THE FINANCIER,s STATEMENT.

New 1ork, July 22.--Ihe F1nancler says:
 The most notable feature of last weeks official statement of the New York asso- ciated banks were the large increase in loans and the small gain in cash. The loan expansion of Sl9,$bs.600 was doubtless due to the placing of the money that was re ceived by the Japanese bond syndicate in the previous week, when application was made for these securities; these loans were not fully reflected in the statement of that week owing to the average system and thA balance reflected was brought over into last week.
 There was some contraction in this item posits which partly offset the above noted expansion. The small cash gain of $21,700 was somewhat surprising, though the pre- liminarv statements which were based upon shadowed this result Deposits increased SIS, 3So. 900 almost wholly because of the loan expansion.
 The statement showed a good proof. the in cash being only s7Oo, 300 In excess of the deposits. It is noteworthy that the hold fngs of public funds were reduced S2,S72.- 500. compared with the previous week. re the treasury call. The required reserve was Increased $4595, 900 as the result of the gain in general deposits. deducting there from the gain of s21.700 cash as above left s4573 300 as the decrease in surplus reserve to s1I94s.950-
 Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of public funds the surplus is sl7,- osI.57b 1t may be noted that the item banks will. during the current week, be still further reduced in consequence of the competition of surrenders. 1t Is now lower than it has been at any time since de posts 9f public funds separately ing fine week was t23s 900. 900. or slS.O0O.- SsQo lsas than In the previous week.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-The first shoot
ing and the most serious assault since
the commencement of the Montgomery
Ward & Co.'s strike occurred late
this afternoon at Van Buren, and Sher.
mar streets. Charles Ocker, a non
union teamster, was leaving the At.
lantic hotel, when he was attacked by
a union picket. Ocker drew q re.
volver and fired twice at his assailant,
but both bullets went wide and one of
them struck Walter Klager, a team
ster. who was unloading a wagon half
a square away. Ocker was arrested.
Klager's wound is not dangerous.
Shortly after this trouble was over,
John O'Reilly, OF St. Louis, who was
walking on Van Buren, street, near
the scene of the shooting, was attacked
BY union teamsters and beaten into
insensibility. 1t was believed by the
teamsters that he had been working
for Montgomery Ward u Co., but
