greater part of the gold received from
Europe during the past seven days would
not be reflected in the statement, owing
to the fact that 1t had been for option
account. The increase in specie, there
fore, was justly regarded as an evidence
that boarding had not played an impor-
tant part in the weeks transactions, or at
least that some of the gold is flowing into
the banks. The decrease of $6,01S,00 in
loans does not, as might appear at first
sight indicate any sharp commercial
transaction. 1t seems to show rather
that the temporary advances to gold i'm
porters are being liquida ted, and that
there has been little If any calls on ordi-
nary borrowers for funds. The banks lost
to the interior and through the treasury
during the week something like $5,0O00OO,
or about as much s was received from
Europe The 81 ,300,0 900 withdrawn on Oc-
tober % for the purpose of obtaining gold
from the treasury does not appear in the
currency statement.
The deposits of the banks, as result
of the weeks operations, decreased about
$5,212, 400, and now stand at $448, ,4S2, 800,
or nearly $2,000,000 less than loans. An
item of some interest is the $10,500 de-
crease in circulation of the national
banks. Since last July circulation of the
banks has expanded steadily, the total in
crease being no less than 5000, 900. This
circulation was natural outgrowth of
the peculiar conditions prevailing, and it
is to be inferred now that the situation is
more normal and that the notes will be
retired as they come back to this center.

The outrageous action of the St.
Louis hotel keepers, in refusing to
accommodate colored delegates, is
conclusive evidence that the fool
killer has not put in his appearance
in st. Louis for some time. When
the National Committee decided to
hold the convention in St. Louis,
they did SO with the distinct under
standing that the doomed city
would make no discrimination in
accommodating the delegates on ac-
count Of color, But regardless of
the agreement, the hotel keepers
insulted the colored members of
the national committ'e whel they
applied for lodging. Evidently the
hotel keepers thought all they had
to do was to refuse one or two col
ored delegates and they would take
to their heels and find accomoda-
ton among thecolored folks, rather
than disturb the peace Of the re-
publican family at such critical
time, and that the rest Of the color
ed delegates would follow their
National Committeeman. But the
scheme did not work. National
committeeman, James Hill, Of Mis-
sissippi, on whom the scheme was
tried, quickly exposed it and de,
manded fair play In this action,
Nj. Hill honored himself and will
ever be held in grateful remem-
brance by the self-respecting ele-
of His race. AS result Of the
stand taken by Mr.. Hill, the re
publican reception committee of
st. Louis, and other leading repub-
licans of national reputation, de-
.Qounced the barboroue scheme and

Pf their colored brethren.
