THE GEORGE VOTE
EpeculatiOn Takes the Place of
Discussion in the New York
Contest.
Not Believed That Henry George,
Jr.. Can Hold the Vote of His
Father.
General Opinion Appears to Give
E, Van Wyck the Major
/, Portion.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-Speculation as
to who of the mayoralty Candidates will
fall heir to the votes that would have
gone to Henry George had he not died,
is superseding discussion Of the issues
Of the Greater New York municipal
campaign. Comparatively few regard
it as likely that the younger George can
poll more than fraction Of the votes
that would have gone to his father, the
general opinion being that the selection
Of the son to carry the banner let fall
from the fathers dying hands, while
appropriate and touching in the abstract,
is uniting in the probabilities of
politics. So far as the public is aware,
young George does not represent many

tory movement, is one which enters
very largely into the canvass.
There is disposition in both Repub.
ican and Democratic camps to dispute
the claim put forward by Mr.. Low that
George, had he clearly foreseen his
demise, would have advised his follow
ers to go into the battle on Tuesday
next under the colors of the Citizens
Union. There is also much said
about the alleged improperly in
Mr.. Low putting forth what his op
ponents term bid for the George vote
while the corpse Of the dead leader was
yet uncoffined. These criticisms are
expected to have much effect with the
enthusiastic adherentts of Mr.. George
whose following, it has been argued
was largely personal. Whatever force
there may be in all this, it is the fac
that in the betting Van Wyck hal

ASSOCIATED BANK STATEMENT.
Remarks of The New York "Finan-
cier" Thereon.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The New York
Financier says this week: Since March
goth the loans Of the New York Clearing
House banks have fallen off $685., 600
In the same time deposits have decreased
s., 10000, and the excess reserve has fallen
over half a million dollars. The steady
liquidation in loans, which has been a
feature of the statement for several
weeks past, appears rather strange, in
view OF the demand for money needed
TO pay customs duties, and for purely
mercantile purposes. The decrease Of
81, 1850 in loans reported for the week
just ended may be explained on the
ground that the operations during the
first few days were Of nature TO en-
courage heavy liquidation, but the state
ment evidently does not show the actual
conditions of banks at the close Of busi-
ness, April Sd. The customs payments
have been confusing factor in this par
ticular. During the past six days, for
example, the banks must have lost some
thing like 100000 TO the Treasury on
customs account. They lost at least this
amount two weeks ago. and the result
was shown at once I'm an actual decrease
in cash holdings Now. however. with
the same heavy disbursements, the loss
In cash for the week is only 81 $3.50. As
the net interior receipts during the same
period were probably less than three
quarters Of million dollars, there is
discrepancy for which it is difficult to
account
The reduction in deposits is 81 500,
and in excess reserve 81. 229,175. These
figures will be changed considerably
within the next few days, as a result OF
the heavy dividend disbursements. the
greater part Of which came too late In
the current week 10 affect the state
ment.
Domestic exchange at interior centres
has shown a marked tendency TO adj
vance. of late and reports show a
broadening tendency in the money
market. The flurE in Boston, which
sent call money to per cent, was an
incident between banks alone, but Phila-
dephia and other cities are beginning 10
feel the first effects of better feeling
in an Increased demand on the banks
The uncertainty over the tariff bill Is re-
tarding industry to some extent, but
aside from this feature. the situation
from a banking standpoint, might be
great deal worse than II is.
