The National City Bank, which at the close of the previous week reported all the h, proving conclusively that the other institutions had not bettered their posi- 0 from a reserve standpoint, appears in a somewhat similar role In the current exhibit This bank, with the National Park Bank, ac- d nearly all le excess cash that has been received, and the former has wade practi- all ! new loane and gained balf the de- increases. The Inference is i the po- of the other banks has changed only htly for the better during the week. With these facts in mind the different meaning, but, whol tatement zssumes & ing the exhibit as a are to be regarded as satis- ms in joans and In deposits the_tota terized these items with Nttle intermission since July last are perhaps at an end. The banks, with the certainty of a source of replenishment. now that the treasury has extended the period of bond purchases, are arently willing to | enlarge their commitment, and as the pressing demand from the interior is at an end it is only reasonable to expect that the totals will show increases over the new year. In view of the fact that the country is doing a much larger volume of business and is using much more money than was the e last year, It is not expected that the banks if willing, to enco occeurred from Janu age such a rise in loans as well into the spring this year. The surplus reserve of the banks is now $8.536,700, which is only about half that reported for the opening week in December, 1868, while loans are $15,000,000 lower. The banks have $19,000,000 less' cash than at this time last year. London Market. | New YORK, Dec. 2—The Commercial Ad- vertiser’s London financial cablegram says: The markets here wore very idle to-day, but firm In tone except for West Australians, | which were flat. | Americans were quletly firm.

This, hbwever, failed to materialize. An Increase of local stocks of &bout 500,000 bushels was predicted and consid- erable long wheat was let out, all of which was depressing. The market sagged to 65%c, and closed ¥@%c lower for May n‘:: @68ic. The volume of business was small. New York reported 25 loads taken for export, Local receipts were 157 cars, 33 of the contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported §31, Sgainat U2 last year.
