WHEAT ADVANCES.

Chicago. December 5.-The news from
Liverpool gave a strong tone to the
opening of the wheat market. That
market paid but slight attention to the
three cent decline which occurred here
yesterday. Spot wheat was marked
down IL per Genital but prices of fu-
lures were quoted as unchanged The
Argentine news was evidently behind
the indifference to the Chicago decline.
Private cables reported further damage
to the crops Of that country by the
heavy rains and that there was no rea-
son to doubt that the next crop in Ar
gentine will be no better than that of
of the season now ending. The conse-
quence was that May, which closed Fri
day at SOls9S1, found buyers at the
opening from Slh TO 50, and after the
reaction to SIS advanced one cent per
bushel to SIX cents, reaching the latter
point about an hour from the end of
the days short session. May Closed at

THE new YORK
BANKS RECORD

DEPOSITS INCREASE RAPIDLY
United States Can Now Loan Money 10

New York, December 5.-The New

last, Of ;s5,60s. .4Oo In other words
the gain has been at the rate Of si5, ,s0o,-
900 per week since the Monday following
election. This record. It is unnecessary
to say, has never been surpassed in
the history Of New York banks. There
Is seemingly no cessation in the growth
Of the deposit item. Il rejects, In part.
the flow Of money from the interior.
but large percentage doubtless comes
from the deposit Of boarded funds In
saving banks Then, too. there have
been number OF financial operations
Of large magnitude which must be TAX
en- into consideration and the treasury
has been losing money to the banks.
The loan feature is not less marked.
The expansion for the week brings the
total loans from $40, ,17s.7O0. reported
November ]. to A72.3s1.s 50 for the week
Just ended, a gain OF nearly $50, 900. 900.
II has required less than six weeks To
change the market from panic basis
to one where the United States can loan
money to the oldest and firmest finan-
cial centers. This is one OF the most
noteworthy incidents that has occurred
in American banking. Other features
OF the current statement are about as
had been expected. The decrease in
specie represents operations with the
treasury. and is interesting as being the
first loss in gold which the banks have
reported since the last OF August, when
the gold imports began.

Bryan Prints His Views Of the Late
Campaign.

Lincoln, December 5.---A representa-
tive Of the Associated Press. learned
that the title Of Mr.. Bryan's book is TO
be The First Battle" In the preface
he states his reasons for writing the
work In the following words:
The campaign Of 1896 was a remark
able one, whether We measure It by the
magnitude OF the issue involved, or by
the depth Of interest aroused. I have
been led to undertake the present work
by the desire felt for myself and ex-
pressed By others, to have the more inn
portant events Of the campaign put IN
permanent form for the convenience Of
the people who have taken part in the
contest, and for the use OF those who
shall have hereafter desire to review
the struggle. The amount Of WORK
done by the advocates Of free coinage
Is beyond computation and the num-
Der OF those who took an active part
In the contest is too great for enumera-
tion. These facts. together with the
difficulty in choosing between so many
meritorious speeches. have compelled
me to limit the quotations to addresses
made and papers issued by persons
standing In an Official. or semi-officiaI.
capacity, and to the principal speeches
delivered by myself. have added a brief
history Of the campaign. including a
discussion Of the election returns and
the significance thereof. 1t has also
been thought best to narrate the part
taken by me in the silver agitation
prior to the convention and at the re-
quest Of the publishers I have included
a biographical sketch written by Mrs.
Bryan"
