LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

A statement has been compiled in the
office OF the controller Of the currency
which shows incidentally the number of
states in the Union where a supervision is
maintained over state banks. In some
cases the state examiners are authorized to
extend their supervision to loan associa-
tons and building associations, and, in
fact. to every sort OF institution where
money is taken as a deposit. It is found
that In eighteen Of the states an examina-
ton Of banks is authorized by law in much
the same fashion as the United States laws
establish a governmental inspection over
all national banks.
Changes in the methods of doing bust
ness seem to be the policy to some extent
at least among the financial institutions
Of the city. Such changes are apparently
along the lines of enlarging the bounds Of
the business. 1t is said on very good au-
a slight extent from the prevailing GUS
tom here of national banks not paying in
terest on deposits. 1t Is understood that
all such interest accounts are what are
known as time deposits and not the usual
open accounts.
The financing Of the plan of enlarge
ment adopted recently by the board Of d.
of rather large detail. To purchase the
square selected. namely Van Ness Park, on
which a payment has been made, and the
erection of the first OF the group OF build
ings which is to occupy the four sides of
the square will require about a half mill
lion Of dollars. It Is likely that some por-
ton Of the realty holdings in this city of
the university will be disposed Of during
the coming summer. One of the properties
that is available for such a purpose is the
office building on 9th street opposite Ju-
dietary square and 1t is probable that It will
be sold. The value Of the university hold
ings in this District is estimated to be over
a million dollars. while the encumbrances
aggregate only between three and four
hundred thousand dollars.
There has been a suggestion that pos
sibly Mr.. Rockerfellow might become suf-
flciently interested in this great enterprise
to make it the object Of his benevolence
However. he has as yet given no positive
indication OF his purpose in this direction.
There Is entire confidence on the part of
those directly interested that the ways and
means for carrying out the plans will be
provided. as the Endorsement Of the pro-
posed scheme Is unqualified from all those
who have given any attention to the sub
sect.

DUE TO WASHOUT.
Traffic Suspended Yesterday on Line to
Leesburg. ~.

Traffic on the Bluemont division Of the
Southern railway was at a standstill from
about o'clock last evening until about
noon today, on account of n washout at
Tuscorora creek, between Ashburn and
Leesburg. Va. The flooring OF the bridge
over the creek and portions Of the en-
bankments on which 1t rests were car
ried away by the swollen stream, caused by
the heavy rains.
Reports as to accommodations furnished
to passengers who were delayed by the
washout are conflicting At the Office Of the
Southern railway it was stated that al
though many passengers were greatly de-
layed, they were finally transferred from
one train to another. One passenger stated
to Star reporter that many persons who
were on the way to Leesburg and other
points beyond yesterday were compelled
to spend the night in the cars. ~
Assistant General Passenger Agent Mer
gan stated this afternoon that so far as
he could ascertain no passengers were COM
PEELED to remain in the cars over night
and that everything possible was done to
get the passengers In town on time. He
explained that the bridge over .Tuscorora
creek had been repaired and the embank-
ments strengthened and that trains would
be running on the regular schedule this
afternoon.

SIGNIFICANT STATISTICS.
Vast Increase in the Consuming Power
of the Country.

The growth in the consuming power, OF
the United States in this period Of business
activity is illustrated by figures completed
by the treasury bureau OF statistics show
ing the importations and expectations by
great groups during the eleven months
ending with May, 1903. These figures in
dictate that while the expectation Of man
ufactures has increased only H.0o0O00
as compared with the corresponding
months OF last year, the importation Of
manufacturers materials has increased
$66. 1900 as compared with the same
months of 1902. and $131 100000 as compar-
ed with the corresponding months OF 1901.
AS 1t can scarcely be presumed that the
manufacturers Of the country are import
ing in excess of their present or Immediate
IL prospective requirements, 1t would seem
that the increase in manufactures which
this growing Importation Of materials IN
dicates is being consumed at home, since
expectations of manufactures for the year
show no material increase.
The principal articles In which the In
crease in importatfons of manufacturers
materials occur are raw silk, which shows
an increase of a million and half pounds
which the detailed statements are at hand;
india rubber, which shows an increase In
quantity of three and a half million
pounds In the ten months over the same
period of the preceding year: and manila
hemp, which shows an increase of more
than 10 per cent in quantity imported.
Fibers as a whole show an increase Of
s4,OO0.OOO comparing the ten months Of
this year with those of 1902. Iron in a
partially manufactured state for use in
manufacturing also shows a large increase.
Not only has the Importation of manu-
facturers' materials increased, but the
home production of the great articles used
in manufacturing has also increased. The
production of pig iron in the United States
in 1902 amounted to 1881 .3O7 long tons.
against Ii. $50 242 tons in 1900. an increase
of over four million tons. nearly thirty
per cent; while cotton production shows
an increase of over million bales and
wool a gain of thirty million pounds, COM
