BANK STATEMENT

at Earlier Part Of Week.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18--The bank state
ment showed an increase in surplus re-
serves held on all deposits of "a. esq, COO
The loan account contracted 10 the ex-
tent Of $9.197. 600, and actual cash
showed an increase Of s1,776.000, not
withstanding that the preliminary esti-
mates OF the weeks movement in money
had foreshadowed a small loss
The decrease in the deposit account of
1924. GOO was far out IF line with the
changes mentioned in the loan and cash
accounts. The item of circulation
showed the large increase OF 81, 7S3, ,OC0,
The unexpected showing made by the
item Of actual cash probably reflected a
correction Of the equally misleading re-
port in last weeks statement.
The banks now hold surplus reserves
against all deposits. including the Gov
ernment's balances, 50 500 Yester-
