The Fnancior says:
The increasing demands for interior crop-moving
funds is shown in loss Of s.. i52 200 cash by the
associated banks Of New York for the week ending
September p An this money shipped West and
South. operations with the suhtreasury having
suited in little change either way. The interesting
feature Of the weekly statement is the decrease Of
S6sa 900 in the loan item. the first contraction OF
consequence that has been noted since the third
week in july. The change for the current week IL
not large but derives significance from the fact that
the drain of cash out Of New York has led some Of
the banks to curtail outstanding commitments The
alacy OF f0recastng the probable volume OF interior
demands fall season Is we'll shown in the
present depletion Of reserves the shipments 50 far
this year having been fly np 70 the ordinary, de
spite the assertions that New York would not be
called upon 70 finance the crop harvest. As II Is,
the hanks have a much heavier reserve than usual
at this period, but the shipments OF money
not by any means, it will be only logical IL
further shrinkage in loans results The situation is
somewhat complicated by the adjustment Of the
German and Swedish leans being negotiated
here, but so far as ordinary commercial and Local
business is concerned everything favors frmer
money market IL IL not to be forgotten that the
deposit account rs much higher than the average
necessitsting a larger volume Of cash reserves, and
to meet present needs contraction in other items
releasing part Of this reserve IL the ordinary
cdy For the week just ended the reserve shrinkagc
Is smaller than the actual loss in cash, because Of
this very operation This is in direct contrast with
the exhibit Of the previous week. when the expand
ing deposits due TO rising loans made the
loss heavier than cash shrinknge. The fact that
the circulation Of the banks has increased 100
per cent in the last year renders it possible for tho
banks 10 ship West large amount Of money that
does not deplete reserves or affect totals

HOLLAND AT THE CAPITAL.
AGAIN REPRESENTED BY A RESIDENT
MINISTER BARON GEVERS'S
AMERICAN BLOOD.

Washington March 24-The post of Minister
from the Netherlands to this capital has been
vacant since the departure of the last incum-
bent more than two years ago. Since there are
few diplomatic questions of Importance between
that little nation and this Government, and the
maintaining of a Minister Resident here is more
of a courtesy than a necessity. it believed
that no successor to Mr.. de Weckherlin would
be named and that the legation would not be re-
established. The arrival of Baron Gevers, how
ever, definitely settles the question and gives,
too flavor of truth to the persistent rumor
that those in power at The Hague desirous
of aiding their brothers in South Africa, if not
directly, then through their sympathy and moral
influence. The Minister is outspoken
garding the pro-Boer sentiment in his country,
although his position prevents him from discuss
ing the question, and it is not be doubted
that. should opportunity occur. he would be
prompt in offering his services to the stricken
republics.
Baron Gevers is man Of distinguished ap
pearance and agreeable manners, and has made
a pleasant impression all those who have
been privileged to meet him. He is greeted
a compatriot rather than a foreigner and can,
indeed, hardly be classed as a stranger TO this
country, since he visited it in boyho0d and has
kept in touch with his American relatives, the
family of his maternal grandfather the late
Senator Wright of New-Jersey. The Baron has
established himself at one of the uptown hotels.
where he will remain indefinitely. His prede
cessor, who held the position of Netherlands
Minister some fifteen years. preferring New
York rather than Washngton Is place of resi-
dence except for few days and then dur.
