KEY WEST, June 2. = The United
States auxiliary gunboat Uncas re-
ported that on Monday last when about
a mile and half west of Matanzas

house on shore. Taking up position
about 600 yards off shore, the Uncas
fired two shots at the house and two
shells went clear through the building,
which was wrecked.
During the firing the auxiliary gun
boat Leyden came up and fired couple
of shots. 1t is not known whether any
Spaniards were killed, but they prob
ably fed at the first shot. The block
house made no reply.

The question OF procuring farm laborers
Is becoming more and more difficult every
year, and of course, causing the farmers
a great deal of anxiety. In ante-bellum
days, when we planters OF Virginia"
wished TO put in a large crop OF tobacco
wheat, or anything else, the first question
to be asked and decided was, whether the
outlay requisite for the proper cultivation
of said crop was in hand or not. To-
day, coupled with the above sine qua non,
is sescond question OF scarcely less
importance--can the necessary labor be
procured. The answer is extremely diff
cult to give, and many farmers are de-
TERED from planting as large crops as
they would like. for fear that the neces-
sary help cannot be had when needed
Some one may ask why this Is so. 1t is
because nearly all the old negroes, who
were trained TO work by white masters,
are dead. and the younger set are, as a

BANK STATEMEN


The weekly bank statement shows the
following changes:
Surplus resolve, increase, 1,S97,925.
Loans, decrease, $40, 1872, 400
Specie, increase, $3,93S, 700.
Legal tenders, decrease, S4,675,49o

rule.
The Financier says: So far as relative
strength is concerned, the New York
clearing house banks are i'm a stronger
position now than at the close of bust
ness one week ago The policy of re-
trenchment seems 70 have been rather
generally followed by the larger institu-
lions, and the loss of S10309, 400 In loans,
as shown by the statement of March 18th,
correspond closely with the reduction of
80 53S, 600 in deposits. Early in the week,
the liquidation in loans was a marked
feature, as number of the banks were
below their reserve requirements, and
desired, naturally, to increase their cash
holdings. The unsettled Stock Exchange
conditions have also contributed toward
the falling off shown in the averages.
The banks appear to have lost $4,i65, 400
In legal tenders. but the receipts of the
first gold imports swelled the specie item
Sc 93S. 100 so that the actual loss in cash
for the week was only S7S6700.
The reserve requirements since Deem
Der, in deposits, were reduced 81, 63e 235,
and taking from this the actual loss In
cash, the result shows that the banks
have added 81, 1891, 925 TO the excess reserve
reported one week ago. There is now
engaged or en- route for America over
sl2. 900 in gold, and as this will find its
way into New York banks, excepting of
course, the one-half million and odd for
Chicago. the outlook must be regarded
as reassuring. 1t will be seen that this
country can stand a heavy drain without
weakening the position of the local banks,
although, why there should be a con-
tlpued movement of funds TO this coun-
try, with bank reserves at nearly every
point heavier than usual, is a matter
that cannot be explained easily.
The local money rates during the week
have reflected an easier feeling, falling
OFF somewhat at the close. Many of the
larger banks seems to be out OF the
market on commercial paper but out-of-
town Institutions, which are not affected
by the withdrawal OF money, have been
doing considerable business at this point.
II H. OF course, impossible, In view OF
foreign complications. to predict how
money will turn within two weeks, but 1t
will require q very severe crisis, indeed,
