THE rINANCIER's STATEMENT.
 Flew York. Oct, 21.--The Financie

EEeW 1ork, Oct. hS
 The official statement of the New York associated banks last week showed a smaller gain in cas~ than was esti- mated upon the basis of traceaDle movements of money during the week The cntraction In loans was moderate, as might have been expected from the large reduction in this item m the pre- vious we sk. and the augmentation Tn a good 6alance for the season. The cash gain was S1.797.200. and 1t was largeH due to receipts of the proceeds of foreign gold. at the close or the week ending October IA, which were then paid through .he local assay Of flee; this sum of nearly three millions 'counted for the full week In the av- other sources there should. 1t would seem, rave been a greater gain in cash. Deposits decreased $2.2sS,200 or more by $501, 200 than the .Rum of the $3,os4,- 200 contraction in loans less the de- crease in cash; therefore the statement did not prove. The required reserve was reduced $574.550. through the decrease in deposits, adding this sum to the cash gain as above, made $2.371.-
 Comput ed upon the basis of deposits surplus is s14, 704,05O. 1t may be noted that the decrease Tn loans since August 5 has thus far been $119, ,4S3,600; the net loss in cash in this interval has amount ed to $3S.S5O,150 and .the reduction in last week was $295, 100000 against $29l, 900. 900 in the previous week.
