gated deposits Of 81 226. .227. 400, total cash ON
hand $40, 12T 900 ana loans amounting TO $1,1SS,

The Fnancier will say: There was a very
wide discrepancy of the statements of the clear
ing house banks based average conditions and
actual conditions reported Saturday, De
cember is. the statement the average plan
OF S41 500 making the surplus about % per cent
minimum $40 AS 100 whereas the statement
based actual business. which more truthfully
reflects the real situation indicated decrease

This change was brought about through an
increase of S19.217. 100 in loans and corre-
spending increase of S20.J77. 600 in deposits The
gain reported in cash 81 095 800 which was
about half the amount indicated by the prelimi-
nary estimate. The heavy increase in deposits
necesstated over $1,000. 600 in increased reserve,
which very much more than Offset the small
gain in cash. the summary of state banks and
trust companies outside the clearing house as re-
ported revealed q decrease of So $40. 200 in loans
a decrease of a little less than S1.00O000 in cash
and shrinkage of about 100000 in net de-
posits- The approaching end of the year, with
its dividend requirements will probably result
in a very heavy bank movement in the next and
succeeding week.
