MONEY TO BE- EASIER
THAT is THE PREDICTION OF THE
FINANCIER IN ITS REVIEW
FOR THE WEEK
BANK STATEMENT IMPROVED

Made "a Better Showing Than Had
Been Anticipated, and EncOur-
aged Those Who Had Looked for
Relief From the Prolonged Strain
Dividend Disbursements Help
the Situation Materially.
NEW YORK, Dec 23-The Financier
says:
1.-The statement of the New York banks
for the week ending Dec. % is decidedly
favorable in its showing, especially with
reference to cash changes The gains in
legdls and specie were $3,572, 100, and as
the increase in deposits was only nominal,
the new cash goes to meet excess re-
serve, bringing that item to $40, 1884, 075, the
highest point touched since last August
The statement has been influenced by a
number Of happenings of conflicting and
unusual character, which, perhaps, ex-
plains why the final figures are at va
rance with earlier estimates. To begin
with, the liquidation of So, 0OO, 900 in loans
is smaller than the known operations
over the past week called for. The addi-
ton of So, 600 of gold reserve, despite
the loss of 100000 Of gold on Dec. 16
| was unexpected, but the treasury dis
bursements and the receipt OF specie from
the West Indies a week ago have more
than counteracted the earlier loss.
THE exports of specie to Europe Sat
urday are not included in the present
statement. What bearing they will have
on the next exhibit of the banks is
problematical. 1t is quite likely, however,
! that the opening of the new year viii
witness the usual movement of funds as
between this center and the interior.
Dividend disbursements are bringing
into the market a fresh supply of free
currency. The usual semi-annuaJ dis
/ turbances incident to payments of this
character are now fully discounted.
The changed condition of affairs with
respect to business over the country does
not make for a repetition Of the influx
of interior money to New York, which
was SO pronounced at this time last year,
but the rates quoted on domestic ex-
change at important centers shows that
the tendency is in favor of New York.
1t will be recalled that the rise in Sc
curities, beginning in January, had it's
origin largely in the superabundance of
money flowing this way There is no
prospect that the return this year will
approach that of last winter for the
simple reason that the money of the coun-
try is employed in active business. Eu-
rope also stands ready to bid for excess
cash at present. The outlook then, while
it is assuming a more comfortable aspect,
seems to forecast a moderate money mar
ket, with no stringency and no idle over
supply"

are not sanguinary, but there are so
many of them that the aggregate of
deaths is quite appalling.

And in Colombia, only few weeks ago,

With the Philippines we took an en-

of it $500 lives have SO far been sacri-

So far the story has been simply one

Las Pinas, San Fernando, San Luis,
Santa Rita and 50 on from town to

the story of the last eleven months.

we accept that terrible year of 1863, when,
