 Naw york. October 2S.-The Financier says this week
 The most notable features of the oiiiciai statements of the New York Associateu banks last week were the quite small decrease in surplus reserve; the some what important increase instead or the 1oss as was indicated by the majority ar the nreliminary estimates in cash, and an 11nexpected expansion in loans. The gain of s4 4O6. GOO in cash reserve was readily accounted for by the payments durine the week of assay of1ce checkS representing new gold and oy the eX- cess disbursemen over receipts through hanks by the sub-treasury. Loans were increased s15 300, probably the result of syndicate operations and the loaning of Japanese money, and deposits were augmented by S18,232, 300, causing an in- crease of $4,55S, ,225 in the reserve require- ments Deducting from this sum the in- crease in cash above, left slo2'22o as the decrease in surplus reserve to Sl2,- 49O,925 Computed upon the basis or de- nosits. less those of SS,52l,S00 public funds, the surplus is $14.561 400.
 The changes last week reduced the amount of loan contraction since August D. to s114,354,3 300 and the decrease in de- posits in this interval to S57, ,65O,6OO. The daily average of bank clearings during the week was S31200o,0o against s2950Oo, coco in the previous week. The exchanges reported on Saturday, representing Fri days business were S321 ,937. .294.
 Comparisons of dnanges in loans by in- dividual banks show that six institutions contracted this item by 16 25-1O0 millions seven banks lost AZ millions net cash The loan expansion was greatest by two of the largest institutions and the de- crease in cash by three banks much more than offset the gains by other institu- tions.

for the builders and landscape garden CTS. good roof is being put on and the vaults and book cases under the office or the secertary of state are completed and filled with the records and books. Mayor Teague has opened his admlnls- tration with a demand that the practice of the merchants and warehouse men keep their goods off the sidewalks and stop blocking the streets. It has long been the practice of the stock men and cotton warehouse men to keep the streets filled with vehicles in the one case and bales of cotton in the other. It has be- come such nuicanse that the mayor has determined to put a stop to it and will see that the practice is stopped.
 A meeting of the merchants, stock men and warehouse owners has been called to talk the matter over, but the mayor has laid it down that the streets and side walks must be cleayed He says that they belong to the people and that the public should not be made to suffer for the , lack of accommodations in the way of room. Already the chicken coops have been forced from the sidewalks and it seems that there will be a general dis position to make every offender along this line disgorge.

Montgomery October &.-(SpeclalJ-one hears much already of the talk incident 10 the coming of '"The Clansman" next week, and every man who has ku klux story is bringing 1t out. The gossip that HUI cates the most serious effect Is the dig- ging up of the bitternesses of the recon struction days in the south. It Is re- lated that a well-known republican leader, who came here in those days, and made himself socially very thick with the ne- groes. is in danger of having his record puIled on him now that it is very well to have it forgotten. The story goes that an old Congressional Record shows his testimony before certain committed, and that it does not make good reading at the present stage of the sentiment as re- Rards the little trouble of the north and the south.
 This had led to more talk to the eff feet that before long there will be weeding out in the south of all those old time republicans who made themselves obnoxious to the people of the south and have not lived so as to counteract the bad impression they made. TO De sure there is much of the speculative In thls' hut A few bully fellows are Wiling 10 het that before Roosevelt goes out or or flee there will be few reconstruction day republicans in high places Tn the south.
 Tn the multitude of talk that accom- nanies the visit of a President much that would ordinarily receive special at tention is overlooked or scantily noted. The presence of MT Roosevelt and ms ms entertainment was no exception to tne rule. and long after will be remempereo things that should have been teatureu 1, so to speak.

Tuskegee concerning the Work or Thomae G. Jones' judge of the United States court for the middle and northern districts or Alabama.
 By special invitation Judge Jones was member of the Presidents party rom Montgomery out to Tuskesee ana pach and sat near him while he made both speeches. He had been talking of the obligation of the white men of the south to help the negro in every way to secure his rights whatever they may be. Tufh- ing to Judge Jones he said:
 q want to tell you people that the negro owes a great obligation, an opilga- tion he can never pay, to Judge Jones io, his inflexible courage, his infiexible stand for rigbteousness in assuring to all men their justice and their rights. And as great a debt as the negro owes hlm tie white man owes him a still greater op- 1igation Judge Jones you have been d notent factor in the upbuilding of right eousness and justice to all men. It pieases me to be able to tell you lrhs.
 This reference is without doubt 10 the cotton of Judge Jones in calling upon Tinted States grand jury to indict mem hers of the mob which lynched Horace Manels at Huntsville something over year ago.
 It is not improbable that something VIII be worked out III SHUT. 'iiio nv

In the meantime minor betterments are being made at rapid rate. The old building is receiving coat of sand dash and paint and begins to LOOK as if it had gone out and gotten on holiday dress.
