Price Of Gold
Under Control.
Present Conditions Fortified by
Foreign Credits Held in
This Country.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The New York
Financier says: The extraordinary in
creases in the principal items of the
New York bank statement for the week
ending Jan. %, while in a measure un-
precedented, considering the short
space Of time required to send the fig
ures to the high limit attained, are not
at all mysterious. Taking the course
of the flow of money from the interior
last year, it is found that the surplus
fund of the banks stood during the full
week in January at $33, 000,0 000 and
three weeks later at $57, 600, 900, a gain
of $24, 100000. At the end of the month
this amount had been increased an
other 100000 The 1898 conditions
have not been widely different. Three
weeks ago the banks reported $15,7SS,-
600 surplus reserve. On Saturday the
same item stood at $31, ,275 200, which
goes to show that the banks, despite
the amazing increase for the week,
have accumulated $S,OOO,OOO less excess
money than in a similar period at the
beginning of 1897. In fact, the gain in
deposits of $22, ,S59, 900 last week was al
most eqUalled by the second week in
January. 1897. 1t is interesting to re-
were then heavy, and these conditions
are not unlike, with the exception that
no bank failure epidemic is now effect
ing the West, as during the early part
of 1897
An analysis of the individual items OF
the banks for the past week reveals
the fact that although one bank gain
ed $9,0O0,000 in deposits and was appar-
70 oil
banks, with few exceptions, show
heavy gains. The expansion of s12,477,-
coo in loans of course, tends to swell
the deposit item, and with the $11 OIL
400 increase in cash, accounts for the
deposit gain. This money is coming
from the interior for the most part,
and, while a larger quantity than usual
is going into commercial paper, the
bulk is loaned on the street and per-
haps on sterling loans.
All the items are far above any hera-
tofore recorded, but it should not be
forgotten that the treasury still has
large special dposits in the banks as
result of the Union Pacific settlement,
and the withdrawal of this money may
be expected soon. It's Importance as a
factor in the market is not to be un-
derestimated. New York banks, even
with investments in foreign credits, Will
probably have difficulty in putting out
the funds now accumulated here, and
there is apparently no reason for leav-
ing government deposits in banks
Never before has the situation present
ed so many conflicting features, but.
stripped CT ambiguity, the strong posi-
tion of the United States is clearly re-
vealed. This country, through its
heavy trade balances and the entrench-
ed position of the treasury, can, if it
is so disposed, regulate the price of
gold for some months to come.

INDEPENDENT ACTION
Decided Upon by Operators of the
Pittsburg District.

PITTSBURG, Jan. %. = The Pitts
burg Post says that at a secret meet
ing of coal operators, held at the office
of the Boyle Bros. Coal company, in
this city, yesterday afternoon, it was
decided that, SO far as the representa-
tives present at the meeting were con-
cerned, no agreement reached at the
interstate conference, if any at all was
reached, would be binding, and no 9TH
er agreement or proposition of any
kind looking to a rate for mining in
the Pittsburg district outside that con-
templated by the uniformity agreement,
as proposed at the recent meeting held
at the Monongahela house, would be
considered at all. 1t was the consen-
sus of opinion that tSe convention
would arrive at no settlement of the
many veXed questions presented to it,
and, if any agreement were arrived at,
it would be lived up to only long enough
to permit lake coal to be stocked, when
a free-for- all breaking away from the
agreement would be INDUCED in.
One of the most important steps TAX
en- at the meeting was the passage of
a resolution that the mining price for
the year 1898 should be, as far as the
mines Of the signers of the uniformity
agreement were concerned, 65 cents and
no more. The dead work scale to be
based upon that rate. Twelve large
firms We're represented at the meeting,
among them W. P. De Armit, Henry
Floerscheim, J. H. Jones, Peter Keel
ing and w. II. Brown.

TEN MILLION EXPENDITURE
To BE Made in RehabiIitating the
Isthmus Road,

ST. LOUIS, Jan. pa special to the
Globe e-Democrat from the City of Mex
leo says: The National Tehuantepec
Isthmus railroad has been leased to
Sir Weetman Pearson & Son for pc
riod of fifty years. They assume con-
troll on April 1. The contractors will
build the two harbors at Salinas Cruz
and Coatzaeoalcas, and rebuild and re-
habilitate the Isthmus railroad itself,
the government guaranteeing per
cent on whatever investment Is made
in the railroad. The road is in poor
condition and needs rebuilding Be-
fore getting the lease the Pearsons
had to satisfy a mortgage for S175,O0O,
held by the Seligmans against the
road
Various estimates have been furnish
ed to the government for the harbor
work at Coatzacoalcas. The work in
cludes dredging and other protective
works in the mouth os the Coatzacoai-
cas- river, and this. 1t is estimated, will
cost from 100000 to $4,000, ,000 From
Salinas Cruz to the Pacific it is open to
the sea, and works like the Southamp-
ton breakWater would be necessary.
These would cost from ss.000,oO0 to $780,
600, 900.

Or. Lohenthal's brain reeled Being
bachelor and having no acquaintance
with the ex-president he could not un-
derstand 1t at ALL The mystery was
solved last night when a friend of his
on the Park slope. a mighty Democrat
1c politician. met him and asked him
why he had worn so distracted an air
OF late. The doctor detected a guilty
gleam in the politicians eye, and he
replied by seizing him f1ercely and de-
manding an explanation.
1t came out then that over the red
sparkling wine the politician and a
friend of his had made a bet of $50.
The politician said any American
statesman would answer a courteous
letter. His cynical friend bet they
wouldn't, and said they got the big
head after being in Office. The politi-
clan chose Grover Cleveland. He wrote
him letter telling how his marriage
had been blessed by twin daughters.
He told how he had taken the liberty
to name them after the great mans
wife and daughter. Would 1t be asking
too much for an autograph letter to
frame, which the sweet twins could
look upon and read when they grew up,
and cherish ever afterward? The great
man fell into the trap, and the willy
politician won his bet, though he stole
the young physicians name to do it.

There Is much comment in Berlin
court circles at the news from Darn
stadt of the increasing matrimonial
differences of the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess Louis. A fortnight ago
there was a terrible scene between
them, the trouble eliminating, it is
asserted, in the grand duke laying vio-
lent hands upon his wife and ejecting
her from the room. The Duke of Sake
Coburg and Gotha has been repeatedly
appealed to by his daughter, and let
ters of bitter complaint have been sent
to Queen Victoria, but both the duke
and her majesty profess inability to
cure the trouble The czarina, who was
also approached on the subject, is said
to side with her brother, Duke Louis
The quarrels are said to be largely due
to the national prejudices of the Ger
mans and English, and vice versa.
The announcement of the minister of
finance, DR.. MIGUEL, in the diet of
Wednesday that, Notwithstanding the
increased tax receipts and the large
surplus, new Prussian state loans are
necessary, has created a sensation. 1t
is understood that the new loans will
be largely used in improving the roll

seem to have been right in assuming
that Count Posadowsl5i, the minister of
the interior, means to further curtail
the coalition rights Of workers The
Inquiries instituted by him among Ger
man state governments was the first
movement in that direction. 1t is in
tended to shape state legislation and
pra ctice in the different states uniform
ly and in such g manner as to serve
two main purposes, namely, to render
extended strikes more difficult and to
enable the authorities to have more
strict control over strike leaders and
labor delegates, so as to gradually drive
the latter out Of the country 1t would
seem that the existing laws ought to
be sufficient to meet the requirements,
from the fact that during the present
week a laborer at Ronneburg was SEN
fenced to year in Jail for the verbal
Intimidation of a "Scab," while at Lu-
heck a striker was sentenced to nine
months in Jail for tearing up the time
slips of two "scabs."
From information, which has reached
the foreign office, it now appears that
the German missionary troubles in
China are becoming Widespread and are
leading to new complications between
the two governments. The Protestants,
as we'll as the Catholics have been at
tackled. Reports received by the Berlin
Evangelical Missionary society, show
that a critical state OF affairs exists
Murderous attacks have been made

German emigration during 1897 was
the lowest since 1874. 1t only totaled
1920 persons, against 32,114 in 1896, and
has steadily declined since 1893, when
1857 persons emigrated. The Colonial
society has perfected the organization
of sending young German women to

Receivers Sale of Battle Creek San

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Jan 22-
The receivers sale Of the big ADVENTIST
sanitarium, set for Jan. 27, has been
postponed. The sale was kept as quiet
as possible, but after notice of publ ca
ton bidders became numerous. DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, was the first to de-
posit a $4,000 guarantee check, and at
least two syndicates were formed. DR..
Kellogg and other leading Adventists
became alarmed and succeeded in OBJ
tanning an adjournment of sale. 1t was
a reorganization scheme of the great
property. There are hundreds of small
stockholders, who will probably be left
out. There are now about 600 employees
working for little or no salaries beyond
food and shelter.
