NEW YORK, May 5.—The Financler says: The New York Banks' statement for the week end- | ing May 5 Is surprising in several details. To ise can be assigned for 1,400 in Joans and the corresponding increase of $17,000,000 in deposits, | t five millions of | se was brought about through | begin with, no local ca the expasnsion of $13, although it is said that at lez the loan incre technical operations attending the completion eight millions or over still unac- counted for is larger than the events of the week seem to have called for, but with money fer here than at any point in the world, it is t unlikely that the banks are taking advan- tage of an opportunity to increase profits by ex tending the scope of their operations abroad, a | course that has been resorted to before under similar conditions. This is the theoretical view. atter of fact a detailed analysis shows loan increase has heen scattered a large number of banks. The gain r seventeen millions on deposits 1& due to | the loan expansion and recefpts of three mi lions in cash from the interior. The rising deposit total called for $4,273,000 In- creased reserve, so that the effect of the int Tior receipts was neutralized and $1.09,500 was inken from previous accumulations, bringing present excess to $13,97,47 There is warrant for the ‘assertion that the banks did not gain as much from the interfor te and that they actually lost to the treasury on gold export The specie already forwarded on this mov ment amounts to $5,200,000 and while in a de- cline in reserve may operate to check the out- ward flow, there seems to be no reason why in- « should advance. A factor in the aoney market often overlooked in connec- tion is the abllity of the trust companies to Joan at minimum rates. The Comptrolier in his fal statements last week asked for call for off a specific; banks _del hat these institutions are c tion of trust companies and savings osits in national banks. It is known rying at least also report heavy trust company deposits. The Joans and deposits of the hanks at the present time are one hundred million dollars in excess of the averages at the opening of the yelr, Wwhile reserves are only four millions higher. Continued receipts from the interior are looked for for some, time, Lomiamrket. NEW YORK, May 5.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial | cablegram says: The market here was becalmed to-day, but was firm on the mews of Lord Roberts' advance. Funds are hardening again. Americans were quietly hard. There was some inquiry for Bal- imore and Ohio ®nd Louisville and Nashville on the expectation of a good bank statement in New York. Copper shares were firm on Paris inauiry. The bank received £15,000 gold rom Australia and lost £30,000 to the Cape. 1l money was easier and bills rather weaker. The bank did a small business In discounts and was repaid small loans due.
