VALUABLE DIME.
Offer of $500 fort Return of a
Marked Dime.

From the Boston Globe.
There is a standing offer Of $500 for
a marked silver dime of the issue of
1887, and a local firm of lawyers hold
certified check -sfor that amount,
which will be paid 6ver to the person
presenting the desired coin.
The check was, DEPOSITED. by a client
of the firm who 'spent the 10-cent piece
by accident, and7tWho, in order to get
it back again, issr willing to pay the
possessor the handsome profit of $499-
90. Indeed, it may be said that the
check represents al profit Of its full
face value, as lther markings on the
coin constitute l4atGamutila ton which
would prevent it from passing current
unless the receiver happened to know
it's true worth. Ina that case he would
probably be willing. to waive his right
urder the law to refuse it.
The coin is described as bearing the
letters 81" and a certain series

DECREASE OF FUNDS
STATEMENT OF THE NEW YORK
CLEARING HOUSE SHOWS CON
SIDERABLE FALLING OFF
CAUSES ARE LEGITIMATE

Statement Reflects a CuImipation OF
Previous COnditions-Finan
of New Trusts Had Much to Do
With the Deposit Changes
Slight Advance In Rates VIII
Likely Bring Cash to New York
NEW YORK, March 4-The Ffnan-
cier says: The statement Of the New
York clearing house banks for the
week ended March 4 shows a fall Of
s5,756.775 in surplus reserve, bringing
the total excess cash to $24, 5S7. 125.
This Is a decrease of about 81, 900
since the closing week in January. In
the same time loans have expanded
$54,25O,C00 and deposits more than S53.-
100000. AS five weeks record this
advance has never been equalled. Had
the interior called for funds in the
usual volume. the present surplus re
serve would have been very much Less
than reported. Conditions, however,
are such that receipts until within
week or two have been sufficient to
counteract in large part the increase
in the reserve requirements.
Now that the movement from the
interior Is temporarily less, the con-
slant loan and deposit expansion Is
having it's full effect on the surplus
money on hand. But, when the full
scope of the operations of the past
month Is considered it is to be said
for the banks that they are making
a wonderfully strong showing. They
have met the demand for funds for
new trusts, financed the return of
American securities from Europe, sup
piled an unusually heavy stock ex-
change demand and absorbed the large
volume of paper incident to the pres
ent trade revival.
The current statement, while inter
esting in It's changes. must be regarded
as rejecting a elimination of previous
conditions. The reduction of S4,251, AGO
in specie is less than the $4,000 900 de-
crease reported by one bank and is
due to the smaller interior receipts and
operations with the subtreasury cover
ing the past ten days, the previous
weeks statement not having shown
these losses fully. The increase in
loans is heavier than expected. but in
this item, also, more than the cur
rent weeks business is included
The cash decrease operated to re
duce deposits and the total expansion
was only 1926. 700 This is less than
the increase of $4,000, 900 reported, by
the Chase National. showing a real
decrease on the part of the remaining
sixty-two banks.
The financing of new trusts had
much to do with the deposit changes.
The slight advance in rates which
the statement forecasts will probably
bring a great deal of money to New
York within the next two weeks. -s,..-.

err, who was arrested last week, charged
with having swindled the Central Ma

worthless notes, was again arraigned
in the police court today. At the re-
quest of Rothchild's counsel, eXamina-
ton was postponed until the 18th in
slant In addition to the Central Ma
tional Bank officers, representatives
were in court from the Aston Place
Bank, who claim losses through Roth
child to the amount of $4,000: the Ma
tional Bank of America, from whom
the defendant is alleged to have Sc
cured about $4,000; the Mechanics and
Traders Bank, who estimate their al
legged loss through Rothchild at about
$4,000, and the Chemical Bank. The
latter institution refuses to state the
extent of it's alleged losses. The aggre-

HOSPITALS IN HAVANA.
Five Turned over to Us But Only One
Available for Use.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg left here today for a
two weeks trip to Havana and nearby
points in Cuba to examine into military
hospital facilities.
On his way to Havana Gen. Stern
berg will stop at Savannah to inspect
the new hospital and supply depot
there. The condition of the troops in
Cuba, according to the most recent
reports Gen. Sternberg has received is
excellent, but it is necessary during the
two or three months which will inter-
vene before the unhealthy season ar
rives, that every preparation should be
made to provide for any contingency
which may then arise. Five Spanish
civil and military hospitals have been
turned over to US in Havana but Gen.
Sternberg is of opinion that only one
of them-the Alphonso XIII-will be
hospital, built in 1885, and has a ca
pacity of 1000, but on occasions 5000
have been crowded into it.
There are now many Spaniards sick
in this hospital, and it is probable that
we win not be able to obtain complete
possession Immediately. The San Am
brose hospital, a permanent affair of
stone with a capacity of 1000 beds,
probably will not be available, owing
to it's bad location. There are three
other temporary military hospitals, but
1t Is doubtful whether any use will be
made Of any of them, and whatever
other hospital accommodations are
needed will have to be built A yellow
fever hospital and a supply depot for
