 FOR MAN SERVANT
Reign of Old Time Buffers
 Ended in England
.LUxURIES OF THE PAST
Flats, Hotels and Restaurants Arc Held Responsible for the Change That Has Taken Place In
 the Fashionable Set.

Special Cable to the New York Herald. London.-Women are fast replacing men as servants in the houses of tue wealthy, in the opinion of Miss Nora Beresford, who has large clientele among the servants and employers of the West End. Men servants have had their day. House. maids and parlormaids are still required, but chefs. buffers and men servants gen orally are to an increasing extent be- coming luxuries of the past
 Nor is Miss Beresford's experience ex- ceptional. The old idea establishment" no longer obtains in the modern smart set, who prefer the irresponsible life of flats and hotels to the care of a large house of servants.
 The proprietress of one of the oldest es- tablished register offices in London, whose principal business is to provide re- cruits for the servants halls of the aris- tocracy, tells the same story of smaller establishments.
 T have on my books numbers of men servants of irreproachable character and record of continuous service,' she stated to an Express representative, and though they have occupied responsible positions in
  take anything that offers, knowing that the outlook for 8 man servant out of em- ployment is about as bad as can be.
 Entertaining in hotels and restaurants has killed the prospects of the upper class servant. A generation ago men servants in large houses invariably brought up their children to follow in their own foot steps, but now the girls are going into the postoffice and the boys are being trained as chauffeurs."
 Many society women, according to re- ports from registry offices, have engaged smart parlormaids to take the place of the old-time butler, with the most excel lent results Keeping down expenses Is one of the main reasons for the change, the sleeping accommodation for men ser wants proving a considerable tax on the small but highly rented town house, while there Is also the question of the taxa ton which falls on those who employ men servants.

WEEKLY AVERAGES
 OF CLEARING HOUSE

New York, January 1s.-The statement or the clearing house banks for this week shows that the banks hold s12SOs65o over the legal reserve requirements. This is an increase of s12,237. 650 over last week.
 The statement follows:
 Loans. s1,OO5,o4l, 600; increase, sSss.80O.
 Deposits, sss7. 2Oe,2O0; increase, SIP, 463'400.
 Circulation, s52,9s0.SOO; increase, $779O0.

 Surplus, sn.8Os. s5o; increase. s122a7- $50.
 Ex. U. S. deposits, s14s2,,oo; increase, SIP. .251, 600.
 New York. January 1s.-The Fiancier this week says:
 Last weeks statement of New York's associated banks showed most remarka- ble gains in cash and surplus reserve. This disclosure, however, was foreshadowed by the estimates which were based upon the traceable movements of money dur HE the week. Sucn1 estimates iuuitdllA5 large increases in cash from almost every source. The comparatively small aug mentation in loans was another important feature of the statement. The deposits and consequently the reserve require- ments were not unduly expanded so that the gain in cash was pretty fully re- f1ected in the important increase In sur plus, such increase, 1t may be noted, be- ing only few hundred thousand dol- "a hal NUl Jrh Na recorded in the corresponding week a year ago. The statement showed an increase con- pared with the previous week of Sl5'- 460.035 cash, which gain was about three and two-thirds millions greater than that shown by the preliminary estimates, spe- cie was augmented by nearly I1WO,WO and legal tenders by about four and two- thirds millions. The increased cash ap- pears to have been due to large excess receipts of money from the interior, every section contributing thereto and also to heavy disbursements by the sub-treasury incident to the period of the year; It IS noteworthy that in the second week of January, 1905, the cash gain was fifteen and one-thrd millions.
 Deposits last week increased $13,466, 400, which amount was two and one-half mill lions less than the sum of the gain In cash, plus the increase in loans; conse- quently the statement failed to prove. The required reserve against deposits in- creased sS, S,Ss5S50, deducting which from the gain in cash left $12,237,65O as the in- crease in surplus reserve, to $1S,SOS, $50; in the same week last year the increase in surplus was SIP. .S51. .025. Computed on the basis of deposits less those of $S,41640O public funds the surplus last week was $14,927, 750. Loans were expanded by SSSS- 300. a remarkably small gain considering the fact that requirements for stock spec ulation were heavy The daily average of bank clearings was s43O, 600, 900 against $47S'- O00,0O0 in the previous week. Clearings re- ported on Saturday. re1ecting Fridays business were. $4S2, ,771, ,25S.
 It is interesting to note that the loans last week were in excess of deposits by only seven and four-fifths millions, against nearly s21, 100000 in the previous week.
