New York Clearing House Banks

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-The Financier
says:
1.-The surplus reserve of the New York
clearing house hanks. to all intents and
purposes, was practically wiped out by
the operations Of the week ending Sept. g.
The city institutions are loaned to the
limit, and the loss of $10,51 900 in cash,
which is an amount larger than the ex-
cess reserve reported for the previous
week., was made possible only by heavy
contraction in loans The reduction of
over $15,OOOOOO in deposits lessened the
reserve liability by over three and three.
quarter millions, SO hat'despftee the posi-
tior in which the banks find Themselves
the situation has been ably met.
I'm many ways present monetary con-
ditlons are anomalous. With reserves
lower than at any time since 1898, money
here has not exceeded an average of 4
per cent, and there seems to be no trouble
in securing accommodations. The eX-
PLANTATION is found in the outside loaning
at this center. Despite the fall of do
nestle exchange rates to a point that in
dictates a continuation of the outward
movement New York is being visited reg
ularly by Western bankers, who are in
vesting their available SURPRISES in gilt
edged securities, Or putting out idle
funds in other directions here.
"Since July 1 the New York banks have
lost about $50, 1000, 900 in cash, and they
are now facing a period when further
drains are to be expected. 1t stands to
reason that the fulfllment of these de-
mands is impossible unless loans are
heavily contracted or new supplies are
found The logical relief Is to be found
in gold imports, which in past seasons
have been always looked forward to.
Whether the same custom will prevail
this year cannot be stated, but circum-
stances certainly favor that prediction.
at is not s~impossible that treasury
operations may be adjusted and afforded
some relief. Looking at the situation in
broad light, however, it Is described as
interesting rather than critical. The
country is not suffering from a lack of
funds, even if New York reserves do in
dictate it. The prosperity of the country
has resulted in much wider distribution
of funds than ever known before. and
this explains in large part New York's
exhaustion of banking surplus today"

Ex-senator John NJ Palmer said, among
other things:
The Democratic party is a war party.
1t is not peace party for the sake of
peace. 1t committed its first ~blunder in
bellion, and if it now make the Spanish
war and the manner of it's conduct an is
sue, it will be defeated.
No party can be successful before the
American people which would require our
armies to abandon Cuba, Porto Rico or
the Philippines. 1t would be regarded as
q humiliation of American arms to aban-
don either. Dewey, by his destruction Of
the Spanish fleet in Manila bay, involved
the country in unexpected strife, and the
treaty of peace which followed 1t imposed
upon the country responsibilities which it
cannot avoid.
Imperialism and "nilitarism," as oft

or effect from mere repetition. "Ameri-
