NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The problem of the rioney market was thrown into an active test again to-day by the disclorure of the bank ement that the reserves of the clearing rouse banks were £1,642,030 below the legal requirements. This was in spite of a contrac- tion in the loan account of $11,964,500, the kage in the cash holdings having reached 700, as against primary estimates of than four millione. Ap -activg selling movement followed the appearance of the statement, which effectually wiped out the pre- s which had been estabiished under The mar- t closed istinctly eaey and with no effective lly from the decline beyond the covering de- ad from room traders, who took quick pro- fis on the decline. The last time wheh a_de- ficlency developed in the remerves of the New York banks was for the week ending November | 4, 1899. The reserves continued at a defielt | 1 reveral hiecks (ollowing. in epite ot lacgs | ican contraction, the deficit reaching $2,768, % November 11 and disappearing on Ncvem- | ter 25 as the result of the rellef afforded by the offer of Secretary Gage to purchase $25,- 000,000 5 r cent boncs and also 48 of the 1907 This was the period of the first large foiation of industrials, and the overspecula- ton which had oceurred in them left the stock + vulnerable to the influence of tight which persisted into December.

It is probable | ence. that the restraint of the speculation had much 10 do with the quiet tone of the money marr ket, although some relief was afforded the process of depletion of New York banking re | Am from | Am peserves without, however, eptirely. arrest- ing it. 1l pressure of liquidation seemed to be rromptly relieved as scon as the calling of loans ceased, and prices of stocks were easily lifted again without inducing any important renewal of the selling. This was a refiection of the unvarying confidence which is felt in | the promise of active trade and prosperous conditions during the coming season. Some effect was manifested early in the week from the freezing weather in the Northwest and the reports of damage to the corn crop, but the bellef that the crop s practically made and Leyond the reach of serious harm overcame this Influence. The continuing bad reports of the cotton crop were a more persistent influ- Rumors of a formal. settlement of the snthracite miners' strike were followed by disappointment, but there was evidence of a considerable increase in the shipments of coal to market, which induced a belief that the trouble wiil wear itself out. The fron and steel stocks quite generally ad- vanced and various other industrials reflected the favorable conditions in their special trades. The tight condition of the money mar- ket and the danger, therefore, of future flur- ties was the only apparent drawback to the advancing tendency of stocks. The very activ- ity of trade and large requirements thus cre- aied wes one of the factors that threatened the money market, and especially the conven- fence of those who are committed to specula- tion with borrowed funds. With unusually large crops. to be moved, a condition of ex- randed credits the country over and the for- elgn exchange, until complicated by the heavy decrease in exports due to last years crop | shortage and large foreign borrowings made in anticipation of a sustained export trade, the situation s still further aggravated by the unexpectedly large customs collections and the approximate exhaustion of the available means for releasing the Government's surplus reserve revenues to the market. Since July 1st the i | Government has collected over §16,000,000 more for customs than in the corresponding | period last vear, which is several millions Tore than the reduction in the internal reve- nue from the repeal of taxes on July 1. It is only by reason of an increase of over $16.000,- | 000 in the Government expenditures that the current surplue has been reduced about one- third, but payments for customs duties are meade almost exclusively in New York and make a dafly drain on the New York bank re- cerve. Last year the United Statgs Treasury was purchasing bonds at this peflod at the rate of several millions a week. This week the offer to pay the October 1 interest has re- sulted in the disbursement of less than two millions of dollars to the New York .money market. Free Government bonds held by na- tional banks have been ured to the extent of over £4,000,000 as security for increase of Government deposits ‘with banks, but practi- cally none of this has gone into New York The payments to the Sub-Treasury on ac- count of customs and the deposits with that institution of currency for telegraphic transfer to the interior largely exceeded the disburse ment of Government interest, so that bank re- serves have not enjoyed any actfal recupera- | tion from that source. The feasibility of ad- ditional measures of relief by the Treasury Department have been actively discussed dur- ing the week in Wall street, but none has been found that meets with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury. The 20 per cent Tioney rate on Monday sent the sterling ex- change rate down to0 2 point which made pos- sible the engagement of gold for fmport to the extent of $3,500,000 in Londcn or in transit to that point. Ehipments from Australia snade this week or before bring the total gold bound for this polnt to about $8,0%0,000 due to arrive ‘n the next three weeks. The future condition of the Ilccal money market, 1%, is believed, will | turn upon the additional amounts of foreign £old which can be secured on profitable terms for shipnent to New York. Bankers agree, however that with the additional interior re. Guirements for currency till to be met there is a probability of tight money in New York for several weeks to come. n ve been dull and irregular in sym- pathy with stocks. 55 United States 5s advanced %, the new 4s 15, the 3s 3, the 2s and the old 4s 1% per cent as compared with the closing call of last week.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20—The statement of the Assoclated Banks for the wcek ending to- day is as follows: Loans, $887,54,400; de- crease, $11,964,500. Deposits, $838,871,000% de- crease, $19,608,300. Circulation, $34,761,300; increase, $195,500. Legal tenders, $00,508,500; decrease, $1,503,600. Specte, §150,007,200; de- crease, $5,768,100. Total reserves $220,575,700; decrease, $7,331,700. Reserve required, $22, 20; decrease, $4,974,575. Deficit reserve, $1,642,050; decrease, $2,357,125. The Financier saye: The most striking fact shown by the officlal statement of the New York Assoclated Banks last week was that the surplus reserve 'had been entirely wiped out, leaving a deficit of $1,642,050. It is noteworthy that this is the first time since November 25, 1899, that a deficiency in reserve Las been shown; then it was $5,6.2,000, It may be observed that the wiping out of the surplus should excite mo apprehension. As has here- tofore been stated, reserves are for use, mot ornament, and whenever the needs of the situa- tion demand an encroachment upon the sur- us, even to the extent of its entire extinc- m, it is permissible, ani is so recognized by the ‘Comptroller of the Currency, Moreover, it may be noted that only the national banks in | the assoclation, numbering forty-two out of the fifty-nine, are required by iaw to main- tain 25 per cent of reserve to deposits, the re- maining seventeen State banks being obliged legally to hold but 15 per cent. The banks in the assoclation are exceptionally strong as re- gards surplus and net profits, which exceed by §14,464,400 the total ocapital of §100,072,700, and therefore there cannot be the least cause for anxiety. The banks will In the current | week and immediately thereafter receive con- | ard hence the present situation will be speedily | refleved. | The banks last week reported a loss | of 87,331,000 cash, specie being reduced by $5,768,100 and legal tenders by $1,563,600. This loss was much greater than that which was estimated on the basis. of the traceable move- | ments of money during the week, which showed & probable decrease of $4,038,000. The discrep- ancy can be accounted for on the theory that there was a much greater movement to the interior than was reported. The loans were since August 16 of about $41,500,000. This contraction was doubtless due to calls of loans by banks which thereby sought to rectify their position as regards reserve. The deposits fell off $19,898,300 or $71,200,000 since August 16: the reserve requirement was reduced $4.974,67 | through the deérease in deposits: deducting this | #um from the sum of cash leaves $2,357,125 as the loss of surplus reserve, which as above stated now stands as a $1,642,060 deficiency. The circulation was increased during the week $403,800, making $2.178,600 since August 9, which increase was distributed among the The average daily_clearings last week were $258,000,000, against $277.000,000 in the previous week, refiecting the smaller vol- ume of business on the Stock Exchange.
