BANKS SHOW LARGE
INCREASE IN LOANS
Conditions i'm New York Are
Such as to Encourage
Liberal Lending.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The Financier
says: The striking feature of the official
statement Of the New York associated
banks this week was the increase of $13,-
522. 500 in loans. This was notable chief
Iy because Of the fact that loan expan-
sion in the last weeks of the year is quite
unusual, banks generally being in no con-
dition to extend liberal accommodation to
borrowers until after the turn of the new
year. The excellent reserve condition of
the institutions in the previous week and
the accumulation of funds in the banks
IN anticipation of the disbursement of in
terest and dividends Immediately after
the beginning of the year, doubtless en-
couraged liberal lending, which will ac-
count for the above noted Increase.
Cash reserves increased by the net
amount of $2,957 500, the specie gain be-
ing $3, ,264, 500, while the legal tender loss
was 1907 600; the increase in specie large
ly reflected payments for imported gold
during the week. The deposits were
augmented s17, ,6s4, roo, or 81, ,154, 800 in ex-
cess of the total of the gain in loans and
in cash; hence the statement showed a
good balance. The required reserve was
increased, through the higher deposits, by
/ 81, ,408,6 ,675.
Deducting therefrom the net gain in
cash leaves 81, ,450,S75 as the decrease in
surplus reserve to So, ,574, ,625. Calculated
upon the basis of deposits less those of
$36. 849, 500 public funds, the surplus Is
$21. .7S6, $50.
The statement was doubtless made on
rising averages for cash, there having
been paid by the assay office on Friday
$,250, 900, in addition to the amount dis
bursed for the weeks assay of bullion,
this amount representing balances due on
previous assays: the above named sum
counted for only one day, or One-ffth Of
the amount in the statement. The daily
average of clearingS for five days was
$201 600, 000 against $197, 000, 900 in the
previous week, indicating increased busi-
ness in the commercial markets and also
some Of the changes incident to the close
of the year; the clearingS on Saturday
representing Thursdays transactions
were $236, ,674, 721, or much above the aver
age.
One minor feature Of the statement was
a decrease of $73I,7 zoo in circulation. The
loans were in excess of the deposits by
$26, 344, 100. Comparisons Of loans show
that nine of the largest banks increased
this item by $12, 900, 600. Seven of these
institutions gained 81, 100000 net in cash.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-The statement
of averages of the clearing house banks
of this city for the five days of this week
show: Loans, 1892, ,262, 500, increase, $13,-
522, 600 deposits, $865, ,91S, 700, increase,
ST., 634, 700; circulation, $45. 1904 400, de-
crease, $731,700; legal tenders, $67, 902, 500,
decrease, 1907, 900; specie, $161, ISL 800, in
crease, So, 264, 800; reserve, 1929, 054, 300 in
crease, 81, ,957, 800; reserve required, $216s-
479, ,675, increase, 81. 408, ,675; surplus. $12,-

Hon. W. J. Miller, Of Batesviile,
Mississippi, was among the dlstin-
guished visitors to Okolona last Thurs
day, and received many encouraging
words in support Of his candidacy for
State Treasurer. Among the younger
element of the state, especially those
who are anxious to see the state take
first place among all its Southern
sisters, are enthusiastic for Mr.. Mil
lers' election. Mr.. Miller has been
auditing clerk In the state auditor'e
Office under Mr.. Cole, since that gem
tleman took charge of his Office in
1900, and is considered one Of the
most proficient gentlemen In c0nnec-
ton with the state service at Jackson.
We cheerfully give space to the fol-
lowing excellent notices of his candi-
daey, one from the Oxford Globe and
the other from the Panoiian, Mr..
MilleF's home paper:
Hon. A. s. Kyle, of Pamela county,
has withdrawn from the race for
State Treasurer. Mr. Kyle assigns for
this act that he is unable physically to
make tire canvass. He is a good bust
ness man, and would have made 8
good treasurer, had be been elected
to this position. This leaves the race
between Mr.. Jones Miller, of Pamela,
and Gen. Sharpe, of Lowndes. Mr..
Miller, it seems, will lead In this race
and the Globe wishes him success.
He lie a man we'll qualified In all par
ticulars to fill the place for when he
aspires. For q number OF years be
was the sheriff of his county, and she
never had a better one; any support
contributed him by Lafayette viii be
appreciated by her sister, Pamela
Oxford Globe.
The many friends of MI. W. J. Mill
Ter will be glad to know that be is
making favorable progress in his
effort to secure the nomination for
state treasurer. He was born and
raised near this town, and bis friends
Fnow that when he starts in 4 strng-
gle, he will be hard to beat. AS a pub
lie officer, he fills his place in a way
that leaves no cau~e for complaint; as
q man, he is a companion and neigh
Dor whom n only has to know to
appreciate.

state treasurer, and If the wishes of a
majority of those among whom he was
raised and who have known him all
his life count for anything he will

H. p. Davis, editor of the Halls,
Tenn, Graphic, and who once lived
in Mississippi, was in town 3 few days
ago, after a trip through the Delta and
other parts OF the state. In speaking
Of the gubernatorial race he said:
"There Is no question about the cleo
ton of Vardaman. He will win in the
first primary. When / was in the
Delta the anti Vardamsn men told
me that Vsrdaman would carry that
part of the state, but that East Mlssls-
sippi was 10 solidly against him that
he would be badly showed under.
When l got to East Mississippi / was
told by the few Critz men l found
there that Vardaman would carry
East Mississippi, but would be so
badly beaten by Crltz in the Delta
and other parts of the state that he
could not possibly win. / found a
large Vsrdaman following even at
West Point, Critz's home, and from
VardsmSn's strength In the country
districts of Clay county it looks IS il
he win carry that county. While l
found many anti ardaman men,
both in the Western and Eastern
parts of the state making extrava-
CANT claims for their favorites, ]
found a number OF Noel and Oritz
men who acknowledged that Vsrda-
man had the race already won"

THE BUSINESS

Interviews obtained In New York
from various lines of business tend to
indicate healthy trade conditions
generally through the approach Of the
dull season and the uneasiness result

They encourage q conservatism that
Is distinctly healthy.
