The Financier says: "rhe notable feature
of the official bank statement of the New
York associated banks last week was the
unexpected loss of 1904, 500 i'm cash. The es-
Inmates which were based on the traceable
movements of money during the week
seemed almost Enthusiastically to indicate not
only an increase Of $1.41S,400 in cash, but
even large ramount as the result of Fri
days subtreasury operations. While there
might have been some slight error I'M the
calculation of loss on the interior bank
movements, on which the gains in cash,
through receipts OF new gold, the payments
for redeemed bonds and the subtreasury op-
erations were computed, these items could
scarcely fail to be accurate and ii was from
these items that the net. results were OBJ
tanned. The discrepancy of 100000 be-
tween the estimated gain and the official
of averages. The loans. as reported by the
statement, decreased $4,S56,000: this was
probably the result of the liquidation in
stocks early in the week and of subsequent
contraction of bank loans as a consequence
of the depression in the market for the
greater part of the rest of the week. De-
posits were reduced 1888, 200, an amount of
S4O2 900 in excess of the sum of the decrease
i'm loans and of the loss of cash. hence the
statement failed to prove The required re-
the diminished deposits, and deducting
from this sum the net loss of cash left $685.
lbs the gain in surplus reserve to 81, 49,
$50; this is nearly s12, 900 greater than the
surplus at the corresponding date last year.
Computed on the basis of deposits less
those of s37. 237. 800 of public funds. the sur
plus reserve is SIG, "a. 1856. Loans were in ex-
cess of deposits by SIC. 49,. 100. The daily av-
erage of clearlngs for the week was $685.
100000, against 100000 in the previous
days business, were little higher than the
average, being S186, 393, 479."

PREMIUM ON CASH WHEAT
CAUSES VERY STRONG PRICES IN
THE MARKET FOR FUTURES.
Corn and Oats Are Lower. Influenced
by Fridays Liquidation-Hos
Products show Declines.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE high premiums
which prevailed in all markets for cash
wheat was again the predominating influ-
ence to-day and resulted in n strong close.
December being up iaGasc.
Corn closed i4c lower, oats were OF Ssc,
with provisions l2Isc lower.
General anxiety on the part Of shorts to
cover their lines. pending possible further
advances over Sunday, caused renewed
strength in wheat The opening was rather
quiet and easy. due to the Indifferent ca
bles. the Liverpool market being barely
steady, Notwithstanding the advance here
yesterday December was sc lower to sc
higher at S0isdS02sc. and with some profit
taking by local longs. prices declined
trifle. December stamping off TO s04c early
in the day. At the decline local shorts
were good buyers. The demand from this
quarter gave a fair impetus to trading
and the market quickly rallied. Closing
prices were at about the best of the day,
December being up l4Qasc at so7sc. after
touching Sic. Clearances of wheat and
-four were equal to 4l4,0o0 Blu. Primary
receipts were 1,19S, 700 blu, against 1,210,7O0
a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of A9 cars, which. with
local receipts of 100 cars none of contract
grade, made total of $40 cars, against
695 last week and S67 a year ago.
The corn market still felt the effects of
yesterdays heavy selling and ruled weak
the greater part OF the day, notwithstand-
ing liberal covering by some of the leading
short interests. Lower cables, excellent
weather and increased receipts were in
luences that helped to create weak
undertone early in the session. Later. on
buying by commission houses the market
developed a steadier tendency, but closing
prices were lower. December being down
&c after selling between 441sc and 44s4G
H7sc, Receipts were 3S cars, 30 of contract
grade.
Oats were laboring under the same diff
ficulties as corn, the heavy liquidation or
yesterday having a depressing influence.
The weakness i'm corn also added 10 the
bearsh sentiment and the market was dull
and dragging. After ranging between 36hc
and 361ac December closed sac lower at 36kc.
Receipts were POI cars.
Provisions ruled weak on larger run OF
hogs at the yards than had been antici-
pated. with decline of from 1oc to zoe In
prices. Packers appeared DESTROYS OF SELL
ing but the demand was light, shorts be-
ing the principal buyers Closing prices
were weak with the January products each
showing a loss of 12isc at $3.50. $500 and

CATTLE STEADY, THE WEEK CLOS

Hass Active and Ten to Twenty Cents
Lower-Sheep Quiet and steady
Condition of Other Markets.

UNION SToCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct
17.-cattle-Recsipts. 300; shipments. 1Oo The
receipts OF cattle this week have been compare
lively liberal showing gain OF 1850 over last
week. LOO the same week a year ago and
100 over the corresponding week two years ago.
Thus far this year the receipts of cattle are
nearly 5000 larger than the same time last year
and for the month thus far there is gain of
nearly 1900 compared with the same period
year ago. No doubt csttlemen surprised
at the receipts OF cattle this week, which ag-
gregate the largest since the week ending Sept
2s. II had been the hope Of statesmen that ship
pers would not again crowd the market. and
buyers were hoping for an Improvement in the
quality Of the consignments. but both were dis
appointed. Under the circumstances there could
be but one result which natural, and that
was dull market at lower prices for the bulk
of the supplies. Throughout the week there was
a fair request, principally from local packing
houses. for the butcher steers that could be
bought around g. and at all times they were
salable at steady prices but heavier killers and
those that were lacking more less in quality
or condition found slow outlet all week and
developed a gradual weaker tendency in prices.
which at the close of the week amounted to
decline Of i5c to Csc compared with the close OF
last week The demand for good feeding cattle.
while not urgent. was generally equal to the
supply and steady prices were maintained, but
Common stocksrs, which were plentiful. moved
very slowly and IL possible were lower than last
week. There has been quite scarcity of good
and heifers all week ma buyers have been
forcec TO pay strong prices TO get their require
ments In fact. IL any different. this class of
stock represented q higher average in prices
than at the close OF last week. Common 70 fair
females. however. did not sell to any better ad-
vantage than they have for some time past
and il required considerable work to find an out
let for them The early part OF the week the
selling side were reluctant in accepting lower
prices; toward the close OF the week they be-
came more reconciled to the situation and the
result was that very satisfactory clearance
OF all kinds OF cattle finally made. The
highest prices realized this week were S555 for
steers. ATs for hsifsrs. "a for cows. ss75 for
bulls and $50 for calves. The receipts to-day
we're small and consisted principally OF stock
calves. There were hardly enough matured cat
tie the market To interest buyers, and, as
usual az the close Of the week. the demand was
unimportant. consequently the trading was quiet
and II more less difficult TO consummate
sales. but there was very little change
suffered In prices compared with the way equal
kinds sold yesterday. Quotations:

LONDON FINANCES.
Tone on the Stock Exchange Shows
Some Improvement.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-After having sur
mounted a most difficult settlement without
disaster, the tone of the Stock Exchange
under the influence of easier money condi-
tions in New York and Paris and the dis
persal of the alarmarist rumors of war
between Japan and Russia, has become
much healthier. and the general impress
sion prevails that the worst is over. Japan
csc and Russian securities, after a rapid
decline. had as rapid recovery.
Americans and Kaffirs participated fully
i'm the general recovery of prices, steel
shares being in considerable request After
a tremendous week on adverse rumors from
Montreal, Canadians closed much better
The best prices of the week were hardly
maintained on Saturday. when Japanese
securities had another relapse.

Whereas, most of the blood-curdling
outrageS committed against the pure
Womanhood Of our country and which
lead to mob uprising and lynching are
charged to MEMBER of our race.
Resolved, we make no special plea or
excuse for such criminals of our race;
we froWn upon any one who IS guilty of
the crime of assault upon women; and
we, the representatives of two million
people of the black race, desire to place
ourselves on record as saying that any
man who assaults helpless w~omanhood is
not worthy the benefits Of life, but should
be given a fair trial.
Resolved, that President Roosevelt is
to be commended by our people for his
fearless stand In favor of even-handed
justice and fair trial for all criminals
and for his declaration at a time when
