The Financier will say: The excess reserve
of the New York clearing house banks is still
rising, although the effect of the steady gain in
cash noted during the last several weeks has
been TO extent counteratced by a constant
expansion in loan commitments.
The statement of the associated banks for
the week ending August 13 showed cash in
crease OF $40, 1851 700 and loan expansion of
$50 597 900. Deposits. owing to the increases
just noted. rose S31, ,2s9. 500. The reserve
increased S2,943. $50, making the present surplus
sos 743, $50. which is the largest reached on the
present movement and even heavier than antici-
pated earlier in the season.
The statement, a whole, reflects the pre-
paredness of the New York banks to meet the
coming crop movement. but in this connection it
may be pointed out that the banks in three
weeks have increased their loans $53. $50. 600.
their deposits $Sl $50 900 and cash holdings by
something like $40, 600, 900.
while the excessive reserve has risen only
Ss. 500. 600, STILL with the unwieidy excess sur
plus now in hand. the position of the banks is
stronger than before The trust companies and
outside institutions also fortifying their posi-
ton by process of loan and deposit reduction,
which makes for high percentatge of cash re-
serve. although for the week just ended they
showed moderate loss of about 81 1000 in
cash -
