rule; ex. United States deposits, SIS, 42S075.
The Financier says: 1.-The official state
ment of the New York Associated Banks
last week showed a decrease of s., 761 500 in
specie and an increase of se66, 500 in legal
tenders, making the net loss in cash 1904
7OO This very closely agrees with the esti-
mated loss Of s2,426, 700 indicated by the
traceable movements of money during the
week. One encouraging feature is that
while this loss of cash was due largely to
the fiscal operations Of the subtreasury.
which absorbed S, l26,9O0 from the banks,
the interbank movement shows that the
return flow of money from the interior has
begun TO be important. Receipts from the
banks. were S5521. 500. against s.. S56, 300 in
the previous week and s.. f62. 800 in the week
ended on Nov. Is. These figures show
steady gain in the movement from the
country, and should the gain continue, az
ii probably will, the net increase will most
likely soon be large enough to Offset the
drain into the subtreasury. The receipts
now seem to represent the money which
was expended for labor in the agricultural
regions: later the receipts will represent
the proceeds resulting from the marketing
of commodities. Still another encouraging
fact in this connection is that last week
only small amount of money was trans
ferred to New Orleans and none to the
West. The direct outward movement by
the banks also was small. The loans showed
a decrease last week OF &, 065. 500, rejecting
the almost general suspension of loans for
fixed periods by the banks, and also the
results OF the liquidation in the stock mar
ket which was continuous during the week
and tended TO reduce the requirements of
Stock Exchange borrowers at call. De-
posts decreased Sc 031, 400. which amount is
SSH 200 greater than that called for by the
reduction in loans and Of the loss in cash;
therefore the statement is not far out Of
proof. The required reserve was lessened
BY $50, $50. Deducting this sum from the
total loss OF cash leaves $1,4S6,sN as the

amount of the reduction in surplus re-
serves, which now is $3.50. 800, as calcu-
lated on the basis of deposits, including
$4O164,700 of the government. Deducting
these public deposits the computation
shows a surplus of $1S,423,Ol7. Last year
at the corresponding date the surplus call
culated on the basis of all net deposits
was s., 455,025, therefore the banks now are
in a comparatively stronger position than
they were then and probably the surplus
by the end of the year. Circulation showed
an increase of S54, 100 last week. though the
gain was smaller than in the previous

receipts Of sheep and lambs this week have been
only fair. showing decrease of nearly 1850 COM
pared with last week, slight change compared
with the same week year ago and a decrease Of
nearly 400 compared with the corresponding week
two years Thus far this year the receipts
are over 22000 smaller than the same period
last year. and the receipts for the month are
only 81 head smaller than the same period last
year. For all stock suitable for butchers there
has been rather an active market this week and
prices have been strong and satisfactory COM
pared with other places. OF course the supply
was not large enough to give buyers an oppor-
tunity to press the market. but at the same time
there a good healthy demand from all
sources. and no doubt larger number could
have been sold at prevailing prices. Occasionally
stock that was possibly a little better than the
average OF good kinds sold at what looked to be
higher prices. but there was no considerable ad-
vance. Lambs sold as high 1925 during the
week and sheep high 1915 but IS was
practically the top for the former and So so for
the latter. AS usual at the extreme close OF
the week very small number arrived for
the market to-day. and the trading was neces-
sarily quiet, but sales represented steady prices
compared with those current yesterday. Quota

The Iola register., 1902-02-21
For saie by,O. b. Spencer
Wants County Convention.

The REGISTER has already noted
that the Second District Congress
sional Committee had arranged not to
call conventions to choose delegates
to the Congressional Convention at
Ft. Scott. 1t was the sense of the
committee that the committeeman
in each county name these delegates
| In Wyandotte county there is opposi-
tion to this plan and petitions are
| being circulated, asking that the Sc
lection be left to a county convention
In Anderson county the county CEN
tral committee part of it, met and
named the delegates and now there is
a roar over their action and a demand
as to why the voters were not allowed
to do the selecting. The opposition to
this method seems to be pretty gen
eral.
At least one Allen county man OBJ
iects here. In letter to the REGISTER
r. N. Vert of Humboldt says: 81 see
by your paper that the Congressional
committeeman # each county is to
name the delegation from the county.
Now, Mr.. Editor, If one man from
each county is to say for whom the
voters of the county are to vote it is
time to stop and think what we are
doing. AS for myself I am for Bow
ersock, but I do not approve of the
method of selecting the delegation and
and it will lose MIR. Bowersock many
votes"
The REGISTER took its statement
about the selection of the delegation
by the county committeeman from the
Topeka Capital. Mr.. Travis, the AL
len county committeeman says the Sc
lection ofAllen county's delegates will
be left to the Republican County Gen.
tral Committee, so the error into which
the REGISTER was led and into which
it led Mr.. Vert, and doubtless 9TH
ers, is hereby corrected. The commit
tee will meet on February 25.
Four of the six Republican newspa-
pers in the county, outside of lola,
last week endorsed Congressman Bow
ersock for reelection, so if they re-
fleet the sentiment of the county the
delegation to FIT. Scott should be in
structed for him.
