The increase of deposits for the week Is duo in a great part to special causes, one bank alone report.ng an expansion in this item of $6,843,0*3*. This was due to tin. Union Pacific settlements. Fve banks gained in deposits nearly $13,000,000, from which it is to lie inferred that the deposits of tlie other fifty-nine banks in the dent ing house, are about 000,0(10 less than at file end of the previous week. Tho gain :n casli was $1,166,300, but tills, too, seems involved m special transactions. It is known that the banks rc*dve.l from th interior more than two millions in excess of shipments, l>ut since one bank alon>. i'l.-re is* ■! its cash $5,800,000 nnd the gains m:id<» bv three amounted to .fB.-uo.oiiu, It. follows ‘that the large majority of th., banks have decreased the r re-.tvs. Tho ' sta'.oment as a whole proves the banks t.> t'e in strong condition. The larger instrtu (ions are buving sterling bills, and as tho Union Pacific deal h is been financed with out tho first suggestion of disturbance, the outlook is for cheap money for some time to com*'. The weekly hank statement shows the following changes: Itesorv.. decrease * 't.".'"’ Loans increase Spree increase Legal tenders nereaso , 287,**H* Deposits increase 6.41<,1'**1 Circulation decrease Fl.t'i.l Tho banks now hold $22,122 9.’«f in .•xecxs of the legal requirements of the 25 per cent rule.
