Financial

New York April 23.-The Financier says:
 According to the statement of the New York clearing house banks for the week ending April 23, the institutions hold sur plus reserves of $43 ,525 100, which is the largest that has been reported since the fourth week of July, 1897. This result has been brought about by the conservative action of the banks in preparing for the crisis which is now at hand. Their cash holdings, depleted by the demands from the interior, have been replenished by the imports of gold and by the continued con- traction of outstanding obligations. Today they are in an exceedingly strong position and are ready to meet any demands which may be made upon them. The statement in detail does not differmuch from those of the last several weeks.
 But little new business is being done, as the rates demanded preclude any borrowing other than that which is absolutely neces- sary. The bnkas, however, are looking out for the needs of their customers. The gain in cash for the week was $5,603,500, gold re- cepts having been nearly $S, 1000 900 and legal tender decreases only $2,300 000.
 The increase in gold was larger than the weeks receipts from abroad, and it is quite likely that the heavy expansion reflects some of the previous imports. Deposits fell off only $2,3O2 100, which just about equals the legal tender decrease, and less than the known loss to the interior. The sta te- ment judged by usual calculations, does not balance. but the changes are logical, since the gold imports and their relation to accumulated sterling carried as loans must be taken into account Summarized, the only conclusion Is that the banks have performed a ditscult operation with rare skill. They have retrenched where neces- sary supplied their correspondents with funds while strengthening their own hold ings, they have put their business in first class condition, and today, when a call for funds by the government is imminent they have more money available for the purpose than at any time during the past nine months.

Cotton Letter

New York, April 23.-This weeks trading in cotton has witnessed passing from the period of stagnation to one of marked ac- tivity. Of course the principal topic on the exchange and the principal motive power to the fluctuations has been the op- ening of the war with Spain. For..gn buying based upon the belief thas war in cvitable has been aggressive and las re- suited in sharp advance in rricas. Liv- e'l.ol did well again, this riori:lg tLs cables reporting advance of two and one-half to three sixty-fourths in that mar ket. The opening here, however, was dis appointing, considering the strength of Lig- erpool prices ranging from one to four points lower than last nights closing iig- ures. After the opening the trading was not brisk and prices gave way further Au- gust opened at 635, rallied to 6.37, declined to 6.32 and closed at that figure with the tone of the market barely steady The duration of the with Spain and it's varying fortunes, will both undoubtedly exert their influences upon the cotton mar ket. The feeling that the war will help rather than depress prices is quite general, it is based on the belief that all the chances of war will tender to reduce the probabilities of another mammoth yield, while this true, it must beborne in mind that the south is planting an enormous acreage, the weather so far has been fa- vorabe and that far as human efforts can avail everything will be done to raise another monster crop. When the first excitement of the war shall have worn off natural influences will again exert their full effect, and unless warranted by poor crop accounts, we fear there can be no sustained advances Of course as war gamble 1t might pay to buy the market at present, but we cannot advise our friends to do so, on that feature alone.

Dry Goods

New York, April 23.-The week closes with stagnation in nearly all branches of the dry goods trade The failure to buy goods which has been the result of recent war uncertainty has left jobbers in many sections with low stocks. It is thought these will be compelled to buy more lib- erally within the next month. There is already a stronger market for all staple goods and prints and advances in quoted prices are expected at an early date.

NORTH CAROLINA.
Indications Point to a Sweeping
Democratic victory.


Wilmington, N. c., Nov. THE spirit
of the whites is so determined and their
Preparations for any emergency so thor
ough, that there now seems small proba-
bihty of any general disturbance of the ex-
isting quietude here tomorrow; though
there may be troubles of a minor nature
in the first and fifth wards where the ne
Groes poll nearly all their city vote.
The focus. of interest now is the fight
for the state sena torship, but without any
other agency, it is now conservatively es-
llmated that a sufficient number of ne
groes viii remain away from the polls to
insure the election of the Democratic can
didate. Moreover, the Democrats have in
umated that they must have this sena-
tor, and this hint is fun of meaning.
In this (he SIXTH congressional dis
ulct' Bellamy DemocraD wiz win in a
walk, and from advices received here by
William II, Bernard, member of the state
democratic executive committee, from
every precinct in the district it seems at
least probable that the Democrats will
elect every member of the legislature in
mat district, making six senators and
fourteen representa- tives. In the last legis-
lature the Democrats had two representa-
yves and not a single senator from that
ulstrict. There is no change in the general
outlook in the state. Indications point un-
Vrnngly to a sweeping Democratic sue

Navy Department Negotiating with

Washington. Nov. Capt Chester's de-
cision to abandon the work OF wrecklng
the Colon marks the end Of that under
taking on the part of the government II
is said at the navy department that the
captain was directed to stop the work
when 1t was, in his opinion, no longer
profitable. Because the contract with the
wrecking company has been terminated
II does not follow that all IDEAS have been
abandoned of saving some sunken Span
ish warshps
The navy department Is ready to engage
with thoroughly responsible wreciing con-
cerns providing the latter absolve the
government from payments unless the
ships are delivered in a United States navy
yard. Already one OF the greatest wreck
ing concerns In the world, a Swedish or
ganizaton, has opened negotiations on the
subject. IL is willing TO undertake at once
the raising Of the Reina Mercedes, which
lies in the channel In Santiago harbor,
and IL has indicated a disposition TO un-
dertake the wrecking of the Colon. This
concern has large experience IN this class
of work. and IL no American concerns
able to do the work offer better terms,
arrangement probably will be made with
1t on a basis of a cash payment for the
ship delivered In the United States.
