New York, Dec. 1.-THE Flnancier
says: The Union Pacific re-organfza-
ton company last week made an addi-
tional payment of $S,500,0 ON accounts
and this sum passing into depository
banks has increased the averages of the
clearing house institutions no less than
100000 in deposits. The increase in
loans ds connected with the Same trans
action, but 1t has swelled the total loan
| item to $607, 725, 300, which is by far the
largest ever carried by the New York
banks The transfer of the Union Pa
| cif1c to the new purchasers may have
resulted lin The expansion of the loan
item of the banks during the past five
weeks. On November 10, last, loans
! stood at $575 900 as compared with
| $607, $4,000 Deee. II. The loan increase,
| therefore, has been over 1872, 600, 900. In
the same time deposits have increased
$42, 900 and cash reserves 81, 900 000
Admitting that the regular mercantile
demand for accommoda ton had had
J some place in the change, the main cause
contributing to THAT enormous increase
has been the operations i'm connection
with the Union Pacific syndicate. The
deposits of the bank most prominent in
| the financing of this deal have grown
| nearly $22,000000 in four weeks and ITS
loans twelve million. The banks have
| been gaining cash for a number of weeks
past, but on account of the reasons Just
set forth have minimzed them. The op-
erations of the past six days have re-
suited in a decrease in the surplus cash
of the banks of SO, $50, 525, bringing the
excess reserve to $18, 1877, APO, the lowest
since October 16, last. That the changes
noted are of a special character is also
shown in the item of cash, the loss for
the week having been 81, APP, 900. This
Shrinkage can be traced ito several large
institutions, one of which has decreased
its cash through the payment of The SUI
gar dividend. There will be more or
less shifting of funds as the first of the
year approaches in anticipation of heavy
dividend payne nts and another payment
of the Union Pacific money is also due
about that time. The effect will be to
make material changes in forthcoming
bank statements but with the supply of
available funds in sight and the credits
held abroad there does not seem to be
much chance for anything like per-
manently higher level for money rates.
The governments payment of maturing
bonds this year viii release great deal
| of money now locked in bank vaults as
deposits.

INTERESTING ITEMS.

There is no drug yet discovered, uD-
less It be alcohol. which distinctly adds
force TO the body when It Is taken. All
the so-called Strengthening" remedies
which enable a man to accomplish
more work when he is under their in
nuence do so not by adding units OF
force 10 his BODY but by utilizing those
units of t1roo which he has already
stored away in reserve. Cocoa, tea
and coffee, while they make work tenn
porarily lighter. do so only by adding
to the units OF force a man ought right
fully to spend those units which
should be preserved. The man who
draws on his reserve fund of strength
is like the banker who overdraws his
reserve capital and comes to the same
end-wreck.

Through the energy of Mr.. Sheldon
Jackson 500 reindeer have been inn
ported from Siberia into the lower Yu-
kon region, and with them several
Lapland families TO care for them. The
focks have already increased to more
than 1000 and the natives are learning
to care for and manage them. An eX-
pertinent is being made of using them
for transportation In the mining coun-
try. Unlike the dog, the reindeer needs
TO have no food transported for him.
After an eighty mile drive he can be
turned loose TO forage for himself upon
the abundant reindeer moss which COW
ers all the Alaskan fields. When It
is necessary to Kill him he furnishes
better meat than the dog and more OF
II, while his skin, and, indeed, every
portion Of his body. are OF superior
value. Commissioner Harris estimates
that Alaska is capable of supporting
many millions OF reindeer. and with
them proportionate number OF keep
ers with their families. The civillza-
tion OF Lapland is therefore In a fair
way to be transplanted in our north
western province and may serve as a
most important connecting link with
the great mining interests OF the upper
Yukon valley. The reindeer express
mp the Yukon will be almost as fleet as.
and far more sure than, the steam cars
could be during the inclemency OF an
Alaskan winter.

region ever known. Driftwood covered
beeches are now twenty to sixty or
seventy feet above the water, new is

appear In a few centuries, adding a vast

Italy is said to have more bigamists
than any other European country. This
is made possible because the church re-

the state does not regard church
marriage as binding. The result Is

wives-one with the sanction Of the
church, the other with tie sanction OF

Butterfly Gown.
A garden party at Long Island country
house one afternoon this week called out
the brightest, ARREST ard most picturesque
flock Of butterfly gowns I have yet seen.
One Of wild rose foulard had the upper
part of the skirt quite narrow and cut in
vandyke edged with rose pink velvet. The
lower half of the skirt was formed by
deep fiounce of white silk gauze embroider-
ed with pink and gold. The foulard bodice
turned over upon the shoulders in deep
round collar and opened in front over white
gauZe laid III fir pleats and strapped with
rose velvet. The jaunty hat of white leg
horn straw was wreathed with roses.
"A second gown, and one highly character
1stfc OF this seasons tastes, had a skirt of
black gauze entirely covered with four
deep f1ounces of the same filmy stuff. Each
founce was cut in deep VandykeS edged
with Falenciennes lace. The waist was of
rose-colored taffeta striped with black and
was worn under a white guipure bolero of
odd and original shape. This was edged
with black velvet and ornamented by black
gauze epaulets. small gauze hat was
worn with trimmings Of roses.
