advances made by all the banks. Viewed
In broad light. however. the statement must
be regarded as favorable. Money is being
received In New York from all interior points
and the gain made last week was double the
average for any similar period this month.
How this inflow of currency is to continue
cannot be decided off hand. but the effect
is witnessed in an extremely easy market,
offerings of time funds being made at great
liberality the rest of the year. The
demand does not indicate any great pressure
for accommodation. Both loans and deposits
are now much higher than at any previous
period this year. and the cash reserve Is in
excess of 27 per cent. fully up to the average
for the year. The strong position of the
banks lies in the fact that they have out
