New z @fk, April 25.-The Financ.er
says u II week
The sSttement of the assoc 'ated banks
of New York city for the week ending
April % shows an increase of $2,539, 1926
in the reserve, making the amount of
cash in banks In excess of legal require
ments $2O,67S,675. The interior move
ment of funds during the week was
heavy, and the banks gained several mill
lions from this source alone. There was
also slight gain through sub-treasury
operations. New York exchange COM
mands a stiff premium in large western
and southern cities, and nothing has ap-
peared yet to indicate a stoppage of the
flow of funds to this center New
England banks, it may be noted have
been smaller borrowers in this market
than Tor some time past. The increase In
the loan item is a favorable indication,
and follows the reduction in interest rates
in logical manner The demand for
commercial paper has been much more
active, and the decline noted In this pa
per last week continues. The demand in
fact, has exceeded the supply, and names,
which, during the stiingency in the mar
ket were not counted first-class al
though perfectly good, have been taken
freely of late. A continuance of this ex-
pressed confidence in the future will have
the effect of largely swelling the loan to-
tai during the next month, and Ii is one
of the most favorable features of the sit
uation. The indications do not point to
higher money rates. In fact, the oppo-
site is to be expected, as foreign loans
in this market are being freely made
1t should be remembered also that the
postponement of gold exports in the face
of European buying means smaller ulti-
mate shipments. Every force at work.
therefore. is in the direction of contin-
ued easy money market. but 1t can be
sustained almost at a fixed price by the
manipulation of the treasury deposits
now in the depository banks. The feel
Ing Is certainly one of greater confidence.
The forces at work are showing them
selves in many directions, notably in the
south, where the industrial boom IL rap
idly advancing securities. The Tennes-
see Coal and Iron company for example,
has never been doing a better business,
and the bonds of several southern cor
porations have been advancing rapidly,
those of the Elyton company in particu-
lar having made a gain of fifteen points
in few weeks, solely on account of i'm
proved prospects.

In a furore OF excitement. War has been

yesterday Is only an incident in q feud
which is not expected to end until more
blood is sned. A price has been placed
upon tho head of two OF the most inhu-
ential merchants in the district. Their
entire families have been placed under
ban, and the hatcnet men have been
promised heavy rewards TO accomplish
their terrible work. The Chinese consul
has been fit TO espouse the cause of one
of the factions. The memb bers of the
kung Chow Asylum and of the Chinese
Merchants Exchange have taken antag-
onistic positions in the quarrel. The
Chinese police have announced their in
tention TO allow the fighting factions to
settle their affairs without Interference,
and q feeling of almost unparalleled
dread pervadcs the quarter. Men much
more important than Lee III will be
dead, IL is believed, before the fight Is
over. The See Yup Company succeeded
In absorbing much Of the local Chinese
trade OF the Sam Yup Company. The
Sam Yups seem determined to destroy
the See Yups II possible by breeding dis
sentions and by paying some OF the
leaders to be traitors.

A MUCH MARRIED MAN.
Pilkington Arrested for Bigamy on
Charge Of Wife No. 1.
He Was Living With Wife No. ; When
Hand Of Law Was Laid ON Him.

The mills at River Point are running
on short time, but the residents OF the
village have plenty to take up their
spare time. and are not by any means
suffering from ennui Monday morning
the village was excited by the running
down of the little Carr girl by reckless
picyclist and the excitement had scarcely
subsidized when 1t was treated 10 q first
class sensation, which will keep the
tongues OF the gossips waging for some
time to come.
About two years ago an Englishman
named Peter Pilkington came tn the viii
lage and secured work as loomfxer in
the Valley Queen Mill. Although not
an Adonis by any means, he soon in
grstiated himself in the good graces OF
long became well known In the village.
A iter time he began 10 pay marked
attention to one of the female weavers
employed with him at the mill and,
finally one day when the mills were
stopped they walked TO Apponaug and
were married. They commenced house
keeping at once, but the course OF
domestic bliss aid not run as smooth as
desired, on account of the attentions
paid by Pilkington to other women, and
fnally his wife left him. After a time,
however, reconciliation was effected,
and housekeeping again commenced at
the lower village. Last week the Pix
ingtons spent several days in camp at
the shore, and little suspected the sur
prise In store for them on their return
home. Last Saturday a woman made her
appearance In the village, and after max
ing numerous inquiries In regard to Pill
kington, called on Deputy Sheriff Lynch.
The tiikingtons arrived home from the
shore Sun1ay night and Peter resumed
bis work in the mill while his vile went
about her household duties bllssiully un-
conscious that she was not the only Mrs
Pilkington. Peter ate his dinner in the
place and was probably dreaming OF
other good times at the shore. when
officer Lynch made his appearance ana
placed him under arrest on the charge OF
bIgamy. he stranger who had been 40
interested in the family turned out to be
also Mrs. Pilkington, and now she is
designated as No. 1. She was welded
to the gay Peter in England, and after a
time he deserted her and came to this
country. The original Mrs. Pilkington
was not the kind OF a woman to be
thrown over In this manner, and ever
since she has been quietly but persist
emily following up her recresnt spouse.
AT last she located him and his arrest
followed. IL IL also reported that there
Is a Mrs. Pilkington No. 2 at New Bedford
as well as the No. 3 Mt River Point, and
now the two who are at present In the
village are wondering IL there arc others
yet.
