statement Of the New York associated
banks showed a deficiency in the surplus
reserve for the first time since September

seem TO have made strenuous efforts 70
prevent such an unfavorable exhibit,
through liberal calling in OF loans, there
by reducing the deposits and hence the
required reserve these efforts were UNI
aVallins, the reserve requirements against
genral dposits being greater by s., 1855
than the total cash reserve and there
fore q deficit OF this amount was shown.
The cash loss as reported in the official
statement was NU,S9y COO II was due al
most wholly 10 transfers through the sub
treasury and 10 direct shipments Of money
10 New Orleans and 10 st. Louis, where
requirements incident 10 the movement Of
the cotton crop were urgent; 10 Chicago

Washington for account Of the per cent

terna! revenue collections. The general
deposits were reduced S24, $50. itA partly be-
cause Of the contraction of 81. asa. so in
loans and in part by reason of the above
noted loss of cash.
The required reserve against deposits
Wa reduced S6llf,S20, oeducting which
SUM from the decrease in cash left 81

the above noted amount of 81, 7S3,0 90 caused

basis OF deposits less SS533 900 public funds
Against which. il may be noted no cash
reserve is required by the treasury de.

IL IS noteworthy that the loans ex-
ceeded deposits by Sl5,969, 600; there is
however, nothing In the fact which should
cause apprehension, such excess of loans
probably representing the employment of
circulation, uninvested surplus and other
available items which were loaned be-
cause OF the eNigencies of the situation
10 may be observed that heretofore when
deficiencies in reserve have b0cn shown
they have rarely been continuous, the re-

serve requirements. Such gectification will
most likely tend 10 restore the surplus OF

Hormigas que cosen
J. ortiz de Ptneoo.

Entire las muchas industrias que, de
un modo mas 6 menos elemental,
practican las hormigas, esta la de la
costura. Un naturalista, Ridley, 10 ha
Observable en- una especie de estos ami
males que vive en- la India.
Ell insecto coge sus larvas con la
boca, ahora bien, estas larvas segre-
gan un hilo para fabricar su capullo;

elias como de agujas. Asf practica
un serie de agujeros en- dos hojas, y
con Ell hilo de secretion las cose de dos
en- dos, form andose nidos.

naturalista, Goeldi. ha vjsto tambien a
una hormiga del Brasil coser del mis-
mo modo las hojas de dos en- dos, en-
zig gag, con Ell mismo fin.
