HAS RIGHT TO TITLE OF LORD.

From the Chicago Journal.
 Bay City Mich, numbers among it's 30.000 citizens one of whom 1t is justly proud. He owns the title of lord" but uses that of plain American citizen. Captain Alexander Anderson Fleming has the right to the title of nobility if he were not too proud or indifferent to lay claim to it. He lives with his estimable wife and family in cozy little cottage in Bay City His right to the title has been known to him for man wears, yet he never considered it worth while to in- form his most intimate acquaintanees The captain is a native of Scotland having been born in Aberdeen sixty seven years ago.
 He has been in this country since he was 15, and a resident of Bay City since the civil war. Captain Fleming is a de- scendant of Lord Provost Fleming and the only living heir-of-lne to the title. The estates belonging to the Femings were lost in litiga- ion and Captain Fleming admits that he does not care for the title without something more substantial to go with it.

BLACK DIAMONDS FOUND
 IN A RIVER IN BRAZIL

about 10000 carats, and at the present price of $40 carat represents a loss of S40O,O 900.
 The exploitation of the Brazilian dia- mond mines by the Garimperos, 1t is un- necessary to say, was not scientific The creviees of the rocks are explored with tLe hand, the gravel being taken away in little barrels which are carried on tho head Attempts have been made to lessen the time of the work by diving for the mineral, but the violence of the stream is such during the rainy season that this plan has been but little adopted. The only method which will produce results and the one which will shortly be put In operation is tha. of draining. Dams will be erected BOO feet apart, and centrifugal pumps will be installed for the purpose of drawing off the water The results of the work cannot be a question of doubt, judging from the past performances of these diamond mines.
 The question naturally arises, Why have the diamonds been found in the Sac Jose? The answer to this is not difficult and is given when we state that the originsl rock, which formerly occupied the high plateau, has been gradually dsintcrgrated the debris of the rock being carried by rains into the Sac Jose. Because of their density the black and white diamonds were con- cealed under the sand, together with the mineral accessories which surround the precious stones Thus in the course of years these beds have been formed, beds the richness of which is incalcul-

WEEKLY AVERAGES
 OF CLEARING HOUSE
STATEMENT OF ASSOCIATED BANKS SHOWS DECREASE OF $f4,75o,7oo IN LoANs-DuE TO SYNDICATE REQUIREMENT..

New York, February 25.-The statement of averages of the clearing house banks of this city for the five days of this week shows:
 Loans s1.121, PSI, 400; decrease. s147sO7Oo.
 Deposits, s1,17S, ,s249OO; decrease, 3D. 73l ,000.
 Circulation, SAP, s29, 800; decrease. $22,SOo.
 Legal tenders, sS6, 4S1, 300; increase, s42,- 300.
 Specie, s22S ITO, 400; increase. $2.2166Oo.
 Reserve, 1909, ,6O2 300; increase. $2.216.9OO.
 Reserve required, $294,s56, ,225; decrease, $3,1 ,1s2 750.
 Surplus. s14646O75; increase. S5,4n,65o.
 Extra United States deposits. s19,7s6, 425; increase s5,S55s75.
 New York, February 25.-The Financier says:
 One feature of last weeks official state ment of the New York associated banks was the important decrease of $14,730, TOO in loans This was doubtless due to the requirement of the syndicate of bankers who recently sold 75,0OO,OO0 of Southern Pacific bonds that payment therefor should be made on Monady of this week. This requirement most likely caused the
  erages last week, and it should therefore be reflected in the statement of March A. Another feature was the increase of S2 25S 300 in the cash reserve. The deposits increased SIP, ,731 ,OO0, which amount was only $259, 200 greater than the sum of the reduction in loans, less the gain in cash, hence the statement made a good bal ance. The required reserve of 25 per cent. against deposits decreased 8. 1892 750, ad- ding which to the gain in cash made $5, Al, ,650 as the increase in surplus re- serve of $14,646,075. Compted on the basis serve of Sl4, ,646, 075. Computed on the basis funds, the surplus is $19,736, ,425. While loans are expected to decrease in the immediate future the result of above noted in the contraction, due to the Southern Pacific bond payment and also because of the direct loaning of bal- ances withdrawn from the banks by trust companies the cash reserve seems likely to be affected through the withdrawals by interior banks of their balances for em- ployment at home for crop planting pur poses. Moreover, the country institutions which are Repositories of public funds, will, at least until the middle of March, effect the surrender of such deposits through drafts upon their New York cor respondents. Therefore, some temporary derangement of the cash reserve may be looked for, because of this operation. The daily average of bank cIearlngs for the week was $33S COG, GOO, against $303, 000, coo in the previous week.
