ASSOCIATED BANKS STATEMENT.

NEW YORK Oct. s.-The New York Finan- cier says this week: The changes in the state ment Of the associated banks Of New York for the week ending October can be traced almost entirely to one or two banks. Of the expansion of s. 67S 500 in deposits the National City counts for about g. 7OOO, 900, which was brought about apparently by an increase of $4, GOO 900 in the banks specie account and gain of s3O00, 00O in Its loans. With these figures taken into account, the weeks changes, so far as the re- maining banks are concerned are not so i'm portant. II is not to be forgotten, however, that one less bank reports It's cIearings this week. the Tradesmens s having suspended More less of the latters business has gone into other institutions. but there Is an elimination of S. coo 900 in loans and g. 500 600 of deposits that went to make up the totals last week. Had these been added to the current statements loans would have shown a much larger increase and deposits would have effected a correspond ing gain, would cash and other Items. With these facts held In view the statement becomes more favorable than otherwise, for new busi- ness by the other banks was enumerated by the loss of the Tradesmen s. Practically, of course, the results are as stated in the totals, but the inference of better business, as shown above, is correct in a limited measure. There Is nothing in the statement that can be con strued unfavorably. The cash reserve is larger than for the corresponding periods and two years ago and is increasing steadily, both from gold imports and treasury disbursements The loss of S950, 900 in legal shows the effect of interior demands, the banks having shipped more money than usual lately. Domestic ex- change at leading centers Is quoted lower and the withdrawals may continue for some time Against such losses however Is the gain from the sources named Loan increases, as already shown, lower than indicated. They re fleet & very satisfactory condition of business All fears Of further complications in the money market must be regarded as at an end and even with a continuing demand In the interior rates will probably ease off somewhat from this time
 Depository banks over the country owe the treasury large amounts, but the net balances deducting the continued disbursements over re- ceipts by the Government, will be replaced to some extent by new circulation.

McGregor Finally Gets 1t.
X. +. TYLER,
Secretary,

The special session of the Decorah
District Conference held at Calmar
Friday afternoon, to finally decide up
on location for assembly grounds was
attended by number of delegates
from McGregor, Lansing, DecOrah and
other points. The discussion was
heated and each of the three places
above mentioned offered strong induce
ments to the conference, but the Nc
Gregor delegation offered absolute con-
troll of twenty-five acres of land for any
period of time not exceeding twenty
years and to build substantial pavil-
ion thereon, light the grounds with
electricity, furnish city water, ETC., free
of charge to the conference. The only
requisite required from the conference
was that one meeting year of some
kind or other be held on these grounds.
Neither the Lansing nor Decorah dele
CATION felt warranted in taking such a
risk, and McGregor was finally chosen.
1t will cost the citizens of McGregOr
5000 to put the grounds in proper con-
ditiOn.
