NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—The Financler says: The statement of the clearing house banks of New York for the week ending December 24 shows for the first time in some weeks the banks have not been able to make use of the surplus funds which are flowing to thls city. The result 1s that excess reserves are increased by over $2,000,000 and now stand at $19,500,000, the highest figure reported since the last of October. In the period mentioned, however, the loans of the banks have expanded $45,000, 000 and deposits almost $53,000,000. Facts' like these do not seem' to indicate anything ap- proaching firmness in money rates. The in- crease {n loans for the past week was $3,657,300, which is smaller than had been anticipated. A detailed analysis seems to show:that special operations by one or two large banks inter- fered with the logical features of the week's operations. As results prove, the net receipts of cash, almost exclusively in the form of specle, Were $4,655,600. It is known that gold is being recefved in large amounts from ~San Francisco as a result of Australlan imports and larger_{nterlor- remittances were in favor of New York, as were also operations with the sub-treasury. The cash gain, therefore, is easily explgined, but since use has not been made for the money the tendency is toward idle accumulations and a maintenance of mini- mum rates for funds. After the first of the Market _steady. Western muttons, lambs, $@ but it is difficult to see how It can be more than temporary. The .immense volume of trade reported by the country at large certainly im- plles a demand for money, but despite this fact and the equally important revelations afforded by the operations with Europe, which have resulted in heavy loans of American bal- ances to nearly every Important Continental | center, the-plethora of maney is clearly estab- shed. The treasury has called for the payment of $8,000,000 of Pacific Rallway funds in banks, bit this will be returned in stallments Mnd will not equal the disbursements which the redemption of the currency 6s will necessitate next month. If there was no balance due the United States from Europe the situation might be regarded with caution, owing to the enormous expansion which has taken place, but as it is there seems to be mnothing that could create serfous complications in the money market.
