Review OF tine Bank Statement.
The Finzneier says feature e The
statement % the associated banks px New
York city Ter the week ending October
IS that attracted some attention was the
shiakaEe IA leans. IL - rather dsfacut
shrinkagr n loans. except or ne theory
that there has been = great deal of ttau1-
dation IN stock exchange business. and
an analysis Of the items Of the Individual
banks shows loan changes IN two iAfEe
institutions-Ehe National IBien and the
National City hanks-to account fer the
difference reported since the previous
week.
N the increase OF speculation The gain
OF legal ten1srs-the first expansion In
this stem since August >-SeerES 20 show
that the interior movement : neArins an
end This Is rot exactly the case. Al
though the drain during the week has
been less than usual. and the treasury
demands have been light. Al the sod
imported last week does not figure ia the
totals. 50 that IL Is reasonable 20 suppose
that the position Of the banks. 50 far As
cash Is concerned. Is stronger than tndi-
Gated.
The statement points 20 an easier money
market. and an absence % any marked
activity IN speculation. and the offciAI
statements Of the national banks % the
United States as published this week,
showing their strong position with refer
ence to reserves. Strengthens this view
The rising rates fer money &hrnad ara

situation such as prevailed last season,
when the United States sent large
amounts to Europe Of sterling bills The
