SOUTHERN BANKS SOUND.
So Says Comptroller EcIxels in a
Signed Statement.

Signed Statement.
ATLANTA, Jan. 2.-The Journal to-
Cay prints the following signed state
ment from Comptroller Of the Currency
f.ckels.
The bank failures which have oc-
CURED have been entirely due to local
conditions, and, in almost every in
stance, to defects peculiar to the inst;-
tutions affected. This is strikingly so
III the case of the national bank at
Roanoke, Va, and as much so III the
failure of the bank in Texas. The
same may be said of all the national
banks failing since Nov. 1, and I i'm
agine the same thing will hold good
in the state and private banking houses
which have ceased to do business
The banking institutions Of the South
made, with here and there an excep-
ton, remarkably good showing dur
ing the panic of 1893, and the financial
distress then was general, and acute
No such condition now exists nor will
occur upon the one hand, while on the
other during the years since then,
liquidation has gone on, bad paper has
been Weeded out, and the banks are
stronger in cash means. There is no

HAS HAD THE EFFECT Or LOWER
ING MONEY RATES IN NEW
YORK.
VERY FAVORABLE SHOWING.
REFLECTED IN THE INCREASE
IN DEPOSITS.
A HEAVY EXPANSION IN I9ANs
Total Twenty-Five Millions Greater
Than for the Same Date of
Last Year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Financier
says: The first bank statement Of the
new year is of a very favorable char
acter, although it covers but five bust
ness days, and the increase probably
represents arrangements to meet the
large dividend disbursements which
will be made this week, and which ag-
gregate in New York, inclusive of gov
eminent payments, nearly 500, 900, 900
for the month. The actual gain report
ed by the banks for the week was
only $4,000, which is very much less
than for any week since election. The
Increase in deposits reflects, in part
the movement from the interior which
Is setting in toward this section again
despite the bank failures in the West,
but the increase is also connected with
dividend disbursements. The absorp-
tion of this money is plainly shown
in the loan expansion, the total loan
item standing at $491 81, 900, which is
$25 795, coo higher than reported one year
ago this week. The deposit expansion
in the same time has been $39, III 900,
and the cash reserve is also s13 500, geo
higher. so that the banks began the
new year in much better shape than
they did in 1896.
The plethora of money has had the
effect of lowering money rates and the
present quotations. of ia and 2 per
cent on call money compare with t
ard per cent rate during January,
1896. Commercial paper quotations
have dropped to 4 and per cent as
compared with and 8 per cent for
January, 1896. But the money market
enc year ago was in far different shape
than at present, as trade balances since
that time have resulted IN piling up a
large credit balance in our favor, which
has relieved the market from an alb

not, at least by land, against Russia tc

Constantinople without great difficulty.
When the question of forcing the Oar

thorities estimated that of the 10 ships
lying at Salonika must be sacrificed
to do it. The cards have been stacked
for Russia. It looks today as il the nj.

by Russia were foregone conclusion.
What has England to say? The mat.
ter concerns her. It seemed for tim,
that the discovery Of the route by the
cape Of Good Hope would provide an
evasion Of the eastern question and fre.
her from the necessity Of worrying about
the Egean. But the opening Of the

The Factor of Personality.

Personal influenced Yes, how that
survives and defies all attempts to rem
der it Ineffective! Men who disbelieve
in it and set up socialist or communist
ideas, denying to any individual any
priority or advantage over his fellows,
see with astonishment and mortifica-
tion that the hated thing enters into
their most secret circles and sways all
their action. 1t was supposed that it
was only in the unenlightened ages Of
the world that any one man could have
any personal command in great affairs.
With contempt it was pronounced that
the heroes of antiquity or the great cap
tains Of bygone centuries must have
had an inferior crew to deal with when
so paramount a position was given to
any individual. Englishmen in more
recent times thought that it was only
Frenchmen who could let "Bony' ride

ty, equality and fraternity" had but
just been inscribed over the doors Of ev-

'adays surely, it was argued, when In
telligence, culture and education are 80
generally diffused, none could arrogate
to himself any large share Of the ad-
miration and worship of fellow country

Is this so? Do we not rather see that
