New York Clearing House Vaults Now
Hold $4,000, 900 in Coin.
The New York clearing house contains
in its vaults $40, 1000, 900 in gold coin. The
greatest amount of the yellow metal
which the vaults of the United States
ever held was $200,000,000. Thus it will
be seen that the banking institutions of
New York City possess nearly as much
gold as the United States Government
ever held at any one time. The greater
portion of the gold which the recent inn
port movement brought to this country
found its way into the hands of the New

The Currant or Coos sherry Worm.
AT the first appearance of the de-
strnctive currant worm, prompt atten-
ton is necessary If complete relief be
desired, as the voracious appetite Of
this pest is wonderful, and the plants
are rapidly denuded of their leaves.
Probably the best remedy is white
hellebere, which may be used without
fear Of injury in its contact with the
fruit. 1t may be applied diluted In
water and syringed with water and
the powder busted over them Or the
latter following a rain. For a small
number of plants, the powder busted
will perhaps be found the best, as 1t
seems to attach itself more lastingly to
the leaves. A second application,
about ten days after the first, will usu
ally be fouAl necessary. In the course
of an hour after the applications have
been made, the ground will be found
covered with the dead or dying worms,
