IF, Financier's Statement.

NEW YORK. March 2e.-The Financier this week says: The striking feature of the state n,ent of the New York associated banks last week were new high records for deposits ana for loans the latter passing the billion dollar mark; the Government deposits were the high est of the year. the cash balance of the banks was S3o. o72. 900 or S796. 300 above the in crease estimated from the traceable move rnents of money during the week. The de posits were augmented Sl ,o54. 800 to new high record which amount is only S3e2, iOO less than the sum of the gain In cash and the increase in loans; therefore the statement showed a good balance. It Is noteworthy that compared with the previous week the public deposits increased by S5. 459 400 refiecting the concentration of these deposits in the es- pecially designated banks in anticipation prob ably of preparations for the Panama pay ment The required reserve of 25 per cent cash against all deposits was increased through ing which from the increase in cash leaves Si66. 300 as the gain in surplus reserve to S27. 46S,S75.

On MONDAY
Will the National Commission Com
pany Open Again.

AT the joint meeting of the re-
ceiver for the National Commission
Company, the officers and stockhold-
ers of the company, the creditors
and the local capitalists represented
by Charles N. Elliott, Thursday at
indianapolis, the affairs of the COM
pany were practically settled and ar
rangements were made whereby bus
mess will be resumed by the reorgan-
lied company Monday.
In the proposition acted on the of
fcers and stockholders of the old
company will furnish one-third of
the amount Of cash necessary to pay
% per cent. of the Indebtedness i'm
mediately, and resume business with
a cash reserve. The interests rep
resented by Charles n. Elliott will
furnish the remainder. Nearly all
of the creditors of the company were
present and all signed the joint
agreement to accept % per cent. cash
for their accounts with the rest to
be paid in three equal installments
three, nine and twelve months from
now.
Edward E. Gates, attorney for the
new members of the organization,
said that so far as he knew all ar
rangements for continuing the bust
ness would be completed before Mon
day and that the new organization
would continue to hold all of the
leases, contracts and brokers who
were on the list of the former COM
pany.
F. NJ. Ketcham, who brought suit
for receiver, was chairman OF the
meeting of creditors, and, with 9TH
ers, has accepted the terms Of set
Element proposed. 1t has been agreed
that the suit will be dismissed, costs
paid and the receiver dismissed Mon

Six-Day Bicycle Race.

New York, Dec. 1O.-The six-day
bicycle race will end tonight sharp
ly at twelve O'Clock, as yet it is i'm
possible to tell whether new records
will be made. Several of the riders
although thoroughly tired and worn
out and saving themselves for the
final six hours sprint and some Won
derful riding has been between six
O'Clock and midnight in former
years. AS the progress of the con-
test has been watched this week,
there is much talk of the aldermen
again making an attempt to stop the
six-day races in future on the
ground that they are cruel and in
human. An attempt was made to
pass such a law this year, but it was
too late to be successful. Mayor Nc
Clellan having vetoed it.

Big Crops Assured.

The July crop report Of the depart
ment of agriculture makes an unexpect-
edly favorable showing. 1t had been
feared that owing to a smaller acreage
and bad weather in some of the wheat
growing states there would be serious
decrease in this important crop as COM
pared with last year. Ii is too early yet,
indeed. to know the full extent of the
damage done by the recent heavy rains
in Kansas, but the indications at the end
Of June were that, while winter wheat
would drop off some IS, 10000 bushels,
spring wheat would more than make it
up that the total crop would be ga ,000,-
900 bushels in round numbers, against
637 200, 900 bushels last year.
That would be one of the largest
yields on record, but important as the
wheat crop is, it is exceeded in import
ance by corn. The July report makes
the first statement on the corn crop, in
dicating yield Of . 537 26S 900 bushels
on an acreage but twice exceeded,
namely in 1899 and 1902. If this indica-
ton is borne out by results the crop will
exceed that of last year by more than
293 900, 900 bushels and will be the
largest n record by a good deal. Oats
and barley also show greatly increased
yield, while rye falls off a little. or
course it Is to be taken into consideration
that the corn crop is not out OF danger.
1t has yet TO pass through critical
period of the growing season, when it
may be blasted by hot winds or affected
by other adverse weather conditions.
But unless all signs fail there is going to
be one of the largest crops Of the slap e
breadstuffs ever known in the United
States, and hence an assurance of con-
tnued prosperity for the farmers, even
II there is temporary dizziness in manu-
featuring lines. The calamity cry can
scarcely be injected into the pending
campaign.

The Pest Has Arrived.

The Portland Argus /. Responsible for
the stat ement that he much dreaded
brown tail moth has arrived in thu, ei :.
reporting one spcciman. tn. K ,ckland
Star also has discovered .eyera! .peci,
mems Ii that city. This Is very unwel-
come Information and should pu, people
OF Maine and the authorities Of state and
and towns on their guard to Aktt the
pest to the death.
The brown tail with the gypsy moth
divides the reputation at present Of being
the greatest living inseet pest 10 Masss-
chussetts. The gypsy moth 90 far a.
known does not do any harm 70 human
beings, but it Is death TO vegetation.
The brown tail on the Other hand i not
so very hard on vegetation although il
has yoracious appetite and does it full
duty by the grub department. But
the objectionable features about the
brown tail is its poisonous sting where
by II attacks the necks Of human beings.
The brown tail moth when fully
grown i little more than al inch long,
pure white In color except for the tin OF
the tail, which in the female is dark, red
dlsh brown, hence the name.
There Is another kind # white moth
that Is very thick 10 hot weather and AZ
1t is only night fling insects many
people couture the two The other moth
known as the salt marsh moth, Is nor
particularly offensive To any one. a.
though It Is classed with the insects ia
furious 10 vegetation aad is one that it
would be well enough TO kill whenever
seen. But the brown tail Is vampire
and ought to be exterminated root and
branch at sight.
Hon. a. W. Gilman, State agricultural
commissioner, who is the chief bug man
OF Maine, has his eye on the brown
tail and If notified as soon as they appear
in a town he will advise the best methods
Tor the town officers to use in getting
rid of them.
