The New York Financier says this week:
AT the opening of a season. when demands

fact. il the repeated assurances of banks

has no special significance. The whole
statement loses any Importance ii might
possess otherwise from the fact that the
gain of five millions in specie and six mil
lions in deposits by a sir gle institution off,
sets the changes of the other banks as a
whole. The clearing institutions gained the
bulk of increased cash holdings for the
week from the subtreasury. but interior
shipments also netted them something over
one million dollars. The latter source of
supply. unless all precedent is at fault,
will be a minor factor from this time on.
IL Is surprising, but nevertheless true, that
all the money lost to Europe through the
exports of August has been made up by
receipts from various sources since, aud
the effect of the payment of the British
loan has therefore been nil. Circulation is
still increasing, probably in anticipation of
its shipment to the interior later on"

demand was filled and packers pro-

For some reason or other this has never
been true of the river on which the Capt.
tai City is situated.
II the long talked of reservoir is ever
finished there may be pleasure possibiIi-
ties upon its banks although il is likely
to be more fashionable resort than any
thing else. But there is no reason in the
world why bathing beaches. boat houses,
and woodland parks should not exist in

that the park should be filed with these

not be there at all. but during the sum-
mer months the whole population ought to
be out of doors Oh Sunday afternoons and
