Increase 201.100 The banks now hold $20,050,200 in excess of the requirements cf the 23 per cent. rule. BANK STATEMENT REVIEWED. The Financier says: "The statement of the associated banks of New York for the week ending Sept. 8, reflects a fcomewhat greater decree of business activity, both in the matter of local commercial loans and with the interior. For the first time in a long period the banks have received less money than they have forwarded to Westem and Southern points. They gained, it is true, as a result of transactions with the ubtreasury, but the system of averages employed does not show the exact balance and the various institutions probably hold more money than the totals Indicate. The reported loss of cash holdings Is small, amounting to $323,000, but this, combined with the extra reserve necessitated by the expansion of $2,754,500 deposits, decreases the surplus a h.tle more than one million dollars, bringing the total to $26,Ok.2jO, which is much higher than at the corre sponding periods over several years past. The gain of $1.953.000 In loans was rather larger than anticipated. The present volume of the loan item, amounting to nearly $S19.000.0uO. Is the highest of the year, and as any addition must necessarily enlarge deposits and therefore increase reserve requirements, it will be seen that this, combined with a withdrawal of money to the Interior, must operate in tue direction of lowering surplus reserve very rapidly. "The principal point of Interest just at present is the estimated requirement for crop-moving' purposes. Careful inquiry extending over large area3 of territory leads to the impression that the drain on New York, this year, will be less than usual, owing to the abundance of money at other centers, but for all that, bankers of long expertenee are cautious In Indorsing this opinion. One factor that is to be taken Into consideration is the doubling of the circulation by national banks at this center. It is expected that this money will be used largely in interior remittances and the effect will be to furnish a great deal of currency without, a radical reduction In reserves. The country has to-day nearly, or quite, $S0.00Ot(yo of national bank currency more than a year ago and there is no question that it is to play an important part in the fall business now at hand." STOCK MARKET DULL. "With the exception of a dabbling speculation in some of the specialties, notably People's Gas, Sugar and Brooklyn Transit, no particular Interest attached to t ie dealings on the New York exchange Saturday. The holiday In London aggravated the dullness, and the weakness of the active specialties made the general tone heavy. The impending strike of anthracite miners had a depressing influence tni sentiment generally, though the cealers themselves were little affected. New Jersey Central recovered most of the early decline, and Reading first preferred was not down more than a fraction at any time. None of the other ttooks of anthracite-carrying roads was dealt In. The comparative firmness of the coalers was partly due to the recent large output of coal from the mines, and partly to a belief that the strike might be restricted within narrow limits. Rut the prospect of a controversy affecting so large a body of laborers and such large Investments of capital being abandoned to hos tile methods for settlement aroused uneasiness among holders and operators in se curities, rrlday's recovery In Brooklvn Transit gave place to a relapse on Saturday, and People's Gas continued weak. In spite of an effort to make it appear that Chicago Gas was covered by an understanding between the contending com panies. A large demand from shorts ral lied the stock, and practically all the loss was recovered. The weak bank return failed to affect the market. The movement of currency to the interior has evidently been mucn larger than the preliminary estl mates Indicated. It is evident also that the banks have been obliged to draw on their legal tenders to meet this demand. It had been expected that the Interior demand this fall might be met by the newly-Issued notes of the New York banks, which do not figure in the cash set aside to meet the legal reserve requirement. The figures of the banks show that this has not been the case. The loan increase was made in the market on loans and on purchases of com merclal paper, instead of on sterling collateral, as has been the case for some time past. The net result is a decline In the surplus of a little over a million dollars. REVIEW OF THE WEEK. The stock market made a .false start again last week. After three days of idleness and after a brief flurry of activity it dropped back into its lethargy and prices sagged again to the formal level. The general investment or speculative world was not a participant in the deal Ings at any time, but there was some evidence of bolder and larger operations of a proiessionai cnaracter, wnicn were supposed to be due to the re-entry of some of the influential speculative leaders newly returned from vacations abroad. The board room professionals, who have attributed the prevailing dullness to political causes. expected that the determination of the Vermont electoral contest would lead to some activity. The London stock market was impressed with the same view and American stocks were pushed up briskly on the London exchange on "Wednesday morning before the opening in New ork But the home market eagerly availed itself of the London demand to unload some heavy blocks. Lau t in the day stocks were bought again in the hope that the demand from London would be renewed on Thurs day, but that hope was quickly dissipated Thursday morning and London showed Its disappointment at New York's failure to co-operate in the buying movement. The erratic fluctuations in Brooklyn Transit were specially attributed to the undercurrents of municipal politics, and other corforailons dealing with public utilities were ikev-ise affected. .The disposition on the part of London to buy stocks at New York was increased by the marked ease of money at that center and the generally more cheerful view held of international lolltlcs, but the vigorous measure adopted by the Bank of England by large borrowings from the open market checked the downward tendency of rioney and gave an intimation of knowledge of some future demands to be made upon the money markets. Suggestions are heard of an additional loan to be placed and the presence In France of the Russian minister of finance arouses discussions of meaurei tu met Ru.-lan demands for finds. The London money market hardened In cor ! uenT'?. and at the am time sterling exchange weakened in New York under offerings of cotton bills brought on the market by the urgent buying of cash cotton to tide over the Ei.gllsh shortage. This dissipated the hordes of London of a gold movement from New York and weighed on the stock market. , NO UNEASINESS. It is considered probable that future Rrttlrh lotns may seek, a lodgment in New Icrk wHJt, it view to Inducing further movement u' 'gold to London. It ca-not be salj. However, that a", une&alness exists in New

York over the- future of the money market, in spite of this possibility of extraordinary demand for gold from abroad. This, and the beginning of the currency movement to the South and West, as well as the practical cessation of operations under the new government refunding and bank note extension law, which have been a source of replenishment to the bank reserves, all leave the money market practically unruffled. Rates have become easier for time leans and Western banks continue to buy commercial paper in New York at rates below those bid by New York banks. It is expected on this account that the Interior demands for money will be le?s than usual tl Is season. The constant receipt by New York banks of remittances on account of Klondike and Australian gold and the largo eurrent output of American mines are both to bo reckoned with in Judging the question cf reserves. The Increased business in Iron and sted and the progress made toward adjustment of wages are considered favorable as far as they go, but the definitive status of the industry is felt yet to be decided, and the future prices of steel rails especially arc looked for to help decide the future level of railroad expenses. High prices of steel rails and coal are serious elements in th-2 expenses of railroad operation, though railroad earnings continue to be well maintained. The declaration of manufacturers or Iron products that the maintenance of the export trade will depend on reduced freight rates for the products shows one of the important problems upon the settlement of which speculators interested are waiting. Considerable demand reveals a scaiclty of stocks offering and prices are easily advanced. The general sentiment continues to be one of caution against possible acctdents. Sugar had its periodical flurry and Its periodical surprise over the dividend declaration, and then became quiet. A feature of the week was the strength of silver on the demand for remittances to China. The decrease In merchandise shipments to China, oh account of the troubles there calls for shipments of silver against merchandise received from China. The apathy of capital toward securities has been quite as marked in the bond market as in stocks. United ßtates refunding reconds, when issued, and the fives advanced and the old fours per cent. in the price bid. Following are Saturday's share sales and the closing bid quotation?:

For the first wee4c in September, with hot weather a feature and & presidential campaign pending, the wholesale houses last week had a very satisfactory trade decidedly better th..n any wk In Aurut; but there Is still room for improvement, which will doubtless b- realized with the comln of fall-like weather. In prices there were tut few changes. The lin.red oil market broke badly, going off 5 cents during the fvek. and fce hide market continues! dull and fvak in tone. In the leather market an Improve ment Is reported. Wholesale confectioners report thir business Improving, as do seed merchants. Poultry, eggs and butter are in active request.
