NEW YORK, Dec A.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease, 81, ,2O2. 900; loans,
increase. $3.s2z0o0; specie, increase, $685.,

crease. $226
The banks now hold $11, ,523, $50 in excess
Of the requirements of the 25 per cent rule.
The Financier says: The statement of the
New York clearing house banks for the five
days ending Dec. oath is seemingly con-
Trajectory in its results, although an ex-
animation of the reports of the Individual
banks proves that the operations
which brought the hcanges are en-
tirely logical SO far as the totals are con-
cerned. The increase of 50, ,927 900 in loans
with q decrease of $75S, 800 in deposits in
stead of the increase which usually attends
loan expansion, was confusing factor,
but on the other hand there was decrease
of "A, $4,000 In cash. The inference is that
the money loaned has gone out Of bank,
and this Is borne out by the report of the
National City bank, which has made the
largest fluctuations in Its averages 1t has
expanded its loans no less than $3, SOC, 900,
or an amount nearly as large as the total
increase for all the banks. and has de-
creased its reserve In the same amount,
while its deposits show scarcely any va
ration from the previous week. This bank
is so prominently identified with the
Union Pacific reorganization settlements
that the statement thus becomes almost
self-explanatory. The result of the weeks

cent requirement. This is the smallest re-
serve reported since October. 1885, when
call money was quoted at from to per
cent. But the present outlook does not in
dicate any such stringency The reduction
Is due entirely to payments into the SUBJ
treasury on Union Pacific account, and as
the government is now beginning to dis
burse the larger amounts to meet the prin-
cipal Of maturing bonds, the effect will be
to offset the stringency that otherwise
might occur. Many of these checks will

The Last Hail Century's Experience.
For half century this country has
attempted, by fits and starts, to pro-
tect its ships in the foreign trade by
the English system of subsidies
What has been the result2 Whenever
we seriously begin that system Eng
land doubles the subsidies paid to her
ships competing with ours. If that
is not sufficient to enable them to
beat us, then she increases their sub
sides still more. In little while, il
has been found, the American people
get tired Of this kind Of warfare, they
look more and more fixedly at the
outgoing money from the national
Treasury, iorgetful of the benefits the
nation derives from owning its own
ships, keeping their earnings in our
own country and giving employment
to our own people in all parts OF the
country. The next thing is the re-
peal of this subsidy; then we see the
ships that have depended upon the
subsidy laid up, their owners ruined
building stops; foreign shipowners
come in and gobble up the freight,
fortified aud intrenched by their own
Government aid, and Americans are
driven out OF the business. That has
been our experience during the last
half of the present century. -[Econo-

himself, so he took in a partner and
divided up the spoils. Now if Jones
had farm he could run it In the

the correct style OF the firm would be

"you see all sorts of men on horseback.
It is q common thing to see tT7ackmen
riding, mounted on one horse and ii
may be leading another, going to the
harness makers, perhaps, or the horse
shoer's; riding without saddle, and
very likely without blanket, but with
o seat that many a more deliberately pro
vided horseman might envy.
"You see occasionally fireman on
horseback, taking horse to the horse
shoer's. He rides always without sad
die and almost invariably without a
blanket. He wears a uniform, and he
sits up straight, like a soldier-he
makes pretty prim-looking figure on
horseback; he is almost certain to be a
very good rider.
Yesterday / saw something / had
never seen before-a painter on horse
back You often see the painter
wagon. loaded with ladders and pots and
cans of paint, and with two or three or
more men in paint-covered overalls and
jackets; but this was just the horse
with a painter on his back. Where he
was going, or what it all meant, ]
couldn't even imagine.
Later, yesterday, met one man In
the saddle. Walking down Riverside
drive after nightfall to get a little all
and exercise before dinner. and watch
ing meanwhile the new moon hanging
low over the river, I heard the hoof-
beats of a horse coming up along the
bride path. Presently horse and rider
came into view; man singing. horse
keeping time with his hoofs; and sc
they disappeared.
