This difference may be in | great part aecounted for, however, by the | fact that the banks lost 'an average of $3,- ! 500,000 by the payment through them to the sub-treasury on Friday of the previous week of $2,800,000, the amount of the Central Pacific note, and they also lost $1,600,000 which was withdrawn on Friday of last week for ship- ment to Cuba on Saturday. | e net gain of cash reported by the state- | ment was §181,300, specie increasing it $i. 955,500 and legal tenders decreasing $1,854,100. Deposits fell off §752,200, causing a reduction of §$188,0560 in the required reserves, and adding this sum to the met gain in cash, as above, made an increase of $519,250 in surplus re- serve to §56, Computed on the basis of deposits less those of $23,370,100 public funds, the surplus is $62,151,375. ans were contracted $1,861,200, probably reflecting the cancellation of those against the proceeds of the Cuban bonds and also the small volume of cemmission-house borrowing during the week. The statement of next week will most likely show a net galn in cash resuiting from less than $2,600,000 of which will be shipped on Tuesday to London. The daily average of bank clearings during the week was $170,000,- , or $6,000,000 less than in the previous reflecting the decreased business on the Stock Ex change.
