The bank statement this morning was
Enthusiastically and undeniably bad and the
condition of the New York banks at the
end of the week was quite as certainly an
unpleasant one. Ii is very gratifying under
the circumstances that the action OF the
stock market today was fairly strong with
one or two exceptions among the special
ties The showing of sustaining power
made after the statement appeared was en-
tireiy satisfactory. The important people
do not believe that the end Of the stock
market has come and that prices of securi-
ties are doomed TO tumble because the i'm
mense business activity of the country this
autumn has required more money than was
at first thought likely. Ii is not worth
while predicting what will be the course of
the market in the immediate future be-
cause the manipulators have too much
swing over short periods. but it Is safe
to say that the Vanderbilts, the Goulds, the
Standard Oil interests, and the other i'm
portant people will not be persuaded to sell
out their stocks. They are the people that
have the greater portion of the standard
securities at the present time.

The showing made by the banks in tn .ir

The showing made by the banks in tn ir
statement about met the common expec-
tations. The decrease in actual cash
amounted to s4,2o0000, which was well in
line with the preliminary estimates. The
loan accounts showed reduction of 81
Isl ,OG0. which, together with the decrease
in cash. caused lowering in deposits of
s11 1067. .0O0. As a result of the latter
change and the loss in cash. surplus re-
serves decreased s2,450 900, and the banks
cash holdings are now s2,7SS,000 below the
legal requirements.
The statement as noted was not surprise
to persons acquainted with the monetary
situation. although perhaps there was some
disappointment that the loan account don't
show a greater contraction than appeared.
1t was generally believed in Wall Street to-
day that there had been a much larger
transfer of loans to extra clearing house
sources than was shown in todays state
ment of the average balance, which, as is
always the case, was an Independent ref1ec-
ton of existing conditions. The stock mar
ket weakened after the publication of the
statement on apprehension that the condi-
tions disclosed would result in more strin-
gent money market next week.

The statement of the banks was rs fol-
lows: Reserves decreased. 81 ,456, 200; loans
decreased. s7.151. 100: specie decreased,
1886. 900; legals decreased 81 $50. 500: de-
posits decreased, 81, ,067 200; circulation in
creased, S154, 200. 1t will be seen that the
statement is in reality worse than that OF
the previous week in the fact that more
cash has been lost. The banks called in a
large block of their loans and this pre-
vented reserves from decreasing quite as
much as they did before. The reserves in
the banks now are nearly $4,000, 900 below
the legal requirements. 1t is to be remem
bered. however. that exchange both with
London and with the interior is more in
favor with New York than it has been for
some time past. This may quite likely re-
suit in importations of gold from London
and a flow of the metal from the interior
also In addition to this feature of the
situation it is not improbable. in view Of
the outlook. that Secretary Gage may
change his mind with regard TO helping the
banks.

FAMOUS BOYS.

A Swedish boy fell out Of a window
and was severely hurt, but with clench-
ed lips, he kept back the cry Of pain.
The king Gustavus Adolphus, who saw
the fall, prophesied that the boy would
make a man for an emergency, and 80
he did, for be became the famous Gen
eral Bauer.
A woman fell off the dock In Italy.
She was fat and frightened. No one Ct
the crowd of men dared to jump in
after her; but q boy struck the water
almost as soon as she, and managed to
keep her up until stronger arms got
hold Of her. Everybody said the boy
was very daring, very kind, very
quick, but also very reckless, for he
might have been drowned. The boy
was Garibaldi, and if you will read his
life you will fnd these were his traits
all through-that he was so alert that
nobody could tell when he would make
an attack with his red shirted soldiers;
so indiscreet sometimes as to make his
fellow patriots wish he was in Guinea,
but so brave and magnanimous that all
the world, except tyrants, loved to
hear and talk about him.
A boy used to crush the flowers and
get their c~olors, and painted the white
side of his fathers cottage in TyroI
with all sorts of pictures, which the
mountaineers gszsd at as wonderful.
He was the great artist Titan.
An old painter watched a little fellow
who amused himself making drawings
Of his pots and brushes, and easel and
stool, said: THAT boy will beat me
some day" So he did, for he was Mi
chael Angelo.
A German boy was reading q blood
and thunder novel. Right in the midst
of it he said to himself: "Now this will
never do. I get too much excited over
it; / can't study 80 we'll after it. So
here goes |" and he flung the book into
the river. He was FIchte, the great
G-rman philosopher. Southern Pres
byterian.

Man and woman, horse and COW,
Dog and cat we're after him now,
But none could run as fast as he,
And over his shoulder he called in glee

But a wolf crept out of the woods at
last,
And wolves. he knew. could run so
fast,
Yet he hurried on, and bravely cried,
Just as the wolf bounded up by his

GRACE BEFORE MEAT.

In the East End of London q com
pany of Oxford men are engaged in an
interesting religious and reformatory
work among the degraded poo- Of the
metropolis. They live in one OF the
worst sections of the town, mingle
daily with working people, and en-
deavor to elevate their social condition
by educating and entertaining them
by lectures, concerts, debates and sim
liar means. Once in awhile they send
parties Of laboring men to Oxford on
a day excursion, to be entertained
there and to be shown the sights.
One day a company Of this kind,
made up of poor but deserving men,
was AIKEN to Oxford by an early train.
1t was met at the station by two or
three university men in sympathy with
the movement, and conducted to the
principal colleges.
The guests were delighted with every
thing they saw; and since they had ex
perienced guides they had glimpses of
all the most interes ling buildings,
~qIadrangIes and gardens - the q Iaint
university town. Probably there is
not in all England a town which can
rival Oxford in fascination and charm
for rich or poor, for the educa-ed or
the ignorant.
at nighttall there was what was
called "a high tea" for the East
Enders' in a large nall. 1t was a sim
pie but hearty supper served by the
Oxford committee, with everything
done to make their guests comfortable.
When the men had taken their seats,
there was q pause, during which they
looked at the chairman of the commit
tee at the head of the table beto g tax
ing up knife or fork.
That worthy man Suddenly became
conscious that he was expected to say
grace before the meal. He was not a
religious man, although interested in
the humane work or improving the
condition Of the poor. He was greatly
embarrassed and grew red In the
face.
Il see what you want" he STAN
mered, but / e have said grace
in my life. 1 don't know the words.
You must excuse me-"
The company stared at the blushine
Oxford man.. He was a university
student, who had been living and work
ing for years at a great seat of learning,
yet he did not feel that ne could say
grace before a mea.!
The E sst Enders" did not under
stand it, and were unwilling to make
a start or the supper without some
kind of blessing.
Excuse me, sir" said a burly work
iugman at the head of the table, ''bul
1 think We should have a better appe
title if we sang a hymn, or something
of the sort"
Then the men scrambled to their feet
and without ~hesitationg sang the Dox
ology. In a moment they wore a
work with knife. fork and spoon, anc
a hearty, merry meal they made of il
After a short breathing spell they
shook hands with their entertainers
and set o1E for the station 20 return &
