F1NANCrHn's STATEMENT.

New York, Jan. s.--The Financier will
 The statement of the clearing house banks of the city of New York for the week end ing Janusry 2. shows . heavy increase in all leading items. the most noticeable fear ture being the gain of SIS. sos, 800 in cash. Loans expended tt4.isf.o0o and deposits rose ss2 26se.soo. The increase in deposits necsssitated an additional reserve require ment of ss.oooooo, but even with this sur. plus reserve on iai deposits was increased s1I.ss7.e7S, standing on Saturday at sss,- 3oi.tso. The ebanks gained heavily during the week from the interior and also fQm operations with the sub-treasury. The shipments of gold abroad amounted for the week to s2,o00. ooo. and as the season is ap- preaching when, money naturally flows to this center from the interior. every facility for further gold exports exists at this time [ The trust companies within the next three weeks will have to provide something like $4o. 0o0, 900 additional cash reserve against deposits in order to comyply with the provisions of the New oYrk banking law. and this withdrawal of funds may have a moinentary effect upon the local money market.

BONDS ARE LOST.
Three Valued at $500 Each Disappear
From State House.

The bonds of three banks placed
with the state bank commissioner for
surety under the guaranty law have
disappeared from that Office and can
not be found. These bonds are in the
sum of $500 each and are required to
be sent to the bank commissioner
along with the application of the
bank for entrance into the guaranty
municipal bonds and are designed as
surety that the banks shall pay their
assessments as provided by the law.
The bank commissioner gives the
banks a receipt for these bonds and
then turns them over to the state
treasurer for safe keeping. When it
came time to turn these bonds over to
the state treasurer this week they
could not be found The office was
searched thoroughly and even the
storage house of the firm which buys
the state house waste paper was
searched but there is no trace of the
missing bonds. -a
There is nothing serious in this loss
as bonds are not negotiable except by
the certain detection of any party
who might happen to have them in
his possession. The cities issuing
these bonds evil probably reissue
them and the bank commissioners

likely case that the old bonds should
be turned into cash e 1t is still pos

could not make any time. AS soon as
the machine hit the pavement, how

forward at a great rate. The milk
wagon was driving in front of me
