first demonstrated, and then with sim

tried. 1t was found that the germs
under the same conditions were killed
in about three hours. Every possible
precaution was taken TO see that the
therapeutic value of the action lay in
the rays and not in some other obscure
phenomenon. 1t required several days
exposure of the cultures to bright light
to effect the results that Were pro-

BANK FIGURES NOT

According TO Statement They
Lost $2,O2O,OOO in Cash
PROBLEM HARD TO EXPLAIN
Movement of Money Market for Week
Made Cash Gain over 100000,
the Clearing House Gaining
BY Treasury Operations.
PROBLEM HARD TO EXPLAIN

New York, December 27.-The Finan-
cier says:
There Is a wide variance between the
published figures of the New York ASSOC
ciated banks for the week ending Decem-
Der q and the known movement OF money
covering the past five days business. Ac-
cording to the official statements, the
banks lost s2,O2O,OOO in cash. specie de-
creasing 1924 400 and legal tenders In
creaslng 81, s02, 400. The unofficial prelimi-
nary estimate of the movement of money
for the week made cash gain over 100000,
the clearing house institution having lost
$40. 1872 to the interior and gained $lO110O0
from treasury operations and receipts Of
new gold. 1t is difficult to explain this
discrepancy, although it is highly prob
able that the shipments of money to the
interior, which aggregated nearly $780,
900, against receipts of about IS, 900, are
reflected in the average system to the
disadvantage of the banks. Shipments to
the south were unusually large, owing to
operations in cotton. The season has ar
rived. however, when remittances from
the interior may be expected to increase.
1t Is also true JnaL the trust companies
of New York must file their semi-annual
reports next Wednesday. and since some
of these institutions like to make a good
showing OF cash In their vaults, their
balances In banks may have been drawn
upon for temporary purposes. 1t Is usu-
ally the case that money flows rapidly
into banks following Christmas local
trade but if this has occurred within
the past day or two. the movements have
quite counteracted it.
One favorable feature not disclosed by
the statement is that he banks for he
first time for over two months are gain
ing on sub-treasury operations. Other
changes were unimportant in their eff
feet on the totals. Loans fell off $500 400.
The decrease of $1,544,5o0 in reserve
brought the excess over legal require
ments to $6,549, 200, the lowest figure
reached since october IS, last. The state
ment considered generally must be re-
garded as unfavorable. Still year ago
a surplus reserve was only little more
than 81, 900 900 above $26 40 900. The pre-
vailing high rates for money will prob
ably have an early influence in attracting
money from the interior. The enormous
January dividend disbursements aggre-
gate between 1882, 900, 600 and $135, 900 will
have some disturbing effect. although this
Is already in evidence and will disappear
within the next two weeks.
