Excitement in Amador.

A report was started in Amador
Wednesday that so non-union men
were to be brought to the Fremont
Cover from Placerville that evening
Excitement ran high, and rumors
spread thick and fast. Trouble was
scented from distance, and deputy
sheriff was sent to prevent hostilities.
1t proved to be the usual boomerang.
No one came, no trouble was had, and
the deputy came home sleepy man.
Perhaps some one thought he was soon
to lose an easy job.

OFF for lone.

Prof. Williams and his grammar
grade pupils hired two rigs Friday
evening and started on their way re-
joicing to attend the commencement
exercises of the lone union high school.
The party arrived in lone and sue
ceeded in taking in the town before the
evenings exercises began. The pro-
gramme proved to be a most interest
ing one, and so delighted the young
people from Jackson that they con-
cluded to attend the dance that had
been arranged to take place after the
entertainment. The Prof. objected at
first, but being only one out of a dozen,
and all OF them grammar grade grad
yates at that, he was finally overruled
and had to submit gracefully. Being a
man WHO'S not only heavy set but rather
setin his way, he landed in the surrey on
the homeward trip with solidity that
boded ill for those who sat on the op-
posite side. All the occupants noticed
how the vehicle tipped his way, and
remarked that they believed they
would tip over. Williams only grinned
and awaited his opportunity. Finally
the horses SHE'D and Williams, so the
driver says, threw his ponderous weight
on the lower side and over went the
rig with all its occupants. The pro-
fessor got up laughing, thinking that
he had at last played even with lot of
them at least. When daylight appear
ed it was noticed that his hair was
almost white, showing that he himself
had been badly frightened. No one
was hurt, and the class agreed to pay
all damages if Williams would agree
not to tell the reporters.

NEW YORK. May 21.-The Financier this week says:
 statement of the New York associated banks last week was the large liquidation. indeed the greatest for the year in loans, to- gether with the loss in cash caused by reduction in the general deposits and conse- quently in the reserve requirements as to bring about a small increase in tho surplus reserve. The loans decreased $22,375, 100, probably the result of the cancellation of loans of Government deposits and also the repayment of some of the syndicate barrow ings. The holdings of public funds were re- .duced $6,09S.4o0 during the week, making the reduction in the fortnight s29. 2S3. 000.' This, 1t may be noted is somewhat in eX- cess of the amount of the surrenders to the treasury of the funds which were accumu- lated in the special Repositories preparatory to the Panama payment; the excess repre- senting surrenders under the second call of the treasury for public deposits The cash holdings of the banks decreased $7,0S5. 300 net reflecting the total of the average amount of gold withdrawn for export to Europe during the bank week. The average gain resulting from the payment Friday of the $9.000, 900 treasury warrants to the fiscal agents of the Republic of Panama was small, it counting for only about one and one-half millions, so as to have little influence except that 1t caused the cash item to be made up on rising averages es which amount is s411,10 less than the sum of the decrease in loans and of the net loss of cash; therefore the statement showed a
 
 per cent of general deposits decreased ST. 262,32s, dedueting from which the net loss of cash left $77.025 as the increase in sur plus reserve to $13.002.275. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $26, 400 of public funds the surplus is $t9,7k4,- 625. The daily average of bank cIearings during the week was $2O3. 900, 000 or S9,- 000, ,O00 greater than in the previous week {. the clearfngs o@ saturd~s, refIecting Fri days business, were sf91.2 109. or below the weekly average The indications seem to point to the speedy ending of gold ex- ports on Panama account, 1t being esti- mated that about $39, ,000. 900 of thls money have now been transmitted. The reduction in the rates of exchange will prevent the profitable export of the metal for these pur- poses, and the drain of gold from the banks for shipment to Europe which has been con. tinuous during the last seven weeks. will probably cease in the current week. Hence so far local bank conditions are con cerned, there appears to be little reason for looking for exceptionally firm money rates Comparisons of loans showed that eight banks reduced this item by s1s.7OO. 900 net: cash holdings of three banks decreased $4,- S00.00O net

G0E0WGffe
 NEW YORK, May 2l.-During the week the cotton market had almost steady de- cline of 90 points varied with slight reac- tons Liverpool cables from day to day furnishing encouragement for further bear efforts. the spot market abroad being the dull feature with very small sales reported in the face of three holidays Liverpool be- ing closed until Tuesday at the end of the day was very weak. The trade has been predominatingIy bearish fin the local market In spite of the fact that many fumors have been circulated to the improvement of the spot situation and the coming of New Orleans bull leaders to assist in hold ing up prices This latter report contrasts consptcuously with the fact that q few May notices circulated were not promptly stopped and had caused some uneasiness in the Southern market. In fact. the feature of the week has been the extreme weak ness in the. New Orleans market. and we might say here, that unless New Orleans has disposed of a good deal of her spot cotton recently. or protected herself by short selling any further decline. such has been experienced in the last few days, it is fear ed may complicate matters, results of which would weaken the market to such an extent that it would be difficult to prophe- sy just where it will stop. The sentiment is sill predominatingly bearish and spin ners are yet slow to take hold they are not generally free buyers of a declining market; therefore it is probable that prices may be forced as much too low as they appeared to be high recently The week end figures issued by the New York Cotton Exchange show continued falling off as compared with last year. The receipts be-
 
 sight movement is 37,0OO bales short. Re ports to the new crop vary. but during the past week the drought stricken districts in the South Atlantic and Eastern Gulf States have been generally visited by rains which nave encouraged planters and frightened the prospects for a large crop. The season is recognized as late, but &here is yet time fo get excellent results. report from Southwest Texas says young bolls are plenti- ful and the first bale of cotton expected the latter part of June. The first monthly Government report the new crop will come out on June 4th instead of the third as has been expected As we call attention 10 the fact that it compares with an aver age condition of "A 1-1O per cent last year and s5 per cent the year before. It is gem ereily considered that this coming report will show a decided improvement over last year and be about s5 per cent to s6 per cent which was the average for the past 10 years This will be very favorable under the circumstances showing an improvement of II to 12 points over last year With evil dence of good weather before. the bulls are tfmfd about rushing into the market and it is doubtful if 1t will have any material advance before the Government report comes out. We would therefore favor sales on the short side on any little reaction; at the same time would advise taking profits whenever the opportunity offers
