NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 1u.-ine flnaH-
cier says this week:
Last weeks official statement of the
New York associated banks was again un-
favorable. in that it showed an important
loss of cash and heavy reduction in the
surplus reserve. the latter amounting to
nearly One-half that recorded In the pre-
vious week. The cash loss last week was
IS. 297. 100. 1t would seem that this loss
was partly due to the bringing over from
the week ending February 3 Of that portion
of the decrease In cash which was not re-
fected in that weeks statement
1T was also in great part caused by oper-
atoms of the subtreasury, which absorbed
from the banks considerable sums for the B
per cent redemption fund, and likewise for
excess Internal revenue receipts that were
transferred hitherto by interior repositories
and. paid into the subtreasury out of the re-
hitting Institutions deposits with corre-
spondents. The general deposits OF the as
ISOLATED banks decreased $452,200 and the
statement showed a good balance. the sum
of the cash decrease, less the gain of $itSs2.-
100 in loans, being only $212 800 greater than
the reduction in deposits. The required re-
serve was decreased $113.O50, deducting
which from the loss of cash left S. 1874, O5o,
as the reduction in surplus reserve to
s5.943, $40, against 81. 127 625 in the previous
week. Computed upon the basis of de-
posits, less those of $S.51S, 100 public funds,
the surplus is S,0s6 $50.
1.-THE increase Of "a, $50 100 in loans as
above noted, was quite moderate, and the
smaller gain compared with previous weeks
was most likely due to liquidation of specu-
lative accounts on the stock exchange,
which to a great extent contributed to on
set expansions through other operations. It
may be observed, however, that the loans
were $1,046,300 in excess of deposits,
whereas in the week of February the de-
posts exceeded the loans by $4,O38, 600.
THE daily average of bank clearings
last week was $3.50 600 900, against $435 900 600
in the previous week: the clearings on Sat
urday rejecting Fridays business, were
1854. S93,521 Comparisons of loans by In
dividual banks show that nine institutions
increased this item by 100000 net; seven
banks lost $42o0,O00 net cash.

Why Eight-Day
 Malt Is Best
This Process Gets All of the Food sa'ae
 os the BarIey Into the Malt.

This Process Gets All of the Food saue
 Of the Barley rnto the Malt.
 The usual four day process of max. fpr malt for brewing may pc h the unnatural rapid grown ol e1t nianfed in midsummer. It makes mai, quickly, but at the sacrifice or .he si'ai food quality of the grain.
 Malt as most of our readers prop- shlv know. is the life the substance or heer and the food value of any beer Senands on the richness of the malt from which 1t is made.
 pabst exclusive eight day malt is made in natures own way, by slow growth of the barley. All of the food value of the barley Is thus retained in Pabst eight day Malt, and makes Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer the richest beer in food strength.
 Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is always pure and clean. The choicest hops and chemically pure water are used with pabst eight day malt in the brewing. All the money in the world could not buy better, purer ingredients The en- tire Pabst process is famous among physicians and scientists for its posi- tive cleanliness. From the mashing of the eight day malt until the finished product is poured into your glass Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer never comes In con tact with anything that Is not abso- iutely clean. 1t Is fermented In sealed tanks into which no impurity can enter It is run through sterilized tubes and pipes, stored for months in sterilized dramatically sealed storage tanks and pasteurized after being bottled.
 This exclusive process places Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer beyond the possibil- itly of contamination. It comes to you perfect in age, purity and strength. the best beer brewed.

The soul for which all material things were made. Is certainly the chief part of man: indeed. IL is the real man. The souI contains the heart.

He is succeeded by Elmer Oyle of Florence as freight agent and by Miss Freddie Brown as agent for the Southern Express Com pany.
 The commissioners of Colbert county are in session this week looking after the errors and i&solvents as returned by the Tax Collector for the tax year of 1905, and examining the assessment book of 1906 as returned by the Tax Assessor. It is not expected that there will be many raises of valuation for the present year, as the commissioners made a general increase of nearly a million in the assessment of last year. The only increases will be where the property owner failed to assess his property this year at the figures put upon 1t by the commissioners for 1905.

Benton county is out of debt. It

Three years ago was the first time
the county became debtless since
the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary. It,paid cash till mid
summer and then began. to issue
warrants. The next spring, and
last year the last warrant was again
redeemed and cash payments re-
sumed for several months. Yester-
day, Treasurer Buchanan called In
every warrant outstanding, and is
ready with the cash as fast as they
can be presented. The condition
looks good to the citizen. 1t is a
worthy boast when stranger vis-
