NEW YORK. March 1O.-rhe Flnancier

Is Regarded With Equanimity by
Stock Dealers.
NEW YORK, March 1O.-The Flnancier
says:
A nervous feature Of the statement of
the clearing house banks of New York
city for the week ending March 10 is that
the decreases in cash holdings and sur
plus reserve almost balance the gain in
loans. while deposits actually fell off $751;
800. In other words. the statement seems
to imply that If the loans were made they
were in the form of cash advances. which
were taken out of bank This is not the
true solution. for II is pretty generally
understood that the demands due to treas
ury operations and interior shipments ac-
count for the loss In cash. II may be as
stunned therefore that the cash thus d.
verted decreased deposits, a loss made up
In large part by bonds which are credited
to borrowers as deposits.
''The result of this shows a stationary
deposit account, while cash holdings have
fallen Off $S,0SS 600, and the reserve has
suffered a decrease of nearly 100000,
bringing the present surplus reserve fund
In banks down to 50. SIC, 375, the lowest sum
reported since Nov. % last.
As there are no indications that the
conditions which are thus eating into sur
plus are to undergo change soon. the
statement might be constructed to mean
a very light money market We're it not
for the probability of the early passage
of the refunding bill. whichS will release
more or less treasury fundssl This factor
Is all that restraints the call loan market
from violent upward advance.
Considered in a broad light. the cur
rent exhibit OF the banks rs not different
from what had been anticipated earlier In
the week. The conditions IN the several
Items have been distributed. over a larger
number of individual institutions than
usual. but it is noteworthy that a third
of the loans are TO be traced to the Chase
National. which also expanded its de
posits over s., O00. co., this indicating a fall
ing off of more than that amount in the
list OF other banks. The statement has
also been complicated by the purchases of
government bonds by county banks. an
operation usually conducted by the city
correspondent of the buying institution.
1.-The item OF circulation shows con-
tinued gain and the New York national
banks have now outstanding nearly $f9,-
600. 600 of notes. a sum greater than re-
ported for year. II is conceded that
the new refunding bill will have the eff
feet of largely adding to the present cir
cuating of the banks here

Medium sized houses are the principal
item or interest in the real estate mar
ket just at present. The demand for this
class of property preceded the season by
several weeks. People, az a rule. are
looking for bargains, but the real estate
bargain counter has been pretty well
picked over. and this fact, together with
the advance cost of building, has given
considerable color to the market Out-
side of a large number Of small sales re-
ported during the week, several largo
deals have been made, which can only
be regarded as a most favorable indica

difference between landless ice masses and
icy land masses. The south polar area is
everywhere fenced by a c~ircumpolar sea of
destructive ice. The shore is everywhere
guarded by a stupendous wall of glacial ice
and the interior is everywhere hopelessly
submerged by weights of ice OF unimaginable
thickness. He who seeks to dissolve the

OF the South Magnetic pole we know next
to nothing. 1t is Just as important as it's
northern companion. Not less than six posi-
lions are assigned by experts to the South
Magnetic pole. These positions are from
100 to 500 miles apart. If we draw a circle
500 miles in diameter on the eastern end Of
the great continental mass known as
WITHSTAND it would be possible to say the
South Magnetic pole is somewhere within
this, but no more definite point could be
fixed. Reaching and locating this pole is
entirely practicable, however, though ex-
tremely difficult; but it must not be at
tempted by men with an imperfect knowledge
of the subject. The apparent but deceptive
ease of the work here is sure to send ill
prepared adventures to grief within the
next few years. 1t is possible to fix a sta
ton Wlthln 2OO miles OF tne pfoDaDle POSI-
ton of the greatest dip of the needle, and
the travelling will be over high, ice-buried
lands; a region similar, perhaps, to the
interior of Greenland, where the experiences
of Peary and Nansen have shown that ex-
ploration is safe and reasonably certain.
Efforts to determine the South Magnetic
pole are sure to return material results
and il the right men with the right equip
ment make the effort they will certainly be
rewarded by an accomplishment of their am
bition.

II is the center of an utterly uneXplored
region, about 5000, 600 square miles in eN-
tent. Previous to the voyage of the Belgica
no expedition had been sent beyond the
polar circle for sixty years, and there never
has been an expedition properly fitted out
to reach the South pole, The nearest APP
proach made to it was by the British eX-
plorer, James Ross, in 1910, With two old
gunboats under sail he pressed beyond the
zone of the %sea-ice, which guards the Ant
arctic, to a large ~iee-fTee bay. on the
western side of this bay he discovered a high
mountainous country, blanketed with per-
petual ice, and extending from latitude II
degrees to 40 minutes to the head Of the bay
at about 10 degrees so minutes.
From what we saw of the Antarctic lands
south of Cape Horn it is clear that the pre-
vlously conceived impossibility OF landing on
south polar lands is a mlsconception. The
Belgica made twenty debarkments and it
was discovered that 1t was possible to land
on nearly every island and neck OF land offer
ing a projecting northerly exposure, From
the experience OF the Belgica it would seem
that a permanent base of operations might be
established close to the seventy eighth par
allel OF the Nictorialand of Ross. This Is
the only point Offering a promising route
to the South pole. The possibility CT reach
ing II will depend upon the character OF
the inland ice. II il Is a smooth, even sur
face, without mountain ridges or extensive
creyasses, such as the interior OF Green
land, and il this land-ice extends to the pole.
then it is within the power of man, with
present means. to tread on the spot; but II
1t Is otherwise, then there Is only a small
prospect of reaching the southern axis.
We as Americans have a special interest
