S EN- ATE AND DISTRIC T
LEGAL Legislation Being Prepared in the
Upper House of Congress
Senator McComas May Go on the Dis
trict Committee-New Code
by Judge Cox.

The business of the District of Columbia
at the Senate end of the Capitol is now
under way. Senator Mcmillan will not be
here until the meeting of Congress, and it
is too early for members of the committee
to arrive in the city, but Mr.. Charles Moore.
clerk of the committee, is daily at his desk
making all preliminary arrangements posi-
Bile in order that the committee may be
able to promptly get to work as soon as
Congress meets. There will be two va
Cancies on the committee caused by the re-
tirement of Senators German and Faux
ner that will probably be filled before the
holidays. There is great deal of demand
that Senator McComas of Maryland should
have place on this committee because of
his interest in the affairs of the nearby
state he represents, but still more because
of mis- very extensive knowledge of local
affairs gained during the many years of
MS residence here as an associate justice
OF the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia.
His familiarity with the laws of the Dis
trict would be especially valuable because
the code of District laws prepared by Judge
Cox will be before Congress at the next
session in the form of a bill to be enacted
into law. If Senator McComas should go
on the District committee the republican
representation on that committee would be
increased, but there are so many reasons
why he should be selected that it is thought
likely that his services will be secured in
helping to look after the local affairs of
the District.
The New District Code.
During the recess of Congress the Dis
trict code prepared by Judge Cox has been
printed in pamphlet form, and as soon as
Congress meets it will be introduced in the
form of a bill, with such changes as have
been made to date. 1t is likely that the
code will be placed in the hands of a sub
committee of the District committee, and
that representatives of the District Bar AS
ISOLATION will be requested to go over the
bill with this subcommittee and indicate
what changes of law have been made in the
code, SO that the prOpriety of such changes
may be considered by the committee before
recommending the bill. Everything re-
lating to municipal government has been
eliminated from the code i'll the form it
will be introduced in Congress.

RONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn TO is i bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mousIy, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnaDle, and which are, in fact, re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
Judge by results, and bogus circula-
lions don't give them.

FINANCE and TRADE.

NEW YORK, October 2S.-The state
ment Of Associated Banks OF New
York City for the week ending October
rs, was Unexpectedly favorable in its
showing. Predictions. based on known
movements OF money. had been that
the banks would show a loss of some
thing like two millions In cash. In
stead of this the decrease was less than
one hundred thousand dollars, and as
deposits contracted s6,74O. 200, iessening
the reserve requirement s1,6S5,15o, the
surplus cash in banks was swelled to
s3,03S.525. This amount. small as II
seems in comparison with the usual
excess, is stgl the largest reported since
the opening Of September To what
extent the statement reflects the actual
condition of the banks can not be de-
termined. Certainly the known move
ment of money over the past six days
has not been in favor OF New York,
either on treasury or interior account,
and the sudden rise in call loans Fri
day does not seem consistent under the
circumstances. The interior is still
drawing on this center and the banks
have also lost to the treasury. The
banks, however, while they are strong
er in reserve than at the close of the
previous week, have recouped at the
expense of outstanding commitments,
loans having been contracted S4,766,9O0.
This process has been followed now
with but brief intermission for period
extending back to July, and the shrink
age from the high point of the year is
no less than ninety eight millions OF
dollars. On July s, when loans and de-
posits were at maximum, the excess
reserve was only five millions. How
the continuous drain in cash since that
time has been met is easily perceived.
The continuance of this method OF
meeting extraordinary demand is prob
ably nearing an end for the normal sea-
son for a return flow of money is at
hand If the bank averages are correct,
the crop demand is over, but there is
nothing more substantial on which to
base a statement that this demand has
ended. The truth of the matter is that
conditions this year are SO widely diff
ferent from those of former seasons
that previous experience can not be
used as a guide. The interior banks
are unusually strong in cash, and
while New York is the loaning center,
the supplies of money for the purpose
are forthcoming on demand from sec
tions which up to this year have not
entered into competition with the New
York institutions. While New York
shows an unparalleled falling off in
loans, official national bank figures
prove that the volume of loans the
country over is larger than ever.
