was principally from Philadelphia and

worthy of note that the fiscal operations
of the subtreasury continue to absorb
banks, as is shown by the fact that last
week the excess of receipts over pay
ments by that office was $2430, 200. In
asmuch as treasury disbursements for

small, the buying of the per cents of
1892 having been suspended by order of
the secretary of the treasury the fiscal
operations of the department showed
receipts continue in excess of payments,
will be likely to have an important In
offuence upon the cash reserve of the
