Yellow Jacke B Associated Banks’ Statement. | NEW YORK. April 21.—The Financier say: The New York banks are adding steadily to their surplus despite the expansion in deposits, operation that calls for additional reservs | The statement for the current week shows a |a gain of over $,000,000 in cash, the result, primarily, of treasury disbursements, although considerable cash came to this center from the interior. The Increase in loans was $6,500,- 800 and in deposits $,300,900. The statement does not balance by the usual rules for proving, but the result, according to the published figures, was a gain of about $4,000,000 in surplus reserve, bringing the total excess above $14,000,000. The month of April &0 far has been marked by handsome increases in cash, the expansion since the close of March footing up about §14,000,600. In the same time loans have increased $2,000,000 and deposita | $35.000,000. Whether the rising loan and deposit totals will keep pace with the cash gains now being made i8 & question the answer to which will solve the probable range of rates in money over the spring scason. As matters stand now the low rates ling encourage an advance in sterling and the spectacle is presented of a hardening exchange market in the face of a credit balance due the country larger than at any time in its history. This is noteworthy so far as the United Staes is concerned, but it only goes to show that a condition has been reached where surplus wealth is seekng higher interest rates abroad. The disbursements on bond premiums by the treasury is adding to the pressure, but above that a factof which must be reckoned with ts the inflation which is going on in pational bank issues. Already the na- tional banks have taken out $6,000,000 of a ci culation above the average, and reliable est Mates made on the basis of careful official can- vasses indicate that $100,000 of new national bank money is In contemplation throughout the | United States. This is not to be issued immedi- | ately, but fits gradual emisslon will have a clearly defined effect in aesisting gold exports. | The number of clearing-house banks has been reduced by one during the week, but an in- | erease in the capital of another institution of £10.000, 000 makes the total clearing-house capital | §72,922,700. As over $60,000.000 of this is national ‘bank capital the opportunity for new bank cir- calation will be at once apparent. The total | circulation now is $21,400,100. | London Market. 1 bt | NEW YORK.
