New Class of Immigrants.

The recent labor jars in Italy are drlv-
ing new class of immigrants to this
country and during the last few months
there has been perceptible increase of
immigration from the northern provinces
of Italy and particularly from Lombardy.
OF course, the largest immigration from
Italy continues to come from Sicily and
the southern provinces, but the number
from the neighborhood of Milan that
have recently arrived has attracted the
attention of the observers of immigra-
ton Most of the Milanese are skilled
hands at trades and come to this coun-
try to engage in silk weaving and the
marble and electric business. The rate of
illiteraey in the northern provinces Is only
10 per cent and in Milan only per cent,
so 1t can be easily seen that the new
immigrants are better class than the
majority of those who have heretofore
been coming from Italy. In physique they
are more stalwart and they have, which
is unusual among Italians of southern
Italy, the lighter hair, which Is an evil
dence of a stronger admixture of the Ger
man element in the population Another
feature of the new Italian immigrant Is
that he shows no inclination to settle In
colonies, but they are scattered generally
throughout the city and avoid the dis
tricts where the Neapoltans and Sicilans
predominate

Fushlmi Entertained.

Prince Fushimi's visit to New York
was made a great occasion by the Japs
In New York city. Hundreds of them
gathered at the Twenty-third street sta
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad and
shouted "Banzai" as he arrived; in fact
the welcome was not confined to the Jap
anese present as the large crowd which
assembled was equally enthusiastic as
those of the princes own nationality.
While in the city the prince occupied the
royal suite at the ST. Regis, and among
those who called soon after his arrival
were Morris X. Jesup and Perry Belmont.
The following day he was the guest of
Mr.. Jesup at a luncheon of the chamber
of commerce. On his return to this city
from Boston Prince Fushimi was the
guest of the Japanese residents of New
York at dinner presided over by the
japanese consul general, Mr.. Uchida The

New York, December 10.-The Finaneier
says:
Loans of the New York clearing house

Elected in par the extensive liquidation
in the stock market. The loan contrae-
tion, however, which has been almost
continuous since the opening of Novem-
Der, has not as yet run its course, the
total reduction since the date named
now amounting to a little over 100000, GOO.
The current statement shows loss in
cash of $1,6s3,40O which is about three
quarters of million less than estimates
based on the known movements of mo-
ney. The loss contraction was responsible
In greater part for the decrease of 80,
S3S. 100 in deposits, but the statement does
not balance closely. The reduction in de-
pests brought the required reserve down
nearly two and one-half millions, so
that despite the actual loss in cash, the
total reserve of the banks stands SS2612o
higher than week ago, aggregating
s93G5,200 or excluding public deposits at
S15,191, 700. 1t Is worthy of remark that
while cash in bank has fallen abo- Sl5.-

has decreased only about half million.

has been constant and in large volume.
A noticeable feature of the statement
was the expansion of S40I6O0 in circnla-
ton. due to the action of one or more
banks in using for circulating purposes
United States bonds released through

posits.

BY JoHNlMARTHoL.

New York, December 1o-one of the
curious features of the first snowstorm
of the season in New York city is the
race for the magnum Of champagne that
awaits the first driver in a sleigh to ar
rive, each year at McGowan's Pass
Tavern in Central park. The custom was
established by the famous Gabe Case
who was for many years proprietor of
the tavern and he required that there
must be sleighlng twenty-four hoars
from the time the first claimant arrived.
This serves to increase the rivalry and
interest in the sport until the sleighing
seasons opens in earnest. 1t was elose
shave this year as to whether the sleigh
ing would last for the full twenty-four
hours, but the champagne was finally
handed to Mr.. NJ. A. Moulton. who ar
rived just a few minutes ahead of a
number of other contestants.

Hope For New Tunnel.

Business men of Sixth avenue are opti-
mistic regarding the probability of IA
vorable action by the Rapid Transit COM
mission of the plan for a tunnel on the
west side of the city. The principal DIFF
ficulty presenting itself to carrying out
the plan is the complications and DIFF
ficulties in Herald Square, which has
proven a difficult problem for the en-
gineers. The plan for a subway under
Broadway is also meeting with much IA
vor, and many business men along that
thoroughfare are in favor of the project
If the question of the temporary obstruc-
tion can be avoided. The present subway
is rapidly gaining in favor as people
grow accustomed to it they are inclined to
advocate the construction of new under
ground lines. At present there is a de-
mand for both the Sixth avenue and
Broadway lines. These two new lines will
certainly be a benefit to shoppers and the
shopping district 1t is certain that the
completion of the Pennsylvania tunnel
will render necessary increased trans
portation facilities in the neighborhood of
Broadway, Thirty-fourth and Thirty third
streets.
