New York. June 1O.-The Financer says:
The official statement of the New YORK
Associated Banks last week was uneX-
pectedly favorable, showing an important
gain in the surplus, largely due to the
contraction in loans and consequently in
deposits and reserve requirements. Ow-
ing to the transfer of gold to San Fran
cisco during the week and also to sub
treasury operations, an important loss
OF cash was looked for. but there was an
increase In this item, as shown by the
statement. though 1t was comparatively
insignificant being only $6l600O- The dis
crepancy between the estimated loss and
the actual gain was probably caused by
transfers from the banks of some of the
cash held by foreign bankers, which
closed out in the previous week. and by
oflsetting transfers to other banks.
The loan item was reduced 81, 762. 200, II
being affected by the operations incident
to the transfer of $56,0OO,OOO of Japanese
money. This was the amount of the final
instalment on these bonds, which was
paid to the syndicate on May 20. and that
until last Thursday was held by such
syndicate awaiting instructions from the
Japanese government. In obedience to
SuCn INSTRUCTIONS the lulluS were lIduS-
ferred to some of the larger banks and
trust companies, thus contributing to the
cancellation of the temporary loans of
this money, which had been effected by
the syndicate. The general deposits of
the banks were reduced 800 through
the contraction of loans and the required
reserve was thereby reduced $5,l6l225,
which added to the net gain of S6l600O
cash, as above, making SETTLES as the
increase In surplus reserve to 1887 500.
Computed upon this basis of deposits
less those of $l2,73l, 700 public funds, the
surplus is $13O10,425. 1t is noteworthy
that since May 20, when loans We're eX-
banded $20.709 300, the weekly contraction
has amounted to $3O905'900 and in this
interval four and a half millions of public
deposits have been surrendered, and last
week $560O0,000 of Japanese money was
shifted from banking to trust institutions
These transfer operations will in all prob
ability be reflected in the current weeks
bank returns, those of last week being
shown only in the averages. The bank
clearings for the week were likewise af-
fected by the above noted operations, and
the daily average was $l45.0OO,0O0. or $65,-
100000 less than in the previous week.

THE POOR SUCKER.

The bulls and the bears have some
terrible scraps
For blood. you would certainly guess;
They &c, at each other like Russians
and laps
And cause much constructive dis
tress:
The Stock Exchange rings with the
clamor of war,
But after the clouds have rolled by
These enemies meet and look over the
score
And heartily dine on lamb pie fry.
To look at the fight from the gallery,
1t seems to your unpracticed eye
That each has the other one marked for
But, oh, they are devilish sly!
They roar and they below and paw
up the dirt
The fight doesn't look like sham
But notice the bulls and the bears are
not hurt.
But wee to the meek little lamb!
The lambs into Wall street unwittingly
A roll sticking out Of each hip:
The bulls and the bears In a terrible
fray,
As gunners on board Of ship;
They put up bluff that Is noisy and
strong
No mention Of quarter or peace.
Though neither Is hurt as the game
moves along,
The lamb is soon minus his fleece.
The bulls and the bears live In palaces
tall.
Eat beefsteak In spite Of the trust;
The lamb Is I'm luck with a lodging at
all.
And his humble meal Is crust.
That's after he's been In the grind sew
eral days,
And wiser has grown and quite tame,
And knows that they skin a man for
ty odd ways
Who plays at the other mans game.
