OPERATIONS IF
 THE SUB-TREASURY Largely Affect the Cash in the
 Banks Past Week S1,502, 200 IN COL D PAID OUT sub-Treasury Received From Banks $1,s5o,ooo for Transfer to the In-
 terior, Leaving $913,7oo Net Gain.
 
New York, August a.-The Flnancier

New York, August S1.-The Flnancier says:
 The cash In the banks last week was largely affected by the ordinary sub treasury operations as we'll as the in- terior movement of money. The extraor dinary operations of the sub-treasury consisted of the payments of s1,502,2O0 new gold on assay office checks, representing domestic bullion and deposits at Pacific coast points and the disbursement of s34s, 500 for bonds and of $9130OO for pen- sions. These items made a total of s7,- Y67, TOO The sub-treasury received from the banks s1,S5OOoo for transfer to. the interior, leaving s913.7O0 net gain to the banks on extraordinary operations Re, ceipts by the sub-treasury for customs, internal revenue and other items were SIS, 929, ,000 while the disbursements to the banks for ordinary purposes were $14,- s05, 300, leaving an excess of receipts over payments by the sub-treasury of $4,629 700. The banks shipped directly to the interior chiefly to Chicago, $5,99S.SO0, exclusive of transfers, which are included in the above statement, and the banks received from the interior S4395, ,000 leaving as the net loss to the banks, on this direct move ment, $1 603, 800. Adding the net loss to the banks of $3,710,500, on spb-treasury oper- ations both ordinary and extraordinary, makes the total loss of cash by the banks for the week of $5,314,000 The bank re- turns showed a loss of $6, 100 In cash. The loans were expanded by $L549zoO' There was decrease of only 27,7Oo in de- posits, whereas there should have been an increase of S1114,190 The circulation gained $1019, ,OS0. and the loss in surplus reserve was $622S,175 leaving this item at s11919,925.
 There was good evidence early last week that some of the s4000,0O0 cash which had been sent to Philadelphia late in the previous week had been returned to this city How much of this money came back. however, it is difficult to estimate, but to the extent that it was returned the conditions of banks as regards cash were improved. It will be observed that the drain of money into the treasury banks for customs and internal revenue was quite large last week, and this movement may continue of importance In the near future. In such a case concurrent movement to the interior for crop pur- poses would very soon seriously reduce the surplus reserve. It is true that the as- sistant treasurer has been given authority to buy bonds in liberal amounts should they be offered, but judging from the comparatively small tenders of bonds which were made last week relative to the market through bond purchases.

 New Orleans, August 31.-The trade now seems to be completely absorbed for the present in the attempt that the coming monthly bureau will exert on the mar ket. and strange to say that notwith- standing the multiply of bad crop ac. counts arriving from private sources, there are many who believe that the gov ernment will not indicate a sufficient de- terioration in the condition of the crop to influence prices substantially in an up- ward course. The edge of the improve ment has been blunted somewhat by the disappointing attitude of Liverpool. where an easier tone exists and sharp declines have been recorded In both spots and fu- tufes.

COMMERCIAL YEAR
 IS JUST OPENING .a = sss= s New Orleans Trade Index Re- views Cotton Crop Prospects TOO MUCH RAIN REPORTED The Situation as to the New Crop Yield Is Less Favorable Than a
 Month Ago-The Drouth
 Is Also Felt.

New Orleans, La, August 31.-1n con- nection with it's regular review of the movement and conditions in the cotton trade, the New Orleans Trade Index to- morrow will say concerning the crop of the commercial year just opening:
 '"The new crop Is now commencing to move in the western districts and first bales have been numerous in all sections. The prospects of the crop are, upon the whole. less favorable to a large yield than was generally accepted a month ago. Some improvement in condition was made during the first days of August, but lat terly complaints of damage by continued drouth in central and north-central Texas have been frequent and loud, compelling attention where doubts had before existed. In view of the facts shown In the rain ta- ble 1t may be questioned whether these complaints are in all cases, well founded. That some points have suffered Is plain, but the moisture recorded, while not heavy, has been too generally distributed to make an absolute failure possible. In the east the complaint has been from the reverse cause, too much rain causing rust and shedding, reducing, 1t Is said, a pre- viously fair prospect to very indifferent promise. The section tributary to New Orleans has apparently fared better than other portions of the belt, and less com plaint Is heard from 1t than elsewhere. Its crop is in good condition, promising an abundant yield"
 The rain table referred Is compiled from government records and takes in the en- tire state of Texas, some eighty-five sta tions being reported. The data given cov- CTS comparative figures in inches for this year and last, for April, May, June July and August, and shows considerable pre- clpitahon eveh In the supposed "drouth- stricken district

THE ZINC COMPANY WRECK.
Stockholders Hope That Some Equity
May BE Saved.

NEW YORK. March 30-H. b Shoe
maker representing the local stOckhold
ers' committee interested in reorganizing
the property of the International Zinc
Company, telegraphed from Joplin. Mo,
today that he hoped to make satisfac-
tory arrangements whereby the sale of
the Free-Coinage Mine, set for today,
could be postponed. Mr.. Shoemaker ex-
pressed the belief that the mine was
worth $4,000. and since ne has already
collected a portion of the $4,000 neces-
sary to save the property, it is believed
that stockholders will get back something
after all. C. II. A. DOugherty said today
that holders of 10000 shares had de-
posted their stock with the City Trust
Company, in accordance with the terms
of the circular recently sent out. He hoped
to save the property, and believed that
there was value enough in the enterprise
to justify the effort. W. X. Trimble, the
receiver, has also collected a fund 10 be
used in satisfying the more urgent de-
mands. The New York committee ex-
poets to receive a list of the 1900 stock
holders before long.
An attachment was served late yester-
day afternoon on the carriages and horses
supposed to belong to John Grant Lyman
the zinc promoter. but which, he claims,
are his Wife'S property. In the stable
Street. between Sixth and Seventh Ave
nues. were found brougham, a victoria.

mans taste for red vehicles seems not TO
have been confined to his autOmObilel
and five stylish looking horses. The at
tachment served on the property was the
same order on which the effects in DR.
Lyman'S office were attached early in the
week.
On Monday morning. in Part I of the
Supreme Court. there VIII be argument on
the motion to Vacate the attachment. no
tice of which motion was given yesterday
by John j. Nause, LymanS attorney.
Interesting light is thrown on the busi-
ness methods OF DR. Lyman by the dis
coveTy among the effects in his Office of
typewriter lists containing, respective
ly. the names and addresses OF 4S1 teach
ers in the city of Chicago, 1919 Chicago
physicians. 5000 employees of the Illinois
Central Railroad, and several thousand
employees of another company. The pre-
sumption seems to be that circulars or
advertisements of some sort We're to be
sent to these people. In one of the desks
in the office there was also found a guam
tity of stationery bearing the name of a
fashionable uptown hotel.
The use OF hotel letterheads by pro-
mOters 10 convince their correspondents
that they are men of position and affiu-
ence is an Old and common device. Some
of the hotels I'm this city are known
throughout the country as the resorts Of
wealthy men, and the receipt of a letter
bearing the name of such a hOstelry is
likely to produce not a small impression
upon the minds of many recipients.

Lcngue for Social Service Teaching
New York Women

NEW YORK, March 3O.-Among the
many movements in this city for helping
and equipping women for self-support is
that of an educational laundry" At the
headquarters of the League for Social
Service il was learned today that a fully
equipped laundry has been established by
New York women, at 516 West Twenty
eighth Street. This educational laundry
has proved a success. Applications for
employment and training are not only
beyond the capacity of the laundry school,
but women of education are applicants,
anxious to become efficient workers in
this business and thus be self-supporting.
Women employed at the laundry school
are paid according to their efficiency, from
60 cents TO SIPS per day. They are also
provided with comfortable meal at noon,
for which there is no charge.
For women who do not care to do actual
work in the laundry, but desire the train
ing, a special course of instruction is
given for which a small fee is charged.
However, the women who take this spe-
cial course can more than earn the fee
il they want TO go into the laundry and
work Il certain number of hours daily.
For this they are paid the usual wage
Of sixty cents per day. The laundry is

of circumstances over which he had no
control
Riordan took a young woman To the
theatre last night and subsequently went
TO the restaurant of the Hotel Minot,
Eighth Avenue and 126th Street. for a
quiet supper While he sat there, about
twenty sOphomores who were prowling
about looking for stray freshies spied him
and rushed in with a shout. The sopho-
mores dragged Riorlan out. leaving the
Young woman to settle the bill. and made
him don a suit of pink silk pajamas and
an old plug hat, and shoulder a broom.
Then they marched down Eighth Avenue,
compelling RiOrdan TO pause at every
lamp post and go through the manual of
arms
Bv the time Hath Street was reached a
great crowd was following behind. Police
man Zimmerman. OF the West l25th street
station. sped the Concourse and went
over to investigate. As he broke through

MATERIALS FOR ARMY SHIRTS.
Experiments With Khaki CoIored

a test to ascertain the comparative serv-
iceability Of khaki colored and blue flannel
shirts has just been concluded at Fort
Myer Va. Experiments were first made
with a cotton fabric Of light texture but
IL was found that this material, while

all wool shirting of the desired shade, and
experiments to this end are still under

both colors can be furnished the army.
