Of this has gone into the institutions outside
tho clearing house which have increased their
cash averages for the week S11S4O 900 TO keep
pace with the increasing reserve requirement
produced by their loan expansion, The loans
item Is the striking feature of the bank state
ment in all Its phases. Clearing house loans
averages have increased S1llS5,4OO and the
actual increase Friday night reached sls,9S7 4o0
The shrinkage in surplus as the net result

further extended by the increase in the average
loans of banks and trust companies outside the
