THE MAINE AFFAIR GESTURES
FINANCES.

The effect even of a probability of
war is seen in the disturbance OF the
finances. On March 9Th, there was a
decrease for the week in the bank de-
posits of New York City, of the sum Of
So, 1913 300. 1t is the largest decrease
since 1881. Large shipments of money
have been made to the West. The in
terror banks that keep deposits in the
N. Y. City banks, have largely with
drawn them, in view Of possible distur-
Dances. Hoarding has begun by timid
people. Many persons, unable to under
stand the situation, fear that in case Of
war, the Spanish cruisers will attack
New York City and loot the banks. Ma
turally many new commercial enter
prises are suspended. President Mckin-
lev understands the situation, and be-
cause he does, and moves with extreme
caution, both parties unreservedly put
confidence in him. Even if a submar-
inc mine is discovered under the Maine,
the President will not move, until there
is ample, sufficient and convincing
proof that the Spanish authorities put
il there. 1t will be difficult indeed to
get the evidence. But the President Will
not sacrifice a life unless it is ample
and sufficient in the mind of any i'm
partial man.

The Japanese, who claim to have
first discovered or utilized the peach,
have a quaint legend as to the fruit.
A pious old couple, stricken with years
and poverty, subsisted by begging. One
day on the highway the old woman
found the beautiful ripe fruit. AL
though almost famished, she did not
selfshly eat the luscious peach alone,
but took it home to divide with her
husband. AS the knife cut into it the
fruit opened, and an infant sprang

BANK STATEMENT.

DAMN SIAIEMENT.
Inc weekly bank statement shows the
following changes:
Surplus reserve. decrease, $,7iS,6OO
Loans, increase, S.07SS 500
Specie increase, 81, S6e1O0.
Legal tenders decrease, SS645.5O0
Deposits, decrease, 1923. 800
Circulation, decrease. $780, 600
The banks now hold 81, 6SS, $50 in excess
or the requirements of the Is per cent
rule.
The Financier says: The statement OF
the Associated Banks for the week end
Ing February 18th is remarkable for its
loan and cash showing. Ordinarily. an
increase of $7,07S.SO0 in loans is accompa-
MED by proportionate expansion in de-
posits but in the current statement de-
posits are almost stationary, showing a
decrease of $4,000. On the other hand.
there was a loss of Sc, 779, 400 in cash, the
gain Of 81. S66.1 100 in specie having been
offset by a decrease of $S645,5O0 In legal
tenders.
Where this money went is somewhat
problematical. but the statement anal
lied so as to indicate changes shows one
large bank to have lost nearly $4,000
in cash. It's loans remain at or near
the same figure as previously reported,
and its deposits have fallen off s., 900 900.
have lost SO, 900 in cash. thus account
ing for the total change OF the week
The only inference is that the cash
loaned, or an amount as large. has gone
out Of the banks, since it does not show
in the deposits, and the increase in loans
and the decrease in cash almost exactly
offset each other
As the reserve requirements OF the
week were not affected by heavy de-
post changes. the loss in cash reduces
the surplus reserve by almost the Same
amount drawn out of the banks. The ex-
cess money in bank is now down to
81. SIS, 40 an amount about one-half as
large as reported for the same week
last year. Since January 18th, this year,
the loss in reserve has been 100000,
while deposits have increased $4,000 900,
and loans $23 600 In other words,
loans are expanding faster than deposits,
and cash is decreasing. as a result. AL
though the latter has been the case for
only a week. ii is significant as showing
that the flow of money TO this centre
has been checked, to meet growing de-
mands at interior points. New York
exchange at nearly all domestic centres
Is at a discount, and the actual ship
ments Of currency to the banks in a
number of cities widely separated is a
indication of better trade. The
outlook is that a firmer money market |

eminently social qualities endeared him
to all. And when the intelligence of his
sudden death reached us, there was a
universal and sincere feeling of sympathy
and regret.
''On this occasion, when we have

associated with us to pay tributes to his
memory, l esteem it privilege to add a
garland to the wreath which kindly

remembrance of our departed friend and

colleague, Gov. Dingley, that l cannot
draw upon the present members of the
House as it would seem l should be able
to do in view of the familiarity of the
scene, the identities of the place and the
associations connected with public life
here, for | presume there is no public
body in which the changes are so swift and
so great in the personality of membership
as in this.
81 saw the last sad rites performed
above the remains of our departed friend,
and, sadly retracing my steps, turned
again, as is the law of life, toward the
duties of the present and of the hope that
each one of us might, by this additional
reminder of the mutabiity of human life
and human ambition, determine to devote
himself more fully, more unselfshly,
more consecratedly to the duty we owe to
our country, to our neighbors, to our
selves and to our God.''
At 3.25 p. m., as a further mark of re-
spect, the House adjourned.
