OF the requirement.
The Evening Post SAYS: The bank state
ment today was one of the most remark
able ever put out in New York city. This
Is certainly not surprising, in view of the
thoroughly abnormal situation. The most
important fact disclosed by the returns
however, is an increase in specie and legal
tender holdings for the week of 81 3l6, 900.
The gain goes tar TO adjust the known
conditions and the very deficient showing
OF the gains in cash last week, as reflect
ed in Saturdays bank statement. The in
crease reported in the two bank state
ments OF last Saturday and today is S.
foS.S0o. IT Is very probable that the differ
ence between these sums or part of it, is
attributable to legal tenders taken out to
withdraw gold from the treasury. On the
whole, today's bank statement must be
considered favorable, especially when con-
trasted with last weeks showing. The
stock market so far as it reflected any
judgment, did not seem TO look faVorably
on the statement AT all events, prices
held firm on languid trading until the
bank figures appeared and then declined
Immediately for all important stocks to
the opening or lower. This was perhaps
a partial result Of differences drawn from
the heavy loan contraction. London did
little in this market. and that was chiefly
selling. It's operations gave no clue to the
probable course OF prices at the settlement
next week.

WOULD BE A MISTAKE.
The Railroad System Under Unfriendly
Control.


(From the Silver Advocate.)
We are in receipt of a very beautifully
executed engraving published by the
Sunset Photo-Engraving Company of
this city, and representing bird's-eye
view of California as conceivably seen
from a point a long distance out at sea
to the westward, and at very consid-
cradle altitude. The length and breadth
of the State lies spread upon the sheet
dimensions about six by twelve inches.
The snow-clad Sierras form the back
ground; the Coast Range and interior
valleys are geograp phically displayed,
while running through all are thin red
streaks representing the ramifications
of our great railroad system. A glance
at this map gives a beautifully succ1nct
idea of what this railroad system has
done for this State. The valleys are
gridironed and ramified by these thin
red lines in a most judicious manner.
From the Oregon line on the north to
where the south stretches away into
the dim illimitable distance these rarni-
fications go on. One particular line
the earliest of albums out till II is
lost in the snow-clad mountains to the
east That represents the Central
Pacific, about the legal rights and own
ership of which so much fuss is now be-
ing made by our so-called Eastern
statesmen. Be the rights of the case
as they may, it is about time for our
farmers and fruit growers to begin to
think what the results would be, IN
the matter Of the shipment Of produce,
in case this particular branch OF the
railroad came into the hands of the
Government, or any other hands, which
would be likely to administer it for their
own benefit instead of ours. Is 1t not
supposable that freight rates would go
up to such proportions as would ser1-
ously impede the development of the
great fruit interests Of our southern
valleys? A great transcontinental rail-
road in the hands of Eastern manipu-
lators would not be very liable to be run
in the interests of the Californian fruit
grower. That is the proposition which
ought to be considered, and given due
weight to, before it is too late to remedy
the fatal mistake of robbing Peter to
pay Paul. Such blunders are simply
like jumping out of the frying pan into
the fire The benefits that might result
from changing the ownership of rail-
roads are problematical at best and re-
ally not worth serious considerations
