Associated Banks Statement.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The Financier says;
The Clearing house banks of New York City
were able last week. through the familiar
operation Of contracting loans and lessening de-
posit liabilities, to strengthen their position,
surplus reserves having risen to nearly $500
600 as against about $3.50. 900 for the week pre-
yious This was accomplished in the face of an
actual loss of 81, 900 in cash, an amount
rather less than the known operations of the
week had prepared the street to expect. The
wholesale liquidation which has been in evil
dence for some days past is reflected in con-
traction of $17 see, 500 in loans and coincident
reduction of 500, ,793 900 in deposits.
The shrinkage in the latter item, lowering
as 1t did the reserve liability by 25 per cent,
why with money still flowing into the Treas
ury and to the West, the banks are able to end
the week in a stronger position from a casn
standpoint than they began It. In the past
three weeks the decrease in loans had been
no less than thirty-one millions, while deposits
have been reduced over fifty millions. In the
nineteen million. The latter item explains the
drift of banking operations very well, for II
is known that the loss of specie and legals 10
the interior has not been as heavy as the fig-
ures given above indicate. The money has
flown in large part into the Treasury ana II
has been this constant drain that has neces-
STATED the policy Of liquidation to maintain
As bearing on this point the completed totals
Of the New York national banks as given In
their official statements of September I show
that between June 90 and the first week In
September country bank balances here were re-
duced only four Millions whereas the con-
traction in other deposits were about seventy
four millions. In the time intervening between
the two official statements the national banks
lost S2l. 900 900 in specie and legals. The move
ment TO the interior since September has been
a little more active, but nothing IN comparison
to the loss in cash sustained by the banks this
month,
