ONLY VERY FIRM MONEY RATES
ABROAD CAN PREVENT SPECIE
SHIPMENTS.
SITUATION IS INTERESTING.
WEEKS WILL BE EAGERLY
AWAITED.
SURPLUS RESERVES ARE REDUCED
Excess Cash Held by the New York
Banks Only a Little Over Fiji
teen Millions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The Financier
says: A decrease of $3,161,375 in the
surplus reserves Of the New York
banks. following a reduction equally
as large for the previous week, brings
the excess cash in the banks to $15,-
726,O5O, or very nearly to the point
reached at the height of the outward
movement during the crop season. In
view of this fact the sharp advance
in money rates noted early last week
may be expected to continue for some
time, although the upward tendency
has been regarded heretofore as tenn
porary incident. The changes in the
statement for the week are SO intimate
Iy connected with the payment of S.
100000 into the subtreasury by the
Union Pacific committee that the totals
do not require detailed attention. The
National City bank, which has been
prominent in financing this operation,
loses over 100000 in deposits It's
cash reserve has also decreased some
thing like $4,000, 900, and its shrinkage
in loans is more than the total noted
for the average of all the banks. The
other banks, aside from this one insti-
tuition, therefore, appear to have gain
ed both in deposits and cash, and
their loans are slightly higher. The
bank statement for the next few sue
ceeding weeks should be unusually in
teresting and important, as two addi-
tional payments of over $8,000,0 900 are
to be made to the subtreasury before
Jan. 5, and the treasury, on the other
hand, will begin Dec. "a the disburse-
ment of the principal of maturing Pa
cific bonds. which will release, when
the operation is completed, something
like $30,0O0,0O0.
Whether this money, which may be
slow in entering the active market,
and the rather heavy deficiencies which
the government will probably incur
over the January disbursements will
make up for the contractions due to
payments into the treasury on Pacific
settlements, is the key to the immedi-
ate future of the money market. If
interest rates continue to harden and
exchange Weakens, as was the case
last week, some interesting develop
mentS may be expected. There can be
no profit in sterling exchange invest
ments under these circumstances, and
as the treasury reports show an in
creasing export balance in our favor,
rates for money abroad will have to
be maintained very firmly to prevent
losses of specie to this side. Shipments
to the South and the natural shifting
of funds as the January dividends be-
come due are points in favor of con-
tinued hard money OF course these
conditions are as yet but vaguely de-
fined and may be quickly changed, but
on the whole are important enough to
bear in mind during the next few
weeks

neither Edwin w. Winter nor Horace
G. Burt will be the president of the
Union Pacific The man now most
prominently mentioned for the position
is c. S. MelIen, president of the North
ern Pacific. E. W. Winter was slated,
it is said, for the presidency of the
Union Pacific after S. H. H. Clark had
declined to accept the position on ac-
count of ill health Mr.. Winter has
all the qualifications for the position
and for many years has been the trust

Hughitt, of the Chicago & Northwest
ern, who, it is understood, will be
chairman of the board of directors of
the Union Pacific. Mr.. Winter, it is
said, did not feel inclined to take the
position for personal reasons.
Horace G.. Burt's name was then sug-
gested but objection, it is said, was
raised to him on account of his being
now vice president and assistant to
the president of the Chicago 6, North
western. With President Hughitt as
chairman of the directory and Mr.. Burt
as president, the Union Pacific, it was
argued, would be looked upon as an
auxiliary of the Northwestern, and
this was not desired, as the Union Pa
cific gets considerable business from
competitors of the Northwestern.
For these reasons, it is said, Presi-
dent MelIen, of the Northern Pacific,
was named as the most available man
for the presidency of the reorganized
Union Pacific. Under ordinary circum-
stances the report that Mr.. Mellen
would leave the Northern Pacific to
take the presidency of the Union Pa
cific would be looked upon with great
suspicion, but circumstances are such
that the report is believed to have
good foundation. Mr.. Mellen has been
with the Northern Pacific only a few
months, and his management of the
property has thus far come up to the
most sanguine expectations of his
friends. But there is friction, it is
said, between his friends and the
friends of Vice President Lamont Mr.
Lamont was originally slated for the
presidency. But j. p. Morgan, the head
of the Northern Pacific syndicate, did
not think Mr.. Lamont had the requi-
site experience. compromise was ef-
fected, and c. S. Mellen was chosen
president and Mr.. Lamont vice presi-
dent.
Rumors have lately been current that
Mr. Lamont would soon succeed Mr.
Mellen as president of the Northern
Pacific, and thus strength is given to
those reports that Mr.. Mellen had prac-
tically been agreed upon as the most
suitable man for the presidency of the
Union Pacific Mr. Mellen is probably
better qualified for the presidency of
the Union Pacific and knows more
about its affairs than any other man
except S. II. H. Clark. From June 1,
1884, until June /, 1888, he was general
purchasing agent of the road. He then
became it's assistant general manager,
and from March 1, 1889, to April, 1892,
he was general traffic manager
