The Financiers Statement.

New York, Sept. 13.-The Financier
says: The most notable fact disclosed by
the oniciai statement OF the New YORK
Associated banks last week was tnat
to deposits OF ali the banks Including
state and National was not entirely
wiped out there remained . surplus re-
serve OF only Eib7 oe, the smallest since
hciehcy in the reserve Of SS1zo8.
A striking fact Is that the lpsses- 70 the
banks on the interior movernent Of =
-. 7c0. have been Offset by Within rs :
assay ofrces checks against domestic
and Yukon gold deposited at various
banks. which checks have been cashed In
this city. Loans were countersctea last
ton ton" since ' August t. Is. .ooooc The de-
posits fell Of Sll.s3s.Se 80 a decrease since
August ls Of S5i, 500, co. Decrease in de
posts last week were $7ls,soo greater than
Of cash and the reduction of loans. hence
the statement very hearty harmonises.
The required reserve was lessened $ss.-
$50. 225 through the decrease In deposits:
cash leaves U.ssi. s5 as the amount Of
the reduction In reserve. The surplus now
stands at S115075, against 7.1lo,650 at the
corresponding date year ago: and ~
lation was increased last week $7o2 500.
making a gain since August . Of 81. 1887 900
distributed among the larger banks. The
average daily ciearings Of the instttu-
lions was sci. 900 against $27s. 0o00 900
in the previous week. Nine Of the larger
banks showed a net contraction Of $1,000
900 in loans. Of which number one reduc-
ed this item by 81, 0eo. 000 one by 81. 700 COZ.
one by 81 800 900. and another $l3N0oo.
The lower reserves of the banks will most
likely increase these monetary tensions
during the current week to show an ex-
tent as possibly to cause even higher
rates For money TO rule than those OF
last week. These high rates will, how
ever. naturally offset foreign exchange,
causing a fall to points which will per-
NIT imports Of gold from Paris and per-
haps from london. Inasmuch as the
Secretary OF the Treasury already has In
contemplation an increase of deposits Of
public funds In the banks, be will most
likely decide that the time has arrived
when this form of relief to the situation
may properly by extended. With the ar
rival early next week Of part Of the gold.
now in transit from Australia. with i'm
ports Of gold from Europe. which will
be stimulated by the monetary conditions
and with the relief which the Secretary
Of the Treasury will probably afford the
existing tension will most likely be
speedily relieved.
