The Financier's Statement.

New York, March 1s.--The Financier says this week:
 The official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week was quite unfavorable. It showed a large decrease in cash partly as the result of lighter receipts of currency from the interior but chiefly because of the sur renders of public deposits in response to the treasury call which was issued last November and which was finally matured on Wednesday; the operations of the treasury incident to the require and to remittances of excess internal revenue collections contributed to the loss of cash. The decrease in this item was, however. smaller than that which was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the week. the latter indicating a. loss of 1,756,- 100, while the bank statement reported ancy was due to the fact that the prin- cipal movement out of the banks, the transfer of pubic deposits, was com pleted by Wednesday, thus causing this three days of the bank week. The deposits were $13,227.700 which is only $554,9O0 in excess of the sum of the re- duction in loans plus the loss of cash, proof The required reserve of 25 per cent against deposits decreased $3,306,- 925- deducting which from the loss of cash left $4,123,975 as the reduction In TeSeTNS tO SOp1O1,ltO the SmdIl- est in recent years. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $lS,- 302,20O public funds, the surplus Is $9,- 726,725. Loans were contracted $75,- 241,900. partly because of calls incident to surrender of public deposits. but principally as the result of the rectih- cation of the reserve conditions of the previous week, a large number of the banks then showing deficiencies. The holdings of public funds last week were $1S,302,200 against $19,916S00. March 4, the reduction of $1,614,600 re- fecting the surrenders of these funds by thesNew York depositors alone The daily average of bank clearings for the week was $344,0OO,0O0 against $2SS,- 100000 in the previous week; the in crease was largely due to shifting of loans. The clearings on Saturday rep resenting Fridays business were $363,- 56S.059. Comparisons of changes in loans show that twelve banks reduced this item by four and two-thirds millions. net; ten banks lost six and four-fifths millions, net, cash.

 It was the want of cotton by the world, especially by Great Britain. that has created this demand but 1t may be that with the passing of March shipments to Europe that foreign spin ners will have taken their full quota for immediate requirements and they may decide to await further develop ments in connection with the proposal to reduce the acreage this spring and keep close observation on the progress being made in planting operations. noting the character of the weather all the while.
 According to The New York Chron- icle, farm work made favorable prog ress during the past seven days, for while scattered rains occurred in the Southwest. the Central and Eastern portions of the belt were practically rainless; the season, however is said to be later than the average. There Is plenty of moisture in the ground. however, and when planting has been completed 1t will not take long for the seed to germinate as was the case two years ago when a great deal of re- planting had to be done on account of the failure of the seed to germinate for want of sufficient moisture.
 As regards trade conditions, reports from Manchester continue very fatter- ing and advices from the Continent and Europe denote some improvement in that quarter, which is also the sub stance of reports from New England. There Is an ample supply of spinning material at all mill points and in course of transit, and mill takings hereafter will probably work more in favor of a larger consumption. but the large es- inmates for consumption of more than 11,450.000 are not likely to be realized, MT.

THE VALUE OF THE SILO.
Twenty Per Cent. Added to the
Feeding Value of Corn By CUT
ting nnd SLIDING II.

We have commended for years that
The United States, with its great corn
plant, has the bulge on the entire
world in the production of meat or
dairy products, and the experiments
which have been made by different
stations show that 20 per cent. at least
can he added to the value by the corn
crop by sioling It. Many of our read
ers no doubt are aware that Fayette
and Madison counties, in Ohio, carry
on some very large feeding operations.
Humphrey Jones Is a large feeder who
has on his farms silo capacity of about
5000 tons, and has been adding to the
capacity from year to year. Three or
four years ago Mr.. Jones wrote us that
after carefully weighing the steers,
Weighing the silage and estimating ten
tons Of silage to the acre, he estimated
the feeding value Of an acre of corn
at $40. A bunch of fifty steers was
bought and divided in Two lots Of
% each on the farm Of Mr.. Funk, in
Mclean county, III. Half Of them were
fed on silage, hay and grain, the other
half on shock corr right from the
field, hay and grain. The ensilage-fed
steers were followed by one shote in a
starving condition, the other steers fed
on shock corn were followed by sew
eral shotes which continued to thrive
and gain. This demonstrates to our
mind that the si'oing Of corn in a meas
IRE cooks it; that Is fermentation goes
on, and really the first steps of diges-
non are taken right in the silo Itself.
