The F1nancier will say:
Preliminary estimates were that tn.
clearing house banks OF New York hae
gained to considerable extent in cash
as a result Of the weeks operations, par
ticularly in the matter Of a flow of money
from the interior toward this center. The
statement of actual condition issued Sat
urday, however, showed very small
loss Of $50, 600 in cash, but the deficit ir
reserve reported at the close of the
previous week was more than made VI
through the unusually large reduction OF
SO. O48, 900 In loans, which brought about
q corresponding decrease Of SAC, O61 600 II
net deposits, and a lessening of reserve
requirements amounting to over $4,000.
600.
This was not only sufficient to wipe out
the deficit in excess reserve, but left ar
actual excess Of $3,O15,2 200 above the %
per cent minimum 1t Is difficult to ex-
plain the extraordinary contraction In
loans, which evidently was made for the
most part by the banks proper, although
the separate statement Of the trust COM
panies showed that they also had reduced
loans by more than $15,OOO,00O.
The deposits of the trust companies
alone decreased nearly So 600. 600 for the
week. The statement based on the sys-
tenn Of daily averages did not reflect the
later operations Of the week. although
changes were heavy, loans having been
decreased more than $31 ,O00.OOO and de-
posts 35 Ia millions. while the loss in
cash. rejecting earlier movements, was
almost $4,000.
The clearing house banks in the state
ment, figured On the system of daily
averages, still report a deficit of $73. $50
In reserve. The tide In the flow of money
has turned Enthusiastically in this direction
and 1t is expected that the banks from
now on will show a quick recovery in
cash reserves.
