TO PLAY FOR WORTHY CAUSE
Efforts to Place Elevator in Home For
lncurables.

The managers Of the Home OF Mer-
ciful Rest are endeavoring 10 raise suf-
ficient funds to put in an elevator at
the home and other conveniences for
the use Of the inmates. At the present
time the treasury is taxed to its utmost
TO meet all the needs and requirements
which are steadily growing. but the
most urgent need just now Is the ele-
vator and that must be put IN as soon
as possible, because there are several
patients 10 the home who are unable
to walk around or otherwise get about
the building. With summer weather
coming on ana the clear bright days
and fresh air SO beneficial TO them near
at hand and yet so far from them be-
cause OF the inability to get them down
stairs as often as might be possible
through the agency Of an elevator.
1t is FOR this purpose that She coming
entertainment is 70 be given In the
New-Century Club, by the same cast
and young people who gave Men.
Maids and Matchmakers" in April, and
their kindness is thoroughly appre-
ciated by the managers Of the home.
Those in charge are much encouraged
over the prospects so far presented
and all signs point to a most successful
affair. The tickets are for sale at But
ler's, No. 421 Market street, or from
anyone connected with the home. They
can also be procured on the evening
of the entertainment at the Century
Club, Wednesday, June 20.

W.llamsport June 2f.-Bressler was in
fine form, and with the superb support ac-
corded him shut out York in tri-State
game. Clay in the first inning reached
first base on a hit. Eustace's sacrifice and
a wild pitch put him on third. but after
that none of the visitors got beyond Sec
ond, and they were retired IN order in
every inning but three. Three of Fore
mans passes were turned into runs the
locals getting their hits when they were
needed. Clay's two muffs in right field
also helped and Billet was switched over
from left to stop the leak.

NEW YORK, August 2o.--The Financier this week says:
 The feature of the statement of the New York associated banks last week were new high records for specie. cash and de- posits. further expansion in loans, bringing the total to within $674s0o of the maximum on July 23, and an increase in surplus re- serve to within $3,400475 of the highest. July 2nd, 1898. The net cash gain last week was s1.4e1,1 100. or less by ss35,2oo than that which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements of money; this discrepancy may be sufficiently accounted for. 1t probably being due to the system of averages The deposits increased s2.43S. 900, which was less by $1,736. 100 than the sum of increase in loans. and the net gain in cash; therefore the statement did not bal ance. The reserve requirements were aug mented ssos,500. as the result of the in crease in deposits. deducting which sum from the net gain in cash left sss1.o0 as the increase in surplus reserve to s5S,6l3.- o75. the highest as above noted since July 2nd, 1898. when it was $S2,031,550, com puted upon the basis of deposits less those of s23, 3,37s, 300 public funds. the surplus Is S64,457, 800. The loans were expanded by s2.6s3.s00 by reflecting syndicate borrow ing and also loans of the proceeds of ster- ling and financial bills. There are indica- tions in the decline in rates for domestic ex- change at Chicago. St. Louis and a number of others. that demand for money upon this centre for crop moving purposes may soon be expected Should these expectations be realized. however. 1t seems scarcely possible that with the enormous surplus reserves now had by the banks. they can be re- duced through crop moving requirements as to cause any decided impression to be made upon local money rates. The daily average of bank clearings last week was s1s6, 900. 900. or s21. 900, 900 more than in the previous week. reflecting the increased speculation on the Stock Exchange. The clearings Saturday. representing Friday business, were $1s5,92S.4S1. Comparisons show that seven banks increased loans dur ing the week by 1 1-3 millions. net and six banks increased cash by 1 2-5 millions net: one bank expanded loans by 5 4-5 mill lions and reduced cash by 4-5 millions
