The cash movement toward New York
which has been rather heavy during the
week has placed New York banks In a
much stronger position. the increase in
Saturday. having been IS. s,25o. which
makes the surplus above the 25 per cent
requirement S19.165,S00.
The banks seem to be pursuing a policy
OF conservatism. as indicated by a fur
ther reduction Of 1884, 900 In loans. The
changes above are based on the report
Of actual conditions. The statement fig
ured on the basis Of average daily re-
turns was even more striking than the
actual condition report loans having
shown a decrease OF nearly S28. 500. 900,
while cash increased s9.500.o00, Loans
were contracted s14,S74. 900. The result
VISA an expansion OF s13,0s4,b00 In re-
serve. the surplus on the average calcula-
ton standing at $40, ,659 $50. The sue
cessfu effort which the New York banks
have made in strengthening their cash
position is timely In view Of the coming
crop requirements not only from the
United States, but western Canada as
we'll. Unmis taxable indications exist
that money shortly ought to move to a
