THE nominal editor quoted statis-
tics last night to prove that the
Democratic party is dead beyond
hope of resurrection. The 500 or
more trusts will please take notice.
What's the use contributing millions
of dollars to the Hanna campaign
fund for the purpose of fighting a
dead enemy?

NEW YoRHs FINANCIAL CONDITION.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The F1nancier says.
The New York banks added 50, 6S4, 700 to their
cash holdings last week. making a gain of
about S. 500. 900 since April g. Within the same
period reserve requirements owing to the
shrlnkage Of SO, ,565 700 in deposits, decreased
about &, Coo, Geo. so that the excess reserve has
expanded SIS, 0OO 900 in the comparatively short
space mentioned. This change. which, of
course, tends to an easier condition OF the
money market has been brought about In part
through the resumption of the interior move
ment in this direction and by the liquidation
in loans, which has been a choice feature of
the statements for several weeks past. The
loan item discloses the fact that since the
opening Of April contraction of between Sl9,
00O, 600 and S20 900, COO has taken place. OBJ
viously, in the face of a showing like this,
the outlook regards money rates becomes
very much more settled. and as the factors
which make for expansion IN reserves
still prominent the future holds out the prom
ise OF still easier conditions The current state
ment, however, when studied in detail presents
some anomalous features. Thus. insttu-
ton, which has strong foreign connections, has
decreased its loans no less than s., 900, ,000 and
its deposits and specie accounts show CORE
spending changes. This may have occurred
in the usual course of business, but the sterling
loans made in this center fortnight since
