 Surplus, s14,s4ss50; decrease, s4,57s,9OO.
 Ex. United States deposits, $17,OS1575; decrease, S5.2sl, 1875.
 New York, July g .--The Financier says: The features of the New York associated banks were the large increase in loans and the small gain in cash The loan ex- pansion of $1905S.6o0 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 sys- tenn and the balance reflected was brought over into last week. There was soma contraction in this item as the result of LII puDllC uepOSllS WHICH part ly offset the above noted expansion. The small cash gain, 1.700,. is somewhat sur prising. though the preliminary statements which were based upon the traceable movements of money foreshadowed this result. Deposits increased S1S,3S0, 900, all most wholly because of the loan expan- sion.
 The statement showed a good proof the sum of the increase in loans. The gain in cash being only $7O0, 300 in excess of the augmentation in deposits. It is noteworthy that the holdings of public funds were reduced s2S72,30O compared with the previous week. reflecting sur- renders of these deposits under the treas ury call. The required reserve was in- 1 creased $4599,000 as the result of the gain in general deposits. deducting therefrom the gain of $21 700 cash as above left S4,- 573,30O as the decrease in surplus reserve to $14,949,950 Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of public funds the surplus Is $17,0S1.575. It may be noted that the item of public deposits held by the New York banks will during the current week be still further reduced In conse- quence of the completion of surrendership 1t is now lower than it has been at any time since deposits of public funds were separately reported in the bank state ment. The daily average of bank clear ings during the week was s239, ,OOO 900, or $4S,000,0O0 less than In the previous week.

 Leak Caused Explosion.
 q am of the opinion that the cause of the accident as far as [ can ascertain was small leak in boiler B. Boermaker was on his way to repair 1t and was pass- ing through engine room when accident occurred. Boiler B was forced to stern through its bullShead and came in contact with boiler D. which was also forced through its bulxhead, and both boilers ex- ploded with two close explosions.
 .'There was no noise only thick thud, which filled the ship from stem to stern full of scalding steam, soot and ashes, even so much so that the deck was unhab- itable,l and those who were not blown overheard jumped overheard for air, and in my opinion many of these were drowned, for I still have seventeen miss- ing that cannot be accounted for.

Many Colorado farmers have been
induced to grow this variety of wheat
on dry tracts of land where water
could not be obtained with good crops.
One farmer in particular. near Platte
Vile, got AZ bushels per acre off of un-
Irrigated land, during the last year.
But he met with the same difficulty
that all the others have. The miller
would not accept the grain because it

"Mr. Hottie is accepting Durum
wheat at his mill at the same price as
the other varieties and has received
lorders for Durum -four from out of the
state which he has had difficulty in
filling because of scarcity of the grain.
The farmer from P~latteville who rails

wheat to Fort Collins and got $1.65 a
