A Dumber of important banks reported H0110 ch-cnlntion in November as having been'higher than either at the end of October or the end of N0Vcmb€¥`- In the bank statemen_t,_ which always shows the actual position as at the end of the Dreceding month. thlffe 15 a column provided wherein' each bank in addition to showing the Bm0\1l1t of notes outstanding at the end of the month, is required to_ show U10 highest point reached by its circula- tion during the month. The sum- _of these maximnuxn amounts was over $9-3,000,000; \it it is not safe to conclude that at any particular date in November the outstanding issues reached that figure, for the reason that all the banks would n_ot_ arrive at their respective highest points on the same day of the month. Perhaps it would be safe to _say that i-_he aggregate note issues a- bout. Nov. 10 amounted to $91,500.' 000, and that they began to fall _ai- ter that date. On that assumption the expansion of the note circulation from Aug. 31 to Nov 10 was $19,700,- 000. By the end of November it had gone down $5,100,000; by the end Ol December another $5,000,000; and d_“I" January another $8,000,000 making $18,100,000 of a contraction after an cxpension of $10,700,000. Thus the extra currency called into being to move the crops has been 'clears' away, being no longer required. Iti noteworthy 'that the outstandin riots issues as of Jan 31, 1910, ar $7,500,000 higherfthan they were a_ the corresponding date in 1909, $6, 500,000 higher than in 1908, and $5, 1‘oo.ooo higher than iii 1907. iii fiic they make a new high record fo 'January' The current accounts, or deman deposits, fell $27,000,000, while th- notice deposits, or savings account as they are popularly called, ros $0,000,000. This nct fall Of $18,000, 000 in the two classes of home de- posits was to some extent offset bi a gain of $8,200,000 in deposits elsi- where than Canada. This latter - in' crease is supposed to have occurri-ii in London as a result of Canadian bond issues there. The fall in thi: current accounts reflects the con- traction of theicheck _circulation and possibly the withdrawal of some tem-_ porary balances which the banks .were holding. -Ciirrentloans-in Canada, in other words the 'mercantile discounts, de- creased less than $2,000,000. As it is always the' case that a consider- able part of the reduction in current account balances consists of pay- ments made on bank loans, the. sm-all loan reduction shown at the end of the month- infers that some import- ant new ldans were made during the month. Usually the -months imme- diately succecding January are nota- ble for expansion of -mercantile dis- counts: and it is to bc expected that this year will beno exception to the rule.
