enforce the return to them of the
Northern Pacific holdings which they
had placed in the Northern Securities
merger. The first impression suggest
ed by this action was reopening or
the whole conflict for control of North
ern Pacific with the threat of hostile
movements between the two most pow
erful groups of capitalists in the coun-
try. But prices proceeded on their up
ward course. This, with the amicable
conferences reported between many of
the CAPITALISTS connected with the two
sides OF the controversy, lulled the ap-
prehension of the public and even
aroused the suspicion that undisclosed
plans and policies might lie behind the
apparent hostilities. One feature of the
news which is unfavorably regarded is
the succession of small bank failures
which comes to hand. almost daily.
This evidence of widespread strain on
the financial fabric is regarded as dis
quieting.
The bond market has improved in
spite of the congestion of the dealings

lative issues.

RECORD LOANS
and DEPOSITS
Heavy Increases Shown by
Official Statement of New
York Associated Banks
ESTIMATES ARE AWRY
Corporation and Syndicate
Borrowings Are Indicated
by the Completed Figures

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Financier
SAYS: one feature OF the official state
meut OF the New York Associated
Banks last week was the new high rec
ord for loans and deposits; another
feature was the wide discrepancy be-
tween the estimated and the actual
changes in the cash items. though this
may be partially explained by the fact
that the estimates covered seven, while
the returns covered six days Of the
bank week; and still another feature
was the verv slight gain in the bank
holdings Of public funds, indicating
that these holdings were fully account
ed for in the previous week. The
banks lost $500 500 cash, while the es-
Inmates which were based on the trace
able movements Of money showed a
gain Of s546, 500.
This discrepancy was doubtless due,
as above noted. to the difference in
the number Of days included in the
estimate, and also TO transfers OF
funds Of trust companies incident TO
the placing of the Pennsylvania notes
on the last day Of the previous week.
TIE required reserve was thereby aug
mented $4.OS5. $50. which sum. added TO
the loss of cash. made S4.S3S,65O de-
crease on surplus reserve TO S22.sl6,-
400 Computed upon the basis Of de-
posits, less those Of s5e.125. 900 Of pub
lie funds. the surplus is S36.sse.750
It may be noted that, so far as the
cash is concerned. the statement was
made on rising averages. there having
been received by the banks on Fri
DAY So 1897 ,0O0 which was transferred
hither from San Francisco; this re-
ceipt counted for an average Of only
one day in the bank statement.
Loans were increased SIS, ,S25, 900, re-
fecting the placing Of the Pennsylvania
$50. .OO0. 900 notes on Friday Of the pre-
vious week, and also some further cor
poration as well as syndicate borrow
ings. The public deposits were in
creased by $4,000, indicating slight
additions 10 these funds in the spe-
cially designated repositories.
The statement did not show a good
balance, the sum Of the increase in
loans less the loss Of cash being s1.12O,-
500 smaller than the increase in depos-
its. The daily average Of bank clear
ings was 1892 0OO. 900. or S15,OoO,0o0 more
than in the previous week, and the
clearings on Saturday, rejecting Fri
days business. were S119,4127s5: these
large clearings probably indicate shift
ing OF accounts. as the volume OF
transactions on the Stock Exchange
was comparatively small on Friday.
The changes in the item of loans show
that six banks gained sl1.S00000 net.

PARIS, April 9.-Ex-Queen Isabella
of Spain, grandmother of King Alfonso,
died here at s:45 o'clock this morning
of influenza, with complications.
The American embassy, which is op-
posite the Palate Castle. on the ave-
nue. Kleber, the late Queens residence,
was early informed of the Queens
death. and ambassador Porter was
among the first to call and sign the
palace register.
The infantas Isabella. Eulalie and
Marie, daughters of the late Queen,
were at the bedside when she died.
The Queen had been afflicted with
the grip for two months. which grad
ually affected the lungs. Shortly be-
fore the Queen died the papal nuncio
was summoned TO administer the last
sacrament, but. owing to his absence
from Paris the last rites of the church
were administered by the Vicar of the
Church of st. Pierre.
Prince Ferdinand Immediately tele-
graphed the news to the King of
Spain. to Foreign Minister Delcasse
and to all the European sovereigns. NJ.
Delcasse called during the day and
was admitted to the death chamber,
and President Loubet sent an officer
of his household to present his con-
dolences.
1t is understood that King Alfonso
will not come to France for the funeral
as he did not come for the funeral OF
his grandfather, King Francis, who
died in April, 1902.
The deceased Queen had been one OF
the conspicuous figures of Paris since
she left Spain. After her abdication,
in 1870, she continued to live with
queenly magnificence here, giving
largely to charitable and religious
works.
Following the death of former
Queen Isabella of Spain the feeling is
expressed that the United States ought
to acquire her former residence for
the use of the American embassy. 1t
is one of the finest properties in Paris
and is Immediately opposite the pres
ent rented quarters of the embassy.
Since France purchased grounds for
her embassy at Washington the
French officials say it would be a
proper reciprocation for the United
States 10 secure her own embassy in
Paris. However, no steps are likely to
be taken in the matter owing to the
great value of the late Queens prop
erty.
MADRID, April 9.-In consequence of
the death of former Queen Isabella, all
the festivities connected with King AL
fonso's visit to Barcelona have been
suspended.
BARCELONA, April 9.-King AL
fcnso returned here this afternoon and
was given an enthusiastic reception.
