in the week ended last Friday evening, which in
cludc receipts of $40, 900 for exchange other
Sub-Treasurics and the payment of S2,04s,144 for
purchased bonds the New-Yorll banks gained
SiO9,7 s1 cash. Up to Wednesday the banks had
lost to the Sub-Treasury about S1,200,0O0,
which counted in the averages a
much larger sum than the gain Of
81 500, 900 on Thursday and Friday. The week.
" bank statement of bank averages shows a
loss of 81, 000,500 cash from the average of the
preceding week, which indicates that the interior
money movement outside of Treasury operations
was larger outgo than receipts. Bat as the later
gains from the Sub-rreasury would count in the
averages for only $500, OOO it is probable that the
actual cash held at the close of business Fri
dav WAS greater than the sum reported the
average of the week The loans were expanded

alarmed at conditions made public by the state

Edwards told of the work the society's ex-
Dlorers have done in Egypt and illustrated her
remarks by views Of the excayations and OF
statues and other antiquities. The views were
very poor ones. Miss Edwards explained that
they were taken with an improvlsed camera
made Of biscuit box, with such glass ne could
be had near the ruins. The first picture repre-
sented t9ll, lanky god made up entirely Of
angles with his nose smashed. Miss Edwards
said the Arabs have such hatred OF imita-

them Whonever they can. One OF the views
represented store chamber Of magazine.
Miss Edwards explained how the lower bricks
In the wall were made Of clay and chopped

very clear and interesting way. She told the
audience how explorers had recently found in
