For instance. there was Mr.. Gran

LANGUAGES Most Spoken.

nese. but as there are so many dialects
in the language, and as these differ so
greatly in the confines of Mongolia and
Thibet from those around Picking. 1t Is
scarcely correct to say that the $780,

| New York. March 31-The Financier
says this week:
Last weeks official statement of the
New York Associated banks showed as
the most striking feature a much smaller
! loss of cash than was generally estimated
on the basis of the traceable movements
| ancy between the maximum and estimated
| loss OF about 100000. and the officially
| reported decrease of 50, 421T0O, may have
been in part due to 900 receipts of
gold from abroad, and partly TO the
unrecorded deposits In cash In the banks
for disbursement for interest which OFF,
set losses to some extent; also to trans
fers to those institutions by trust COM
panies and to other movements Incl
dent to the close of the first quarter
OF the year. Deposits decreased $780,
800, which was s1,523. 400 greater than
the sum of the contraction In loans, and
the loss of cash, consequently the state
ment failed to balance. AS a result of the
decrease in deposits the required reserve
was diminished by $2,195.2OO so that sur
plus reserve was reduced by $1,232,5O0 to
$5131 ,275 Computed on the basis of de-
posits, less those OF s11,73S9O0 public
funds. the surplus is $s.066,O00. Loans were
contracted by $3.50, 100, though an expan-
sion was looked for because of temporary
loaning of funds deposited preparatory to
the payment of April interest. The loans
were $21 213,400 in excess of deposits. The
daily average of bank clearings for the
week was nearly $23S,O00,0O0 AGAINST s27S,-
100000 in the previous week.

GORKY HOUNDED IN UNITED STATES

Maxim Gorky, reached New
York on the Kaiser Wilhelm April
I3. A large deputation boarded
the vessel to receive him, composed
of his adopted son, many revolu-
tionary exiles, the editors of several
New York socialist papers, and
representatives of the American So
cialist party. The famous novelist
seemed quite overcome by the
warm reception. Through inter
prefers he stated that Russia's con
dition was more serious than ever
before, and said that from histori-
cal precedents the success of the
revolution without arms was impos-
sible. He was received by the as
sembled crowds with cheers and
many manifestations of honor, a
banquet being rendered to him.
The Russian spies that followed
Gorky to this country took good
