WEEKLY AVERAGES
 OF CLEARING HOUSE

New York June 29.-The statement of clearing house banks for the week shows that the banks hold s2.509275 more than the legal reserve requirements. This is a decrease of s3,117.33 as compared with last week. The statement follows:
 Loans, s1 12G, ,53s 100; decrease, S,S13,700.
 Deposits, $1 ,O92, ,O31 TOO; decrease, s14,95030O.
 Circulation, s5O,4O7,2OO; decrease, $27,3Oo.
 Legal tender, s74,724,7Oo; increase. s6i3,- 100.
 Specie, $20 792, ,500; decrease, $7,49S, 900.
 Reserve, $275,517,2 200; decrease, s6.s54,9Oo.
 Reserve required, s273,O07, 1925; decrease, s3,737,575.
 Surplus, $2,5O9,275; decrease, s3,117,325.
 Ex-United States deposits, $10,32s, ,075; de- crease, s3,232,250.
 The Financier says:
 Last weeks official statement of the New York Associated Banks showed, as was expected from the preliminary esti- mates, large reduction in cash, but be- cause of the contraction in loans and the loss of cash and consequently the decrease in deposits the reserve requirements were sufficintly reducd to enable a fair amount of surplus to be disclosed. The cash de- crease was $6,s54 900. This was somewhat below the amount that had been with drawn from the banks as the result of the gold exports transfers of funds to San Francisco and shipments to Canada, but the average system may account for the discrepancy. Deposits decreased $14. .950 400; this amount closely agreed with the sum of the contraction in loans and the loss of cash, and therefore the statement made a good proof. The required reserve against deposits was reduced $3,337,575, de- ducting which from the loss of cash left s3,117,32 as the decrease in surplus re- serve to s2,509275. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of s31 ,275 DO public funds, the surplus is $10,32S, ,0i5. Loans were contracted by s7,Sl3,7O0. This was probably due to resumption of loanlng by companies so that the banks were en- abled to largely to reduce their loans. The
