the Associated Hanks of New
York-Big Increase in Loans and
Observation-Disclosures OF in Surplus
Reserve Remarkable Activity
in the Bond Market.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Financier
this week says:
1.-The statement of the associated
banks of New York shows some rather
heavy changes for the week ending
Aug 6. loans having increased $12, 1885,
100 and deposits $15, 81, 500. The gain
in cash for the week was 1881, 800, and
the surplus reserve has fallen off about
$2,U00,0o0. owing to increased require
ments due to the expansion in de-
posts. The statement seems to re-
fleet as much as anything else the
progress of the recent financial opera
ton of the Great Northern railway,
which has increased its preferred stock
by $25, 09G, 900, of which $4,000, 900 is is

to redeem the outstanding collateral
bonds. ard So 600, 900 in exchange for
the stock of one of the leased lines,
which had been previously distributed
as a stock dividend. The Chase Ma
tional. through which this operation
has been transacted, showed gain of
over Sc. 000, coo in deposits, and its cash
holdings have also expanded over
FOUR MILLION.
THE National City bank accounts for
more than a third of the total increase
and has lost about the same in specie.
THE deposit gain seems to be con-
fined for the most part to the larger

rather well through the list.
The remarkable activity in the bond
market last week has probably operated
to produce some of the changes in the
current exhibit. The banks are still
gaining from the interior, and little, if
any, rediscounting is reported. The
season for this business is now close
at hand: and, while it is not anticipated
that the movement will be heavy, it is
interesting to note that the surplus
reserves Of the banks are now below
the roint reached last year at this
time. The decrease in surplus reserves
between July and October 1897 was at
least $50, COO, 600, bringing the excess
$4,000, 600. In the last six or seven
weeks the New York banks have re-
duced their reserves over $4,000, 900,
and have not begun to ship money to
the West. OF course, this decrease IS
due to bond payments from all over
the country. which have reduced bank
receives in New York. The government
holds heavy deposits in this center, so
that what might be called available
and permanent bank money is not as
heavy as has been estimated. But
that anything approaching a stringen-
cy or even lOng-continued hardness is
possible is out of the question. Gold
exports would check the latter in any
case"

The following is the full text of the
report of the court of inquiry:
United States steamship Iowa, first
rate, Key West. Monday, March 21.-Af-
ter full and mature consideration of all
the testimony before II, the court finds
as follows:
/. That the United States battleship
Maine arrived at the harbor of Havana.

The United States consul general at
Havana had notified the authorities at
that place the previous evening Of the
intended arrival of the Maine.
2. The state of discipline on board the
Maine was excellent: and all orders and
regulations in regard to the care and
safety of the ship were strictly carried
out
All ammunition was slowed in accord
ance with prescribed instructions. and
proper care was taken whenever am
munition was handled.
Nothing was slowed in any one of the
magazines or shell rooms which was not
permitted to be slowed there.

always locked after having been opened.

an undue amount of heat was the after

have had anything to do with the de-
struction Of the Maine.
The medical stores were slowed aft
Inder the ward room and remote from

GUS stores of any kind were slowed be-
ow in any of the other storerooms.
The coal bunkers were inspected daily.

# the ship very perceptibly; the sec
md, which was more open, prolonged
ind of greater volume. is attributed by
he court to partial explosion of two or
more of the forward magazines.
The evidence of the divers establishes
hat the after part of the ship was
practically intact and sank in that con-
iition. A very few minutes after the
explosion the forward part was COM
bstely demolished.
Upon the evidence of concurrent ex-
ernal cause the finding of the court is
Is follows:
| At frame II, the outer shell of the ship.
from a point liz feet from the middle
line of the ship. and six feet above the
keel, when in its normal position. has
been forced up SO as to now be about
four feet above the surface of the wa
ter; therefore about "a feet above where
| 1t would be had the ship sunk unin-
jured.
The outside plating is bent into re-
versed v shape, "A" the after wing OF
which, about Is feet broad and 80 feet In
ength frame II to frame 25) is doubled
back upon itself against the continua-
ton OF the same placing extending for

In two and the fiat keel bent into an an

outside bottom plates. This break is
now about six feet below the surface OF

normal position.
In the opinion Of the court this eff
feet could have been produced only by
the explosion of a mine situated under
the bottom of the ship at about frame IS
and somewhat on the shore side of the
ship.
The conclusions Of the court are:
That the loss OF the Maine was not In
any respect due to fault or negligence on
the part of any of the officers or mem
bers of her crew.
That the ship was destroyed by the ex-
plosion of a submarine mine, which
caused the partial explosion of two or
more or her forward magazines: and
that no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility for the de-
struction of the Maine upon any person
or persons.
have directed that the finding of the
court of inquiry and the views of this
government thereon be communicated
to the government of her majesty, the
queen regent. and do not permit my
self to doubt that the sense OF justice
OF the Spanish nation will dictate a
course of action suggested by honor and
the friendly relations Of the two govern
ments.
1t will be the duty of the executive to
advise the congress of the result and IN
