The banks, to tell the TRUTH are eA'
hibiting a degree of strength in the race
OF present demands upon them that Is
little short of marvellous. Within the past
week, despite the increase OF S9,l 3'loo III
deposits, necessitating enlarged reserve re
ouirements OF over $2,250,O00, their sur
plus reserve decreased only little oVei
81 100000. The gain in cash was due te
deposit additions. Specie receipts were w.
634 900. mostly from the Pacific, and the
losses of legal tenders were about S2,5oo'
600. This shrinkage was due to ship
ments TO interior institutions. But thai
the demand forecasts a continued loss 4
uncertain, as the interior banks are re
markably strong in reserves and will prob
ably be able to supply their own need'
without calling on balances here.
The loan expansion of $s,567,7OO, judg
ing from known conditions, ought to b.
traced to stock exchange sources, espec
tally with reference to securities returned
from abroad. But closer analysis of IN
system indicates that special operations
involving two or three banks at the mos
have brought about the increases and de
creases. Thus the deposits OF one insti
tuition have been swelled above 81 100000
while its loans are at least 100000
heavier
