Trouble OF New York Banks.

In reference to the diminishing re-
serves in New York banks, the American
Banker of that city, reaching here yes
terday, stated that money on call has
reached the interest rate of 8 per cent
at times this month, and that on Sep
TENDER 18th the banks had quit buying
paper, and were charging from 5 to 6
per CEN on six month loans. The call
rate yesterday was 6 per cent.
After stating these acts the Banker
asked %ominously: "Suppose the reserves
should 60 below the legal limit, what of
it? What are the reserves here for any
way if not for use?"
Naturally this SOFT of a suggestion
from the organ of the New York banks
is not likely to better the situation
should it reach outside customers who
still have funds in New York banks.
That the New York banks are in a
pinch is due to several causes, one of
which is that depositors from the out
side are finding uses for their funds in
these times Of prosperity are not afraid
to make loans and investments of money,
that they were willing to have in the
big city banks for safe keeping when
times were risky.
Wall Street has been doing business
with cheap money that the banks had,
but as the funds are being withdrawn
for more substantial business purposes
by the owners outside of New York, the
stock operators are coming to grief, and
those who are able to borrow have to
pay higher rates of interest than have
been known there in a long time. The
banks of course take care of the mer-
chants first, among their customers.
Money is not tight" anyH here Ok
cept in the cities where stock gambling
calls for funds from the banks.

Philadelphia sets the. Pace.

Statistics for August show that more
building was done in Philadelphia dur
ing that month than in any other city
in the United States. Philadelphia
erected ITO buildings, New York SIG,
Brooklyn 472, Cleveland 35s, Kansas
City $40, Chicago, 314, Minneapolis Sol,
Washington 221, Louisville 100, Atlanta
1s4, Detroit ITO, Pittsburg TT, Indian
apolis $50, Buffalo 1877, Milwaukee 1876,
New Orleans 121, Denver 1870, St. Paul
ia, Omaha SO and Allegheny 60. New
York, Chicago, Brooklyn, Buffalo, Mil
waukee, New Orleans, Louisville, In
dianapolis, Allegheny and Atlanta show
a decline in the number of building
erected in August, compared with those
of last August. AS has been noticed il
| previous months Chicago is tagging be
hind in building operations, while SLOW
Philadelphia is keeping at the head o
the list. But the race is not always tt

Bryan Becomes Wary.

There are those who have not be-
lieved that Col. Bryan would learn to
keep still with his ''to un" racket. But
he is learning. Recently the chairman
of the state Democratic committee of
New Jersey wrote to the gentleman of
Nebraska asking advice as what issue it
would be best to make In the New
Jersey state campaign, what sort OF mo-
lasses to catch New Jersey skeeturs.
The Democrats are opposed to free sill
yer, and the Nebraskan lowered the flag
by advising that the party, in the in
terest of harmony, should array the
rusts, which feel safe enough in that
state so long as they pay the price, adj
vocate an income tax, which would
catch the New York ~millionaires who
sleep in New Jersey but spend their
money in New York, and urge the cleo
tion of senators by direct vote so that
every Democrat who knows he can not
secure a seat from a legislature for
lack of the w~herewithal, but who thinks
he is popular enough for election, will
whoop up the party. Nary a word about
free silver did the letter of advice con
tain. Col. Bryan will get to be a
pretty smart politician if he lives long
enough.

Pension Commissioner Evans, against
whom a hubbub was raised when he fol-
lowed the pension laws strictly, has
made a report of business transacted in
his office which shows why pension at
torneys have been stirring up a revolt
by telling old soldiers that they would
b. able to receive larger pensions were
1t not for Evans. The fees which were
allowed attorneys in the last fiscal year
amounted to $475. 961 as against $3.50, 900
the previous year. Bogus claims have
been turned down and excessive charges
cut off. That is where the shoe pinched.
But the effort to have Evans discharged
failed because the cutlery was raised by
deceived soldiers who have now been en-
lightened an' because the president
could not be influenced to part with an
excellent officer to satisfy an unwarrant-
ed demand.

The TERRITORIAL PRESS.
INSTITUTE FOR SAN JUAN.
Aztec IndeX,)

We have a section peculiar to itself
here in San Juan county, as well in
matters of distance. accessibility and
transportation facilities as in topo-
graphy and climate. Methods of crop
raising which are highly successful
somewhere else, may not be adapted
to this particular region at all. The
adjoining" agricultural communities
here are mostly several hundred miles
distant, with mountain ranges inter
vening, and this isolation and the differ
ence in elevation, soil and rainfall multi
fies all outside demonstrations along
certain lines and renders an inter
mingling and exchange of ideas on
the part of onr farmers more than ever
| desirable.
One Of the questions a farmers insti-
| tute would be called on to discuss is that
of some method of Graduating the cod
lin moth, if such a thing is possible,
and preventing it's infection of those
orchards now free from it. A farmers
meeting could spend its whole time on
this subject alone and without wasting
a single moment. Many other matters
scarcely less important to the county
could be discussed. Superintendent
Mead, of the experimental station,
would probably attend and contribute
to the discussion. The main thing is
for the farmers to interest themselves.
If a few of the representative ranchmen
| will 90 to work in earnest, an institute
| or association is assured. There are
many of them who, when the proper
time comes, can present practical means
and measures for the proper handling
of any problem that confronts the far
mers, the fruit growers or the stockmen
of the county.

Texas and the Oil Trust.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Standard Oil company, or its subordin-
ate agent, the Waters-Pierce COM
pany, is selling oil in Texus for about
half that it charges in New Mexico, the
state of Texas is making war on the
trust that has in many ways defied and
outraged the laws. Proceedings we're
begun years ago and have been carried
to the Supreme court of the United
States by the defendant because the
state revoked the permit of the company
to do business in Texas, issued ten years
ago. This permit expired last July and
final refusal by the state to renew has
just been made because the company is
a trust that violates Texas law. The
company is still doing business, how
ever.

THE GOVERNORS ADDRESS.
Delivered At the Opening Of the Territorial
Pair

Fair.
The opening address delivered at the
territorial fair at Albuquerque by Gov
ernor Otero was as follows:
"Mr. President, Mr.. Mayor, Ladies
and Gentlemen:-Again are the people
of our territory indebted to the enter
prising and public spirited citizens of
Albuquerque and Belnalillo county, for
an opportunity to display to the world,
by way of a territorial fair, some of the
products, %esource and capacities of
| this section of the United States, and to
show the progress already made by its
sturdy inhabitants, in their development.
every year for the last eighteen years
| the liberal citizens of the progressive
city have most cheerfully and willingly
assumed that no light burden of prepar-
ing and conducting an annual territorial
fair, and their efforts to that end, have
| from the first been crowned with marked
success.
"These annual gatherings, more than
anything else perhaps, have served to
arouse and maintain throughout the ter
ritory, that active interest in its future
development which all should feel, and
which but for them, might well have
tagged.
"These unsurpassed displays and ex-
hibits are fast demonstrating the vast
possibilities of the territory, agricultu.
rally and otherwise, as we'll as it's mar
velous wealth in the precious metals and
other valuable commercial minerals.
Cup to this time, as l am informed,
each annual fair has been an improve
ment upon any which preceded, and al
though | have not yet seen all the dis
plays and exhibits Of this year, I an as
sured that they are quite as attractive,
if not more so, than any formerly made.
l have seen enough, however, to con-
vince me that the progressive citizens of
Albuquerque, have now as ever hereto
fore, shown themselves equal to the
work undertaken, and in the name of
the whole people of the territory, l thank
them for what they alone have done on
this occasion, in the interest of all.
"They have not only provided conven-
lent and ample accommodations for ex-
hibits of whatever kind, within the city
or its precincts, but by adopting the
modern system of street exhibitions and
parades, have brought, where possible,
every exhibit to the immediate notice of
visitors, without forcing them to traverse
long distances as in the past, to see
them, but have provided within short
walks Of the city, various amusements
for them during their stay.
"They have spared no pains to inter-
est, entertain and amuse their visitors,
and again l thank them for their liber-
atty and hospitality as here manifested.
Let me therefore conclude with the sim
pie announcement, that the animal ter
ritorial fair of New Mexico, for 1899, Is
now open, and its exhibits submitted for
your Inspection"

1t is estimated that the Waters-Pierce
Oil company has about 81, 900, 900 in
vested in Texas and, as it practically
controlled the entire sale of oil within
the state, The revocation of its authority
to do business is of vast Importance to
it, to say nothing of the other important
features the matter presents. Pending
the decision of the United States Su-
preme court upon the constitutionality
of the Texas antitrust law, the state
seems to have the whip hand in the con
test. Those who have been prominent
in urging the vigorous enforcement of
the antitrust statute are pointing with
much satisfaction to the result obtained.
On the other hand, it is earnestly con-
tended that the statute will not stand
the test of constitutionality when re-
viewed by the Supreme court of the
United States. In view of the con-
troversy on the subject of antitrust
legislation and whether it should be en-
acted by the states of the federal gov
eminent, the outcome of these cases
possesses general interest. The Texas
state authorities express confidence in
the unfolding of the law and are claim
ing the first effective victory in the anti
trust war.

The Republican convention of the
county of Arapahoe was held in Denver
a few days ago. Now opposition papers
seem to be unhappy and trying to stir
up strife because the Wolcott manage
ment did not give nominations to pro-
digal sons who had returned from chas-
ing huSks at the hands of the fusion
party, composed of silver Republicans,
Democrats and Populists. Senator
Wolcott doubtless believes in putting
the offices into the hands of men who
do not waver instead of offering them
as bait for tickle fish. 1t is the honest
thing to do in politics.

because outside correspondents were

FOR STOCK STOLEN BY INDIANS.
Colonel Alexander Majors Files a Claim
With the Government.

Colonel Alexander Majors, the veteran
plainsman and freighter, may yet re-
ceive $4,000 from the government as
payment for 600 head of oxen which
we're driven off by the Indians Al years
ago.
Colonel Majors has been pushing the
claim for many years. He is So years
old and is said to have the clearest mem
DRY of any pioneer in the west.
Yesterday w. II. Robson, from Wash
ington, took the %colonel's deposition in
the case, and the attorney thinks the old
man has a good chance for establishing
his claim. The de%predations occurred
in the region of Fort Union, N. M.
Colonel Majors was at that time a mem
Der of the %freighting firm of Russell,
Majors & Waddell. The firm was the
greatest corporation operating on the
plains, and the government paid it 49,
900, 900 in one year for contracts carried
out The firm had at one time in its
employ 10000 men and owned 20,
horses and mules and $4,000 oxen, be-
sides thousands of wagons and a vast
amount of miscellaneous supplies. Den
