WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT.
The Immediate Future of the Money Market
Rests Largely on the Continuance
and Amounts of Gold Exports.

New York, May s.-The New York FL
nancier says this week:
The statement of the associated banks
of New York city for the week ending
May is in marked contrast with the one
preceding it. The change is due mainly
to continued exports of gold, which have
drawn from the banks a large amount of
funds which otherwise would have been
counted in thesexcess reserve. The note
worthy expansion in loans, amounting for
the week to $3393, 200, was also an appre-
ciable factor in this connection, and was
one of the most favorable features of the
statement, indicating as 1t does demand
TO agree to the extent of the mercantile
sources. The market for loans during
the week was on steady basis, despite
the gold shipments. and the demand for
commercial paper is without doubt in
creasing, and the business of the banks
has taken on broadening character in
consequence. Another event which has
had a bearing on the situation has been
the payment of several millions into the
sub-treasury by the government deposit
tory banks so that altogether the weeks
operations prevented an accumulation of
interior funds, which are still moving
heavily in this direction, and reduced the
apparent surplus reserve of the preceding
week The present condition of the mar
ket is more norman uudn at tHiS tiIile laSt
year or the preceding year. The surplus
reserve on May IL, 1895, stood at $31, ,000,-
900. and on May 12, 1894, at $S0,O0O,OoO
which shows the changed conditions to
nicely. The immediate future of the New
York money market rests largely on the
continuance of and the amount OF gold
exports, the disposition of the remaining
government funds in national banks and
the extent OF the movement of interior
funds. The apparent growing demand
for loans Is also certain factor.
1t is doubtful whether the statement re-
fleets in full the real changes Of the week.
The reported loss in legal tenders was
81, ,S35, 200, and the increase in deposits
was $11 400. The banks gained In specie
$136, 300, and the excess reserve stands at
$20, 0,243125.

the real one herself. She only knew
that somehow things had changed and
that the change began when Professor
Lyman confronted her with that unex-
pected question about the Shakespeare
essay. Every day the work grew more
absorbing, and every day she grew
more surprised at her love for it, Now
and then she appeared at the Profess
sor's door, with a book in her hand and
query in her face. At such times he
would listen to reading aloud so atten-
lively that she forgot his chronic dis
like of it. She often came away laugh
ing and always left the Professor with
that odd smile in his eyes.
At last, six weeks after vacation,
came one of the evenings to which Sc
nlors look forward with eagerness. A
stranger might have been aware of
some excitement in the atmosphere as
the students flocked to prayers. Skirts
rustled more than usual, and a loud
murmur of voices mingled with the
color and motion of the stream that
poured in at the chapel door The
whole senior class seemed in their hap
piness to anticipate the well DONE

number. The guessing was pretty gem
orally in favor of Leo; yet there was no
one that evening SO free from curiosity
as she herself. not because she did not
value the prize, but because she knew
that she had already won the real re-
ward. 1t had come to her as she sat
writing in her room; as she wandered
through the fields, her thinking-cap
under her tam: as she browsed in
the library among pastures new and
undreamed of. Thoughts of those
hours ran though her mind as she sat
ir her place, her face turned so that she
might see Professor Lymans white head
in its familiar place.
The hum and motion in the chapel
were quickly subdued when the Pres
ident rose. He took up a slip of paper,
and, pausing a moment, said: 81 have
pleasure in announcing that the Shake
speare prize is warded to Miss Leonora
Anne Bartram."
There was a stir in the class. Some
heads involuntarily turned toward Leo.
She looked straight at President John
ston, though she longed to see the Pro-
fessor's face. She tried not to seem
pleased, but the color mounted to her
cheeks.
"I shouldn't mind showing how glad
I am" she thought, eff only they could
understand the real reason. Now they

NIending Gloves.

In mending gloves, cotton, not silk
thread should be used. Silk thread not
only cuts through the kid, but a rent
mended with silk is always noticeable,
whereas the cotton soon becomes rubbed
and takes on the color of the glove. All
kid gloves are sewed with cotton thread
The manufacturers consider the diff
ference in the material and use the
most satisfactory.
Thread in all shades in which gloves
are made is sold especially for mending
gloves A bunch can be bought for a

small silk patch under the torn part and
fix it on with invisible stitches. Then
draw the raw edges up, carefully taking
up as little of the kid as is possible.

| On that part of the line in front of
Atlanta occupied by the Twentieth
Corps the pickets often entered into an
| agreement not to fire for anywhere
| from half an hour to three hours. The
picket lines were SO close together that
Yankee whisper could be heard by the
Johnnies. The show of head or any
part of a body meant shot, and usual
| ly wound or death. When the pickets
became SO weary from sitting in the
cramped picket pits that life was an
almost unbearable burden a truce was
called for. If the call came from the
Confederates it was in this way or a
way very similar to this:
'sYanks. how do you 1fls feel?'

pits give US the cramps"
That's our fix, too. Suppose we stop
the killing for an hour or so while we
stretch our limbs and get rested ?"
Mighty glad to make such con-
tract.
"All right. We will let up ten minutes
from now and give you three minutes
to get back into your pits before the
shooting begins"

The pickets of the Second Massa-

such an arrangement with the men over

along charmingly for more than an
hour, when a young officer appeared on
the Confederate line and ordered the
men to go to firing.

pecially to tell me Of the great good
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla had done
for the family. 'It is" said he, "the
family medicine now, and we propose
always to keep this remedy in the
house" He advised me to visit many
other houses in Portland and 1 would
learn of wonderful things that had been

He said he knew of a case of scrofula
that was completely cured by this great

of lady who had running sores over
the body, and she had been using the
Sarsaparilla for two months to good
effect.
By the way, a remarkable thing in
Portland is that there are no substi-

something "just as good" and of course
when you ask for joys Vegetable
