SURPLUS RESERVES OF BANKS
LOWER THAN AT ANY TIME
SINCE PANIC OF 1898.
Majority of Banks Loaned Up to Re
quired Limit-Lots of Money, But
Unavailable For Use.

New York, Sept. 10.-The weekly
bank statement shows the following
changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease, S7.914,275;
loans. decrease. S6,77S,7OO specie, de-
crease. s10,661, 500; legal tenders, de-
crease, 81, 424, 400; deposits, decrease,
$40, 4S7, 200; circulation, increase, SCI, 200.
The banks now hold $7,076,775 in excess
of the requirements of the % per cent
rule.
The Financier says: The surplus re-
serves 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
depressed TO something like IS, 200, 0G0,
but call money then was at prohibitive
figures and imports of gold followed
Immediately. Now confronted by an in
terror demand which has averaged in
past seasons over $50, 900, 600, with the
treasury absorbing additional millions
each week on bond payments and with
business expanding in every direction,
money is loaned at per cent, although
the fact of the matter is that the banks
have little If any money to loan. The
excess reserve of the New York banks
is in the hands of a few institutions.
The majority of the banks are loaned
up to and beyond the required limit
The statement of the current week is
about what was anticipated. The treas
ury took $4,000, 900 from the banks on
bond account and the loss to the in
terror between 81, O00, 900 and 81, 000, 900.
The clearing house report makes the
loss of cash about S13, 600, 900. The de-
crease in deposits reached the usual
largve sum of $50, 4S7, 700, which was due
to the cash contraction noted and the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-11

falling off of sS.77S.700 in loans. 1t is
to be noted that had the banks not
called in outstanding loans the surplus
reserve would have practically disap-
peared- The present financial situation
is anomalous The country never had
so much money, but it is distributed so
that it is unavailable for use and il is
needed now more than ever. The treas
ury. it is true, by anticipating interest
and maturity of bonds, is exhausting
every resource to restore to circulation
its idle funds, but the effects of this
policy are not yet apparent. As the
circumstances which have brought
about an unprecedented condition are
apt to continue for some time. the
banks up to this time have discouraged
the idea of d stringency in money, but
unless some relief is speedily obtained
it is difficult to see how present rates
can long prevail. The promised increase
in bank circulation is slow in material
izing and will probably come, as has
been the case in past years. after the
real demand for it has passed.
AS matters stand today the continued
contraction in loans with resultant
higher quotations, seems Inevitable.

concluded to recommend that award
be made of one battleship to each of
the three bidders, provided the other
two would accept the Cramp scheme

BIG ELECTRIC PLANT.
First Ironworks to Adopt Electricity
For Power.

Pittsburg, Sept. Arrangements
are now being made by the officials of
the Pennsylvania Tube Works company
for the installation of a complete cleo
trio plant in its great works on Second
avenue, to cost 100000 and the opera
ton of the entire plant by electricity.
This will be the first large iron mill in
the United States to adopt electricity
for power, and it i elieved that the
prejudice that has existed among iron
manufacturers for some time will be
quickly broken through by other large
plants. 1t is the intention of the tube
company to erect one central power
plant of about 1,000-horse power and
distribute the electricity through the
lap and butt-weld departments to
