MONEY IS A PUZZLE.
De9rth of 1t Traced to Wonderful
Trade PrOsDerity


NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The New York
tnancier says: Despite the fact that
the associated banks of New York re-
duced their loan commitments by nearly
$o,ooo,OOC last week, and deposits by $12,-
2395OO, thus lowering reserve require
ments $3,059,000, the loss of S. 76O, 400 in
specie and legals caused q further drain
of 81, 525 on surplus reserves, bringing
that item to $3.50, 100, or only about $2 Co.,
600 in excess Of the lowest point touched
on month ago. Since that period the
banks, despite the manifest effort to re-
coup reserves, have lost at least $40, ,-000,-
OVO of cash holdings, although they have
gained 100000 excess surplus. This has
been accomplished by the contra ction of
nearly $40, 100000 of loans and $52, ,0OO, 600 Of
deposits, an unusually heavy liquidation
at this period The treasury demands
have been responsible for the steady loss
1t is & question how much longer the
present conditions can prevail. The dis
bursements by the treasury for August
interest and the receipts CT specie from
the West, from Australia and the IIlon-
dixie, may partly relieve the situation
but at the threshold Of the crop season
the situation is exciting serious consid-
Grafton.
That statement perhaps does not reflect
other than transitory conditions At any
rate there seems to be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning accommodations at this CENTER
and money rates are comparatively easy
The loss of specie reported is due to
shipments to Montreal on account of the
bank failures there, and receipts from
other centers are known to have been
large enough to counteract this loss, even
though the statement does not show it.
Interest in the situation from now on
centers in the demand for crop money,
and the ability of interior banks to meet
it. Any Grain OH New York is bound to
bring relief in the way of gold imports,
for exchange is now declining in a man
ncr that foreshadows such a conclusion.
Still the season may be tided over with
out this recourse. The fact that the
dearth Of money can be traced to the
wonderful trade prosperity of the coun-
try puts q different complexion on the
situation than has been the case in past
years, when uncertainty and doubt pre-
vailed

BIG DAMAGES ASKED.
Bankers Life Association, of St.
Paul. AIIege a Conspiracy.

Bankers Life Association, of st.
Paul, AIIege a Conspiracy.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. 5.-United
States District Attorney Milton c.
Phillips, of Oshkosh, Attorney Francis
Bioodgood Jr., and Edmund D. Carter,
an insurance agent, are accused, in a
complaint filed al the United States court
today, of an attempt to wreck the Bankers
Life Association of st. Paul one of the
largest and most powerful assessment in
surance companies in the world.
This was to be accomplished, according
to the complaint, in securing the appoint
ment of a receiver or receivers to wind
up the affairs of the association. The re-
cent proceedings before the United States
grand jury when an Indictment was re-
turned, but promptly quashed by Judge
Seaman, is alleged in the complaint to
have been a part of the conspiracy, and
the complaint charges that United States
District Attorney Phillips was the agent
through whom the defendants are alleged
to have worked.
It is further claimed in the complaint
that since the indictment was quashed
there has been a continued effort to Sc
cure another indictment before another
grand jury. Because of the alleged con-
spiracy and the damage which is claimed
to have resulted therefrom, the plaintiff,
the Bankers Life association, demands
$4,000 damages.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Postmaster Charles
L. Gordon said today regarding the prop
osition to invite Admiral Cervera to the
ceremonies attendant upon laying the cor
ner stone of the new federal building on
Chicago day, Oct. 8:
'The committee of arrangements had no
thought of inviting anybody outside of
the United States, with the exception of
President Diaz, of Mexico, and his cab
met: the governor general of Canada. Mr..
Laurier, premier of Canada, and q few
prominent Canadian officials A gentle
man connected with the autumn festival
association made the suggestion that Ad-
miral Cervera be invited, but he was in
formed that the committee could not en-
tertain such proposition because it had
been decided months ago that no other
persons outside of this country, except
those have already referred to, should
be invited. That gentleman is responsible
for the announcement in the press that
Admiral Cervera was to receive an invi-
tation. The invitations will be sent to
$4,000 persons, and Will be limited to the
United States, Canada and Mexico, and
to only few prominent persons in the
two last named countries"

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-The Norde Deutsche

at The Hague, in which it says:
The extension of the Geneva conven-
tion to naval warfare, and a detailed def
milton of wars and usages of war, consti-
tute great advance in civilization
The paper adds:
1T was the important duty of the gov
ernments to see that the arbitration and
mediation duties by misapplication do not
cause the dangers they are intended to
avert. The tendency OF the conference to
minimize warfare is a valuable legacy TO
the coming century, and will bring last
ing glory to Emperor Nicholas"

VIII Consolidate Galleries

With a view to economy in operat-
ing the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company contemplates the
consolidation of several of it's large
collieries and the erection Of new
breakers. The present breakers at
Locust Gap and Locust Spring collier
les need replacing and a large, new
breaker, with a capacity of half a mil
lion tons annually, will be built to
replace these two old structures.
The same conditions apply at the
Kohinoor, Turkey Run and West Shen-
andoah collieries, and an immense
breaker is to be erected at Shenandoah
TO prepare the coal of these three
plants, the output of which is about
100000 tons per year. BY thus consoli-
dating their colieries and erecting
mammoth breakers of the latest and
most modern design, the company will
effect a large saving in the cost of
operation and greatly improve is Ca
cilities for meeting competitors in the
anthracite trade.
