DECREASE IN CASH IS VERY NOTICEABLE Official Statement of Banks
 Offer Surprises ONE NEW RECORD MADE
ExpansIon in Loans Was Entirely Un- expected, But Is Accounted for on
 the Theory of Extensive syndI-
 cateeor Corporation Borrowing.

New York September s.-The Financier this week says:
 One of the most striking features of the sociated banks last week was the much lrager decrease in cash than was esti- mated upon the basis Of the traceable movements of money during the week, the loss being $7.42s.7Oo, while the esti- mates showed a decrease of $2127.0O
 This discrepancy is partly explained. however, by taking together figures for two weeks. In the week ending August 2s the estimate Is a loss of s4S72 TOO cash. and the statement decrease of $1,SO46o0. Last week there was an estimated loss of ss127, 900, while the statement showed a decrease of $7,426.7O0 The totals of the two weeks indicate an estimated loss of s6ss9, 800, and the officially reported de- crease was $S,511, 300, leaving a discrep- ancy of s1.511.5oO. which may be accounted for by the fact that estimates are based upon actual movements, while the bank statement figures represent averages, and the fact also appears that the with drawsls of cash from the banks were largest III the laaL lew Oays or the week
 The general deposits increased $9, ,7S1,20o carrying this into the highest on record. The required reserve was increased through the gain In deposits by S2, 445,30o, which sum, adde to the decrease In cash made s9,S72.00o anu the reduction in sur plus reserve to s47,5o5, 400 Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of s23,3s45o0 public funds, the surplus IS s53, ,344,626
 The statement made fair good proof, the sum of the increase in the loans, less the decrease in cash, being $977,5o0 more than the gain in deposits The ex- pansion of $1S.1s5, 400 in loans, which, 1t may be noted. makes new high record was entirely unexpected, and it was an- other striking feature of the statement as 1t can be accounted for on the theory that there was extensive syndicate or corporation borrowing, the large banks showing heavy increases. Circulation was augmented by $1,25s,30o, the greatest gain for a single week this year. The daily average of bank clearings last week was $1e6.oo0,0oo.
