HOLLYWOOD.

(By c. r. T. Burgwyn.)
/ sat by the ripping river.
As II rolled 10 the sounding sea,
When the past appeared in vision
With it, Joy and It's agony
l saw the read uprising
From their long and silent sleep,
And old ocean was revealing
Forms hid by It's misty deep.
There was the martial planter.
With sabre and laundering gun;
There was the hero of Bethel.
And the victor from Bull Run.
The mighty host was gathered.
As IL was when It's hope was high.
When its warlke flame was flashing,
Nor heard was the widows cry.
There was the dark-plImed warrior.
Whose laugh was like Dugle-call.
And there was the silent soldier.
Who stood like a firm stonewali.
Then came a long. drawn murmur.
Like echo from distant shore.
But IL grew as IL neared in measure.
TIL IL burst with laundering roar.
And now the gathered forces
In one tumntuous veil.
Rushed on the advancing foeman
Like hends let loose from he'll.
A loud victorious paean
Sounded In mighty shout
And | saw the tOeman fleeing
In wild. promiscuOus rout.
But heard the widows wailing.
And the orphans cry for brea2,
While visions slowly outlined
The rows OF sleeping dead.
A mighty spirit called me-
And asked IN solemn tone,
For what was this awful carnage;
For whom were these dark deeds
done?
For what was the fireslde looted7
For what was the widow made?
For what were the children orphanedl
For what were such ashes laidf
When strove 10 find an answer
My tongue II would not move.
Then the spirit muttered slowly
Immortal words OF love.
Mans life Is but an atom
Filled oft with want and care,
But his spirit Is eternal.
And his deeds long record bear.
This race OF native heroes
Which lie now sleeping here
VIII live In song ana story,
increasing year by year.
Their deeds will form pattern
on which the young shall dwell.
Their words will grace all languag
Which the future will retell.
No bastard must revile them,
Or their Just cause disown.
Leave judgment 20 the future
IL VIII their deeds condone.
The spirit ceased and vanished;
] woke from my reyerie:
Nor saw the spectral armies
Hid was the misery.
But the river stu was ripping.
And | heard IN It's hollow tone
That the present calls for duty
as that Of the past was done.

THE BANK STATEMENT.

The weekly statement Of the Associated
Banks shows the following changes:
Reserve, decrease, $4,000.
Loans, increase. $4,000.
Specie, decrease. $1,000.
Legal-tenders, decrease. 1892 900.
Deposits, increase, S2.072.2o0.
Circulation, decrease, S2S.O00.
Tho banks now hold SCI, ,275 in excess
OF legal requirements.
The New York Financier says this
week. The principal items in the state
ment Of the Associated Banks Of New
York for the five days ending July 81
were the increase OF sl.O71O0O in cash
and the expansion Of 81 .2OO0lO in loans.
The July settlements have influenced the
totals 10 greater or less extent, and the
Increase Of s2012.200 I'm deposits probably
resulted from the shifting OF funds in
cident 10 this period. The increase I'm
loans was a favorable feature, but 1t
reflected Stock Exchange transactions as
much as anything else and the state
ment as a whole must be interpreted as
the result OF averages made earlier In
the week. and not as an exhibit of the
banks real condition on the day the
statement was made public. IL Is worthy
Of remark that the banks suffered a de-
cidsd loss in cash. as compared with n
gain Of over two millions during the
previous week, and since the price OF
domestic exchange at interior points has
shown a decided falling on, the latter
factor IS to be taken as indicating a
partial cessation Of the movement which
has been going since early this season,
and which has added 80 largely to the
amount Of cash in the banks.
The movement from the interior last
year, judging from the increase Of cash
Al 81 10 ctte-
tanned until later I'm the season, and
total amount OF specie and legal tenders.
as late as August amounting TO about
one hundred and eighty-hve millions,
after which there was a rapid decline,
lasting well toward the end Of the year.
The movement from the interior last
year. however, was larger than noted
this season, and the different totals were
also heavier.
Despite the fact that the New York
banks are not lending so much money
as at this time last year, they are getting
better rates for it, and they are not
paying interest on so much idle cash
lying I'm the vaults as was the case
twelve months ago. The rates for funds
appear to be well sustained. and nothing
Indicates a change to less firm basis.
The falling Off in gold exports appears
TO be the result OF legitimate conditions.
Europe bought more American securities
in New York last week than for months
past The averages In the statement for
the five days ending July g. 1895, as COM
pared with the corresponding weeks in
1925 and 1894. are as follows:
