FINANCIAL CONDITION.
Everything Seems TO Favor an Early Re
sumption Of Gold Exports.

New York. March 8.-The New York
Financier says this week:
The statement OF the associated banks
Of New York city for the week ending
March . Is in marked contrast with
those made since the award Of the gov
ernment bonds. the loan item decreasing
for the first time in several weeks. The
loans. however, are stlll nearly 81. ZOO, 900
in excess Of the low record Of February
5 last.
1t is somewhat difficult TO trace the
cause Of the falling on last week, except
on the theory that stock exchange busi-
ness was very dull and some banks.
whose reserves have fallen too low. are
calling in their loans. when It is stated
that twelve banks hold t50,000Oo0 OF the
cash reported by the Philadelphia clear
ing house. and half the former number
hold two-thirds Of the surplus ressrve.
some idea OF the distribution Of cash may
be obtained. II Is this fact that has
forced a number Of banks out Of the
loan market entirely. Banks ara still
losing cash. according 10 reports The
statement reflects. perhaps, the final pay
msnts made last week into the sub-treas-
ury by the government depository banks.
The movement OF money Is now toward
New York, and everything SEEMS 10 favor
an early resumption Of gold exports.
The money market Is in a way more
normal than for long time past, and
exports Of gold VIII not attract as much
attention as they did last winter.

Putney. England, March 4.-The OK
ford crew. to the surprise Of almost "
erybody. won the ffty-thlrd boat race
between the universities OF oxford and
Cambridge by about one-thlrd Of length
after a most exciting finish. Thus OK
ford has won thirty races OF the series,
to twenty-five won by Cambridge. the
dead heat Of 1871 making up the total
number. This Is the seventh year IN
succession that oxford has defeated
Cambridge. The time was OO1. The
course was the usual one. from Putney
to the winning post. a distance Of about
four and one-quarter miles.
Cambridge was a hot favorite. at six
10 four and free takers. Cambridge en-
barked FIRST. won the toss and choss
the Surrey side OF the river. a decided
advantage, as half a gale was blowing
from shore or about southwest, raising
lumpy water everywhere. and quite a
little sea at bad places.
Both boats got away sharply. Cam
bridge pulling pretty thirty-six. to Ok
ford's slightly more powerful sweep OF
thirty four. There was little to choose
between them until Claspr's boathouse
as reached when the Cambridge boats
nose showed slightly in front At the
half mile oxford drew up. and showed
ahead at Falden's. At this there was
great cheering. for II was apparent that
a splendid race was TO be rowed. But

powerful. clean, telling stroke. regained
the lead near Crabtree wharf, nearing

Tapped up to and passed the Cambridge
craft at the soap works. After passing
the soap works. Oxford kept UP the pace
and lead by nearly a length at one time.
Fernle called upon the light blues for a
spurt, and they responded with such vim
that the Cambridge boat shot under
Hamersmith bridge a short length ahead
OF Oxford. and. according to tradition
should have on the race. Cambridge at
Thorncllff had a lead OF about three
quarters OF a length. and both crews
were bending down to their work in the
grandest manner possible. From thers
TO the three-mile post Cambridge sue
ceeded in holding a slight lead and shot
under the bridge ahead Of Oxford
Cambridge winsi" rang from Barnes
to Putney This, however, was without
reckoning upon the reserve force OF the

likely to be able TO hold the lead across
the finish line, but this was not to b..

eral Baldissera, the italian commander

collected all the information obtainable
regarding Baker county's gold output for

the gold shipped through the express
companies, the postofiice and the returns
made from the Tacoma and Everett
smelters TO the Eureka and Excelsior
