New York.-Thc statement of clear.
ing mouse banks for the week shows
mat the banks held $4,G55,45O more
than legal reserve requirements This
Is an Increase OF $2,0O7,375 as com.
pared with last week. The statement
follows:

$500. 500.

crease of s2.GG3.S75.
Surplus. S4.G55. .ibO, an increase Of
$2.OO7.375.
The Financier will say:
Last weeks official statement of the
New York associated banks. as was ex.
pected. was an improvement compared
with the exhibit OF the previous week.
Though the cash decreased. the loss
thereof closely agreed with that which
was estimated upon the basis of the
traceable movements OF money during
the week. The required reserve was
reduced by quite an important amount
through decrease In deposits and the
result showed a gain In surplus reserve
by comparatively substantial sum
The cash loss as officially disclosed by
the statement was s65G.5OO. General
deposits fell OF sI0.G55. 500. This
amount, however. was greater by
4 l-3 millions than the sum
OF contraction in loans and the loss of
cash. and therefore the statement
made an unusually bad proof. The re-
Quired reserve was reduced s2.6G3 SIS
deducting from which the loss of cash
as above left 81 2.OO7.37 as the increase
in surplus reserve to s4.G55 500 Com,
puted upon the basis OF deposits. less
those OF s33.iS7.G GOO public funds. which
II may be observed. were augmented
by $4,000 during the week. the sur
plus Is $l3O27 $50. Loans were con
tractcd by s5.GG5.5 500. rejecting liqui
dations of speculative accounts as the
result OF the general decline in the
stock market. II is noteworthy that
loans are now greater than deposits
by 81 1-3 millions. or the maximum
of the year: in 1906 such maximum
was C21. millions In December.

not merely a gambling game. II 10 not
purely a sport. nor is 1t conducted
simply to improve the breed OF
horses: but 1t partakes of all these at

gambling. The questions which Mr.
Speed takes up ior discussion are.
how does racing improve the breed

scientists had reason to believe eX-

Banks Suffer Most.
The banks and trust companies
were the worst sufferers. They lost
81 .OS0. $50. as against only sI5S.T5o in
the first half OF 1906. The public
service corporations and the like were
the next hardest hit. They parted. in
voluntarily, with S93G,335. as against
$685. In the first half of 1906 and
$500, ,9Ol in the first half Of 1905. Next
come general business houses. which
lost $S19.372 through dishonest EN-
ployes. as compared with Sl.O2O.3I3 in
the first half of 1906. Miscellaneous
institutions. breweries. ice cream
saloons. stores. etc. were robbed OF

Beneficial association had their

s29G.S7G in 1905. More than s253.oOn
in court trust funds were stolen. an
excess of only $1,000 over the same
period in 1906. In the first half OF
1905 s795.5l3 of court funds disap'

transportation companies lost Sloi,'

Where the Stolen Cash Went.
About one.half of these embezzled
millions went directly into Wall street
the experts say, where they were swal'
lowed up In unlucky speculations. one
half of the remainder was lost In
gambling on the lace tracks and IN
poolrooms. The remainder was spent
in the oldfashioned traditional way.

dealers got their share. When the

made no resistance.
According to the bank detectives
the banks of New York now have their
system of cages. bookkeeping ana
espionage so perfected that. unless the
cashier is in the plot. not more than
500 900 can be stolen without detec

Owners OF orchards In the east
have apparently settled down to the
belief that the pest has come to stay
and that there is no use trying to
fight 1t, and have abandoned any at
tempt to grow an orchard. There are
few exceptions where an up-to-date
farmer is planting young orchard
and properly caring for it, but the
number is small This condition
found to exist throughout all New
York and the other New England
states, with the exception of New
Jersey, where I found some fine or
chards and some intelligent horti-
culturists.
"Were no attempt made to check
the San Jose scale, orchards in the
west would soon be killed as badly
as in the east. But western fruit
growers recognize the Importance of
making a strong fight and an early
fight on the pest as soon as it's pres
ence is detected. The scale can never
be wholly eradicated, but it can be
completely controlled in a way to
suffer no reduction of yield or in
| jury to the trees. The only method
is proper spraying.
'In the east fertilization is neces-
sary to grow crops on practically all
! of the land. What a man would
spend in eight years for fertilizer in
| New York would buy a farm in the
| west. That is, if farm were given
to an eastern farmer, while a west
ern farmer paid $4,000 for his land
to get the same quality and yield of
crop the eastern man would have to
spend for fertilizer at least $1,000 a
year, or as much in eight years as
the original cost of the western
| farm Eastern farmers are beginning
| to realize the disadvantages, of

them will come to the northwest

at her approach. AS the loving
maiden staggered upon the sidewalk
in front of the drug store one of our
most bashful young citizens stepped
out of the pharmacy, and in an in
slant found himself in a warm en-
brace, with the raven locks of a
strange female resting on his manly
bosom and the odor of a distillery
tickling his nostrils. The b. c., in
the agony of surprise, attempted to
tear away from the clinging form,
and in the struggle the couple rolled

HOW TO BEAUTIFY CITY.

Monday. The discussion of the arti-
cles of the constitution was continued
and a constitution finally adopted.

The league decided it possible to

non. Seattle and Bellingham have
had such an exhibition, which is a
collection of photographs of the fam
Gus paintings Of the world, and have
found it exceedingly fine. The time
cannot be determined until the firm
owning the pictures is heard from
for it depends upon other engage
ments in the northwest. Arbor day
and its possibilities for the city were
discussed and committees appointed
to learn what could be done.

eral clearing house for ideas on Ar
Dor day. Its press correspondent

appearance in an orchard was strong
