Increase of Meat Prices in Germany.
United States Consul John E. Kehl
reports that butchers associations in
Germany have. within the past two
months. held many meetings to devise
means OF stopping the continual de-
crease In the supply OF live stock
available, This scarcity exists
throughout the whole empire. natur-
ally increasing the price Of meat. In
there WAS y deficit OF 1864 head Of
cattle (slnushtercd). as compared
with the same month in 1901. For
the last half OF August tfrom the 10th
to the 30thD there was a general de-
crease OF 22.566 head OF slaughtered
stock. rs compared with the same
period OF 1901. These figures are
crzeitung. The decrease of available
stock In the Dresden market for the
first seven months of this year, as
compared with the same period Of last
year. was: Beef 2.014 head; swine.
23.1GO head: calves. .955 head; sheep,

for l mark (23.8 cents) per pound. In

pfennings GA cents) was made last
month on all kinds of meats and
sausages. 1t is safe to say that almost
every city OF more than $4,000 in
habitants has. since the 1st Of jan
uary OF this year. experienced an in
crease In the price OF meats. From
June, 1900. to June. 1902, the price of
live hogs has risen 25.S per cent In
laboring circles the use OF meat, due
to high prices, Is diminishing, which
accounts for the gain of $1,223s71G in
the import of fresh and smoked fish
and herring, as compared with 1900.

Wheat and Oats-PrOvisions I'm

the influence of a cold-wave scare the mar

made at TBc, but with nothing else of inn

gradually declined, with the break in corn.
The close was at the low point. at 77ssc. a

smaller than a year ago and primary re-
ceipts were less than last year, being es-
timated at 425,O00 blu, against 54l,OO0 bu a
year ago. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 224, 600 blu. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 295 cars, which,
with local receipts of 10 cars-one OF con-
tract grade-made a total. of 3l4 cars,
against 233 last week and 3s2 year ago.
Trading in corn was extremely active
and local longs took advantage of the OPP
portunity and disposed of heavy lines
which resulted in a break in the price. but a
good demand from commission houses pre-
vented any serious decline. Prospects OF
cold weather throughout the corn belt

in bringing out the selling orders, although

"CROwN LANDS APPROPRIATION.
An Outlay Of Public Money Merely to
Save Trouble.
Washington Star.


1t is difficult to understand why, save on
the ground of charity, the Senate appropri-
atoms committee should now agree to pay
Mrs Lydia Dominis, formerly Queen of Ha-
wall, 100000 of the public money i'm lieu
of all her claims for the so-called crown
lands of Hawaii. Ever since her dethrone-
ment by the act of the people of Hawaii
Mrs. Dominis has pressed this claim per-
sistently. especially since the collapse of
President Cleveland. Occasionally she has
pleaded poverty and need, but the scale of
the establishment maintained by her has
never strengthened that argument. Tech
nically there Is no foundation whatever for
her demand for reimbursement for the
lands which passed with the control of
the state from the monarchy to the Repub-
erty. They were used by the royal families
OF Hawaii as appurtenances of the royal
establishment. as were the palaces and
other accompaniments of rule. The Kings
and Queens of Hawaii were not necessarily
succeeded by their immediate blood de-
scendants, the dying chief nomina ting his
successor. Thus the crown passed from one
branch OF the royal family to another and
With IL the crown lands. There could be
no alienation of these lands. and nothing
in their history suggested that they were
other than parts of the public domain.
When Liluokalani ceased to be a queen
she ceased TO enjoy any interest in them
She has evidently wearied the Senate into
making this concession for the future peace
of Congress 1t may be a small price to
pay for peace. but il is nevertheless n
concession for which there is no sufficient
warrant in the records. There is how
ever. the consolation that this affair will
hardly be likely to arise i'm later wears as
bothersome precedent.

The banks now hold S. ISL 800 in excess of
reserve requirements under the % per cent.
rule; ex. United States deposits, $1S,992.S75.
The Financier says: 1.-THE associated
banks of New York city begin the month of
March with a surplus reserve of less than
S6,000,000 year ago the excess cash
reached above legal requirements was APP
proximately 100000, and two years ago
S15, 100000. This will give an idea of the
present situation. The statement for the
current week Is favorable in one particular,
namely, that while the loss in actual cash
was $4,S43000, reserves decreased only S.,
0S9, rs, owing to lessened requirements due
to a contraction of $7,012, 800 in deposits. AS
a matter Of fact, however. the traceable
movements of money indicated loss of
between eight and nine millions cash by the
banks. so that the statement shows more
favorably than circumstances seem to war
rant There is an almost unaccountable
discrepancy between the loan shrinkage of
only So, 400 and the heavy deposit loss, ex-
plainable partly on the assumption that the
bank averages published are misleading
Taking the statement a whole it indi-
Gates that halt has been called in the wild
loan expansion of last month. for the rea-
son, on one hand. that requirements have
been satisfied, and, on the other, that the
banks cannot continue to further expand
their commitments. feature of the week
that attracted attention was the sudden de-
mand from the West for currency. This
movement is not abnormal at this season,
but it came suddenly. The effect on the
surplus reserves was instantly apparent,
and some interest is expressed as to the
volume of the Western money now loaned
here which may be called home. The banks
also have been losing heavily to the sub
| treasury, but IL the Aldrich BILL now pend
| ing in Congress, is passed, this constant
| source OF disturbance and incentive to
| higher money rates may be removed. II
| is needless to repeat that the frmer money
market of the week is explained by the cur
| rent statement. Theoretically the situation
| seems to warrant a continuance of this fea-
| ture. but that it foreshadows a season of
| dullness in speculation Is uncertain. Actual
| bull markets have been conducted in the
| face of a money situation quite unprom-
| Using as that now presented, but if the past
| course of the banks is a criterion, mer-
camille loans will have preference over
stock requirements during the spring sea-

Moral: Don't run for a train in Chicago.
George w. Dye, of Jacksonville ILL., gem

along La Sale street a hand entered his
pocket and then he felt his pocketbook come

Dye yelled for a policeman. and one came
and seized Martin. then started for the Har-

was protesting his innocence and Dye was
pleading that he would lose his train along
with his pocketbook.
Finally the patrolman consented to take
Martin to his office, and there the manager
convinced Dye that Martin was innocent

Thus far this year the receipts are over 1900

beginning of the week the conditions were not
materially different from those prevailing at
