TALE or 20 STORY TENEMENT
With Department Store Downstairs-On
Trouble, 1t Isn't True

Tr0unle, IL isn't True.
A Brooklyn newspaper printed yesterday
n story that Brooklyn was soon to have q
tenement house that would take up a whole
block and be twenty stories high. The
ground floor, it was said, would be occupied
by Wana maker. from whom the tenants
could purchase their supplies at cost price
Rents were to be reasonable. and, best of
all, the projectors of the enterprise would
welcome children to this model tenement
Mrs. o. H. p. Belmont and other well
known women were said to be interested in
the enterprise, which is to be woman's
undertaking.
1t was very pretty story, and seems
to be all right except for the facts. o. H. p.
Belmont said last night at his home at
Hampstead that he hadn't heard that Mrs
Belmont was Interested in such a project
and he felt sure that if she was he would
know something about it.
Robert C. Ogden of Wanamaker's said
it was news to him that Wanamaker was
going to occupy the ground floor of this

AVERAGE VALUES LOWERED
Distinct Pause in Upward Movement
of London Prices.

Special Cable to The Sunday Star
LONDON, March 25.-There has been no
pronounced movement either way on the
stock exchange this week, but the average
market values have been lowered somewhat.
The situation may perhaps best be describ-
ed by saying that there has been a distinct
pause in the upward movement Of prices
1t seems to be favorite theory that in
vestors and spectators have gone about the
length of their ropes and that there will
be quiet time until the end of the month
and the quarter has been passed, unless
there comes with unexpected suddenness
the realization of the strong expectation of
peace in the far east that prevails on the
stock exchange.
Another view Is that the check to adj
vancing prices is nothing more than one of
those partial retrogressions which are apt
to follow prolonged upward movement of
stocks. The week closes with consols a
trifie under Mondays opening and with
other home and colonial government stocks
fractionally down. 1t should be remarked
that all Of these gilt-edge securities have
been affected somewhat unfavorably by
new and attractive issues of capital al
ready made and pending.

FRANcesAs4ER1eAN BANK.
Partisan Prc1ect dH Strongly Approved
by Premier Rouvier.

PARIS, March Is. = Premier Rouvier
strongly approved the project to establish a
Franco-American financial institution in
Paris during a recent conversation with
James Speyer of Speyer & Co., New York.
The premier had previously shown admira-
ton for American finances as the result Of
the following incident, heretofore unknown:
During the height of the religious agita-
ton French rentes suffered serious de-
cline, causing NJ. Rouyier, who then was
minister of finance, serious anxiety. At this
juncture the heads of two leading American
insurance companies happened to be in
Paris, and it was decided that the COM
panies should take 81 ,O00, 600 of rentes. Their
agents entered the bourse and made the
purchase in a single day. The effect was
magical. Rentes became steady and then
rose, M. Rouvier's prestige was regained
and his admiration for the power of Ameri-
can funds was established. Therefore he
gave the friendliest reception to Mr.. Spey-
ers project to establish Franco-American
bank here, one purpose of which was to
place the New Mexican loan upon the
French market.
Minister of Colonies Clementel has re-
ceived a confidential report concerning the
progress and status of the Philippine Is
lands and the Island of Java. The report
Is by Governor General Lamothe of Cochin
China, who is a recognized authority on
colonial administration. Although the re-
an interview shows that it is highly ia
vorable tribute to American control of the

Philippines studying the results of Amer

nous prestige made in such compare
lively brief period. This has been greater
during the last four years than during the
$50 years preceding the American occupa-
ton. The natives are being educated, re-
.celving the benefit of municipal and pro-
vincial liberty, and are rapidly acquiring
the spirit of republican institutions. France
can take most beneficial lesson from the
splendid results of the American colonial
system

THE NEW YORK BANKS.
Official Statement Was More Favorable
Than Last Week.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The Financier
this week says:
Last weeks official statement of the New
York associated banks more favorable
than it was in the previous week, chiefly be-
cause of the large liquidation in loans and
the consequent reduction in deposits, the
latter resulting in decrease in the reserve
requirements by an amount 81 325, $50 great
| er than the loss of cash, this sum represent
| ing the gain in surplus reserve.
A contraction in loans was expected not
only because of the low surplus shown in
the statement of March Is. but for the rea-
son that there extensive liquidation in
| the stock market last week, which would
| naturally affect this item, and there was
also an absence of syndicate borrowing. A
| reduction in loans of 7,976,1o0, making
, $23, 21S600 for the fortnight, was, therefore,
not surprising.
The cash loss of 81, 61S $50 was greater by
SIT. 800 than that indicated by the estimates
which were based upon the traceable move
ments of money during the week, but this
discrepancy was doubtless due to the aver
age system of the banks. Still, it would
seem that a greater official loss should have
been shown, considering the fact that the
average traceable loss for the fortnight was
sI,S00,0GO, while the average cash decrease
shown by the banks was S6,OO0,O00.
Deposits were decreased so, 200, which
amount was $1,1S0,GO0 greater than the sum
of the contraction in loans plus the loss of
cash; therefore, the statement failed to
show good proof
Decrease in Public Deposits.
This, however, may have been due to the
weeks decrease in public deposits. which
was 1.4O2, 400. The reserve requirement of
% per cent cash to general deposits was
reduced 1850, deducting from which
the loss of cash left $1.325,150 as the in
crease in the surplus to S6.419325. Com
puted upon the basis of deposits, less those
of S16999,S 500 public funds, the surplus is
$40. 72o,275.
The daily average of clearings for the
week was $500 100000. against 1914, 100000 in
the previous week, the decrease largely re-
fecting stock liquidation: clearings on Sat
urday. representing Fridays business, were
$323, $50 694
While the statement was in many respects
encourag ing it did not seem to give any as
surance of ease in money, for this cannot
be expected so long as the demand from
the interior for crop planting and business
purposes continues urgent; a further drain
of cash would seem to make necessary adj
ditional contraction in loans in order to
maintain a reasonable amount of surplus
reserve for the season.
Comparisons of changes in loans by indi-
vidual banks show that nine institutions
contracted this item by SIS, POO, 900 net, and
one of these reported a reduction of 0,O0O,-
500; six banks lost $5,50O,0O0 cash.

Of comment beyondf the fact that the fall
ure of Russia to raise another loan has
favorably affected other foreign securities.
British rails have done poorly, traffic re-
turns. owing TO fhe prevalence of bad
weather, being quite discouraging.
American RAILWAYS were rather dull in
the early part of the week, this market re-
flecting largely New York conditions. There
has been an iihprdvement during the last
two days and thes esesing prices this after
noon were decidedly better. Mines have
improved, but only little.

Americans Opened Firm.

Americans opened firm at slightly over
parity, improved further on local support
and Amsterdam buying moderately, reacted
slightly in anticipation of a poor New York
bank statement and closed quiet.
Foreigners were quietly steady. Rus
slams were harder. The new japanese loan
was in keen demand and touched 2A per
cent premium Imperial Japanese govern
ment is of 1904 were quoted at 105. The
announcement that negotiations in regard
to the proposed new Russian loan had been
resumed had good effect on continentals.

Good Demand for Cash Wheat.

In addition to the revived interest in the
May option advices from Minneapolis
claimed that there was a good demand from
elevators and millers for all grades of cash
wheat. The effect of excellent weather con-
ditions was completely Offset the market
becoming quite bullish. May was in good
demand, but offerings were extremely light.
From $1.13 the price of that option adj
vanced to $1.14, without a single trade. At
$1.14 commission houses sold moderately
and the price reacted somewhat. A belief
that July had been largely overSold caused
fair buying of that option late in the day
The market closed strong. with My at
$1.13as. Final quotations on July were at
9oa4c.a 901sc. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to I,1OO bushels. Primary re-
