THE wFlNANCIER
Reviews the Banking an .Finan-
ciaI Situation in New YORK City.

NEW YORK. September 23.-The
Financier says: me clearing house
banks of New York City were able last
week, through the familiar operation Of
contracting loans and lessening deposit
liabilities, to strengthen their position,
surplus reserves having risen to nearly
three millions, as against about a quar-
ter million for the week previous. This
was accomplished in the face of an
actual loss of two and one-half millions
in cash. an amount rather less than The
known operations Of tie week had pre-
pared the street 10 expect.
The wholesale liquidation which has
been 10 evidence for some days past is
reelected in a contraction Of s17,s6e, 500
in loans and a coinciaent reduction Of
$40. 793, GOO il deposits. The shrinkage
OF the latter item lowering, as it did,
the reserve liability by - per cent. re-
leased over IS 1000. 800 in cash and ex-
plains why, with money still flowing
into the treasury and TO the West. the
banks are able 10 end the week In 4
stronger position, from a cash stand
point, than they began 1t.
In the past three weeks the decrease
in loans has been no less than $31. 00O-
O00.. while deposits have been reduced
over fifty millions In the same time
there has been a loss in cash OF nine
teen millions The latter item explains
the drift of banking operations very
well, for it is known that the loss OF

As bearing on this point, the com
pleted details Of the New York national
banks as given in their official state
ments OF september Z, show that be-
tween June 80 and the first week in
September, country bank balances here
were reduced only four millions where
a., the c~ontraetions in other deposits
was about seYenty-four millions. In
the tine intervening between the two
official statements. the national banks
lost tweEty-one millions in specie and
legals. The movement TO the interior
since September It'll has been a little
more active, but nothing in comparison
10 the loss IN cash sustained BY the
banks this month.

The weather has been cool during the
past week, and the rainfall spoiled at
least one large entertainment which
had been arranged for Wheeling Park.
The change in temperature necessitates
the pa-5luse Of fall clothing, and this
gives femininity the opportunity to in
dulge a taste for shopping which is
peculiar 10 the sex, affording indirectly
chances for meeting acquaintance and
discussing plans for the seasons cam
paign. The outdoor season will be
brought to a close to-day with stellar
attractions at both parks. The Arion
affair. postponed from last week, will
probably be given at Wheeling Park
one evening this week. The prepara-
ton of amusement programmes claims
the attention of the clubs, and within
a fortnight their plans will be re-
vealed. While dancing will maintain
its popularity during the winter, es-
pccially among the younger set, the de-
voices of cards will be more numerous
than in past seasons, and whist Will
continue to be the favorite game. A
large number of good minister's have
been developed during the past two
years, and every set now has some very
skillful players. A number Of enter
tainments have been planned for the
coming week, which will find the whirl
of social gayety fairly ~inaugurated.

Grown in a fairy far-ianu,
OF unbeciouded hours,
All no, let thorns together
With fragrant lowers entwlne'
That so / prove thee whether
We share the sweets together,
And all the thorns be mine.
Should life be all an ocean
OF rapture-rippled tides,
Whereon in May motion
The south-wind softly glides!
An no. let storms together
With rosy Gains combine:
That so in wild-wind weather,
AS we sail on together,
My heart may shelter thine.
Should life be all a measure
Of golden-girdled sound,
Wherein no briefest LEISURE
For minor tones is found!
All no: let minor meanings
Amid its music be,
That so Loves interyenlngs
May store all sadder ~gleanlngs,
And share the sweets with tnee.
