houses gradually to liquidate their In
debtedness; mercantile borrowing through
discounts was likewise large. The de-
crease in this item, however, has been
due to the fact that the liquidation OF
the loans In the early part of tho cur
rent bank week was so large as to more
than offset the increases resulting from
the changed market conditions above
noted, and therefore the average showed
a decrease. The loss instead of gain in
cash cannot be explained in any other
way than that there was an unreported
withdrawal OF money by interior banks,
or by trust companies during the week.
The cash reserve decreased s.. 257 900.
while the estimates called for an Increase
of sS.442. 700. The loans decreased $4.351 500
which sum- added to the loss of cash,
would make $6,6093O0 less deposits. This
item, however. decrea sed So, 937, 200, or 49,
327. 800 moro than the total decrease Of
loans and Of cash; hence the statement
did not balance. The required reserve
was diminished some s2.234.300 through
the decrease in deposits. Deducting this
sum from the above noted loss of cash,
leaves the almost insignificant reduction
Of $23,500 in surplus reserve to 81 1853, $50.
This slight change in surplus Is, there
fore, an offsettng favorable feature to

Comment on Bank Statement.
New York. August 15.--The New York
Financier says:
THE disappointing feature shown by
the official statement OF the New York
associated banks last week were the de-
crease, instead Of the quite confidently
expected increase In the loans, and tho
loss IN cash reserve instead or an 1npor-
tant gain, which was foreshadOwed by
the preliminary estimates which were
based upon sthe traceable movements of
money during the week. An increase
IN loans was expected to be shown as
the natural result Of the important re-
versal of the stock market conditions
from those of extreme depression to
buoyancy 1t is evidence that there was
very large buying of securities by capt
talists and other spectators who had

ures which had been taken for the re-
lief of the embarrassed houses, and this
removal Of tbs cause for further dis
turbance to the market brought about
so great a demand for stocks as to
make necessary large borrowings from
the banks and other financial instltu-
tons. An increase in loans was also
expected. in part from the extension by

ed the sanity characters of the Ro-
man and of the undivided Catholic
church, his sympathies, naturally
quick, had been broadened by read
