 Color In Mems Clothes.

From the Tailor and Cutter.
 No longer satisfied with the dreary black coat, men are at last beginning to adopt clothing of bright color and vivid patterns.
 Especially is this the case with sport ing men, owing to the fashion set by the King. During His Majesty's recent stay at Sandringham he adopted a very showy style of dress, consisting of scarlet Tam-o' -Shanter drab Norfolk jacket and knickers, and brightly coll ored hose.
 The efforts to relieve the sombreness of mems clothing have been specially directed toward the production of styl- ish fancy vests. Particular attention has been paid to the buttons of these garments, the tailor and the jeweller having tried to outdo each other in the beauty of their productions.
 The latest development in this direc- ton is the reproduction in miniature of famous works of art. such as the most beautiful female portraits by such artists as Gainsborough, Romney and others.

 Ex. U. S. deposits, $2.676,75o; decrease, ks.72a9OO.
 New York, January 6.i-The F'inancier this week says:
 Last weeks official statement of the New York associated banks was disap- pointing in that it indicated loss instead of the expected gain in cash and also be- cause it disclosed an unusually low sur plus which it would appear might easily have been changed to deficiency, either through a greater loss of cash or an increase in reserve requirements.
 The net decrease in cash reserve was B2,198,700, whereas all the estimates that were based on the traceable movements of money during the week showed an in- crease of about this sum. The discrep- Bncy between the officially reported and the estimated changes in this item, may have been due to receipts of money after the middle of the week, which were not fully reflected in the statement. because of the system of averages.
 It may be noted that specie decreased by s5,66S,600, this was in great part ac- counted for by the transfer of two mill lions to San Francisco and by the ship ment of a like amount to Mexico and South America. The legal tenders in- creased by ss,47o,900. This most likely represented the movements of currency hither from the interior, resulting from the dear rates for money which prevail nd during the greater part of the week. The deposits increased S6,091 300, which amount Is so much greater than the sum
