This dis Tepaney of more than $3,000,000 between the official and tho | estimated loss cannot be accounted for even on the supposition that it was due t<. the operation of the average system. I The assay office paid during the wc.eK i $1,132,419 for imported gold, which pay : rnent was not included in the estimates; i moreover, the whole of this disburse ment should, it would seem, have been ■ accounted for in cash receipts by the ; banks, because the payments were dis- i tributed throughout the entire week. There was a transfer to San Francisco lon Friday of $&00.000, which did not , aypear. in the estimates, but this would | count only for an average of one day. or | one-sixth of the amount. The estimated ! loss in the previous week showed a de | crease of $4,266,100 cash, while the oftl- : cia] statement indicated a reduction »* ; $2,915,300. It is- quite possible, them- , fore, that some of the loss in the week . ending November 14 was brought over , into last week, thus partly accounting ! for the above noted discrepancy of $3,- | 000,000. The deposits decreased $6,081.- 700 last week and required reserve was thereby reduced $1,520,425. Deducting this sum from the loss of cash, leaves $2,22.7,075 as the decrease In surplus re ■serve to 53,991.350. Computed upon the basis of deposits Jess those of $36,- 801,100 of public funds, the surplus is $13,111,625. Loans were decreased $2,- 620,700, probably reflecting the aver age of calls made late in the week, and also ilqiudalion of speculative accounts on the stock ex, utnge; borrowing upon i sterling investments was most likely not . large enough to have an offsetting influ- | enoe. . . ■ Comparisons of loans with the previous ! week show that six of the large banks j i reduced tills item by $400,000 net. ( ash , I changes show a loss by six banks oi j $3,800,000. T’i . :rli the surplus reserve , ! of the banks is low, this fact should : : cause no concern. Doubtless in the. cm- ! i rent week the greater part ot the $o - I 000,000 gold now in transit will antv., i and payment th- iefore should be retlect i ed in the bank statement. Moreover, the drain of money t the west is at an emh ami not much more probably Wll ‘ be l_ Q’.’.ireJ for shipmi nt to New Orleans.
