Market Notes.

year ago the reserve held by the banks
deficiency Of $349,225 In the surplus
reserve. This year the reserve held
is s1l2 2,Sl5,6OO, with a surplus OF 5000
000 The surplus reserve last year
reached it's most unfavorable point the
second week in December. There was
then a rapid gain in reserve on govern
ment disbursements, followed by another
period OF weakness extending from the
second week in October until the last OF
November
The drain on the stock of available
funds from the second week in October
amounted to about SS 100000, an amount
which we could lose now without going
below the legal limit, and without dis
turbing loans or deposits, The stock Of
money in the form of deposits is very
much larger than than at this time last
year, s4l3, ZOO, ,O0O against s403, 900, 900, while
loans are almost precisely the same. The
stock of specie is ~ 100000 smaller than a
year ago, but the effect of the continued
enlargement of the stock Of legal tenders
from SEQ, 100000 at this time last year to
$4,000, 900 last week.
1t is somewhat noticeable that the stock
of specie held by the banks has been gain
ing steadily since the first week in June,
the increase during that time having been
about sl6,000,000. Legal tenders have
gone from the city in quantity since the
last week IN July, the loss amounting to
nearly els, ,000,0 900. Evidence that the bull
market has not caused any undue expan-
sion of loans is afforded by the fact that
the second week in June saw loans and
deposits standing alike as 1888 100000
Since that time loans have increased S22,
1000, but deposits have gained $1,000

THAT DEMOCRACY PLATFORM.
IL VIII bs Adopted by the City Committed
at the Meeting Tonight.

The Democratic City Committee will
meet at the Central Station at o'clock
this evening. The announcement to the
members of the committee states that
business of importance will be trans
acted"
IL is stated on the best of authority that
this business of Importance will include
the discussion of the platform adopted last
week by the Providence Democracy, which
by the way was borrowed from Gen. Dyer.
This platform will be discussed at con-
siderable length, and an effort will be
made by the members of the committee
who are also members of the Providence
Democracy, TO have the platform adoptel1
by the city committee.
In other words, said one Of the com
mittee today, "the Providence Democ-
racy will attempt 10 dictate TO the Demo
cratic City Committee II may 90 i'm the
committee meeting but it wont when we
get 20 work outside"
Another item in the business Of i'm
portance will I've n discussion OF the
mayoralty situation, with view Of feel
ing OUT how the committee stands. As
IL is well known fact that
the majority OF the committee is
the committees choice for the mayors
chair. That's the way il looks now An
effort will also he made To reconcile the
"Sore Heads, as McNally's opponents are
termed. but there il little possibility Of the
breach between the warning factions be
ing bridged over, although the opposition
may not make very much noise in the
committee meeting when they know IL
will do no good TO object in the face Of 40
strong opposition.
Another matter TO be attended to TO-
night Is TO issue the call for the caucuses.

testing the equalization of the taxes of

OLD INDIAN RELICS.
Skeleton of a Woman Buried Over
Two Hundred Years Ago.

A discovery important to relic hunters has
inst heen made at Sandy Hook, in the east
ern norton of this town, says a Newton
(Conn0 dispatch TO the New York Sun. 1t
is the finding of several skeletons and
quantity of curious Indian relics which
have laid undisturbed for more than 200
wears. Two woodcock hunters from Bridge
port, George Morgan and Thomas Vose.
were out on Saturday, and while crossing
small rise of ground half mile above the
rubber-mills found an .earthen Jar. the TOP
of which was exposed on account of the re-
cent heavy rains. Taylor has dog which
is crazy to hunt wOodehueks, and he set the
animal to digging by the side Of the
jar. Morgan turned to and assisted, and it
took half an hour for the two men and the
dog to unearth the curious lar, II was a
mammoth vessel and stood nearly three feet
high The sides were decorated in a rengh
way with clay of different color from the
lar itself, which was dark stone brown.
Age had weakened the vessel, and the con-
tents caused so great pressure that In a
few moments it fell apart and exposed the
entire skeleton of an adult in a sitting
,posture. with the head bent over and resting
between the knees. Whsn the lar tumbled
apart the dry gravel also fell away and left
the bones almost entirely Tree from dirt.
Although the skeleton was perfect with the
exception OF the small bones which had
crumbled away, the skull and vertebre were
too frail to bear handling and broke when
taken in the hand.
The skull was undoubtedly that of an In
dian woman who had been buried with
honors. In the burial urn We're several
stone implements and quantity of shell
beads which had probably been strung to-
gether. Under the pot was peck of more
of clam shells and arrow heads, all of which
had been baked. The flint arrow points
were always rendered useless BY baking be-
fore being bun led with the dead to prevent
the grayess being opened for plunder. Mr.
Morgan suggested that further inyestiga-
ton be mad9, and the earth was ding away
for quite a distance. Half dozen stone
hammers and axes were unearthed and
finally four more skeletons were founu.
These were not buried in urns, but rested in
the same sitting posture, and the excaya-
tons which had been made for the bodies
were partly filled with burned shells and
arrow heads.
Many wears ago DR.. w. C. Vile, publisher
of the New England Medical Journal. at
Danbury, found an Indian mound at Sandy
Hook, and he has insisted that there were
more OF them scattered about Newtowp.
The rise OF ground on which the lar was
washed out last week is undoubtedly an In
dian burial place of large extent and Tay-
l0r, who was well known to the public AS a
detective at the time of the Rose Amber
murder, will endeavOr to find out who is. the
rlghtful owner OF the land. Residents of
Sandy Hook do not seem to know whose
property the land is where the bones we're
discovered on Saturday. Morgan will buy
it as speculative scheme.
