THE BANK STATEMENT
AND FlNANClER's COMMENTS THEREUPoN
The Showing Is favorable, Though the Flow of Money From the Interior Contu-
 uesPeculiar Features,
New York, June 15.-Thc following is be paaklv hn nk cfafpmnn1.

New York, June 15-Thc following is the weekly bank statement:
 Reserve, decrease. ...... ..........$l,7 ,70y 0O0 Loans, lncrease...... 4,4Sl l9O0 Specie, decrease. se.................. 45l4, 800 Legals, increase. se.................. 3,51030 Deposits, increase. ........,..... zSlJ,zUO Circulation, increase se..,.......,.. 13,000
 The New York Financier sayS this week: With money ruling at the lowest figures the associated banks of this city reported Saturday, June 15, the largest volume of loans outstanding since the organization of the clearing house. Only once-December s, 1S94-has the present total been approached, and less than half a dozen times has the $500,0000 900 mark been reached. In the face of such a showing the current statement cannot be regarded as unfavorable. The flow of money from the interior. however, con tinueS in a seemingly endless stream, and had 1t not been for the unusually heavy changes in the several items the reserve must have increased rather than shown a decrease of nearly $2,000, 900.
 The loss of $4,514,500 in specie was due solely to the transfer of S10,000, GOO held by several government depository banks of the treasury last week. This gold had already figured as a treasury balance It is interesting 10 note that the loss reported by the entire list of clearing house banks coincides almost exactly with the decrease reponted by one bank alone. How treasury balance can also be figured as q bank balance is some what strange. The increase of $2,S19, 200 in deposits and 300 legals reflects the interior movement and the expansion of $4,487900 in loans, if not made up largely of stock exchange transactions. is an encouraging sign for the revival in business. One year ago the banks were carrying an excess reserve of 76,376,575 and loans were $44, ,000, 900 less. Two years since the banks were issuing clear ing house certificates. and while the abbreviated statement, then issued weekly, showed an apparent surplus re- serNE of $S,000,000, 1t is known that many banks were below the limit required by law. Since then the New York banks have practically absorbed three heavy bond issues and still have nearly $40.- 000, 900 surplus money to loan.

 Russia has effected another clever stroke with the Bank of France, which has agreed to receive Russian bonds and issue them against the Bank of France certificates The Russian treasury thus receives the all-powerful support of the government bank, and through it's medium will be able to place Russian stock all over France. Nothing has been heard of Russian return for the concession, except that the Bank of Russia shall honor French notes as gold throughout Russia.

MORE LIGHT AND LESS NOISE.
How Virginia Congressman Turned
Comical Negro Story.

Comical Negro Story.
When Gov. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, was
member Of congress he told a story
on the floor of the house one day
which effectually destroyed the effect
of speech made by Bourke Cochran.
The story is about an honest old Me-
gro, who when trudging home at mid
night was caught in thunderstorm.
1T frightened him greatly and shook
his nerve. He couldn't see his hand
before his face, but Numbered along in
the darkness, stumbling over obstacles
and occasionally falling down. While
the rains descended now and then a
brief flash of lightning very brief it
was, Mr. Speaker-would split the
darkness like O knife. For a sec
ond the glare would show the
poor old Negro where he stood,
and then he would be left in deeper
darkness than ever. The thunders,
however, were more constant, and the
crash and roll of their voices would
have made the biggest artillery in the
world seem small. 1t also served to
terrify the poor old colored man very
much; the lightning; the darkness and
especially the thunder almost drove
him out Of his wits with fear. After
one more fearful crash than usual he
broke down and fell upon his knees
and began to pray. oh, Lord he
cried, L recognize your goodness and
your power, but if it is all the same to
you, oh, Lord, couldn't you furnish me
little more light and little less
noise? Amen And that, / must say.
Mr.. Speaker" concluded Mr.. o'Ferrall.
