IN NORTH CAROLINA
Fusion Between the Republicans and Popu-
lists Likely.

lists Likely.
Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 15.-The republi-
can state committee met here this morn
ing, A. e. Holton presiding, and decided
to indorse all the populist state nominees
save w. A. Guthrie for governor and Hal
Aver for auditor. This step is taken to
force fusion, which the popuiists really
favor. Resolutions indorsing Mckinley
were adopted and signed by each member
of the committee, including James HI.
Young, who had bolted for Bryan and
Watson. Members of the committee say
they believe there will be three electoral
tickets and also three tickets for govern
or in the field. A majority of the commit
tee think Senator Butler was fighting
state fusion with the republicans, but
say positively that many populist leaders
and majority of the rank and file favor
it. Republican headquarters were or
dereds esta blished here Immediately with
Patterson and Holton and Hyams in
charge. Democrats are surprised at the
powerful combinati ton thus made against
them. One of the republican objects is
TO split the populist party. Senator
Pritchard says this state will certainly
cast its vote for Mckinley.

UNUSUALLY LOGICAL
Is the Bank Statement for This Week, Says
the FInancier-feature Is the In
crease IN Circulation.

New York, Aug. 15.-The New York
Finanicer this week says:
The total cash holdings of the New
York clearing house banks, according to
the statement of the week ending August
10, 1896, are $126, 600. OF this amount
nine banks alone hold $53,0S5. 300, or over
As per cent. In view of this condition 1t
is not surprising that there is a contin-
ued tendency to call in loans, as some OF
the institutions are below the legal re-
serve, and the demand for funds from
the interior is not diminishing. The ex-
cess reserve of the clearing house banks
Is $9, 9,40O175, or lower than 1t has been for
over two years, but when 1t is recalled
that during the corresponding week
three years ago the banks were $12, 045, 800
under their legal requirements their i'm
measurably superior standing at present
will be better understood.
+ In fact the bank statement the cur
rent week is unusually logical, and shows
the effect of changes that have been go
ing on for over two weeks past. The loss
in cash for the week was $6,858, 100, and
the contraction in loans was $3,119, 400
This makes a total item of $9,977, 800 di-
rectly affecting deposits and as the de-
crease in the latter items was $9770S00
the statement almost exactly balances.
The decrease in loans probably reflects
the liquidation enforced through the ne
cessity of repenishing reserves and the
loss in cash represents the heavy demand
on the banks from the interior, which has
been a factor in the situation for several
weeks past.
A feature of the statement was an in
crease of $826,600 in circula ton. or this
amount the Fourth National bank seems
to have been responsible for $546,2OO ex-
pansion while the remainder is divided
among various banks in smaller amounts.
The decrease In the reserve for the
week owing to operations outlined above
was $4, s, 400. There seems to be no prob
ability that the statment next week will
show results much different from those
of the current week, and the period OF
higher money rates will probably con-
tinue until automatically adjusted either
by an easing of the situation through
domestic measures or the attraction of
foreign money by tempting interest
rates.

of any other candidate; that as testimony
of good faith with the populists their
nominees, with the exception of governor
and auditor, are accepted, and abiding
and untiring support pledged to them;
heartily indorsing the national platform
and action Of the national convention in
selecting Mckinley and Hobart and
pledging them and the platform earnest
support, and declaring the firm belief that
by wise and proper management they will
be given North Cardinals electoral vote.
