SATURDAY, Jan. %.
The weekly statement of averages of the As
ISOLATED Banks published to-day contains
changes of more than ordinary magnitude.
The Street had expected a large increase In
the amount of lawful money held by the
banks, because Of the known disbursements by
the Treasury and the receipts OF currency from
the interior. No inkling had boon obtained.
however. of the extraordinary. increase in
the loans. and tho Street appeared to DO
unable to obtain any satisfactory informa-
ton regarding that change. The detailed
statement shows that 76 per cent. ;or about
$4,000, 900. of the increase In loans results from
the operations of the bank In which tho city
now keeps It's principal deposit; and 1t is I'M
derstood that this increase is the result OF
borrowings by the city on Its short term
revenue bonds. Circumstantial evidence In
support of this view Is found In the fact that the
deposits of the bank referred to have been ip-
creased to about the same amount az its loans.
The remaining % y cent. OF the increase In the
aggregate loans of the banks is easily explained
by the accommodations extended to commercial
borrowers and dealers in securities. 1t may be
remarked that money lenders are now exceed
ing DESTROYS of placing their funds because OF
the plethora of unemployed capital.
The deposits of the Associated Banks are now
the largest in their history. but 1t should be re-
membered that they have been swollen by
the retention by the banks OF about $780,
100000 OF the money paid the Govern
ment on account OF the purchase Of the
Union Pacific Railroad by the Reorganization
Committee, and also by tho borrowings no cd
above by the city government. 1t 10 quite
likely, in view of the present easy condition
Of the money market, that tho Government
may cover into tho Treasury In the
near future q third. or possibly one-half.
of the money held for Its account by q number
of the Clearing House banks- The transfer Of
the funds eQRld undoubtedly DO accomplished
