Contraction of Loans of the
New York Banks
SOME VERY CHEERING SIGNS
Stoppage Of the Movement Of Money to
New York
Growing Demand for Dried Apricots-Re-
ports Of Peculiar Ply Damaging
the Wheat Crop
SOME VERY CHEERING SIGNS

The Financier OF New York. in its re-
view of the weeks work in the financial
world, says that the statement OF the as
sociated banks of New York for the week
ending July 18th is the first in weeks to
show contraction in loans, the net de-
crease being 81, 516 700. The average vol
ume, however, is still far above the aver
age. One year ago loans we're declining
regularly week by week, while deposits
were piling up steadily. Loans were then
nearly $780, 600, 600 less than deposits. The
difference now is but $66, 900, 900. In
other woros, loans were then over $685.
900. 900 less than at present and depos-
its we're over $4,000, 900 higher than the
amounts now held by the New York
banks.
A very cheering sign, even though it
may be due to temporary causes. is the
stoppage OF the movement Of money from
the interior to New York. Greater per-
centage Of trade balances must have been
cancelled long since. but money appar-
emily was sent there for the small interest
it would earn. Last weeks shipments
were less than $l00, 100, and receipts from
different centers show that trade is active
cHOuEH " IcuuHC dll bI0 uOnCy thc
banks can furnish for the purpose. Talk
OF higher money rates in New York still
continues. but the outlook does not war;
rant prediction of much Of an advance
just at present.
Pomona Progress: Buyers are in the
field this week for dried apricots. and are
offering from cents 10 ~ cents pound.
There seems to be disposition among
the growers this year to sell their fruit
as soon as it is ready TO handle. 1t is the
best thing to. do, too. if fair prices are
offered. which il usually the case. The
experience OF fruit growers has been that
in about three cases out of four they have
lost money by holding their fruit and not
selling when there were competing buy
ers in the field to purchase.
A Stockton dispatch says that the wheat
crops on Roberts island. which prom ised
to give the largest yields OF any. year,
have been greatly damaged OF late by the
appearance of peculiar pest. 1t is a fly
which cuts the head from the stalk and
then makes nest in the stalk. where it
lays eggs. The farmers on the island say
their crops will be lessened five sacks to
the acre, while bad weather in the states
OF Washington and Oregon has greatly
damaged the hop crop, and it Is probable
that not over half the normal crop will be
baled in the northwest this saeson.

WILDE GUILTY.
He Was Sentenced to Two
Years Imprisonment.
The Time to Be Spent In Prison at
Hard Labor.
Alfred Taylor, His Associate, Re-
ceived the Same Sentence.

LONDON, May 25.-There was the usual
crowd of interested spectators in the court
room OF the Old Bailey this morning, all anxi-
GUS to witness the final stages of the trial OF
Oscar Wilde. When the court adjourned yes
terday, Sir Frank Lockwood, the solicitor
general, had Just commenced his address to
the jury on behalf of the prosecution, and IL
was expected that he would denounce Wilde
in strong language when no resumed his argu-
ment today. Wilde took his seat in the pris-
oner's dock, facing the Jury, and looking ex-
tremely anxious. As expected. when sir
Frank Lockwood resumed his speech he
dealt severely with Wilde In his reference to
the prisoners indecency with Lord Alfred
Douglas. Referring to the much-commented
upon letters. which Wilde wrote to Lord
Alfred Douglas, counsel said that the Jury had
been told they were too low to appreciate
such poetry and he Sir Frank Lockwood,
thanked God. il was so. as it showed that they
were above the level of beasts.
Sir Edward Clarke, leading counsel for
Wilde, here interposed object ions to such ap-
peals as the one just made by Sir Frank Lock
wood, which, counsel claimed, should not be
allowed.
When Sir Frank Lockwood continued his
speech, he warned the Jury to render ver-
dict which would prevent "such detestable
and abominable vice TO rear its head unblush-
ingly in this country"
justice Wills began summing up at 30 p. m.
The general tenor OF his addresses to the jury
was favorable TO Wilde. The jury retired at
8 80 p. M, and In a short time returned ver-
dict of guilty.
Wilde has been sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment.
Alfred Taylor. wilde's associate, was also
sentenced today TO two years imprisonment.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-05-25
The Mills at 0IneyviIIe May
Resume Work.
All That Is Necessary is Assurance
OF Freedom From Trouble.
The Whole Matter Now Rests With
the Strikers Themselves.

The break in the deadlock between the
operatives and mill owners is approach
ing, and 1t may not be more than a week
distant. The mill owners are simply
waiting until they have assurance
that the great body OF operatives
are In readiness to resume work and re-
main at their machines without the rest
less spirit that caused the com bine to be
made for the protection Of the manufac-
turers.
Information from the most reliable
sources shows that from rs to 80 per cent.
OF the help out on a strike, or
locked out In Olneyvile desire to
return, and 1t Is safe to say that
when the manufacturers are shown this
conclusively, as they are TO be in few
days, the mill gates will swing open and
work will be esumed
Mayor Olney, by request, laid the case
before the Manufacturers Club last even
ing, and consideration was promised as
soon as 1t seemed practical for their own
protection.
A NEWS man visited Textile Hall this
morning, accosting Peter McDermott, a
prominent member of the executive COM
mittee, as to his views on the assertion
openly made that nine -tenths OF the
people were ready to go back TO work.
III the mills were TO open, you would
see how foolish such an assertion is.
that over 200 of the 5000, now out OF en-
ployment, would return to work IL the
gates were opened. Certainly the National
weavers, who hold the key TO the situa-
tion in Fletcher's mills, would remain
out almost to a man."
Contempt was expressed Of the business
men who presumed to offer any sugges-
tions about the strike. ave 10 not inter-
fere with their affairs and offer sugges-
tions as to the way they ought to conduct
their business"
This is the way the executive commit
tee appear TO look at the situation, and
they appear sincere-some OF them, at
least.
A business man, when asked IL he
thought any interference on his part
would tend to injure him with the opera
tives, replied: "Quite the contrary. A
very large percentage of my customers
every day beseech me to get the business
men to intercede and try and get the
strike settled"
1t is not thought any attempt will be
made to start In any OF the mills Monday,
although the pressure to do so is very
great.
