Paris treaty, proclaimed American SOW
ereignty. The foreign merchants, in
Guiding Holman & Co., recognized the
Americans and took out licenses to do
business. The insurgents threatened the
rear Of the city, and threw UP fortifica-
lions. Gen. Otis requested the navy
department to send vessels for the bonn
bardment Of the rebel trenches.
In the meantime Gen. Otis issued an
order notifying foreign residents that
the city would be shelled, and they were
given sixty hours in which to get their
merchandise to place of safety. The
naval ships came along in twelve hours
and began Smelling the rebels The city
was set on fire and the warehouses Of
Holman g. Co. destroyed among others.
A protest was Immediately made to
Gen. Otis and his correspondence, a copy
Of which is in New York, admits that
the army promised protection for sixty
hours, but that the bombardment by the
navy was g. necessary act Of war, which
the government will have to pass upon.
Holman & Co. had their property in
sured for $4,000 in gold, and III addition
had In their warehouses for storage the

Another Brokerage Bubble Is Burst,
Causing q Sensation.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.-The arrest of J.
WEAKER, head of the firm of John w.
Baker & Co., commission brokers, yester-
day, on the charge Of using the mails to
defraud. has developed a surprising con-
dition of affairs. From complaints in his
possession Chief Postoff1ce Inspector Dice
estimates that Bakers out-of-town pa
irons have lost in the aggregate over
100000. He thinks the figure mentioned is
small. and has decided to institute search
ing investigation to ascertain the full ex-
tent of Bakers operations.
1.-THE scheme" said Mr.. Dice today,
measured from a financial standpoint. Is
one Of the largest that has ever been
brought to the attention Of this depart
ment. For seven months we have been
looking into the affairs Of the firm Of
Baker & Co., but owing to their methods
and the fact that many of their patrons
were unwilling to prosecute, fearing they
would then lose the entire amount of their
investment, we were unable to make q.
rapid Roadway. At scores of places in
Southern Illinois persons were induced to
invest their hard-earned earnings on the
promise Of handsome cash returns.
There is no telling how far the scheme
has gone on or what territory 1t has COW
cred. 1 have arranged to send inspectors
through Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and Mis-
souri, at the earliest time possible The
results may be astonishing to some peo-
pie, but not more so than I anticipate"

SHOWING is BETTER
OUTLOOK AS IMPROVED
FOR THE WEEK
BANKS ARE GAINING CASH

Expansion IN Cash Now Counts AL
together in Surplus Reserve,
Whereas Il Year Ago Reserve La
biIity OccasiOned by Loan and De-
POsit Increases Was Locking Up
Millions Weekly.
: NEW YORK, Jan. 13-The Financisr
eays:
/ 1.-THE New York bank statement for the
Eweek ending Jan. 13 was even better
lhhan had been expected. The surplus
Preserve increased almost $5,000000, and
THE excess above legal requirements now
Stands at SIG, 707, $50, sum greater than
Ethe banks have reported since June "a
Hast. although in August the total was
talmost as high. AS the deposits during
THE week remained almost stationary, the
Eentire cash receipts Of the week went to
swell the idle cash in banks, thus &C.
Ecounting for the unusual expansion. The
liquidation that occurred on the stock
Exchange is reflected in the decrease of
81 SIS, 900 in loans. The statement does
hot balance, but there is no question
that the position of the banks is even
stronger than reported, for interior re-
ceipts increased largely at the close Of
che week The gain came almost entire
1y from the interior, the exports Of
ispecie to Europe the previous Saturday
Notwithstanding treasury receipts.
The banks, In fact, are gaining as rap
idly IN surplus this month as was the
case a year ago, with the exception that
the expansion in cash now counts alto
gether in surplus reserve, whereas a
year ago reserve liability occasioned by
the loan and deposit increases was
locking up from 100000 to $5,O0O,OOo
weekly. For instance, the deposits
of the banks during the month of jan
uary, last year, rose almost $57, 100000,
while loans expanded $23, coo 900. The re-
serve requirements We're over $14000,0 600
heavier, but despite this fact surplus re-
serves actually gained $15,O0O0O0.
This year, so far, loans have risen less
than 100000, deposits only little over
So OOO,O 900, while the excess reserve is less
than 100000 heavier. The expansion,
therefore, this year, does not compare
with that of q year ago, although the
gain In. reserve is on a plane more nearly
equal with that which occurred last
year.
ct is not to be overlooked. in this con-
nection, that the banks last December
and January were not losing gold to
Europe, as has been the case lately.
These facts go to show that with every
thing favoring speculative activity q
movement of that nature has been i'm
possible. The banks have not been in
a position to provide the money even
had the incentive been Of the strongest"
