Canada sent denials and reiterations
that rust was in evidence and threaten

Caution kept the active deliveries from

The New York clearing house banks
gained money from the interior during

30 increase reported in Saturdays state
menls was less than half the amount in
Heated by preliminary estimates. The
drastic process of reducing loans which
has been shown for several weeks past
seems to have ended, and the banks this
week increased their loan commitments by
&S79,0 600. Deposits as result of the
changes noted rose 81. ~. 600 and the in
creased reserve requirement thereby
necessitated counteracted the cash gain.

These figures are based on the report of

On averages showed a similar tendency as

report of trust companies in Greater New

which indicates that some OF the commit
