NEW YoRK,s FINANCIAL CONDITION.

NEW YORK. May 2O-The Financier says:
The heavy liquidation which marked the Stock
Exchange operations of the week, particularly
al the opening is largely responsible for the
reduction of 81 243, 900 shown in the loan item
of the current statement of the New York
clearing house banks. The reserve liability,
owing to the slight change in deposits, re-
manned at about the same figure reported for
the previous week. so that the increase OF
81, 6s4 coo in cash for the most part went to
swell the reserve, the surplus rising to $34.-
631. 525, the highest point reached since the
middle of last February. In fact the various
items corresponding to the statement made at
that time. The present accumulation OF
funds in the clearing house institu-
lions is the largest ever recorded or
course the recent rapid increase has been due
to the settlement of the Spanish indemnity
which involved a transfer or twenty millions,
but aside from that the interior banks have
been sending money to this center and the
rise in domestic exchange does not indicate
that the movement is over by any means
The piling up of money here and the conse-
quent lowering of interest rates affect ster-
ling exchange but it is thought that quota
tions will be kept well below the exporting
point The peculiarly intrenched position of
the Treasury to regulate interest rates is not
TO be overlooked in this particular. AS far
as significance can be attached to the cur
rent statement, the final payment of the Span
ish fund, the stock market liquidation and
the trend of money in the interior are the only
factors TO be considered. The totals are about
as expected and there is nothing to warrant
expectation of heavy changes for some weeks
to come.

another account IL to the sffsct that on
Saturday he received In La0range con-
siderable sum In payment for some pulp
wood which he had been hauling to thar
town this winter. II is supposed that .
man or men who saw him receive the
money followed him home from LsGrange
and murdered him In order to get the
cash.
Persons who passed BY the house at
eight O'Clock on Saturday night heard
sounds as Of an angry alteration In the
houss and others saw two men In the
doorway OF the barn, apparently holding
an animated dispute 1t Is also said that
Ellingwood had had trouble with man
whom he had employed this winter In
chopping spool wood, and 1t Is supposed
that this wood chopper Is the guilty man,
or that at least he was one Of the parties
who committed the crime. The rifie
which was found near the body was
evidently left there for the purpose OF
giving the appearance Of q suicide, but
the condition In which the weapon was
found betrays that as merely . ruse OF the

and will take immediate steps In the
matter. As yet the sheriff Of the county
has not sent any officers to the scene, but
officers will 60 to Bradford today. At

few miles from the scene Of the murisr.
on Sunday. but heard nothing Of the
crime Detective Hartman Of Bangor
left for Bradford this afternoon.
1t Is supposed that the murderer OF
murderers ut flrst attacked Ellingwood,
hoping to overpower him, and that when
he resisted. probably with his rife, they
killed him with the pickaxs. shooting
him to make sure Of the job, and then set
fire to the house. The fact that Elling-
woods body was found 10 the yard is ex-
planned by some one, the theory that he
was not quite dead when tho robbers left
him. and that they, having set the houss
on fire be crawled out OF doors to escape
the flames. Others hold to the belief that
light took place In the yard and that
Ellingwood fell where he was found, the
