and COMMERCIAL

Ex-United States deposits. $27, 244.550;
increase, $501, S25.
The Financier says. The most SUE
prising feature Of the official statement
, of the New York associated banks last
week was the almost unprecedentedly
small change of only $1,000 in the cash
reserve, there being a loss of this
amount. This seems quite ineXplicable
when the fact is considered that the
traceable movements of mOny during
the week showed an estimated loss Of
50, 924, 600 of cash On the inter- bank
movement alone the loss was S5,1S5, 900,
and this included the transfer through
the sub-treasury Of 100000 to Balti-
more and S1,275,0O0 TO New Orleans It
is possible that the average system may
partly account for the difference be-
tween the estimated and the actual loss
of cash, the movement to Baltimore
through the sub-treasury and directly
from the banks having been heaviest
the early part of the week, but that to
New Orleans was continuous, each day
recording transfers to that point
Large receipts by two of the banks
aided in Offsetting losses by. other insti-
tutiOns. The required reserve was re-
duced S514.200 through the decrease of
$2,056,S00 in deposits. and deducting
from this sum the loss Of $4,000 cash as
above, leaves SOL, 200 as the increase in
surplus reserve to S17, 944. 40 Calculated
on the basis of deposits less those Of
S37, 200, 400 OF public funds, the surplus
is 81, pa, $50. 1t may be noted that the
statement fails to balance by 1881, 800.
The surplus reserve of ST, 944, 45O as
above compares with 81, 7S1, 475 in the
Z corresponding week a year ago. It
should be stated, however, that the
surplus was augmented in that week Of
1902 through the disbursement by the
secretary of the treasury of about ST.
500 600 for bonds which he had pur-
/ chased with the object Of relieving the
monetary situation. The total reserve
J was thereby increased S17.06 100 and
J the surplus reserve by $12,173,225, COM
pared with the previous week. Among
the minor changes shown by last week
: bank statement was an increase Of
S139,40 in circulation The loans ex-
ceeded the deposits of ST., 3S4, 400, an in
. crease of $3.50, 300, compared with the
previous week; the excess is the largest
reported since July 1. The public de-
pOsits show a decrease Of $4,000. The
daily average Of clearings last week
were 100000, as against $1S7 900, 600
in the previous week, and the cleaTings
1 on Saturday, rejecting the business of
4 Friday, were $780, ,137, or $4,000, 600
/ below the daily average. Comparisons
\ of changes in the item of loans show
/ that five banks gained 100000 net, and
\ one Of these institutions largely in
! creased it's discounts. Three Of these
/ banks lost $500, 600 net in cash.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Buying of both De
cem0er and May wheat by houses with
81 Louis connections was the feature in
the wheat pit, and the demand from that
source became so urgent, with only light
oIfeSlngs, that the market was strong
throughout the day. Local traders
showed more disposition to buy than for
ing IN the situation to warrant such ac-
tion- The only semblance Of bull factors
was the possibilities of war in the Orient
and the small movement i'm the north
west, out this was sufficient to create a
strong demand. December opened &c
lower to &c higher, at S0dS02s and soon
after the opening, when the price of De-
cember at St. Louis began to advance by
big strides, due to the COngested cOndi-
ton Of the market there, the price here
followed suit and ruled strong the re-
was reached just before the close. when
December sold up TO S14sc. The close was
al 6lAQ6l9s, gain of 1lN1H for the day
Corn was firm on the face of a some
what large trade. After selling between
44hq449s, December closed with a gain Of
e. at 445s.
Oats were influenced by the bullish SEN
tlment in other grains and the market
showed good advance. December closed
with gain of sc. at 1864. after ranging
between 361s and 36hd36%4.
Ribs for October delivery had a sharp
break early in the day. but later reacted
recovering all Of the early loss. The re-
mainder of the list was firm. the strength
in grain being the chief influence. Jan
uary pork closed 221ac higher January
lard was Up 15c, while ribs were Ice high

War on the Meat Trust.

At the annual meeting of the exc

at Des Moines, the war against the
meat trust was enthusiastically in
dorsed and it was decided to cooper
ate with the Independent packing corn
pany which is being promoted by the
officers of the National Live Stock as
ISOLATION. A. B. Judson of Hillsdale,
master of the grange, declared that
the four representatives of the big
packing houses Of Chicago meet every
afternoon and fix the price Of live
stock, as we'll as dressed meat, regard
less OF the law of supply and demand.
He produced statistics to show that
the meat trust has beaten farmers out
of $100,0o00oa in the past year. The
price of dressed meats is today pyac-
tically the same as it was year age,
despite decrease of 20 to so per
cent in the price of live stock.

Armour Company Loses case,

For violating the state diary law the
Armour Packing company OF Chicago
has been found guilty by jury in the
district court at Des Moines. The
case has been tried four times and the
Armours have lost each time. An ap-
peal will be taken to the supreme
court. as the oleomargarine business
IN this state will be killed should he
verdict stand. The Iowa law provides
that oleomarsarine cannot contain any
yellow. On a technically involving
the construction of the word yellow
the defendant secured one disagree
ment and two amendments to the in
dictment. The case has lasted for
| Six months and has been contested Ivy
the hest legal talent of Chicago ami
Des Moines. The penalty for the Of
tense consists of heavy fine, but the
principle involved Is more serious, as
over 200 licensed dealers in the arti-
fetal butter are compelled to so out
OF business or suffer similar prose
cution.

Pay for What They Get.

The coal dealers association OF
Iowa and Nebraska adjourned their
meeting at Sioux City after passing
resolutions to prosecute a vigorous
campaign to make railroads response
Bile for all coal lost in transit. A sub
scription paper was started for the
purpose of obtaining necessary funds.
Statements by some Of the retailers
Indicated that they had paid for as
much as II per cent more coal than
they received. The plan of the deal
ers is to weigh all cars upon delivery
II the railroads will not. and keep
an accurate record OF the losses in
transit. The railroads will be made
to produce bills Of lading, which are
not now commonly demanded.

Sensation in Iowa City.

A sensation was created in business
and social circles in Iowa City when
James c. Cochran, one of the most
prominent citizens of that place, was
sued in the district court by Mrs.
Jennie B. Lee, who charges him with
five offenses against her and the laws
Of Iowa. She AYERS that he made two
criminal assaults upon her at her
home, that he also assaulted her in
his office and threatened to eject her
from her home, as owner, unless she
submitted to his demands. for all OF
which she claims damages of $4,000.
The warm friends of the defendant
ridicule the accusations. and declare
1t is case Of blackmail on the part
OF the plaintiff.
