Associated Banks Statement.

NEW YORK. Dec 2-The Ffnancler says:
The statement OF the associated banks OF New
York City FOR the week ending December
shows that the Institutions are finding ready
employment for the supplies Of money they are
accommodating from the treasury, although
a matter Of fact the averages are so dominated
by the changes reported by one large bank
that general deductions are somewhat difficult
70 make The National City Bank which az
the close OF the previous week reported all the
gains In cash. proving conclusively that the
other institutions had not bettered their posi-
ton from reserve standpoint. appears in q
somewhat similar role IN the current exhibit.
This bank. with the National Park Bank.
cumulstet nearly all the excess cash that has
been received. and the former has sade practi-
cslly all the new loans and gained half the de-
posit increases. The inference Is that the Do
sltion of the other banks has changed only
slightly for the better during the week With
different meaning. but. taking the exhibit
whole. the totals are 10 be regarded as salts
factory. Expansions in loans and In deposits
show that the contractions which have charac-
terlZed these Items with little internission since
July last are perhaps at end The banks,
with the certainty Of 4 source OF replenishment.
now that the treasury has extended the period
OF bond purchases, are apparently willing 10
demand from the interior is at an end IL Is only
reasonable 20 expect that the totals will show
Increases over the year. In view OF the
fact that the country is doing much larger
volume OF business and is using much more
money than was the last year IL is not
expected that the banks here will be able even
II willing. 10 encourage such rise in loans as
occurred from January well into the spring OF
this year. The surplus reserve OF the banks IS
now $. $685. 700 which is only about half that
reported for the opening week in December
