Financial

New York, Jan. 15.-The Financier says:
 The New York banks have made a new record in the matter of loans, the total of $610, ,992, 500 at the close of the week being the biggest eyer reported. Deposits are also above the figure previously made. During the first two weeks of the present year the gain in deposits has been $165OO, 900, while loans have expanded only $5, 100000 In view of this fact the ease in money rates does not appear strange, and if the banks con tinue to gain from the interior as at pres ent, lower quotations will follow. The withdrawal of government deposits, how ever, may steady the situation. The banks gained during the past week $5, 300 in cash, $2050, 300 of which was in specie. Gold is now coming in this direction from Can ada, the past ten days receipts having ap- proximated $65O,OOO.
 The increase in deposits was $6 6,020 400, while loans are only s1,215,7Oo heavier. The excess reserve in consequence expanded $3,7O4 200 and stands at $25 96S,775.
 This is only half as large as reported one year ago, but in view of the fact that re- mittances are now becoming larger, an in- crease may be expected from week to week. In the changes made during the week the operations seem to have been confined to the larger banks.
 The deposits of the Hanover, the National Park and the National City banks are ST. 100000 larger than the previous week, whether this is due to special operations cannot be definitely stated, but it shows that the remaining banks have less money in hand than at the close of Jan. g. The factors that led to the gain in cash, how ever, are rather well defined.
 As was pointed out last week. the enorfr1- ous interior movement at this season forces down money rates and compels cap- ital to seek better rates abroad-in other words, it leads to gold exports.
 Europe is now using at least $5Q,00 900 American money in the form of deferred credits, and unless rates abroad go to a very low level, there is prospect of this sum being immediately reduced The sensi- tive, however, is, the situation since. the United States became the dominant power in the international market, that the credit can be expended or reduced at will.

Drv Goods.


 New York, Jan. 15-In dry goods the last six days have shown a turning of the tide in favor of heavier buying and better price conditions. In woolen lines, the trade has been well sustained and gives promise of being expanded materially in the future. Heavy weight goods in the new styles have generally moved easily and at fair prices. In staple cottons, the strikes now de- clared, while deplored by the manufaetur- CTS, are looked upon by sellers in the local market as being of decided advantage to the market. Generally speaking, they will bolster up prices and sellers believe that with a heavy demand to come later, buyers will not be unwilling to pay better prices than those now prevailing. Both brown and bleached goods close the week with dull and weak conditions prevailing. There is a very slight gain in the demand for ex- port goods which it is hoped will expand later Coarse colored cottons are feature less.
 The weeks trading in print cloths has been slight.

Bloody Mud.

We referred yesterday to the
delugc of horrid war poetry that
is affecting the country. In re-
cent patriotic eiiusion we find this
gem of a verse;
A Yankee boy is trim and tall,
And never Overtat sir;
At dance of frolic, hop and ball,
AS nimble as rat, sir.
The following is about the worst
we have seen among the many
laments of its kind:
Strike for the Maine Blood
For the Maine, in'the Spanish mud
Blood, like Niagara 5 flood
Blood ! Blood
Shall we chew the peaceful cud
While the Maine lies in the mud
Shoulder your rifle, bud
Blood Blood
oh, stars that the. skies bestud,
Keep watch DER the Maine In the Mud
TIL revenged in crimson flood
OF blood-of blood
A western poet comes at us in
this wise-but why pursue the
painful theme Atlanta journal.

Following is from a report in
the Canterbury New Zealand)
Times "a weekly paper of ffty-six
pages, five columns each, excel
lently edited of a meeting at
Melbourne, Victoria; "fhe chair
was taken by the Attorney Gener-
| nj, who declared himself to be full
| ly in accord with the suffrage
movement, and announced his in
tention of reintroducing the ques-
ton into Parliament at the earliest
possible moment. He hoped,
moreover, that before many
months had passed the 'glaring
and manifest injustice would be
removed and the adult suffrage
law adopted. DR.. c. c. Cock
burn, the clever and progressive
Minister of Education Of South
Australia, was present, and he
pointed out that the effect of the
women's suffrage in New Zealand
and in South Australia were emf
nently good, and that South Aus
tralia had fasited every predic-
that the opposers of the move
ment had brought forward. With
his own colony he could with =
feet truth have coupled that Of
New Zealand also in this eulogium,
for woment have shown in re-
markable degree how well able
they were to handle their newly
found privilege. The Colonial
Treasurer of South Australia had
something to say on this question
also. When the women of South
Australia entered the booths on
polling day, no one, he said,
thought of touting for their votes,
SO plainly did their faces show that
their minds were made up, Better
still, the woman vote had result
ed in the question of private char
aeter becoming greater factor
than ever in the politics of South
Australia. Needless to say, this
speech was received with great |
applause.

Landsmen are becoming quite
learned on the subject of modern
fleets. They know, for instance, that
a squadron must be composed of
ships of all types, torpedo catcbers
to go ahead, torpedo boats to assail
the enemy's big ships, fast cruisers
to 60 ahead, torpedo boats to assail
the enemy's big ships, fast cruisers
for long runs, sudden raids and re-
connoitering, monitors for coast de-
Tense and battle ships for heavy
pounding and the supreme crisis in q
sea fight. The cruiser may engage a
vessel of its own class, but not bat
tie ship. What the latter most
breads is the little torpedo boat lying
close to the water and armed with
torpedo tubes which shoot torpedoes
under water to distance of nearly
half a mile. As soon as a torpedo
boat approaches it must be assailed
by torpedo catchers, the swiftest
of all sea craft, armed with rapid
fire guns. Nelson's style of fight
ing has gone out entirely, except his
rule Of going straight at the enemy
as soon as sighted.

In MemOriam.

"There is no flock, however watched and
But one dead lamb is there!
There is no 1ireside, howso'er defended
But has one vacant chair!
The air is full of farewells to the dying
And MORNINGS for the dead;
The heart of Rachel for her children crying
Will not be comforted."
On Easter Sunday. about 8 O'Clock in
the evening. there died in this city little
Lloyd Newfer, youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Newfer. Little Lloyd was a
bright and beautiful child. He would
have been three years old if he had lived
until the Goth may Of May. His cunning
baby way endeared him to all hearts, and
his sad and sudden death was crushing
blow to his parents and relatives. He was
buried Tuesday afternoon quietly and pri-
vately, on account of the dangerous ILL
ness of his little brother Ottie, who was
struggling for life with the same dread
full disease that caused the death of Lloyd
cereDO-splhal meningitis.
Early Friday morning, at 1:30, the death
angel again visited this stricken family
and bore to the other world the spirit of
little Ottie. Ottie would have been seven
years old next October. Thus in less
than one short week were these two little
ones taken away. The anguish of the be.
reaved parents, who can measure? Cities
little desk at school was draped in black
and decked with flowers. Saturday after
noon he was laid to rest in Maple Grove
cemetery, by the side of his little brother,
who had SO lately preceded him. In the
presence of such sorrow. we can only
bow our heads and pray Higher Power
for strength to endure.
MY Lord has need of these fiowerets gay
The Reaper said and smiled.
Dear tokens of the earth are they
Where He was once a child.
And the mother gave in tears and pain
The flowers she most did lOye,
She knew she would find them all again
In the fields of light above.
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day,
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away"
