award of the new loan and the settlement of July loans are responsible in large part for the heavy changes in the various items. The incredase of SIP ,651 300 in loans can be traced directly to several institutions which are carrying government money in fact, the expansion reporlte for all the institutions The fact that the increase is thus limited to few banks precludes the idea thalt business demands have influenced the heavy loan growth. The deposits of the same banks have also fallen so that the loans in their case have been made in cash and withdrawn from bank. Incidents like this tend to confuse accurate analysis, but the general trend of the statement is about as expected The heavy collections Of checks given for small subscriptions are causing a loss in the banks. On the other hand, the treasury is making unusualiy heavy payments on war accounts, but tts receipts for the reason named are in eN- cess of disbursements. The effect is to re- duce the surplus of the local banks, which the statement shows. The loss has been greater than shown for the banks have gained through the interior movement. The flow of cash to New York, however, has passed its maximum and domestic ex- change has declined sharply at interior cen- ters. The situation can be spoken or as favorable. The surplus reserves of the banks are in excess of the fifty-two mil- lions, and while the new loan this week will create more or less confusion nothing more than a temporary disturbance is an- tlcipated. The fact that not much over one-fourth of the whole amount has been taken in $500 bonds and under makes It easy for the treasury to regulate the period of payments of the larger subscriptions in instalments so separated as to minimize the effect on the money market

Paine. Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter

Birmingham, Ala, July 9.-A recapitula- ton of the weeks events show unbounded confidence in the greatest government on earth, not only by Americans, but by the world at large. This has been emphatically demonstrated by the foreign buying, or American securities, the bids on exchange at 1021k for new government bonds and the continued flow of money to the metropolis for investment, todays bank statement showig a great increase in deposits. Taking eodays movement as a criterion, the ad- vance in securities interpreted means that the war is approaching an end and atten- ton is being centered on railway earnings prospectively ad present, which cannot be construed otherwise than bullish. The open ing today shows advances in the entire hst with the exception of the coalers, which are affected by the large output and demorali- zation in prices of the product. The grang- CTS and anderbilts are again strong. Inc closing figures were the best of the day. We are extremely bullish. even at this ad- vanc and believe Sugar, New York Central and the Klondikes will sell much higher.

ably decorated for the occasion, and

aches, it isn't worth paying any attention

LANDSLIDE FOR PHILBRIGK
He is Reelected Mayor by an Over
WheIming Vote to the Sur
prise of Many.
John Moon Gets a Huge Majority
for the Short Term
Alderman.

The city election of last Tuesday re-
suited in the reelection Of F. w. Phil
brick for mayor, George L. Evans for
city recorder, H A. Baldwin for city
treasurer, j. H. Melges for alderman
of the first ward for two years, N. V.
R. Hunter for alderman of the second
ward for two years and John E. Moon
for alderman of the second ward for
one year. The question of issuing IL
cense was carried in favor of the propo-
sition by a majority of fifteen votes,
about nine more than was voted for
license last year.
There we're only two contests, aside
from the license question. One of the
positions contested for was mayor and
the other was alderman of the second
ward for one year. In both cases the
successful contestants carried the day
by an overwhelming vote, Mr.. Phil
brick winning out for mayor by 70
votes, and John Moon being elected
alderman of the second by 1Ol major
ity.
From the standpoint of interest ia
the election there has ben no presi-
dental election that has attracted
more general interest in this city. Po-

guests; but soon the attention was at
tracted toward the parlor door from
whence proceeded the bridal party,
consisting of the bride and groom, at
tended by Miss Jessie Beer, sister of
the bride and John NJ. Stewart, an in
innate friend of the groom.
They Immediately marched to the
northeast corner OF the room and took
their places under an arch prepared
for the occasion. Rev. w. O. King,
pastor of the Christian church at Gar
den City and cousin of Mrs. Beer,
performed the ceremony. Rev. X. w.
White of this city pronounced the
benediction, and John Whitcomb and
Cornelia Beer were pronounced one.

CHICAGO MARKET, DEC. 27,

The general financial and CONNER
cial situation at the close of the year
is all that the most sanguine believers
in better times could wish.
Stocks, bonds and securities of all
sorts are on a much higher plane of
values than was the case short time
ago, while our greatest cereal, wheat,
has for three months been maintained
at price not before reached in five
years. The result is that the farmers
of the west have been enabled to mar
ket their crops so adyantageously that
they are no longer in financial straits,
and their prosperity has been diffused
through the whole commercial world
in the shape of increased manufactures
and trade. The wheat option for De-
cember, now expiring, remains close
to dollar bushel, the price to-day
being SO cents, while May command
ed 94ss T. These high prices are in
themselves encouraging, but still
greater cause for congratulation is that
they have been in effect for several
months, and there seems no prospect
of decline in the immediate future.
Corn is also appreciating in value,
May selling to day at 3Oss, and provis-
ions, while not particularly active
are firm and in good demand.

asm began at an early hour on Tues
day morning, and stopped-when the
alarm was given to the refreshment
resorts to close up for the night. Even
then, few of the enthusiastic follow
ers of Mr.. Philbrick insisted in keep
ing up the noise for an hour or two
afterwards.
The election was landslide. Both
sides had figured that their candidate
for mayor must win, and the very vote
that the followers of Mr.. Philbrick
placed their majority at the night be-
fore election was the majority at
which the Mead followers placed their
pencils. As result the Philbrick fol-
lowers are of the opinion that there
are whole lot of truthful men in the
city while the Mead followers are not
exactly of that opinion.
The voting was rapid from the start,
and had lull only between eleven
and twelve o'clock, and the final lull
that precedes the counting of the bal
lots. At noon the first ward had near
ly 100 votes polled and the second
ward was over that figure. From l to
8 o'clock the voters got another rush
on themselves and before the latter
hour nearly every vote had been cast.
