Over the Bridge.

II the Brooklyn bridge can properly be
made to bear more weight the framework
for providing bicycle path there should
be put upon it. The bicycle is sufficiently
distinct as n vehicle and its use Is suffi-
GENTLY large to Justify the making of a
special road for it over the bridge.
Wherever the bcyclist can be relieved Of
tho discomforts and dangers of ordinary
street traffic, and wherever the ordinary
street traffic can be relieved of tho dangers
and worries incident to the bicycle, It is
desirable that the separation be effected.
We hope that the new path can be built
provided the wheelmen will agree to respect
this rule for its use: No soorching up !;
no coasting down."

Hemp, as s we'll known constitutes the
main export, the yearly shipments amount

nearly 100, 900 long tons Next in impor-
lance among the exports Is sugar, of which
about half II billion pounds u year are ex-
ported, although it's defective modes of
manufacture make It's price low. Coffee as
a rule Is also not of the best quality, but
with that. as with sugar, a gain may be ex-
pected. Manila cheroots were famous In
our country a generation ago, and over
100000, 600 cigars and about "a, 100000

buckles Retineries Have Lost Money.
WASHINGTON, Juno 15-James NJ. Harvey Of
the firm OF Arbuckle Bros. and manager Of
the Arbuckle Sugar Refinery testified before
the Industrial Commission to-day. He said
he entered the refining business in 1898 at
which time tho margin between the raw and
refined sugar was 80. When the COM
petition between the Arbucklo firm and
the Sugar Trust was at its height 1t went
as low, as 81. and now stood at 81 .
He declined to say what was the cost Of
the refining He said his firm was in the
business to- stay. although the Arbuckle re-
hneries had lost money. He agreed with Mr.
Havemeyer that the American Sugar Refining
Company was making no money although It
continued to pay dividends The dividends he
said: were probably paid from surplus accu-
mulated when prices were higher and compe-
tition was not as strong as ut present He dis
agreed with Mr.. Havemeyer's opinion that tho
concentrating of plants cheapened the cost OF
refining sugar.
The commission will continue the inquiry
into trusts until the Goth. when agricultural
conditions in the South will be taken up.

ASSOCIATED BANKS STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The Financer says:
In the face OF a continued demand for funds.
the New York banks gaining cash and
adding 10 their reserves in large amounts 1t
had been anticipated that the banks would
show a gain as a result of the past six days
business. but the increase was much larger
than earlier calculations called for The
steady gain in specie reflects continued re-
ceipts, not only from the West. but from other
points as well. In fact, the gain is ex-
clusively from outside shipments since pres
ent operations with the Treasury are resulting
in weekly losses to the New York banks The
expansion in loans. coming after the decrease
of the week ending January !, Is only logical.
Stock dealings on such enormous scale
that borrowing on collateral is resuming the
activity noted during the close of the year.
1t is not probable that the loans represent
sterling operations as under present clrcum-
stances liquidation Is more in order than ex-
pansion. The heavy cash receipts, coupled
with the loan Increase, are responsible for the
addition OF nearly nine millions to the deposit
account, and increased requirements neces-
STATED addition OF more than two and a
quarter millions to that fund, the gain in ex-
cess cash was only 81. 1872, 700 The surplus re-
serve is s2S. 26S 075, amount larger than
has been reported since August 20 last when
reserves We're S95, 900 900 less and loans nearly
s45, COO 900 below present totals. AS the move
ment toward New York is likely to add heav-
lily to the already idle cash here IL is only
natural to anticipate easy money market
for long time to come. accompanied by con-
tinued Stock Exchange transactions on a
larger scale. OF course, Unforeseen cash may
operate to check the activity now so promi-
nent, but events seem to favor indefinite ex-
pansion. With money abroad approaching our
own level. gold import talk has Subsided. II
is interesting commentary on present con-
ditions to note that the clearing house banks
while making new records from week to week
idle money to take care of than they
themselves like to see.
