THE statement of the condition of the
New York banks issued last week is in
dication of better times. 1t shows that the
reserve fund over and above the 25 per
cent rule, which short time ago reached
100000 has fallen to $22,O00.000.
This reserve has fallen over $5,0O0,000 in
the past week. and all but about half
million, which was deposits withdrawn,
went out in the loans The circulation
shows an increase also This means that
money is being taken out of the banks
for Investment The reserve fell much
more rapidly in 1898, but that was be-
cause the people were afraid to leave
their money in the bank. Now there is
no alarm, and they are taking it out for
use. The result of this increase of
amount in circulation ia seen in the ad-
vance Of the prices of cattle, wheat, corn
and cotton. Under ordinary circum-
stances there is no better barometer of
trade than the New York bank reserve.

He was just an ordinary newsboy on a

was 'onto his job" and was making a
little ION the side" that the company
didn't know anything about.
In fact he was making more con the
side'' than the company was ION the

He admitted he had given himself
into the employ of the news company
just to get the run SO he could ply his
nefarious but profitable business of car
rying a "side line" and paying his board.
I'VE see it's dis way" he explained.

an don't care much anyways, longs he

closing the information to ''saw," and
said so, and the butcher" as the train

pleased to designate themselves, con-
tinued:
