Associated Banks Statement.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2s.-The statement OF the
New York banks for the week ending December
q is decidedly favorable in its showing, es-
pecally with reference 20 cash changes. The
gains in legal tenders and specie were 50 572 100
and as the increase in deposits was only nom
inal. the new cash goes 10 meet excess reserve,
bringing that item TO $40 sS4,075. the highest
point touched since last August. The state
ment has been affected by number OF infu-
ences Of conflicting and unusual character.
which perhaps explain why the final figures
are at variance with earlier estimates To be-
