Comment on Bank Statement.

New York, August 22.-The New York
Financier says:
THE most striking feature of the state
ment of the New York associated banks
last week was the increase of 1883, 300 in
loans This was expected because of the
character Of the business on the stock
exchange early in the week, when there
was large buying of securities for invest
ment from the banks. The buying of
stocks and other securities in the previous
week were also large. but it was not then
reflected in the loan item as was eX-
pected. for loans showed an important de-
crease. 1t seems probable that as loans
must have been largely increased in the
latter part of that week through stock
operations. the loan item was then made
UP on rising averages, which We're re-
fiected In this item last week. The loans
were also Influenced by the important in
crease of 5000, 500 by the Western Ma
tional Bank of the United States. which
increase was probably due to operations
incident to the intended merger. The net
cash gain by the banks, as reported by
last weeks statement, was S2,l0o, 40. W =
the estimates, based upon the traceaple
movement of money during the week In
dicated a gain of S3.506, 800. This is not
only an unexplainable discrepancy of ST.
100000 shown by these figures but also
the important unaccounted for difference
of IS 700 500 between the official and eSti-
mated figures of the previous week, when
difference was not corrected In last weeks
The deposits increased 0.446. 700. which
amount is less by $l.259.000 than that
called for by the sum of increase in loans
and the net gains in cash, hence the
statement does not balance. The re-
quired reserve was augmented $26l1,G75.
through the increase in deposits. De-
Quoting these from the net gain in cash
leaves S505,275 as the decrease in surplus
reserve, to $21, sos, 800. Computed upon the
basis of deposits. less those of S37. 900
of public funds. the surplus is S30376, $50
The loans are s4,162 900 in excess of de-
posts, against $5.0103o0 in the previous
week. The daily average of bank clear
ings was S184 1000 against $780, 600 in
the week ending August TO- rejecting

stock exchange. Th- changes in loans

that the victory for the latter depends
upon their power to secure unity and their
ability to hold their tobacco; that is their
freedom from debt or other obligations.

New Police Squad Rounding Up Those Who
Fail to Renew Licenses

James B. Reynolds secretary to Mayor Low. and
at present Acting Chief of the Bureau of Licenses
in speaking about the work of that department
yesterday said that when he took hold of the de-
partment months ago he found that not
more than 40 per of those who should take out
licenses had done SO.
Mr.. Reynolds said he found that the old police
squad attached to the bureau did no more than
inform those who had licenses that it time
to renew them. Since he had replaced that squad
with the present one, under command OF Sergeant
Pearce the men have been not only ordering re-
nevals. but seeking out those who should take out
a license and having them summoned before a
police magistrate who warned them. In this way
the receipts of the office have increased from an
