NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Fears of Tighter Money Knocked
Ont by the showing Made.

~%''' VI money IN n lock Ell
Out by the Showing Made.
New York, Dec. 31-The Financier says:
The statement of the associated banks of
New York Tor the week ending Dec. 81 is
an argument In favor of easier money
rates. The banks since Dec a have gain
ed in cash $j,746.200 and there deposits have
expanded nearly 100000 As the gains in
cash or in deposits were almost Identical
the reserve has been increased in propor-
uon-that is, about IS per cent. of the to-
tai cash expansion. The result is that the
margin of excess reserve has been increas-
ed %, 265.300 and at the close of Che week
stands at Hj,7SS,750. In view of this show
ing, all fears of stringency over the close
of the year must be dismissed
During the next week the Union Pacific
committee will make another $S0O0.O30 paw
mept into the treasury, and there is no
likelihood that it VIII have any more eff
feet on the market than last weeks set
temcnt of a similar amount caused This
will end a transact lion which has had an
important bearing ON money affairs for
some time, and a normal period will sue
coed it,
'The decrease OF S2,S24 ZOO in loans for the
current week appears TO have been more
than accounted for through the operations
of three large banks. Probably the in
crease in call loan rates earlier in the
week was responsible for this, but as
matter of fact the detailed statement
shows the loan item in the majority of
banks higher than at the close of the pre-
vious week The annual dividend period.
with its call for over 800 100000 of dis
bursements in New York has caused more
or less shifting of funds. and it is only
natural that there should be an increase
in the cash necessary for payments. If
the current statement reflects the actual
business of the banks. the deposit gain
during the past six days has been in cash
rather than in credits"
