MAKING MANY LOANS.
An Indication of Improved Bust
ness Activity.

New York, Feb. 13.-The New York
Financer says this week:
a further shrinkge of So, 001 ,S25 in
the reserve of the New York clearing
house banks, coming after the previous
weeks decrease of $;5,608, 900, makes the
Total contraction of the past fourteen
days $500, S25.
in the same time the decrease in cash
was S5,23l. POO This is favorable from !,
banking point of view, and especially
since loans have expanded during the
same time nearly 81 900, 900; but the ex.
cess reserve of the banks is still SOL ,63S,-
225, and the outlook for better rates in
the money market is not vsibly brighter
a factor of some Importance in the sit
uation at present is the rapid contraction
OF circulation. The decrease to the
present time, counting October. has been
about ~, U00, 900, and as the normal aver.
age of the New York banks is slightly
under SID, Goo, 900, IL further reduction is
to he looked for. The movement will he
slower from now on, for the reason that
the 100000 monthly limit on circula-
ton decreases in the Treasury has been
reached.
The changes in the statement for the
week are Indicative of better business
Loans have increased 1850, 00O. The
contracted 1856, 100. While some of these
changes originally would not be important
they are worthy. of attention ut present
as showing lighter movement of currency
to this ccntle. The falling off isprobably
not somuch on account of low rates of in
tercst on balances as because of II renewed
demand for loans in other quarters and
this of itself is rather important. The
incident veriiies the forecast made some
time since in this analysis-that the
banks could not look for relief through
gold exports, and, as further bond loans
were out of the question, II domestic cx-
pansion in business. afforded the only
measure Of profit.
Up to this time the commercial activity
has not been so marked, but the contii.
tions III the statement show that bust
ness is giving signs OF revival, the extent
OF which cannot be judged ut present
with any degree of certainty.
