What the Finnncier says

New York, July S.-The Financier says: 1he associated banks of New York, if their statement for the week ending July is to be accepted as correct. have less surplus cash now than at any time (with the eN- ception of September 1S9S) since the 1893 panic. But the current exhibit is so com plicated by the incidents due to July dis bursements and also by the system Of av- erages employed in making it that its to- tai don't possess the significance that otherwise attaches to them. The loss of about eco in cash, for instances, IS very much more than usual opera tions called for, and the expansion of nearly ST. O00,090 in loans must reflect the previous weeks business. The demands for accom- modation within the past four days cer tainly did not necessitate this violent rise. As the statement stands, it plainly indi- cates that every dollar of the loans have been taken from the banks in cash and withdrawal of deposits have been by a sim liar operation Manifestly this is an impos- sible contingency. A more detailed planation shows that of the loss in cash the National City and the Chase National banks are responsible for the entire re- duction, the National City's loss having been about S6e90. GOO and it's increase in loans more than $6, GOO It is interesting to note in this connection that whereas the average reserve of all the banks is now 25.5 per cent, a loss of 1 per cent, the re- serve exclusive of the institution named is 26 per cent. In other words 62 of the 63 banks have within a small fraction of l per cent. of as much as reported at the opening of July. The refusal of call money to advance perceptibly in the face of the showing made by the banks proves that the situation is pretty we'll understood and that no fears are entertained as to the fu- ture. During the next week the banks will gain heavily in cash, not only on govern ment account, but from other sources as we'll It is perhaps no eXaggeration to say that at the close of business Saturday the various institutions were in much better shape in every way than their statements would imply. The maintenance of a per cent. rate on call money is of itself enough to induce movement of currency in this direction.
