The Financier,s Review.

New York. Oct. 2S-The Financier will
say: The statement of the associated
banks of New York CITY for the week end
ing Oct. IS, was unexpectedly favorable in
its showing. Predictions based on known
movements of money had been that the
banks would show a loss of something
like 81 100000 in cash. Instead of this the
decrease was less than $l00,000. and as, de-
posts contracted Sc, 740. 200. lessening the
reserve requirement 81, 6So, $50, the surplus
cash in banks was swelled to $,03S, so.
This amount, small as ii seems in COM
parison with the usual excess, is still the
largest reported since the opening Of
September. To what extent the settle
ment reflects the actual condition of the
banks cannot be determined.
Certainly the known movement of
money over the past six days has been in
favor of New York either on treasury
or interior account and the sudden rise
in cali loans Friday does not seem con-
sistent under the circumstances. The in
terror is still drawing on this center, and
the banks have lost TO the treasury The
banks, however, while they are stronger
in reserve than at the close of the prev
ious week have recouped at the expense
of outstanding commitments, loans haV-
ing been contracted 81, at, 800.
This process has been followed now with
but brief intermiSSion for a period extend
ing back to July, and the shrinkage from
the high point of the year is no less than
SOS, 900. 900 On July Sth, when loans and
deposits were at a maximum. the excess
reserve was only S1,0O0,0O0. How the con-
tinuous drain in cash since that time has
been met IS easily perceived.
The continuance of this manner of meet
ing an extraordinary demand is probably
nearing an end, for the normal season for
a return flow of money is at hand. If
the bank averages are correct. the crop
demand is over, but there is nothing more
substantial on which to base a statement
than this demand has ended.
The truth of the matter is that condi-
tionS this year are so widely different
from previous years, that a comparison
is almost impossible. The interior banks
are unusually strong in cash, and while
New York is the lOaning center, the sur
plus of money for the purpose are forth
coming on demand from sections which
up to this year have not entered into COM
petition with the New York institutions,
While New York shows an unparalleled
falling off in loans, official national bank
figures prove that the volume of loans
the country over is larger than ever.
