Associated Banks Statement.

NEW YORK. Dec 30-The Finnncier saws:
The statement OF the New York Clearing house
banks for the week ending December 30 shows
a further decline OF s7S4 600 in the surplus re-
serve. the total now standing at 81. .lss, ,075 AS
the during the previous week all the
cash -ained by the banks went TO swell the
excess reserve since deposit requirements were
lessened by the shrinkage in that item The
statement Is favorable and indicates that the
influx OF funds from the interior In the past
six days has been quite heavy as has been
estimated. The loss of gold TO Europe by Sat
urday's steamer does not count in the current
exhibit. but the exports of a week ago figure
20 the full extent. The outward iow therefore
has been almost made UP by subsequent receipts
and the gain in legal tenders represents the
surplus shipments from the Interior The banks
have maintained their position far as cash
is concerned but they have added little TO their
loanng capacity. IL the experience OF January
last year Is criterion heavy receipts for the
next few weeks may be expected from domestic
centers, with the difference that whereas last
winter the New York banks retained all the
money that forwarded they must now
provide for the demands that Europe is now
making for American gold. Still the present
arrangements with the Treasury are such that
there win be no further drain OF domestic funds
into Government vaults. operation that
takes money out OF use even more effectively
than gold exports. The continuance OF the
present movement is important in that Il de-
termines the extent to which the banks can
expand their loans and. above that. the rates
which they will obtain on them. As the same
factors incident to the transfer OF funds which
mark the January period in the United States
are operative abroad conservative bankers are
figuring that the return flow OF money from
various centers into the great foreign banks
will tend TO make rates easier abroad and
affect exchange quotat ons 20 the point OF stop
ping exports OF gold from New York II THIS
Is the case the banks here will probably re-
cuperate their resources at least they Will
be in position TO expand their commitments
AS II Is loans are now almost stationary,
while deposits are being reduced. No one looks
however. for the burst OF expansion that
marked the opening OF the great rise in specu-
lative prices In January last.
