the Britishers have hitherto cared To
admit, and it is difficult to see how il
can be relieved for some time to come.
While the official dispatch from the
Boer head lager outside Ladysmith.
dated Nov. a. showed that the town
was still flying the union jack on Fri
day, the cheerful tone of the message
and the evident anticipation of the
speedy reduction of Ladysmith is not
calculated to cheer anxious relatives.
The reported silence of the British

that the Beers have just placed in po-

they have not yet done their worst.
The arrival of the German officers.
some of whom, it is understood, gained
large experience in reducing fortified

a change of tactics which will add to
the suspense of the sorely tried garri-

The situation in the northern part of

as It can be. Beers are turning up in
all directions.

The Financier,s Review.

New York, Nov 25-The Financier says
The release of government funds on bond
banks OF New York City TO largely in
crease their cash holdings. the curpius
reserve of $685., 200 contrasting sharply
with the deficitit of SS12.0 600 reported a
year ago; Singularly enough the banks
taken individually do not seem to have
strengthened their standing much. one
large institution reporting a gain in cash
greater than the aggregate of all the
banks. The deposit item shows the same
result. so that the only benefit the other
banks have derived is the lessened dia-
bility reserve which does not offset their
losses in cash. The individual reserves,
therefore. are in some cases lower than
last week But for this, the money mar
ket has eased up perceDtibly- 1t is quite
probable the statement does not reflect
actual conditions. The contraction in
loans. ii may be noted. in this particular.
is to be traced TO the same institution
that absorbed the cash. its loss of S5.0c9.0c0
more than equalling the loss of all the
banks. The majority of the banks there
fore would seem TO have lost slightly in
cash. and in deposits and expanded their
loans. So far as the outlook Is concerned
there seems to be a disposition toward
easier rates although the decline may not
be more than nominal. The steady con-
traction which has been going on at this
center for some months cannot continue
Indefinitely.
Deposits ape now lower than at this
time last year, and leans have shrunk
much below the November GS9S) average.
The only difference in the two exhibits
is that this time last year the banks
had So COCO more surplus reserve. As
they have the opportunity fo- securing
government funds now. and as the in -erior
movement favors New York. this dis
crepancy may quickly disappear. 1t is
doubtful, however. that whether the be-
ginning of the year will be marked by
the wild expansion that opened with jan
uary. twelve months ago

Beers, however. as shown in recent dis
patches, are rapidly closing around the
Moo' river camp. Another armored

reports that the Boer forces are starv-

farms.
Numbers of loyal Natal farmers have
taken the field in response to the call
for mobilization. The rife associations
are now doing splendid scouting work.
Two of these volunteer patrols checked
the Beers near MOOT river. The gov
eminent has realized the value of their
services and yesterday authorized the
raising of mounted corps of farmers
