FlNANClER'S STATEMENT.

New York, Oct. 2-The Firancier says: The statement of the associated banks of New York city for. the week ending October is proof lIlpat that there Is no occasion fer the fears entertained ear Her in the season of actual stringency in the money market. Despite the steady drain on the banks by reason of the in- terior demand for crop money the re-
 $500, while the reserve has decreased point The liquidation in loans contin- ued. the loss for the week bringing the total to the amount of $7,320,000 under that reported three weeks ago. In the same time deposits diave fallen off ST. 605 ,300 while the erssrve has decreased about $5.000.000. As money has been going to the interior at the rate of four or five millions weekly during thas time it will be seen dnat the banks have stood the drain very easily. The demand for funds stFl continues, though in les sened volume than in September, for several weeks past. The decreased de- poslts for the past week, of course, low cred the reserve requirements apprecia- ply. The $1,400,000 gold received from Europe by one of the banks does not seem to figure in the October statement. In the report of the changes the larger banks have been usually heavy during the last week, the western banks having unusually heavy receipts, reporting no loss as a rule, although these figures have been affected by the general hqui- dation. Three of the New York banks last week made their clearing house set dement's in gold owing to the scarcity of legal tenders. It would not be strange in fact wslre the treasury to follow suit in this particular before the close of the year. sff
