The Ffnaneier says: The statement is
sued by the clearing house banks of New
York city for the week ending January is
more effective argument IN favor Of al
immediate low money market than col
umns or theoretical discussion. The snor-
nous increase in deposits and in cash hold
ings have been equaied only once and that
was for the week ending November IA sue
ceeding the election. These gains, IL is
needless TO say. were the result OF the
January dividend payments, the continued
flow OF money 20 this center and the large
increase in savings deposits. As there IS
no outlet for this money the usual winter
gold exports having been postponed. the
tGal cash gain appears much larger than
during any previous year. The expansion
os deposits, unaccompaiend by an increase
IN loans as IS usually the case. also shows
clearly the source OF the accumulation
and the result OF the weeks operations has
been 20 increase lry SO 1ol. 800 idle cash in
the New York banks bringing the total ex-
cess reserve up 10 IS, sai. $50, which is larger
than for two years past IL Is only logical
therefore 70 look for q continued low
money market and higher rates for foreign
exchange. the conditions favoring both
circumstances. II was from almost similar
causes that the large sterling hoans were
made in this market recently. and II money
rates abroad so higher, as appears prob
able. some interesting developments may
be expected 20 result. The large gains
reported for the current week were fore
Swallowed IN this analysis not long since
bar TIRE very great increases have surpass-
ed all expectations. and Il becomes inter
essfug therefore 20 watch how the banks

plus funds and whether Europe Mil not
