One Of the weak points in the present con-
-dition Of the New York banks is the large
amounIs they lend to single firms or individ.
uals. Il is now well known that many of the
New York banks take the paper Of single
hrms to amounts ranging from $780, 900 to
100000 Still another feature is mentioned
10y the New York Commercial, as follows:
*vhs inquiry is suggested by the failure of
thI Bank Of the State, why the trust compa-
nih and heavy savings banks keep so much
OF their ready money in bank in place of their
own vaults in bank notes or gresnbacks. Tue
same subject came up after the panic of 1873,
when the Union Trust was dishonored by the
Manhattan Bank, and the United States Trust
had bank notes or greenbacks refused on its
checks on the same bank.
''Since then the Union Trust has placed its
account with the largest banks in the city,
other day with $500, 600 or $500, 600 on de-
posit in the Bank of the State"
White House Expenses.
Some idea of what nice soft place the
Presidency of the United States is may be
obtained IRON the following annual expendi-
lures for the White House: Fifty thou-a and
dollars salary; a private secretary at $500; an
assistant private secretary at $500; two clerks
at $1,000; q steward at $4,000; q messenger at
$1,000; furnace-keeper at 1854; night
wa,chman Mt $500; an usher at $1,000; two
s-doorkeepers at $240O. But this is not all,
The contingent expenses, including station
cry, ere $1,000; the annual repairs cost
$4,000; the annual refurnishing, SO,
1000; fuel for Executive mansion and green
house, $4,000; lights and fixtures, lamps and
gas.fstings, $4,000; official postage stamps,
$6OO-msking in all. about $l16. 600 q year.
The expense. under other former administra-
J ti0ns have beens carcely one-haif what they
are now. This is " Grantism."
The Spring Trade.
baltimore Gazette, 25th inst.1
Even the most responding are beginning to
admit that business prospec are improving.
I'm many Of the staple articles the business
shows increased activity, and almost every
where there 10 q more confident feeling. The
grain trade is large, and IS growing constantly
larger. Wheat, which has been quiet for q
long time, is now quite buoyant. and the
prices are ADVANCING All the breadstntfs
show increased activity and confidence. The
coffee trade is somewhat dull, becluse the
strong holders Of it are unwilling to sell at
present prices.
The reported heavy sales Of South Ameri-
can coffes to European markets have slightly
advanced the prices here, and it is believed
will still further advance them. The sugar
trade has never recovered from the shock of
the failure Of Stirring Il Ahrens. That firm
when it went down carried with 1t the greater
rt.of the refining business and the greater
rsrt of the West India trade. It is not likely
that there will be any considerable increase
in importahong Of sugars until the Calvert re-
finery is set to work again.
The provision trade shows increasing &C.
~tiyltv, but il is restrained by extreme caution
In dealing with the Southern merchants. Bit
tar experience has taught the unwisdom OF
extending credits very freely in that direction; a
