MOVEMENT OF MONEY.

According to the known movement of money in
the week the banks show loss in cash holdings
of upward of $500O0O. The bank statement how
ever. may not reflect this loss. as a large gain at
the close Of last week, which by the system of
averages employed in computing the bank state
ment was not shown last Saturday, will doubtless
be reflected in this weeks figures. In next weeks
exhibit there will be included good part OF the
100000 interest, checks for which will be mailed
to-day to holders OF the Government per cent and
new per cent bonds. The banks received from
the interior in the week 81 4 direct by express

NEW RAILROAD MILEAGE.

The railroad built in the United States in
the first six months of 1900 approximately POPS
miles. divided among 100 lines. This is the pre-
liminary estimate of The Railroad Gazette" from
letters and kilograms received from large number
of the railroad companies Later returns will no
doubt slightly change these figures. In the CORE
spending period last year the mileage completed
only 11S1, which less by nearly $50 miles
Yet the record for the entire year was 45s9 miles
the highest figures of railroad building since 1892
Only &c per of the roads built last year were
completed in the first six months. At the same
ratio the new mileage for the entire twelve months
of 1900 will exceed 1900. But last years ratio for
the first half year unusually small The usual
percentage is from SO to 40 the years building
which would make the probable figures for the
entire year 1900 from 5000 5000 miles This esti-
mate at best. however. is but guesswork. In the
new building for the six months of this year Texas
leads with 164 miles. Then follow Iowa with 15O
miles: Mississippi. 119; Georgia. III: California 1O4
Pennsylvania, 1OS; South Carolina 102; Oklahoma
Is; Minnesota, Il. and Arkansas, 81 miles The
heaviest building has been In the South and West
Among the individual companies the Chicago and
Northwestern leads with 156 miles, the Southern
Pacific has 81 miles; the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy. &C. and the Seaboard Air Line 60 miles
The Gulf and Ship Island has built Y miles; the
Chicago Rock Island and Pacific. 81 the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe. 81. and the Northern Pacific
so miles The mileage OF the Atchison and OF the
Seaboard Air Line is particularly noteworthy as
filling in important links IN through lines one 10
the Pacific Coast and the other into the South
with the single exception of the Gulf and Ship
Island. the only considerable building OF the six
months has been done by the older and larger COM
panies. The present tendency of new building in
tho East particularly is we'll represented by the

de la tarde, en- una casa del DR..
Francisco del Valle, residente hoy
en- los Estados Unidos.
Fue originado por la chimenea
de la cooina, que pasaba por el in
terror de un muro de panderete, y
parece que estaba rota y oxidada.
Ell fuego pudo sofocarse segui
damente, gracias la rap:da inter
venci6n de les oomberos de Santur'
ce, dirigidos por su Jefe ell Senor
Hecht
Cuando llegaron las bombas de
Puerta de TERRA y esta Capital,
aunque prestaron muy buen servi'
clio, va el fuego estaba dominado.
La policfa estuvo en- su puesto,

nes del cabo Juan Rodriguez.
Ell fuego ha tenido muy poca
importancia, gracias la prontitud
dc los auxilios del cuerpo de bombe
