The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-06-17


New York, June 16.-The Financier
says this week:
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks was last week again
disappointing In that it failed to reflect
in the cash changes the receipts of money
which were estimated on the traceable
movement during the week. Instead OF as
generally expected there would be more
or less important gains In cash, there
was n small decrease. Loans were, how
ever, only moderately expanded, and con-
sequently deposits and the required re-
serve were but slightly augmented so that
there were comparatively inconsequent-
ial change in the surplus reserve. The
loss of cash as reported in the statement
was $4,000 while the majority of the
estimates showed gains. The discrepancy
was probably due to the system of aver
ages, the receipts of gold from Australia
and from San Francisco having been in
the latter part of the week Deposits In
creased $1,046,70O, and the required re-
serve was therefore augmented by $751;
SO, deducting from which the loss of
cash as above left $SS675 as the decrease
in surplus reserve to $1073,373. Computed
upon the basis of deposits less those of
$15,375 600 public funds the surplus is &c.
917125. 1t is of interest to note now that
gold imports which We're facilitated by
advances of public funds to the importing
banks, have practically ceased-that
compared with $37.0106OO the maximum of
such government deposits on May u there
has been a reduction of $2l, 500. Loans
were expanded 1913, 100 during the week,
though the increase in this item as the
result of replacing in banks of loans rep
resenting foreign finance bills must have
been quite large. The daily average of
bank clearings was $2940O0,00O against
$500, 900 900 in the previous week; clear
ings on Saturday rejecting Fridays bust
ness were S421, S37 376. Comparisons of loans
by individual banks show that seven in
situations gained one and a half million.
One bank lost one and one-thrd millions
