and some OF the first cOnsuTs aids-de-

jumped over the heads Of most OF
them. when at the turning OF a path he
espied the last player. who. in the req

the ordeal Isabey pursued his course
without looking. but took his fS.ht so
badly as only to reach the others shonl-
der. and both rolled over and over in
the sand.
To Isabey's CONSERVATION, his sup
posed fellow player turned out to be
Bonaparte. who got up. foaming at the
mouth with anger. and. drawing his
sword, pounced upon the unfortunate
artist. Isabey. luckily for himself, bet.
ter at running than at leaping. took TO
his heels and, jumping the bitches d.
viding the property from the highroad.
got over the wall and never stopped
until. breathless. he reached the gates
of the Tuileries.

mishap. advised him to lie low for a
little while.

A curious thing has been discovered in
connection with the loan item in bank
statements of the clearinghouse institu-
tions. 1t has been disclosed that loans have
only decreased about 100000 during the
last sixty days, whereas it is definitely
known that commission houses and spec
ulators have paid off loans in that period
to the amount of hundreds of millions Of
dollars. The unavoidable inference that
the money thus wreSted from the public
and the gambling element has been trans
ferred to the accounts of the underwriting
syndicateS and speculative combinations.
They have been given all the protection
needed, and weekly margin accounts hav-
ing been weeded out and extinguished, the
conclusion is irresistible that the market is
very much stronger than before. 1t is not
a pleasant thought to spectators that they
have been sacrificed to strengthen the syn
dictates and underwriters, but such APP
pears to be the case however much they
may grumble and complain about it.

The Ffnancier says: 1.-The official state
ment OF the New York associated banks
last week showed an increase of s573. 800 in
cash, an amount very closely corresponding
with the estimated gain, which was $3.50, 300;
the specie decreased 1920 while the legal
tenders increased se95.6oo. The loans were
reduced 2,2o7,coo. making a contraction of
ss.26S.ioo for the fortnight, much smaller
amount than was looked for, considering
the enormous liquidation of speculative ac-
counts on the Stock Exchange in the pre-
vious week. IT is probable. however, that
the small loss last week was chiefly due
to the loans Of funds which had been ac-
cumulated for pending syndicate payments.
The deposits decreased 81, 800, which sum
Is greater by 81, 633, 1C0 than that called for

Strong Tone Early. Followed by Liq
uidatfon After the Statement.
Meyer & Kiser's telegram

Meyer & Kisers telegram
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-The strength at
yesterdays closing was carried into the
early part Of to-day's session and the whole
list displayed a strong tone at advancing
prices. notably such stocks as st. Paul,
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific and South
ern Pacific in the general railway list and
d. & H, the Readings. Pennsylvania and
the Fries among the coalers. The advance
in the better class of securities is due to
the confident feeling that early next week
a complete settlement between the mine
operators and their employees will be
reached. The bank statement was perhaps
not quite as favorable as expected, notably
in the line of reduction Of the loan account,
and this, coupled with the sharp advance
that had taken place during the last few
days, induced realizing sales and caused
particularly strong reactions in the securi-
ties that had the largest advance, as, for
instance, st. Paul, Missouri Pacific, etc. Ii
looks, however, as if the situation has be-
come more favorable.
