Italy In Eurone

With a better government, better
health laws, reviving industries, the be-

more, to relieve the pressure at home

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

ever, have been only $10,000000, which has
gone to interior institutions, and the eX-
cess reserve Is nearly 100000 larger than

interior demand has been rather we'll sat

Calmness which prevails. II may be noted
that interior banks are again in this mar
Ilet as purchasers of commercial paper.
The changes in the totals Tor the week are

The loan item decreased $40. $50 100. due to
the continued liquidation. 1t is worth men

the loan decrease. 1t is estimated that at
least So. 100000 of accumulated sterling bills
are held in this city. and any rapid ad-
vance in money must of necessity lead to
