New York Bank Statement,

New York, Dec. 1.-The New York
Financier says this week:
The enormous balances which the
New York banks have been accumulat-
ing for the past few months are shown
in the clearing house statement for
the week. Loans are now within ST.
100000 of the $6OO.O0O.uOO mark and
deposits are $66G,2IS,GOO, which is one
third the total Individual deposits re-
ported by the 3,G10 national banks of
the United States on October 9Th last.
The rapid increases made by the banks
since May last will be understood bet
ter when it is stated that the gain in
deposits since that time has been $780,
100000, and in loans more than $780,
100000. Comparative figures show that
S50. 0.O0O.0OO of these increased deposits
and SIO,0O0,00O of the loans have been
made by one bank. which holds Mt the
present time over sol .OO0, 900 of net de-
posits. The statement of the banks for
the week is favorable. Loans show n
continued increase. the expansion hav-
ing been distributed among larger
number of institutions than has been
the case for some time past.

Omaha Exposition stamp.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The postmaster
general has authorized the engraving
and issue of special postage stamp
to commemorate the Omaha exposition
next summer. Mr.. Edward ROsewater
of the Omaha Bee, who is always fer
tile in ideas, suggested the scheme, and
brought it to Washington. The law and
traditions were consulted. and as there
is nothing to prohibit the postmaster
general from changing the design of
a postage stamp at pleasure or from
making several of the same denomina-
tlon If he likes, the order was issued.
The new stamp will be sold at Omaha
only. and on the exhibition grounds,
and it will probably be arranged so
that it can be printed there in the pres
ence of the public, but it will be re-
ceivable for postage at all postoffices.

and Hungary.

London, Dec. 4.-1nternntional Ques-
tions have been temporarily overshad-
owed by the gravity of the situation
in Austria, where things are as gloomy
as Imaginable. In addition to the i'm
minence of civil war the next few
hours may possibly witness historic
revolution in the relations between
Austria and Hungary, which might
mean the reconstruction of the map of
Europe. 1t Is hardly an exaggeration
to say that the factions are drawing
up like contending armies. The Ger
mans have appealed to their compa-
triots on both sides of the frontier,
and are apparently prepared to run
all risks to keep the hated Czechs in
subjectlon. The Czechs make no Sc
cret of the fact that their final aim is
to abolish the dual empire and to
make 1t n triple empire by placing Bo-
hemia on an equal footing with Aus
tria and Hungary. To grant these de-
mands would set Hungary on fire and
destroy the foundations of the present
imperial system. 1t looks as though
the employment of force is the only
solution of the question, but against
which faction will 1t be used?
The question of the provisional aus
glich bill Tor agreement to prolong for
y y
pact between Austria and Hungary,
pending arrangements for longer
compacD is, IL possible, a question
graver than the threatened civil war.
The Hungarian Diet has given Bar
on Won Gautsch Won Frankenthurn,
the Austrian premier, until Monday
next in which to state whether he can
reasonably expect the ausglich bill to
pass, and, failing n decisive answer,
Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier,
will introduce on Monday n bill where
by Hungary will act independently rs
regards the duties to be levied, contin-
uance of commercial relations with
Austria and the charter of the Austro-
Hungarian bank.
This compact between the two por-
tions of the dual state thus lapses, and,
though the status quo may be main
tained temporarily, Hungary will es-
tablish her claim to the right of inde
pendently disposing of these questions.
1t is easy to see that victory will only
whet the Hungarian appetite and that
it will be but short step to the dis
solution of Austria, which, in turn,
will hurl Europe into furnace of ter
rible possibilities.
Apparently the only hope Of escape
is that the personal ascendency of the
old Emperor will once again enable
him to solve an apparently impossible
situation. Failing in this, the Reichs-
rath will be dissolved and n reign of
absolution will begin in Austria, and,
technically, Hungary will have re-
sumed her independence, the first step
toward federated, as distinguished
from dual, Austro-Hungarian mon
archy.
