FINANCE AND TRADE IN
MARKETS OF THE WORLD

the New York Associated Banks was con-
fdently expected to be shown In last weeks
omcial statement for several reasons. Al
most always, when deficiencies are record
ed. they are followed by a surplus in the
succeeding week, partly as the result of
the contraction In the loans and conse-
auently In deposits and reserve require
individual banks with the object Of recti-
flying their reserve position. Inasmuch as
such contraction was SO actively in prog
ress last week as to be observable through
daily calling OF loans, V was confidently
expected that a restoration Of the surplus
would be indicated by the weeks state
ment. Moreover, there was evidence dur
ing the week that the high rates for call
money. resulting from depleted local bank
reserves and calling Of loans. were attract
ing funds from interior institutions; there
fore gain In cash seemed to be distinctly
foreshadowed: The statement showed an
increase Of $2,s17, 800 in cash, which was
little more than the sum that was esti-
mated upon the basis of the traceable
movements OF money. This gain largely
restricted receipts of cash from nearby
interior banks for temporary loaning, and
also return flow Of money from the west,
indicating the beginning OF the usual
changes in this direction of the seasons
monetary tide. Deposits decreased 1920
GOO. which amount is 1901, 300 more than
the sum of the contraction in loans, less
the gain in cash; hence the statement made
a fairly good proof. The required reserve
against general deposits was reduced by
II 800 adding which to the gain in cash
made 1885,, 500 as the increase In reserve
to $2.371 .675 surplus. against 81, 514, 125 de-
fcfency in the previous week. Last year
at the corresponding date, It may be noted,
the surplus was restored to $2.915, 100 from
q deficiency of 81, 42S, 800 in the week Of
November II. Computed upon the basis
of deposits, less $14,32O. 800 public funds,
the surplus last week was 5,951, S75. Loans
were contracted $6100,400, thus contrib
uting to the favorable statement. The ex-
cess of loans over deposits is 4917. 800,
against $40, 743, 100 in the previous week.
The daily average of bank clearings was
1906 100000, a gain of s140OO,OOO compared
with the week of November 10. Clearings

were s4O4, 2S3, POI. Comparisons of loans
by individual banks show that six institu-
tons reduced this item by five and two
hfths millions net. Five banks gained two

New York-The City Of Steam and
Electricity.

From McClures Magazine.
The cab Is no integral part of New York
life. Venice without the gondola were as
unthinkable as woman without hair. No
little Of London's compelling charm is In its
swift-rolling hansoms. These things We
know. But one can't think of New York In
terms of cabs. Once upon time I was an
exile; only in memory did the great city rise
before me, and what saw was this: Huge
canyons of stone and steel-flled with noise
and darkness-through which great yellow
worms crawled, one after the other. in mid
air. That is the picture Of New York that
haunts the exile. even as the outlawed We
netian is obsessed by slim. black gondolas
cutting across lanes of moonlight. Your
true New Yorker is a steam-projected, cleo
trically carted person; only in exceptional
moments of gloom or gayety does he ride
''in q carriage and pair He is carriage
ridden to q funeral; he cabs it in whey
moments, on dark errands, when the fear of
God is not in him. The cab-instinct is but
family developed in him. There are only
two thousand licensed cabs and hacks on
the island of Manhattan. Others there are.

quarters; but even with these thrown In the

LONDON STOCK MARKET.

LONDON, November 1.-THE stock ex-
change experienced a cheerful and active
week with gradually improving quotations.
The feature was the strength and broaden
ing activity of British securities, especially
railroads, In face of dear money and the 6
per cent bank rate. This was due principal
ly to more confident operations of investors
who are attracted by the present low level
of prices; but much strength was derived
also from the gradually improving position
of the Bank of England and a higher
French check, which already has caused
shipment of a half million in god in the
shape of American eagles from France Re-
ports that the Bank Of France was willing,
If necessary. to ship more gold, also helped

Gently have been realizing on them in order
to employ their funds to greater advantage
in the money market. Quotations in con-
soils, however, gained one-half point on the
week. Foreign securities finished the week
in fine style, Brazilian, Turkish, Japanese
and Russian bonds all receiving much at
tention at the higher levels, Paris being the
principal buyer. Americans were alternate

HEARD ON CHANGE

The market went back again during the
week into the rut Of inactivity after the
slight reaction which was believed to have
been due to the way the elections went.
One thing that gave life to the trading dur
ing the week was the strong support that
was developed for the stock Of the Union
Trust Company. The buying at 140-the
figure which seemed to be fixed as the
limit for the market-was well sustained.
In fact 30 well. that practically all that
was for sale at that price was taken.

rights for sale. and SO not much was done

current transactions Of the week was the
decided course pursued in the case OF the
Capital Traction stock. The bid was ad-
vanced and an intention manifested to
the better figures. The advance In the
bid netted only about half a point and
some lots Of the stock were brought out,
but no great quantity.
The tactics employed In the trading in
this stock showed a change from what is
usually seen on the floor Of the exchange,
but that was probably due to the fact that
another broker Is responsible for the pres
ent movement.
The current business during the week
did not show much improvement as far
as quality was concerned. however 1t might
attributed to the uncertainty felt in re-
gard to the future, especially as to the
money supply. The general idea seems to
be that what is known as easy money. or

How Tom Fooled the Old Boy.

From the New England Magazine.
There was Teller in the town where my
mother came from whose name was Tom
Cook. Tom was a pretty rough sort of a
customer and 1t was commonly believed
that he was in league with the devil, and he
was. too. Well, by and by, the devil con-
Guided he'd like Toms company down be-
low. So he called on Tom early one morn
ing and found Tom had just got up and
was dressing.
Tom said he, you've lived In this town
long enough. I want you to come down to
the pit and stay with me. So make haste.
I've got to keep the fires goin' down there,
you know
"Then the devil took Tom by the arm to
hurry him and make sure Of him. Tom
didn't like the looks of the devil, and the
devils fingers were awful hot. Tom tried to
pull along. and at the same time he said:
Wait, wait, can't you, until get my gal
luses on
1.-The devil looked him all over and then
he grinned and he said: Yes, I'll wait until
you get your galluses on
He no sooner said that than Tom threw
the galluses into the fire. The devil saw
he'd iost his man and went off in great
anger, and Tom lever wore galluses again."
