Large demands continue to be made for credits on ew York banks for mercantile loans and | Government bonds by banks tion under the law. The principal depletion of New York cash reserves is due to the dras- tio absorption of funds by the New York sub- treasury. Last week the drain on this account reached nearly $7,500,000, but_there was includ- ed the payment to the Government of a $3,000,000 note on mecount of the Central Pa- cific. This week, without any such special transaction and with disbursements of pen- incident to the first of the month, the | ury has nevertheless taken out of circu- | jon & larger sum of money than last week— | & sum amounting to more than half the re- malning surplus over the legal requirements of the New York banks cash reserve. It is indicative of the special burden imposed on the New York money market that the total surplus of the Government revenues for the | current month amounts to only about one- third of the amount taken up this week from | the banks by the sub-treasury. The explana- tion 1= that & large proportion of the Govern- ment revenue {s being colleoted from im- porters of merchandise in the form of customs | duties at New York. With the surplus re- serves of New York banks fast approaching | the vantshing point. the April settlements yet to bs met before relief comes with the cur- rency law. the unwillingness to take out call losne to buy stocks is clearly explained. Rallroad bonds have been in good demand, part of the buying being attributed to pressure of funds realized from the selling of Govern- ment bonds by investment holders to banks.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The Financler says: A curious feature of the statement of the clear- ing-house banks of New York City for the week | ending March 10 is that the decreases In cash holdings and surplus reserve almost balance | the gain in Joans, while deposits actually fell off $461,80. In othér words, the statement seems to imply that if the loans were made they were in the form of cash balances which were taken out of bank. This {s not the true solution, for it is pretty gemerally understood that the de- mands due to trea: y _operations and interior shipments account for the loss in cash. It may be assumed, therefore, that the cash thus di- a ‘loes made up in large part by bonds which are credited to bor- rowers as deposits. The result of this is wit- nessed in a stationary deposit account, while cash holdings have fallen off 35,088,600, and re- serve has suffered a decrease of nearly $7,000,- 000, bringing the present surplus reserve fund in banks down to $5, 5, the Jowest sum re- | ported ¢ ovember 95 last. As there are no | Indications that the conditions which are thus eating into the surplus are to undergo a change | soon, the statement might be construed to mean a very ti money market were it not for the probabllity of the early passage of the | refunding bill, which would release more or less i treasury funds. This factor is all that restrains the call joan market (rom a violent upward ad- | vance. Considered in a broad light, the cur- Tent exhibit of the banks is not différent from | what had been anticipated earlier In the week. The changes in the several items have been dis- tributed over a larger number of individual in- stitutions than ueual, but it is noteworthy that | o a third of the loans are to be traced to the | Chase National, which also expanded Its de- posits over $2,000,000, thus indicating a falling off of more than that amount in the list of | other bs The statement has also been com- plicated by the purchase of Government bonds | by country banks, an operation usually con- | ducted by the city correspondent of the buy ing institution. The Item of circulation shows a continued gain, and the New York national banks have now outstanding nearly 5-'!9,\)0"0("} of notes, a sum greater than reported for a year. 1t is conceded that the new refunding bill will have the effect of largely adding to | the present circulation of the banks. here, London Market.
