reserve reported for the previous week
was made possible only by heavy con-
traction in loans. M
The reduction of over s15000,0 600 in de-
posts lessened the reserve liabilities by
over &c. $50 600, so that despite the tlght-
ened position in which banks find them
selves, the situation has been ably met.
In many ways present monetary condl-
lions are anamalous With reserves low

has not exceeded an average or 4 per
cent. and there seems to be no trouble IN
securing accommodations. The expiana :
ton is found in the outside loaning at this
center.
Despite the fall of domestic exchange
rates to a point that indicates 'continu-
alton of the outward movement, New
York is being visited regularly by west
ern bankers who are investing their avail
able SURPRISES in gilt-edged securities or

Their drains are to be expected. It stands
to reason that the fulfillment of these de-

heavily contracted or. new supplies are

cate it. The prosperity of the country has
resulted in a much wider distribution of
funds than ever known before, and this
explains in large part New York's ex-
haustion of banking surplus today.

CONTEST OVER A WILL.
Scramble In Kansas City For the Es-
tate Of a millionaire.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 9-Tfe foun-
dation has been laid for long contest
over the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES estate left
by the late Wilson Waddingha1n who
died IN New York about three months
ago. Mr.. Waddingham formerly lived
in Kansas City. and his property in
cluded. vast tracts of land in the west
and southwest. His will, filed here a.
few weeks ago, named David T. Beals
and G. H. T. Lewis, Kansas City bank
ers, as executors. This will was exc
cuted in 1892 and provided for the pay
ment of $4,000 annually to his widow,
and literally remembered many rela-
tives
These executors were greatly sur
prised yesterday when local attorneys,
filed a revocation of the will and asked
for the appointment of Cassius NJ. Gill
bert, who has been in charge of the
Waddingham interests here. as execu-
tor. The revocation was dated in 1896
and had been entrusted to a Philadel-
phia attorney.
The revocation makes no provision
whatever for the distribution of the
vast estate. L. simply revokes the WILL
One of Mr. Waddingham's sons-in-law
is chief justice of the supreme court
in New Mexico, and it is believed he
will be called into the case by the
heirs
Mr.. Waddingiam has been married
twice, and there are many claimants.
In a letter the Philadelphia attorney
quotes the aged millionaire as having
said of his relatives:
"They will get the money anyhow,
and if the courts decide the matter,
there will be none to bear me ill-will
1t will be better way to settle the
matter than I can select"

has been downward for several DAYS and
this sort of news easily put the balance
of trading on the selling side The SELL

the demand was SO light that prices de-
clined steadily, weakness being especially
marked in deferred futures The market
soon got under puts. and at that point
became steady under fair buying against
those privileges, put did not show signs
OF any reaction until late in the session.
when the report of the verdict in the
DreyfuS case was posted and the ex-
element in Paris caused covering by
ficient to bring prices back to about YES
terday's closing point. The market was
affected in bearish way by the increase
OF 10000 bushels in the European visible
for August, compared with a decrease
last year of 100000 bushels The big
Russian stocks, 900 bushels, also came
as a surprise TO traders and was respon-
sible for some liquidation. Toward the

THE NAVY WILL HELP.
To Participate In ALI Future Opera
tions In the Philippines.

Washington, Sept General Otis
has been instructed, in framing his
plan of campaign for the dry season to
allow for the fullest participation of
the naval forces now in the Philippines,
and as soon as he has been heard from
the necessary orders will go forward to
the naval commanders to cooperate
with the army to an extent not before
contemplated.
The naval officers have always been
willing to do this, but they have been
restrained in their operations by an
indisposition to interfere in any quar-
ter with the plans of the military COM
mander. The ships will undertake to
capture any of the ports now in insur-
gent possession that may be desired by
the army, and also to hold them in
definitely, thus making it possible to
open the railroad in Luzon from the
northern extremity, while in Cavite
province, with the large force Of ma
rines now on hand, it is believed the
navy can undertake to relieve the SOL
diers stationed there and make avail
able considerable force for other OPP
erationS.

Following is the report of the free
kindergarten for the year ending June
2, 1899:
This kindergarten has been held
throughout the school year in the Web
ster school in a room given for that
purpose by the school board. The aver
age attendance for the first half year
was thirty-five children. The last half
year the kindergarten was moved into
a smaller room on account of the over
crowded condition of the building. Some
children had to be sent kone. as it was
impossible TO accommodate so many
Over 100 children have been turned
away for lack of room. The kindergar-
ten in charge of Miss Ruby Wells has
had five teachers under her from the
university training school. Good and
efficient work has been done
The committee in charge wishes
TO thank those who have so
generously aided the work, both with
their money and sympathetic interest.

ten shows contributions as follows:
