENT.
New York. April 10.-The F:nancier says:
Despite the fact that the banks gained
largely from the interior during the week.
the statement of the associated banks for
the week ending April 10 shows an actual
decrease of S2.32i.C0O in cash. But. it is al
together likely that the statement. owing 10
the system Of averages used in computing
the totals, is a reflection of the previous
weeks transactions. There is certainly
nothing TO bear out the changes reported
for the six days ending April 10; thus wehin
TWO weeks the New York banks have ap-
parently lost s.177.300 cash. and while this
represents approximately the payments in
to the treasury on custom duties, no az
count seems TO have been made OF the cash
which has come into the banks during that
time. The deposits of the banks during
the last month amounted 10 over twelve
and three-Quarter millions. In the same
time loans have decreased about three and
half millions, while the excess reserve fell
of over six and one half millions. The
actual cash holdings of the banks are al
most ten millions less than they were one
month ago. so that while the successive
changes from week to week appear small,
the operations for the month in the aggre-
gate nave considerably reduced The free
cash in banks. The payments by importers
into the treasury are responsible for the
greater part of the loss in cash holdings,
ard the fact that the treasury has been
gaining largely from the banks is an addi-
tional evidence in this particular. For the
moment the course of the loan market is
the operators of the past
week resulting in a decrease OF s230, 100 |
This, however. coming after the heavy Il
quotation of the past several weeks. IS
small and leads 10 the hope that the turing
point may have been reached.
