Statement of Associated Banks

NEW YORK, Sept. lathe New York
Financier says this week:
If the statement OF the associated banks
of this city for the week ending Septem-
Der 14th affords any criterion the day of
1 per cent in New York has passed away.
The banks now hold less idle cash than
they ha We reported since April 18th last,
when the reserve was affected by bond
syndicate operations, and while the
h eavy cash reductions of the past week,
amounting to SO, 4B6, 800. were due in bart
to gold exports, the fact should not be
overlooked that the loan items show a
remarkable tendency to advance, without
symptoms of relapse, the increase for the
week ending September 14th being 81, =
1888, 100. The aggregate loans are now
$500, 69s. 900. or nearly $40, 0000 900 in ex-
cess of the figure that stood for years as a
high water mark.
The decrease OF IS, 099, 100 in deposits
shows that money is being employed to
advantage by interior banks in their own
localities. The decrease of 81, 52., 700 in
legal tenders was brought about by ship.
ments previously referred to and also by
the heavy export movement which neces-
states the use of legal tenders. The de-
crease of 81. 911, 800 in specie was brought
about by the deposits of gold in the sub
treasury, made by banks identified with
the bond syndicate.
A new bond issue in the face of such a
heavy decrease in cash would put money
rates far higher than they have been
since the panic.

LOCAL PRODUCE

Daily


LOS ANGELES, Sept. IA.
The week closes after six days of very
steady trade. in which there has been
neither glut of the market nor dearth OF
products. Prices have ruled remarkably
steady, dairy products having shown a
very slight decline and eggs having fuc-
tuated little as supplies were increased
by importations from the east.
Some considerable increase OF the bust
ness i'll household supplies may be ex-
pected, during the coming week, DIS the
opening Of the public schools will bring
the outing season to q sudden close but
the large amount OF products on hand is
likely to prevent any marked increase in
prices.

who not only declares that England owns the coast up to the terminus of the Schomburgk line at the mouth of the Amacuro, but claims land in the inte- rior considerably beyond the furthest estward bend of the Aberdeen line.
 Of course the VeneZuelans declined to accept the Aberdeen line, and nothing further was done in the matter until 1850, when the celebrated status quo was es- tablished, whereby Great Britain agreed not to occupy or encroach upon the ter ritory in dispute in consideration of a similar agreement by Venezuela. What was meant by territory in dispute" was not stated. The status quo has never been abrogated. It is claimed by Vene- zuelans that England has repeatedly vio- lated the status quo by invading the ter ritory far beyond either the Schomburgk or Aberdeen line.
 Lord Granville in 1881 proposed to the Venezuelans a new boundary line. It began far north of the Aberdeen line on the coast, but a short distance south of the Schombourgk line, and did not in clude the Barima river or island, which are now claimed by England. The Gran

A FUTILE EFFORT
To Choke to Death Home Institution Beng
 Made Will 1t Not Succeed2

The Southeastern Tariff association has caused the association companies to leave the Birmingham Underwriters agency because it represents the South ern Mutual Fire Insurance company of Alabama. The Southern Mutual does business only in Alabama and proposes to return the profits to the policy holders, and for this reason the tariff association is taking steps to choke it to death. The Birmingham Underwriters agency is prepared to take care of every policy now in the companies leaving its agency by placing them in other good companies that do not belong to the association. We trust that not a single one of our patrons will desert us in this effort to crush us. If other agencies should so- lct the business in the companies which have left us, we will doubly appreciate 1t should you elect to tell them that it is your decision to let us continue to take care of your business. It is not to be be- leved that the people of Birmingham and Alabama will allow the Tariff asso- citation to make them a party to choke to death an honest effort to build up a home institution. The association has precipitated this matter and made it necessary for the people of Birmingham and Alabama to decide whether they will uphold the Tariff association in its arbi- trary methods by means of which it at tempts to destroy home institutions.
