Legal tend- 00; Increase, §2,476,000. Specfe, $184, 0. Total reserve, $257, 841,000. De- 000. Circu- The Financier sa; The statement of the New York clearing-house | banks for the week ended January 19 Is the most remarkable in several respects ever is- sued. Not only were the fluctuations in loans and deposits the heaviest on record, but the aggregate totals of these items are also the highest known in the history of the New York barks. Significant as these figures are, how- ever, of the great volume of business passing through the banks, the results as revealed in the standing of the institutions are even more wort of note. In the face. of in met deposits amounting to $36. required an additjonal than nine million dollars, the banks have been able to add $4.858,550 to thelr excess reserve, the cash gain having been almost fourteen millions. The cash expansion reflects rather the gains the banks have made in 1.000, which Treasury, and the item would have been higher had it not been for the exports of specie earlier in the week. The loan increase was $22,841,000, and was brought about for the most part by the financing of the Jersey Central and Penn- sylvania coal deals, both operations of unusual gnitude. The gains in the were confined principally to half a dozen large banks. Owing to the fact that the cash ex- | paneion was not disturbed among the banks in | made to meet emergencies. | posits of the New York banks proportion to their Increase in other items, the reserve percentages have undergone wide fluctuations _as compared with the usual changes. The statement, despite the record- brecking figures, really indicates continued easy money if the accumulation of idle cash in the hanks is taken as a criterion. The total specle and legals held by the clearing-house now amount in round numbers to $257,750,000. It is not surprising that Europe turns to this ac- | cumulation as the representative of a store of national weaith upon which drafts may be In passing it may be sald that the increase alome in the de- last week amounts to more than the aggregate deposits of all the banks In quite a number of reserve cities throughout.the United States. To-dny's bank statement showed record fluc- tuations In loans and deposits as compared with the changes of any previous week of clearing-house history. Bank officers were puzzled by the $22,841.000 gain in loans during a period of considerable stock market liquida- | tion and could not account for the showing except by the fact that it indicated prepara- lzmu to finance some sort of a private raflroal deal. In this connection it was pointed out that one Wall street bank to-day and yester- Aay had a credit balance at the clearing-house aggregating $14,000,000. The statement also showed a gain of $13.971,200 in cash holdings, with an increase of $,858,650 in eurplus bank London Market. NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here opened weak to-day, but were firmer later on the better news about the Queen Comsols were 3% down.
