mic BANK sTATEMENT

THE BANh SIAIEMENI.
The weekly statement of the Associated
Banks shows the following changes:
Reserve, increase. S2,559.j5.
Loans, increase, N062,90o.
Specie, increase, s373.3O.
Legal tenders. increase, s2,9S0.oc0
Deposits, increase, 3, $500.
Circulation, decrease. $4,000.
The banks now hold $20,67S 675 In ex-
cess Of legal requirements.
The Financier says: The statement or
the Associated banks for the week shows
an increase of $25S9.325 in the reserve,
making the amount Of cash In the banks.
I'm excess OF legal requirements. $2O,61S,-
s75 The interior movement OF funds
during the week was heavy. and the
banks gained several millions from this
course alone. There was also a slight
gain through Sub-Treasury operations.
New York exchange commands stifr
premium in large western and southern
cities. and nothing has appeared yet to
indicate a stoppage OF the flow of funds
10 this centre. New England banks, II
NAV be noted, have been smaller borrow
ers In this market than for some time
past
The increased loan item Is a favorable
indication, and follows the reduction In
trade-rates I'm a logical manner. The de-
mand for commercial paper has been
much more active. and the decline in
rates, noted in this paper last week, con-
tinues. The demand, in fact, has ex-
ceeded the supply. and names which. du-
ring the stringency In the market. were
not rated as first-class. although per-
fectly good, have been taken freely OF
late A continuance OF this expressed
confidence in the future will have the
effect OF largely swelling the loan total
during the next month. and IL Is one OF
the most favorable features OF the situa-
ton.
The indications do not point 10 higher
money rates; in fact, the opposite Is 10 be
expected, as foreign loans in this market
are being freely made. IL should be
remembered, also. that the postponement
of gold exports. In the face OF European
buying, means smaller ultimate ship
ments. Every force at work. there
fore, Is In the direction OF continued
easy money market but 1t can be sus-
tanned at almost fixed price by the ma
nipulation OF the Treasury deposits now
In the depository banks. The feeling
Is certainly one OF greater confidence.
The forces et work are showing them
selves In many directions. notably IN
the South where the Industrial boom Is
rapidly advancing securities. The Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company, for ex-
ample, has never been doing a better
business. and the bonds OF several south
ern corporations have been advancing

More than ever is the STAR impressed
with the necessity for a more rigid
system for holding primary elections.
There is something woefully lacking
at the very foundation of our political
structures, our election systems. The
primary elections are the very nearest
to the people, and it is important in
deed that some safeguard he thrown
about the methods by which the peo-
pie give direct expression Of their de-
sires in naming candidates for the
party with which they affiliate. 1t is
the lack of proper safeguards
about the primary election system that
creates so much distrust in parties and
leads to so much fractional contention.
The bars r wide open for unfairness
and prejudices to dominate, and until
our primary election system is more
rigidly guarded by laws we can not
hope for complete satisfaction that the
will of a majority has been honestly
expressed at them.

Chairman Cleveland, of the central

Congressman Gamble made a

Congressman Gamble made a speech
in the house on May 81, against the in
dependent free coinage of silver by
this country, copies of which have just
been received. He makes IL very en-
haustive argument for the present
gold standard, and closes by defining
the issue, as he puts it, "the use of
gold and silver against silver mono-
metallism," as follows:
$40 my mind the agitation of free
and unlimited coinage of silver by this
government alone is harmful in the
highest degree TO the Industrial and
commercial interests of the country;
isdestructive of confidence where capt
tai is looking to new enterprises and
more extended employment. Upon
the issue thus made, | oppose it. am
in favor of existing standards until
changed by inter national agreement.
/ favor earnest aud honest cooperation
to that end, and that this government
should take the initiative. Each dol
lar that bears the stamp of the govern
ment, whether of silver, gold, or paper,
must possess equal purchasing and
debt-paying power. Our national
credit must be maintained at home as
we'll as abroad, and must be kept as
untarnished as our honor. Good faith
demands that every obligation must
be sacredly kept, and paid in the same
currency or its equivalent asthat upon
which the original transaction was
based. I believe the overwhelming
Judgment of the country favors this
course, which, to my mind, is the one
