NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

NEW YORK, Dec. H.-The Financier says The statement of the clearing house banks of New York for the week ending December 24 shows for the first time in some weeks the banks have not been able to make of the surplus funds which are flowing to this city. The result Is that excess reserves are increased by over g 900. GOO and stand at s1s, 0,0o0. the highest figure reported since the last of october. In the period mentioned, however, the loans of the banks have expanded S45, 000, 900 and deposits almost S53. GOO GOO. Facts like preaching hrmness in money rates. The in- crease in loans for the past week was s. 657, ,3G0 which Is smaller than had been anticipated. A detailed analysis seems to show that special operations by one two large banks inter- fered with the logical features of the week S operations. As results prove the net receipts Of cash. almost exclusively in the form of specie. were $4,655, 60Q It Is known that gold is being received in, large amounts from San larger interior remittances were in favor of New York, as were also operations with the sub-treasury: The cash gain therefore. is easily explained, but since has not been made for the money the tendency is iowa I'd idle accumulations and maintenance of mini mum rates for funds. After the first of the year there may be a change in this condition but 1t is difficult to how 1t can be more than temporary. The immense volume of trade reported by the country at large certainly inn plies demand for money, but despite this fact and the equally important revelations have resulted in heavy loans of American bal ances to nearly every important Continental center. the plethora of money is clearly estab- lished.
 The treasury has called for the payment of $S, ,Oo0 900 of Pacific Railway funds in banks but this will be returned in staIlments and will not equal the disbursements which the redemption of the currency 6s will necessitate next month. If there was no balance due the United States from Europe the situation might be regarded with caution, owing to the enormous expansion which has taken place. could create serious complications in the money market.
