New York, June l7.--Tbe FInancier
says;
Large syndicate operations are reflected
in the bank statement Of June Is. The
excess reserve was again heavily de-
creased and stands at q, 7s2, LIS, compared
with S2l $4,000 on May IS, loss Of over
81, 600 900 in three weeks In this period
the loans Of the hank have risen not less
than $42. 0Oo goo and deposits 50 ,0oO! 900,
while the amount Of the cash on hand Is
about 81 100000 less than on the former
date 1t appears, therefore, that the banks
are not losing much particularly, but that
the increasing liabilities are tying up a
large amount Of otherwise idle money in
the former reserves against deposits.
This is worthy Of mention only in the
sense that the large operations noted are
of a more or less temporary character
and their contamination may set free
quite an amount Of available funds in the
near future. The July dividend period is
largely being arranged for and viii exert
an influence in the market soon. The
particular features which are shown in the
current statement are traceable to the
Pennsylvania steel purchase and kindred
deals, and the loss Of one and a half mil.
lions in cash is due TO movements Of
money in the direction of Philadelphia
which were heavy during the bank week
and TO operations with the subtreasury
at New York.
