What the Financier Says

What the Financier Says
 New York, September 1O.-The Financier says:
 The surplus of the New York associated banks are now lower than at any time since the panic of 1893. Two years ago this month the surplus dropped to some- thing like $S,200,000, but call money then was at prohibitive figures and imports of gold followed immediately. Now, confront ed by an interior demand which has aver aged in past seasons over $3O,Op0.ooO, with the treasury absorbing additional millions each week on bond payments, and with business expanding in every direction, money is loaning at per cent, although the fact of the matter is that the banks have little if any money to loan. The ex- cess reserve of the New York banks is in the hands of few institutions. The ma ority of banks are loaned up to and beyond the required limit. The statement for the current week is about what was antici- pated. The treasury took $4 O00,OO0 from the bond account, and the loss to the interior was between 5000 900 and $2,00000 The clearing house report makes the loss of cash about $13,0O0000 The decrease in de- posits reached the unusually large sum of S20, ,487 zoo, which was due to the cash con- traction noted, and the falling off of $6,- 77S,700 in loans It Is to be noted that had the banks not called in outstanding loans the surplus reserve would have practically disappeared. The present financial situation is anomalous. The country never had so much money, but it is so distributed that il is unavailing for use, and it is now needed more than ever. The treasury, it is true, by anticipating interest an maturity on bonds, is exhausting every resource to restore to circulation its idle funds, but the effects of this policy are not yet ap- parent. As the circumstances which have brought about an unprecedented condition are apt to continue for some time, addi- tional gold imports are certain. Banks up to this time have discouraged the idea of a stringency in money, but unless some relief is speedily obtained, it is difficult to
