Associated Banks Statement.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S-The Financier says:
The statement Of the New York clearing house
banks, Issued Thursday, September Is, covers
the average operations of the preceding four
days only. The showing is not favorable, but
prospects indicate that the current exhibit will
be the last TO convey evidences of the Hquda-
ton which has been a MARKED feature of the
situation since the opening Of June. The main
feature of the statement is the loss OF TOUR
and a half millions in cash, mostly in the
form of legals. The knows business OF the
week TO date did not call Cor decrease of
that magnitude. The banks :met the contrac-
tion in large part by decrei, sing their loans
The loss in that item has been $,l52. lVV
Deposits show a loss of S1:S226, 200, which is
rather more than the changes in cash and
deposits called for, but the contraction lessened
reserve requirements by over three millions
and the remainder, 81. .239, ,250, came out of
the surplus reserve. bringing the excess cash
in banks down to s1.714 $50. The next state
ment of the banks will not appear until Octo-
Der 6, and the ensuing nine or ten days Will
probably show improvements. so far as
the New York banks are concerned. AS g.
result of the holidays in New York amount
OF money not easy to calculate will come into
the banks here, and while this Is an uncertain
Its effect will be TO increase the current sup
plies of cash. The gold engaged for import
will not arrive in time to figure in the next
statement, but the imports and the rising ma
tional bank circulation figures show at least
the general trend of the situation and what
may be expected in the near future. The de-
mands for remittance to the interior not
increasing and while interior banks have doubt
less loaned heavily here it is not expected
that these funds will operate to the disad-
vantage of local institutions once the pressure
is over. At about this season every year re-
serves in New York begin to recuperate and
1t is only natural to look for the usual recovery
from this time on. Unless all signs fail, there
fore II may be set down that the critical
point in the fall money movement has been
weathered. This does not mean, necessarily
that money rates Will strike exceptionally
low rate soon.

Thu Confederate Reunion.

Ever indication is that the reunion
in this city will be the most satisfactory
in the history Of the United Confederate
Veterans. More money has been sub
scribed than in any of the other reunion
cities, and the end is not yet. 1t is
the intentionof the gentlemen in charge
of this gathering to have every visitor
leave the city walking advertisement
of the thorough manner in which
Charleston accomplishes its undertak-
ings, socially and commercially. Nearly
$l5 600 have been raised, aud the sources
of contribution have by no means
been exhausted. In addition to the
funds secured for the entertainment Of
the veterans the city has expended over
$50 900 in the erection Of the hand
soonest auditorium in the Southern
States. There is another very signifi
cant Indication of the general interest
in the reunion, and that is Of all the
money raised not $500 have come from
people or places outside Of the city OF
Charleston, and not a cent of the fund
of the entertainment Of Veterans is the
result of municipal appropriation, but
represents the patriotic offerings Of the

Work in wireless Telegraphy

Extensive experiments with wireless
telegraphy are being conducted by the
Signal Corps. Of which Gen. Greedy is
chief in Washington. Several officers
and engineers of the department are de-
voting practically all their time to
work in this line. and it is hoped that
very satisfactory results will be attained.
If this should be the case the work
would be pushed on at once to wider
fields.
The officers of the department have
received explicit orders not to give out
information as to the progress of their
experiments This, one Of the superiors
explained, was not because of any Sc
crecy connected with the matter, but
because, in the present stage Of pro-
ceedings, no one could tell whether or
not anything would be accomplished.
The officer remarked that perhaps the
Signal Corps might soon send messages
TO Fort Myer without wire, and per-
hans only as far as the Washington
Monument. but the Signal Corps had
as vet but begun the experiments and
could not prophesy even as to the prob
ability of results.

The Secretary Of War Monday issued

there have been seven military depart

Under the orders issued Monday the
number of departments is reduced to
five. the two eliminated being the De-

Brig. Gen. Bates The Department Of
Pinar del Rio'is consolidated with the
Department Of the Province of Havana,
and Brig. Gen. Lee, now commanding
the latter department, is assigned to the
commend of the two departments thus
combined.

ment of Cuba.
Orders have been issued to Gen.
Brooke to discharge men in the regular
army in Cuba who had enlisted only
for the war with Spain. Considerable
complaint has been made because these
men were not allowed II return home,
and those whose applications were re.
fused have interested United States
Senators and others to procure their
discharge.
