The Financier says:
The official statement of the New
York associated banks last week showed
net decrease of $1,326,000 in cash in
stead of an increase of 81, 702, 200 which
was estimated on the basis of the trace
able movements of money during the
week. The discrepancy was doubtless
largely due to the average system Of
the clearing house which brought into
last week more than $1,000,000 of the loss
of cash resulting from the withdrawal OF
May 10 of $l,2o0,000 Of gold for export to
South America and probably some pOr-
ton of the s., 600 which will be ship
ped to that destination on Monday was
withdraw. al the end of the bank week.
The difference between the actual loss
of cash, as shown by the statement and
the estimated gain, may possibly also
have been caused by the Withdrawals
bv seeding trust companies as Woll as
by those who will remain in the clearing
house, which have not already made
provisions for the required cash reserve
against deposits.
The loans, contrary to general expecta-
tons, We're decreased, instead OF increas
ed, the reduction being $5,116i00. This
was most likely the result Of The eX-
tensive liquidation III the stock market
during the week. The deposits We're re-
duced by $6,224, 600 or $571,1@ less than
the amount called for by the decrease in
loans and the net loss of cash, therefore.
the statement did not harmonze The
required reserve was lesSened by 81 sos Ace
and deductng from this sum the net loss
of cash leaves $3.50 100 increase in sur
plus reserve to &c. 22 725. Computed upon
the basis of deposits less those of So
249, 400 of public funds the surplus is SIS
$50 075. Circulation was decreased though
by only the small amount Of $4,000. The
average of the daily cearngs for the
week was 1921, 100000 against $2l300.0o
in the previous week. probably rejecting
the business incident to the gamble i'll
cotton; the clearings on Saturday were
$241 .13.Si5, or 100000 greater than the
daily average. Comparisons of loans show
that five banks reduced this item by the
net amount of $500, 900 and the only i'm
portant increase was SO. 100000 by one of
these Institutions. Three banks snow
a net loss of $l,6D coo in cash. The

TO DEEPEN CHANNEL.
Work to be Started on Mon0ngahela
at Rice's Landing.

For the purpose of increasing the
depth of the fifth pool OF the Monon.
gahela river, the United States Gov.
eminent will begin work in few
days in deepening the channel oil
the river at Rice's Landing, or just
below Dam No. 6. This work can
not be done by dredging, for the
bottom OF the river at this point is
a solid plane of limestone rock
and will have to be blasted away
with dynamite. This work will re-
quire an excavation from one to two
feet deep, 700 feet long and about
100 feet Tide.
Such cut in solid rock is big
undertaking, since it will have to be
made under water. 1t is not ex-
peeted. to complete the job until
some time next year, as it is propos-
ed to make the improvement with
out interference with navigation in
any way.
The rock will be drilled full OF
holes and after the dynamite is plac.
ed in position the blasts are to be
exploded by electricity.
