The FInancier says:
The most striking feature of last
weeks bank statement was the slight
change in the loan item. There was a
reduction of 81, 654, 800, which was the
more notable because il followed more
or less important increases in recent
weeks. This reduction would seem to
indicate not only that there were no ne
gOtiatiOns of moment to call for large
loans but that the banks as a rule, have
restricted their discounts to current re-
quire ments, and have refrained from ex-
pansion, anticipating an early demand
for money for the crops There was
a loss of $2,T19,0CO in cash dividend
equally between specie and legal tenders.
The cash was Influenced last week Chiefly
by the subtreaSury operations. Early
in the week payments by this Office were
unusually large for transfers to Mauii2
and to London, and also for pensions and
for other purposes, but at the same time
receipts for duties and internal taxes
were heavy, and after Wednesday these
receipts were sufficient to counterbaIance
ordinary disbursements. so that by the
end of the week the treasury receipts
had exceeded payments, so far as the
banks were concerned. by about Sll8.0eO.
On Friday the assistant treasurer was a
debtor 81. S39. sS3 at the clearing house. 50
that the cash return OF the banks for the
week was made on rising averages. The
interior movement Of cash. as shown by
the preliminary estimates. indicated some
Withdrawals Of money hence for the
South, and the movement apparently re-
suited in net gain OF about 81 coz. G09
The bank statement, however. seemed
TO show that there was a larger drain OF
money due 10 the interior movement
than was calculated U00n IN the above
named estimates.A The subtreasii-y
operations during the week were so dis
tiuctiy trscsable that it does not appear
probable that the loss Of cash resuIte ed
To any great extent from s1ch opera
tons. The decrease of only So 500 IA de-
posts Is very much smaller than that
which was called for by the total loss in
cash and the reductions in Ioans. which
total was 81 .35s 800. One feature Of the
statement was the decrease of sl-5It. 800
in circulation. which rejects the elimlna-
