The Finsnci. RS Review.

New York. April 23.-The Financier
says: According to the statement of the
New York clearing house banks for the
week ended April q. the institutions hold
a surplus reserve of $3.525 100. which is
larger than has been reported since the
fourth wee& of July. 1897. This has been
brought about by the action of the banks
in preparing for the crisis which Is now
at hand. Their cash holdings. depleted by
demands from the interior. have been re-
plenished by imports of gold and by .he
continued contraction of outstanding OBJ
legations. To-day they are In exceedingly
strong positions and ready to meet any
demands which may be made upon them.
The statement in detail does NOT differ
much from those of the last several
weeks. The decrease of 81. 4s9. 900 in loans
represents the turning of accumulated
sterling into specie imports. and also the
liquidation Of current accounts.
But little new business IL being done. as
the rates in demand preclude any borrow
ing other than that which is absolutely
necessary.
The increases in gold were larger than
the weeks receipts from abroad, and It is
quite likely that the heavy expansion -e-
posits fell OF only 2.ol2, 100. which rust
about equals the legal tender decrease
and is less than the known loss to the
interior. The statement. judged by usual
calculations, does not balance, bu the
changes are logical. since the goli nm
ports and their relations to accumulated
sterling carried as loans must be taken
consideration.
Summarized, the only conclusion Is that
the banks have peri an operation
with rare skill. They nave retrenched
where necessary. supplied their corre-
spondents with funds while Strengthening
their own holdings. and they have put
their business in first-class condition, and
eminent is imminent. they have moro
money available for the purpose than at
any time during the last nine months.

season of '9S in Cedar Rapids
Yesterday was not what 1t would
have been had the weather been at all
favorable for the great national game.
The day opened rainy and chilly and
grew colder as the day progressed.
consequently there was very little en-
thusiasm displayed, and not more than
800 of the faithful sat in the stand and
on the bleechers when Umpire Cline
called play ball.
There were few of the fair SEX
dressed in their winter garments, who
sat with chattering teeth all during
the long drawn contest and applauded
both teams whenever they made a
good play.
The game itself was far from per-
feet. errors being quite numerous and
always costly.
For five innings it was an even con-
test. but in the sixth errors by Baer.
Flaherty and Babbit, and doubles by
Andrews and Cole gave the home team
a lead which the Rock Island boys
could not overcome. although they
PLAYED hard and did not give up until
the last man was put out in the ninth
inning.
The features of the game were long
running catches of hard hit balls by
McKibben and Flood. and the terrific
hitting of Dillon. Flaherty and Cole.
