The New York Financier says TINS
week:
The cash reserve for the New York
Clearing House banks for the week end
,n~ August 1st was S13s $50. 100; one week
previous il was Slil S3a. 100. and two
weeks previous S14S.270So0. The banks
therefore. have lost since July lsth 81
2Ss. 200 cash. In the same length OF tline
their loans have decreased ten million
dollars. and deposits have fallen OF
S2OgT7. 100 This will serve 10 show the
effect OF the heavy changes which have
been reported since the middle of July.
The current statement ought not 10
be interpreted. however. I'm its continued
heavy decreases. and especially in de-
posits as reflective causes which are IN
cident 10 a panic or a season Of gloomy
uncertainty Loans contracted S4,104.-
600 which Of itself is not favorable
feature and total deposits have fallen
off 1924. 600. A discrepancy of between
three and four millions thus appears for
which legislation is afforded. But on
the other hand II is known that Withdraw
ais Of deposits for payments into the
treasury as Is usually the case Mt the
end Of month like July. have been
heavy. and part Of the discrepancy at
least. is thus accounted for Estimat-
ing Withdrawals for these purposes at
s.. coo 900. it will be seen that the con-
traction in loans and the amount named
make a total which almost equals the loss
Of deposits.
The decrease in specie was S9.997, 600.
due To payments of gold into the treasury
and this is offset by gain of S7.l19,ooO
in legal tenders. The difference IN
amounts may seem strange. since the
exchange of gold for legal tenders was
an even transaction. but this is due 10
the operations which have been described
IN explaining the loss of deposits. The
interior movement did not net the banks
more than a million and a half, at the
very Outside-in fact, the actual amount
must have been less, but accepting the
larger figures rs a basis Of calculation.
and adding II into the total gain of
legals. IL will be seen that the net gain.
after deducting the losses. would not
vary much from the published heuies
IN the statement AS a result Of the
weeks operations. the reserve decreases

A DIHSTRO Y SINl!!IB|SSTIRG Lbs

A raiz de los sucesos de Filipinas, los
frailes trataron de formar alrededor del
general Blanco una atmosfera POGO gra-
ia, presentandole los ojos de la ma
ci6n como un gobernante descuidado e
inepto.
En- alguien habfa que descargar las
gravfsimas responsabilidades que apa-
rejaba consigo ell inopinado movimien-
to del archipelago, y en- esta OCCASION
ell general Blanco fue la cabeZa de turco
destinada recibir los duros golpes de
la gente frailuna, que cuando dice pc
gar, pega de frme, sin tener para NADIA
en- cuenta los generosos preceptos della
doctrina evangelical.
Dfiose que las debilidades y la
impericia del general debfanse, en- pri-
mer terminO, POGO menos, los traba-
jos preliminares de la revuelta, y la
prensa reaccionaria, sugestlonada por las
ordenes monasticas, pidlo, en- la lorna
acre que acostumbra, ell releyo del ilustre
caudillo. Entre nosotros todos los ge-
nerales son ilustres son caudillos.)
Ell Gobierno Sc mostro disgustado
mas 10 que parece su criterio, que es
azas tornadizo, ha variado del todo, Y
"
muestra xsumamente satisfecho> del ge-
neral Blanco MEGA que piense en- sus-
tituirlo.
ST mereciendo, como merece, la con-
fianza del gabinete actual, es tan afor-
tunado que logra paciicar en- absolute
aquel archipelago, muy NAL parados
han de quedar los frailes despues de sus
tremendas acusaciones.
Probable es que de esta suerte,
su irritante predominio
reciba un goIpe de muerte,
Y acabe en- ell exterminio.
Cast es un hecho probado que las CO.
religiosas, con su insaciable
ansia de poderfo, han sido la causa prl-
mortlial de la insurreccion flipina.
Tanto quisieron tirar de la cuerda
xpro domo sua> que esta no pudo me-
nos de saltar en- pedazos.

en- fin, menos NAL este. ST ell seflor

formas, hace bien en- no pedirlas -. Y
81 cree que Sc necesitan mas tropas, tie
ne ell deber de pedir tropas. -.
Para 10 que no tiene derecho ell senior

Gomez no Sc ha conseguido mas que
una cosa: que Sc alarme ell mercado ex-
traniero, Sc hagan diffciles las relacio-

al senior Garcia Gomez. ST este dipu
tado fuese uno de los que Ell Madrid

despues de haber peleado por la patria,
tan menesterosos que tienen que negociar
por un pedazo de pan sus abonares, ex-
plicarfase que ell senor Garcia Gomez
viese conspiraciones eR todas parties,
porque de la conspiracion mace la guerra,
de la guerra ell soldado famelico, y del
soldado famelico ell gordo usurero que
lie roba ell abonares ). Pero 20 no Sc
que el senor Garcia Gomez ejerza de

En- cambio Sc que ell senior Garcia Go

to-Rico. Los peninsulares que lie hayan
votado no volveran votar I'm senior
que quiere arruinarles entorpeciendo los
negocios de PuertO-Rico con ell extran-
jero tambi6n con la Peninsula.
Y en- cuanto a los puerto-riquenos que
