FINANCIAL oPERATToNs.
Weekly Bank Statement Is Regarded
AS Favorable.

New York. Dec. 10.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following. changes:
Surplus reserve, decreased 1854 $50; loans,
increased s4,561, 900; specie, increased d, "a
Goa, 200; legal tenders. decreased 81, 49, ~;
deposits increased $1,252,290; circulation,
decreased SIS, 800. The banks now hold
$l6 743, 500 in excess of the requirements OF
The Financier says: The statement of
the New York clearing house banks for
the week ending Dec. 10 indicates an eX-
pansion of S4,56l, 500 in loans and 81, 262, 200
IN deposits. The increase in liabilities,
however, as shown in the latter item.
makes but little change in the total of
the banks reserves, the decrease amount
ing to about one-tilird of a million dollars.
1t is evidence that the loans have gone to
swell banking credits, and incidentally
deposits. the gain in cash partly making
up eor the discrepancy between the two
items. The net increase in cash, in fact,
very nearly supplied the added reserve
requirement, and the statement is favor
able from a banking standpoint, in that
use has been found for all the money
which came into the institutions last
week.
AS an exemplifcation of the theory of
banking operations outlined by the sec
rotary of the treasury in his annua! re-
view last week, the current exhibit of the
banks is peculiarly to the point. In detail
the statement presents nothing that
throws light on the current situation.
The expansion in loans can be traced to
three or four Of the largest banks, and
gains in deposits have been limited for
the most part to about the same number.
II is evident that the loan Increase has
been due to sterling investments and col
lateral buying. although there is q steady
absorption of commercial Daner The
actual position Of the banks with respect
10 cash changes is at variance with esti-
mates based uDon the weeks operations.
Currency from the interior is moving this
way, as is natural at this season. The
amount will be increased considerably as
the January dividend period approaches.
On the other hand, the banks are losing
to the treasury about as much as they
gain. The net increase OF 81, $50 900 in cash
for the week therefore, was unexpected
The seeming ability of the banks to eX-
tend their operations in proportion to the
excess cash received is an argument
against lower rates, even If it does not
forecast any degree of firmness.
The direction of the new loans, how
ever, is a matter of interest. AS long as
they are merely the tangible expression
of deferred European credits. they are
dependent on fractional exchange quota
lions and are liable to sudden contrac-
! ton. For this reason. it is difficult to
judge the future Of the money market.
The only inference is that rates cannot
go higher for more than very brief
period. since such a move would almost
Immediately defeat itself through gold
| imports.

SUGAR BETS IN NEW YORK.
Success Of the Industry Is Now As
Sured


Albany, N Y, Dec 1O.-At the close
of the sugar beet season, the second
year of experiments in New York
state, the Country Gentleman, an agri-
cultural journal, has completed gath
ering some statistics. 1t says:
Official reports from the experiment.
al plants of the New York department
Of agriculture show the season to have
been an unfavorable one generally, and
that an unknown beetle destroyed
many Of the plants, so that the re-
seeding in many cases was absolutely
necessary. Good Yields however are
reported, and the experiments may be
said to be a success, so far as proving
the adaptability of the New York soil
for sugar-beet growing, the real object
of the experiments.
THE new factory at Bingharnton,
now closing it's first season, pays So per
ton for each ton of beets delivered to
1t. 1t also furnished the seed to grow
ers at about cost. About 1 100 farmers
are under contract to furnish beets this
year, and $1,000 tons have been deliv-
cred. 1t is thought that between Is, 600
and 1900 tons will be converted into
sugar before the close of the season,
making the output of the factory 1,50O
10 LOO tons of sugar. The factory
runs day and night, employs 100 men,,
in two shifts of fifty, and is now pro-
during fifteen tons of sugar daily
1.-THE experiments at both the Rome
and Binghamton factories show that it
takes ten tons of beets to make one
ton of sugar. OF New York states
beets it is found that the percentage
Of saccharine matter in the beet is
equal, if not far ahead, of those raised
in California and other western states.
Up to the time of harvesting, the ex-
pense per acre is $11.17, not including
cost of seed or fertilizer"

MERCUR's NEW DEPOT.
Delays of Freight Causing Much
Inconvenience.
(Snecial Correspondence.l

Mercur Dec. 1O.-The new railroad de-
pot is completed and the office was moved
in this week. Everything in and around
the depot is a scene of hustle A great
quantity of freight is lying at Fairfield,
and although every effort is being made
by the company, there is a great deal of
inconv enience experienced on account of
delays. Merchants are waiting for con-
signments of holiday goods mills and
mines are hindered by the failure of sup
plies and machinery to arrive and men
are loafing around town, unable to pro-
coed with their work. 1t is to be hoped
something will be done shortly in the
matter, or a coal famine is among the
possibilities.
1t is reported that a new coal company
will soon commence business. It is the
intention to bring the coal from Fairfield
by team.
]. Shafer, proprietor of the Mercur ho-
tel, has been suffering for some time with
an attack of locomotor ataxi, and all
though he has consulted physicians in
Salt Lake and New York. he does not
seem to improve in health. 1t is reported
that in consequence he is thinking Of SELL
ing out his business.
Another large mercantile establishment
is likely to be established here before
long, and the parties have been looking
over the Mercur hotel to see if it can be
lifted UP as a. store.

Unfavorable Crop Reports Caused

Chicago. Dec. 1O.-The opening in wheat
was barely steady, though at a slight adj
vance over yesterdays closing prices.
Crop reports from Argentine were again
unfavorable. advices from there stating
that wheat was being damaged by rains,
but this was Offset in a measure by the
action of the Liverpool market, which
showed q closing decline of about I'D.
The weakness of the foreign market was
rather unexpected and held buying in
check for a time. Besides the Liverpool
decline. bears had to confront hem a
very favorable Michigan state crop re-
port and a very limited export demand at

in that section were sure to fall off sharp

sharp advance in prices during the first

ports as to the Argentine crop were con-
tradicted. but the effect this might have
had was offset by reports from Califor-
MIA, telling of high winds and hot. dry
