HEAVY DRAIN ON THE BANKS
Those of New York Show a Loss of Nearly
$6,500,000 Within Seven Days-The
Counteracting Feature.

New York, June 20.-The New York
Financier says this week:
The statement of the associated banks
of New York city for the week ending
June 20 shows the effect of two financial
operations, one the repayment earlier in
the week of about $4,200,0O0 government
money by the depository banks on final
bond account and the other $2,000,000 of
gold exports of one week ago, which were
not included in the previous statement.
The few hundred thousand dollars with
drawn several days ago for export were
also included in the statement for the
current week.
The banks therefore lost directly some
thing like $8,500000 within seven days,
and against this the interior movement
was the only counteracting feature The
decrease of $1,133,700 in cash reported for
the past week Is an indication of the ex-
tent of the present interior movement.
The decrease of $758, 800 in the idle re-
serve in vaults is very moderate in view
of the heavy changes of the past week.
The expansion of loans for the week was
$505,300 but the demand for money, in
view of larger stock exchange transac-
tions, has been moderately firmer and
rates have responded by slight ad-
vance.
The weakness in foreign exchange not
ed after Monday probably had it's origin
In the same cause. The decrease of de-
posits for the week WAS 81, ,499, 800. The
item of loans is now $474, ,7S3, ,6O0 as COM
pared with $512,906 900 for the correspond
ing week last year. During twelve weeks
of 1895, beginning with April 8, the loans
of the New York banks increased in
round numbers $32,500, 900. The increase
during the same period this year has
been only $9,00O,0OO, but while deposits
increased in the same period last year
nearly $74000,000 the increase for the
corresponding term of 1896 has been but
| $12,000,O00. The greater part of the enor-
nous volume of money that flowed into
New York last year at this time helped
to maintain heavy excess reserve and
kept money rates at low ebb, despite
the fact that the. loan item exceeded all
previous records. This year the money,
owing to bond operations, is going into
the treasury, and as, gold exports are
not artifcially stopped large part has
been released for export purposes.
The averages in the statement for the
week ending June 20, 1896, as compared
with the corresponding weeks In 1895 and

(From our Regular Correspond ent.)

It will not be the fault Of the

and the committee on Rules is now
engaged in mapping out q pro.

that the Bankruptcy bill, the bill
for the codification of pension laws,

ton cases as can be reported will
be disposed of before adjournment.
1t is doubtful whether any other
measure of national importance

to its readers regarding our South

"Come South! Here the land Is

The gains of short summer are

There is more time for work and
more opportunity for recreation.
Land is cheap, and none is more

only cotton, or tobacco, or oranges,
or watermelons. No spot on the
earth's surf ace gives the tiller OF
the soil a wider choice of what his
labor shall prodece.
"The South is raising more wheat

are as genial as the ell
mate.
The following is from the Farm
News, Springfield, Ohio: tN3I
"The editor of the Far.n News
has Just returned from trip to the
South, during which we took every
pains to get at the exact truth,
with a view of telling our readers
our conclusions, whatever they
might be. 1t was not our first trip
to this section of the country, for
we have been there and stayed for
months at u time, but that was
more than fifteen years ago, and to
say that we were surprised at the
change is to express our sentiments
in very mild manner. We be-
long to a generation which has but
little to do with the traditions Of
the fathers, and the old feeling
that stood a barrier between the
North and South has no place in
our heart. We find it the same In
the South. There has grown up n
generation of young men and
young women who are free from
prejudice, and ready to welcome
with warm greeting the stranger
and wayfarer who stops with them.
Not only are the people generously
inclined, and as cordial as possible
to those who come from the North,
but the climate is as genial as the
inhabitants OF this country.
"There are possibilities for farm.
ers in the South that. can never
exist in the North. Lands are
cheap, easily cultivated and fer
tile. Railroads are accessible in
every part of the South, almost
and enterprise will build them as
needed where they are not now to
be found.
"TEe man who goes there to
grow fruits has advantages that
the fruit-grower in no other section
can have. He ships his fruit to the
best market by almost direct lines
of transportation at express speed
Fruits ripen before those of any
other part of TIE country do, and
this secures the highest price for it.
Grapes sold last year for IS cents
per ten-pound baskets, and peaches
at Il marvellous price. Land can
be bought from S. per acre up, and
! the man who goes there to farm
can begin in January by selling
his products in May in sufficient
quantities to pay all his living ex.
penses. We shall have more tC
say concerning this country in
future numbers. To show what
our own opinion is, we need only
to say that we expect to make il
our home in future. We have q
great affection for Ohio; it is q
grand old state, but in the way Of
material advantages for him who
tills the soil it is not AS good aplace
as the South"

the ether candidates. There Is
reason to. believe That Speaker
Reed has personally called down
several OF his prominent supporters
whom he thought were talking too
much, by advising them to do more
hustling and less talking.
II took the House just three
hours, the greater portion Of that
time beil z taken up with speeches
In favor of the bill, to pass the forth
hcation bill, carrying appropria-
tions Of $11, 100000 for the erection
and strengthening Uf needed forti-
fcatiOns. Even the democrats ad-
NIT that in view of the cockey at
titude of the United Safes, which
has been go generally endorsed by
public sentiment, we must make
some preparation as TIE surest way
of remaining at peace with the
world. The nation that Is thor
oughly prepared to defend itself is
very seldom attacked.
1t seems difficult TO believe that
any man of even ordinary common
sense would endorse the scheme
which is heralded AZ the one upon
which the democratic party hopes
to elect a President this year, but
such men as Senator Harris, of
Tenn, and ex-Speaker Crisp, of
Ga, have been publicly spoken of
rs endorsing it and no denials have
been made. So it is presumed that
they and the other democrats
mentioned in the same connection
do endorse the scheme, which is
several points worse than its very
worst democratic predecessor. Ac-
cording 10 the scheme, the demo-
Gratis are to keep up their presen:
fight among themselves over silver,
and the majority of the Chicago
convention Is to decide whether a
gold or silver candidate and plat
form shall be set up. Whichever
way the convention goes the mi
nority is to bolt and put out ticket
and platform in accordance with
its views. Then there will be two
democratic national tickets in the
field, one for silver and one for
gold, and just here the fine work of
the scheme is to begin. Only one
set Of democratic Presidential
electors are to be run in each state,
the silver ticket to have clear
field il those states in which the
silver sentiment is believed to be
dominant and the gold ticket in
those states where majority are
likely to be for gold. The origina-
] tors of this scheme have such a
poor opinion of the intelligence OF
the voters that they believe, or say
they do, that enough states can be
craried by the two democratic tick
cts combined to make majority
in the electoral college, and they
propose that they shall all be cast
for the ticket which has majority
of them. Now isn't that a scheme
worthy of the party which has stood
about every imaginable side Of
every public question, and which
has invariably adopted national
platform that could be interpreted
to represent the views of voters
radically opp sed to each other
Playing the voters for fools is q
: very old democratic game-noth.
