ESTIMATES WE'RE CLOSE.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The Finan-
official statement of the New York as

by the traceable movements during
the week. The specie shows an in
crease of 1922, 900, while the gain in
legal tenders was 81, OBS, 500, making the
total increase in cash 81, ,761, 800; the
estimated gain was s1,9S5, 800, or $224,-
800 greater. The smaller increase in
specie than in legal tenders was as
has been the case in previous weeks
most likely due to the transfers to New
Orleans through the sub treasury, de-
posits therefor being made in gold;
these transfers to great extent off :
set receipts of gold from abroad and
from domestic sources. The deposits
yhowed an unusually small change.
and instead of there being an increase
of s653, ,000 as called for by the sum Of
the gain in cash less the decrease in
loans, there was a reduction of $44,0GU
in deposits; therefore the statement
failed TO balance. The decrease in re-
quired reserve, resulting from the re-
duced deposits, was $11, It's, adding to
which the gain in cash makes 81. 1.T72, ,675
as the increase in surplus reserve,
which item now is $S,O7f.975. Calculated
upon the basis of deposits less those
of $36, sos, 700 of public funds, the sur
plus is s17. .2SO.15o. Loans were de-
creased St,1OS, 500, whereas in the pre-
vious week they were augmented by
81, 1862 900 The reduction this week
was probably due to cancellations of
loans on stock collateral. Bank condi-
tions, so far as regards reserve, are
much better now than they were year
ago, though the surplus is about equal
in amount because of the prospect that
very soon the cash reserve will begin
to be augmented to a greater extent
than recently through the receipts of
gold from abroad. There will also
probably be an increase in cash
through the return movement of mon
ey from the West. Some reduction in
cash is looked for during the current
week because of Withdrawals from the
banks for holiday requirements, and
also because of the accumulations of
money by large concerns in anticipa-
tio.a of the making up Of their annual
reports. But this contraction of cash
reserve should cause no apprehension.
