NEW YORK., Jan. 18.—The Financier says: ““The New York bank statement for the week ending January 15 was even bstter than had been expected. The surplus reserve increased almost $5,000,000 and the excess above legal re- quirements now stands at $16,707,850, & sum greater than the banks have reached since June 24 last, although in August the total was almost as high As the deposits during the week remained almost stationary the entire cash receipts of the week went to swell the idle cash in banks, thus accounting for - the unusual expansion. The liquidation that oo- curred on the stock exchange is reflected in the decrease of $1,565,900 in loans. The statement does not talance, but there is no question that the position of the banks is even stronger than reported, for interior receipts Increased largely at the close of the week. The gamn came almost entirely from the interfor, the ex- ports of mpecle to Europe the provious Satur- y counterbalancing treasury receipts. The benks in fact are gaining as rapidly in sur- plus this month as was the cass a year ago, with the exception that the expansion in cash now counts altogether in surplus reserve, Whereas 6 year ago reserve liabiiity occasion by the loan and deposit increases were locking up from three to five million dollars weekly. For instance, the deposits of the banks during the month of January. rose almost $57,000,000, while loans expanded twenty-thres ~millions. The reserve requirements were, therefore, over fourteen millions heavier, but despite this fact the surplus reserve actually gained elghteen millions. This year so far loans have risen less than two millions: deposits only a little over nine millions, while the excess reserve ls lees than six millfons heavier. The expansion, therefore, this year does not compare with that of & year ago, although the gain in reserve | 1s on’a plane that nearly equals that which occurred last year. It is not to be overlooked in this connection that the banks last Decem- ber and January were not losing gold to Europe, s has been the case lately.” Londo»i/!arkd. NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser’s London financial cablegram says: Business In the markets here to-day was very | small, but the tone was excellent, based on hopes of good news from the Transvaal, which the professional began to anticipate in markets bare of stocks. Consols were up % and led the rise. Cheap money helped the cheerful feeling. American securities shared in the fmprove- ment, but the trading was of minute propor- tions. No gold was recelved or engaged Money rates continued easy at yesterday’ rates and bills were scarce. e money bal- ances are unemployed, but the gold position is #till watched with some conocern. olland s expected to buy epecie and the supply-is mea- ger. It is feared that India, which s inter- cepting Australlan arrivals, will take bullion. A _shipment will be made next week. Bilver was _strong.
