NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—The Financler says: The surplus reserve of the New York Clear- ing House banks was reduced $3,881,900 last week, owing ta a loss of $2,324,200 to the Treas- | ury and the interfor and to the increased re- serve requirements necessitated by a rise of 96,231,200 in_depo The statement was about in lne with what the week's operations had foreshadowed, 50 far as cash changes were concerned, but the gain of $13,684,200 in loans, | following 'the unprecedented increase of $21,- 000,000 for the week previous, attracted some attention. It is conceded that the expansion in loans reported February 10 was due In part to borrowings from commerical sources, an unusually large number of banks having par- ticipated in the movement. The currency state- ment, however, when subjected to closer anal- sis. ‘reveals the fact that the new loans were made by a few of the more prominent ban | one institution alone accounting for nearly half the gain. The significant fact In connec- tion with the statement i€ the stoppage of in- tericr receipts and the resumption of payments in the Treasury. So far from gaining money from the interlor, the New York banks last week actually shipped considerable funds to other cities, and the Treasury losses amounted to over one and one-half millions. This is | likely to be a continuing process, and with the | added burden of carrying larger commitments, due to current business demands, the inference |is that the banks' surplus will be drawn up materially before spring. Money rates, of course, will be dependent on the extent of these calle, but a market, it is conceded, must fol- low unless the movements of money are at varfance with known facts. Last year at this period the surplus reserves of the banks had already begun to decline and the fail did not stop untll In April, when the loss of excess rescrves amounted to twenty millions. Over a. | third of this sum had been absorbed In caring for increased deposits and the trend of banking | pow seems to following closely the same ines. Cash in the Treasury. WASHINGTON, Feb, 17.~To-day’s statement of the condition of the Treasury shows: Avaflable cash balance, $294,357,202; gold re- | serve, $222,069,642. London M;fiket. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financlal cablegram says | The wires were still interrupted to-day and hence little business was done in the market here to-day. The tone was firm, Although Cronje's escape, with all his artillery, was dis- Itked. The bank bought £23,000 in gold in Ger- man coln. Call money was in fair demand and fixtures were strong. Bills were idle. The di count rate would have been 3% but for yester- day's goid shipment CLOBING. LONDON. Feb. nion Pacific preferred, preferred. 76%; Atchison, 31%: Grand Trunk, §%: Anaconda, 9%.
