NEW YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK, February 6.-The state
ment of clearing house banks for the
week shows that the banks hold SO, 1856, :
800 more than the requirements of the

crease Of $17.360J1J in the proportionate

The Financier will say:
The heavy changes noted in the state
ment of the associated banks of New
York city for the week ending February 4
We're traceable directly to operations with
the trust companies Of this city.
The clearing house banks showed on Il
basis of actual conditions decrease of
$16776, 100 in loans. a decrease of Sl9-
12:2,5, POO in specie and legals. and a con-
traction of SD. 657 500 in deposits. The
heavy loss in cash was somewhat offset
by the decreased reserve requirements
growing out of the shrinkage in deposits
but as it was the bank reserves of the
week fell $10,s10,7JO, the surplus reserve
Saturday standing at S3.$09,3OO. the lowest
reported for over a year. The shrnkage
in cash aside from the causes already
noted was traceable to the export of
about $4,O00.O0O in gold although the
banks gained somewhat in their opera
tons with the interior.
The trust companies have now fortified
themselves in the matter of cash reserve
as required by the state law. but the re-
call of government deposits will affect
the New York city banks, since a great
deal of the x}O.UO.OGO to be withdrawn by
the Treasury will be paid through New
York. The summary of state banks and
trust companies in Greater New York not
reporting to the New York clearing house
showed unusually large changes for the
week, loans having increased $23.07;t. 400
cash $29.OS1 $50. while net deposits rose
SD, GOO. The cash reserve of the clear
ing house banks is now less than I per
cent above the legal minimum, and ii Is not
unlikely, with heavy payments to be made
to the government. that this percentage
will be further reduced in the near flu
ture The only feature which will pre-
vent il is the continued movement OF
funds from the interior to this center.

FIRE IN UNDERBRUSH.
Engine Company Called to Subdue
Flames on Military Road.

Number 20 engine company responded
to local alarm yesterday for a fire in
underbrush in the rear of the residence
of Rudolph Kaufman on the Military
road and extinguished the blaze before
any serious damage had resulted.
The blaze started in pile of brush
which had recently been cut aud had
gained q good Roadway before 1t was dis
covered. A number of employees about
Mr.. kauffmann's place fought the blaze
for some time, when, owing to a strong
wind which was blowing toward the
house of one of the employees, a telephone
message was sent to the engine company
as it was feared that the fire would pos
sibly reach the building

Favorable Comparisons.

1t is, of course. to be remembered In
making these comparisons that business
at this time last year was at low ebb.
On the other hand 1T is a fact that most
railroad companies are now showing gross
earnings equivalent to those of the year
1905 and in some instances to 1906 much
larger in proportion to those earnings
than would have been thought possible
even few months ago.
Business the country over seems irreg
ular in character. rather than depressed.
Dizziness is much more evident in the
copper and metal trades than anywhere
else, while the drygoods business and one
or two other trades appear actually
buoyant. Call and time rates toward the
end of the week were just a little bit
firmer. the strength being due to the
causes heretofore outlined as productive
of today's bank statement.
The fact, however, that our bankers
saw fit to anticipate in the way they
did the return of public deposits to the
subtreasury emphatically attests their
confidence in the continuance of easy
money conditions.
