The reason for this action, one OF

AHAIRBREADTH ESCAPE.
Train and Street-Car Mar
rO,yIy Avoid Collision.

There was considerable excitement In
that pleasant part of the city known as
Fulton Friday evening, occasioned by
the bare escape of a collision between
street-car and the Chesapeake and Ohio
passenger train from Old Point, due here
at $50. The guard gates at the crossing
of the railroad and the street railway
are controlled by electric buttons at the
Orleans-StTeet station. On this occasion,
from some unaccountable cause, the
white knobs failed to do their duty, and
the gates remained up. A car passed
leisurely under and got fairly upon the
track when the motorman saw the train
gliding up towards him at great speed.
The engineer OF the train saw, too, that
unless something was done, and done
quickly, collision would be inevitable.
He put on the air brakes and waited.
The train, under the pressure OF the
brakes, slowed down slightly but even
then rushed by the car, just missing the
rear fender The passengers on the car
were greatly frightened. No one was
hurt, though, and there was no more
serious result. However, the narrow es-
cape has been the town topic with the
Fulton people since 1t became known.

BANK STATEMENT
The weekly bank statement shows the
following changes:
Surplus reserve, decrease, $2,135,S25.
Loans, decrease, Sl3, G22,OOO.
Specie, increase $3.50, 400
Legal tenders, decrease, SS,S73, 700
Deposits, decrease, S2Sl93,9OO.
Circulation, increase, 1920.
Inc banks now hold $40 800 In eX
cess OF the requirements of the % per
cent. rule.
The Financier says: The statement Of
the Associated Banks of New York re-
fleets in full the disturbing causes which
have been making for nearly three weeks
past. The heavy decreases, however,
cover, period longer than the seven
days which the totals are supposed TO
represent. As was outlined in this analy-
sis last week, the averages did not in
clude the losses which the banks were
then sustaining through shipments to the
interior. The latest statement reveals
very clearly the extent Of this drain. The
decrease In deposits can be traced
through a list OF twelve of the larger
banks, ranging from one to four million
dollars In each instance. The only in
ference is that this money has gone 10
interior Institutions, and this is further
borne out by the fact that New York
exchange at all important centres has
advanced from a heavy discount to par,
and. in some cases to q substantial
premium. The amount shipped has been
more than sufficient to meet legitimate
trade demands. At times the movement
seemed 10 have ceased. The future de
velopments of a political character must
decide whether it is to be resumed, or
whether the tide will turn and the money
again flow to New York.
In view OF the current statement, the
heavy gold lmportations do not appear
pat all strange. In fact, the wonder is
that the engagements were not larger.
AS might nave been expected, there has
been a corresponding reduction In loans,
and the decrease of 900 is account
ed for by the liquidation in speculative
circles. and the calls made in order TO
strengthen reserves. The heavy sales of
accumulated sterling exchange at this
centre are also TO be considered in this
connection, but, for all that, the banks
lost last week nearly S80O0,000 in cash
reserve the reduction is only 2,l35&5,
ana the excess is stiIl over $40, 600. The
cold coming from Europe will more than
mako m ten loss in reserves for two
weeks. The treasury did not call the
usual Union Pacific transfers from de-
nosrtory banks last week, and while Kan
sas Pacific payments viii require within
the next thirty or forty days nearly
81 600 900 now in the banks, ii cannot
be said that the outlook favors anything
more than moderate tirmness in rates.
me exchange situation is so sensitive
that sudden advances are bound to bring
additional imports, and thus restore the
eomnprlum. II the developments or the
next ten days are such that peacetul
conclusion OF our foreign complications
ia assured, the money market Will propa-
nlv weaken AS 1t IS, rates have actually
declined from the high point reached
early last week.

An Appeal for the Association.

Mrs. Joseph Bryan, president or the
Woman's Christian Association, has is
sued the following circular 10 all int
rested in the work of the association. 1t
reads as follows:
To the Friends of the Woman's Christian
Association, Richmond, Va:
The contributions for the work OF this
association have fallen Off of late; not,
ii is believed from a lack OF interest in
the work, but doubtless from an idea that
certain requests made to the association
had been received, and were quite suiii-
cient for its needs. Both suggestions are
erroneous.
The legacies of Mrs. Waller and Major
Ginter have not yet been received, and
NAV not be for some time. Even when
paid. il will be year or more, in addl-
tion. before we can expect TO draw any
interest therefrom.
In The mean time the work must go on.
although sadly hampered by our depleted
treasury which has never been as low
as il is to-day.
we feel that II is due 10 our patrons
and ourselves to state these facts.

Judges to Secure Them.
Attorney General Montague has recent
" discovered that the bonds OF twenty
five OF the 1T county and city treasurers
of the State should be replaced by new
ones
Mr.. Montague made the examination In
pursuance OF a joint resolution adopted
by the General Assembly before the
Christmas holidays. He had to do the
work hurriedly. Had he have had more
time he might probably have made more
discoveries OF the character reported.
He examined bonds OF the aggregate
penalty OF T396,000, together with the
powers OF attorney OF very large num-
Der OF obligors, the resolutions OF qua
ranty companies in cases or corporate
suretyship, and court orders relative 10
the execution and approval or bonus
The recommendations as TO new Dohus
refer TO those OF the latter class, though
Mr.. Montague will not state they are
defective.
The Attorney-General has no authority
to go further in this matter, and Is care
full as to his expressions regarding Tue
bonds as he might thereby be emOai
raised in future action he may nave "
take.
