THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The local monetary conditions of last week were
q surprise 20 every one who not cognizant
OF the exceptional causes for the outflow Of money
from the city during the preceding week While
no approach TO stringency was anticipated, there
was general expectation that the rates for money
last week would rule little higher They did
not: but OH the contrary, the average was lower
Yesterdays Dank statement wholly explained The
situation, by rejecting return OF all the money
sent East and 20 Philadelphia during the preoed-
ing week and considerable additional receipts from
the interior The average rate. for oan loans
during the week could hardly exceed per cent.
That financial institutions are anticipating con-
tinued case and low rates is shown by their
anxiety TO renew time loans about matur
ing ard 10 make new loans from any period from
thirty days 20 four months at per cent on mixed
eOllaterals, the credit Of tho borrower being re
parded as Of more consequence than the character
of the securities, II protected by ample margins
The exports from the United States OF cotton
breadstUfs, provisions and petroleum In the month
OF January made favorable comparisons with the
same month Of 1893 The aggregate value Of
the articles named which were exported last month
from all of the ports was S53, lb5,5a2-an Increase
on January, 1888, Of 81, 600 900. This indicates
an excess Of exports over imports for last month
OF about ss 00O, 900, against an excess OF s4,56I-
600 In January 1883 The subioined table gives

The foreign exchanges were only moderately
active during the week, but the tone Of the mar
lcet was Hrmer principally because Of q hardening
of rates in the London open money market There,
however, seems 20 be no anticipation or removed
exports Of gold unless for exceptional purposes
and the full extent Of any such movement, the
condition OF tho Cove rnment bond market war
rants the belief that the demand will be met with
a supply from the Treasury in exchange for pur-

ASSOcTATFD PRESS DISPATCHES.
The Kansas Disaster.

ST. LOUIS. June Traditional advices
about the disaster in Kansas from wind and
rain storms are that Uniontown, about Is
miles west of Fort Scott, on the Wichita a.
Western railway, was swept away, and that
two women and four children were drowned.
I>Uniontowu, which is place OF six hundred
inhabitants, is In the midst of thickly set
tied country and it is feared that the loss of
life Ia even heavier than reported. AS the
wires are down for Is miles on either side
nothing defute can be learned. The storm
struck the western part of BOURBON county
late at night coming from the west, where
| it had played great havoc. At Augusta it
assumed the form of cloud burst, and
though every thing poss tle has been done
to obtain details by the railroads all ia un.
certain at present. At Fort Scott it COM
menced raining about o'clock Sunday
morning Old residents say it was the
hardest rain in the city for years. Water
com menced raising In Buck Run at s q. m.
Lamo & Mead's Ice dam on Sixth street
burst about 10 n. m, causing the water In
Buck Run to rise at the rate of about three
feet an hour, carrying away several houses
and the bridge across Sixth street. The
part of Fort Scott known as Beltown wes
entirely under water. This was caused by
the overflow from Marmaton River. Poo
pie we're taken out with boats. Several
bridges were washed out and trains were
stopped on both sides of Fort Scott. The
Kansas, Nebraska & Dakota track is under
water for about nine miles out. The Mem.
phis road ia badly damaged for about LOCO
/ feef, ten miles north OF Fort Scott. All the
people in the bottom in east Fort Scott
moved out. At last accounts the water had
stopped Using. and If no more rain falls, the
fl ,od will rapidly subsde. Every effort Is
being made to obtain information from u.
iontown.
