NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, September THE Finan-
cier will say: Last weeks official state
ment of the New York associated banks, as
was the case in the previous week, showed
comparatively unimportant changes in the
items of loans and deposits, and there was
a loss, instead of the expected gain, In
cash. The surplus reserve was reduced
chiefly as the result of the decrease In
cash, but this item was still left at
fairly substantial sum. One feature was
an increase in public deposits, due to dis
tributions thereof by the Treasury among
only $1.2OO.900 compared with the amount
reported in the week of August 81
The officially recorded decrease In cash
was $l.426.s 500. while the estimates, which
were based on the traceabe movements Of
money during the week. Indicated a gain of
about $2,750,OO0; that discrepancy may
have been the result of the inclusion in the
receipts of public deposits which were
treated in the estimates as cash because
they were part of subtreasury operations
with the banks.
General. deposits decreased sl7o.soo, or
only about 10 per cent of the amount re-
ported III the previous week. The re-
qured reserve was. therefore, reduced
Sl2 700. deducting which from the loss Of
plus reserve to $7.372,3JO; a year ago there
was a deficiency of upward of $751; 900.
Compiled upon the basis Of deposits less
plus is Sl4 ,65l, 100.
Loans We're augmented $61 800; the sum
OF Inc decrease in cash less this increase
IN loans was more than $60o.OD0 greater
than the reduction in deposits, and conse-
qIentiy the statement did not make a good
proof
The daily average of bank clearings for
the five days OF the bank week was S2I5-
oooooo: clearinss on Saturday, rejecting
rlday's business. were $241. 763, 527. COM
PARSONS of loans by individual banks show
that live institutions gained $1,000 600 net;
SIX banks lost S2,OOO.0OO net cash

MAN-CATCHING DOGS.
Paris Entertained by Curious Contest
Of Belgian Origin.

Special Cablegrap to The Star.
PARIS, September MAX. Black Athos,
Fritz Rip. and other polIcemen's dogs have
competed In great and curious man-catch-
ing contest. The idea, which was originally
Belgian, is to set the friend of man on to
capture such enemies of society as burglars
and "Apaches." Among the feats put to the
police animals, generally sheep-dogs or COL
lies. were jumping fences, nosing out and
pursuing evildoers and watching over prop
erty.
An obliging amateur gentleman acted the
Apache" for the occasion in a check suit,
cloth wrap. and a scarlet wooden COM
forter. The dogs well muzzled, as a wise
precaution, successfully tracked the anna
teur burglar and brought him down, amid
great applause. Unmuzzled they would
have damaged him seriously.
1t was not explained how the dogs know
the real Apache when they see him. Rip.
two years old. won the first prize. catching
the amateur Apache on the roof of shed
in few seconds and jumping the highest
fence. about eight feet.

NEW BUMP MACHINE.
Remarkable Automatic Invention Sur

Special Cablcgram to The Star
LONDON, September AT the invitation
Of w. T. Lowell number OF gentlemen SUBJ
mitted themselves the other day for opera
ton under an automatic electrical phre-
nometer," exhibited at Carlton House, Re-
gent street. 1t is a bump machine on new
and scientific principles. and while measur-
known to phrenology, records at the same
time by an electrical printing machine the
exact proportions Of the moral qualities
corresponding to those excrescences.
At first sight the bump machine appears
to be AN instrument admirably adapted to
the purpose of reducing swelied head
Indeed 1t might be recommended with con-
fidence for that operation. II is a heavy
steel helmet suspended from a movable bar
above the electrical mechanism, and fitted
inside with a great number of steel prongs
or fingers. The victim Tor patienD Is placed
underneath. the helmet is lowered. the steel
fingers close tightly upon the Uranium, a
steel prong catches hold of the nasal organ
with a strong and resolute grip. and there
he is looking like murderer about to be
northumberland feeling worse.
Then the operator winds a little handle.
there is the whrr of machinery, which thrills
through the body and brain of a man unac-
customed to this experiment, and in thirty
seconds the bump machine has not only dis
sected his SOUL put the finger OF scorn upon
his sinful excrescences and measured his
morality to hairs breadth, but has, by
the printing contrivance beneath. put IL
down in black and white clean paper
with the candor of a recording angel 1t is
most ingenious.
The company invited to test the powers of
this machine We're nervous of submitting
themselves to its operation, but at last

Cash-Contrast With That Of
Year Ago.
FREQUENT FLUCTUATIONS
BANK STATEMENT DISAPPOINTs

NEW YORK. September THE specula-
tive movement In stocks was disposed to
mark time today. Prices moved sluggishly
and huctuated frequently. The holiday in
London was partly responsible for the dull
ness The financial district also Is inclined
To await the outcome of the New York city
bond sale for clearer light on some of the
conditions which are counted upon to sus-
tain the Improvement which has taken
place in the securities market. Bids for
this s4O.0O0.pO Issue of Az per cent New
York city bonds are TO be opened on Tues
dav next.
Many predictions have been made point
Ing to the success OF the sale but specific
assertions as TO formation of syndicates.
Intended bidders. foreign demand for the
issue, etc. are unauthentiCated. Something
of the heavy tone of today market was due
to the natura tendency to realize profits on
the considerable advance of the last few
DAYS. The official denial of Yesterdays ru-
mOrs of an intended distribution of a %
per cent extra dividend to Northern Pacific
stockholders dashed some of yesterdays
speculative enthusiasm. as these rumors
were a main incentive to the movement.
The Bank Statement.
The bank statement also failed to show
the expected gain in cash. the decrease Of
$l.i2o.n~ contrasting with preliminary esti-
mates of gain of s2.O0O.OOO. Loans also
showed a small expansion. the net .result
being to reduce the surplus reserve to
SI.3'2330. Meantime it became known that
deposits of Treasury funds have been made
with some of the banks in the financial dis
trIct and that more are in prospect next
week
The contrast with the bank statement of
this week year ago Is striking In that
week. Notwithstanding loan contract
of nearly S12,HO.uO0. the surplus disap-
peared before shrinkage in that item of

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. England. September L
The actual business in the cloth market
during the week was again only of small
dimensions. principally light fabrics for In
dia. Inquiries came pentifully from China
as we'll as India, but manufacturers de-
clined to accept the low offers pending more
definite developments in the cotton s:tua-
ton. Egypt did practically nothing. The
further talk of the financial trouble in that
quarter made shippers as well as manufac-
turers very cautious
Yarns found a difficult sale at current
prices. The holidays in the spinning centers
interfered with the supplies Of certain
twists which were difficult to obtain Other
grades however. were fairly plentiful and

The nerve of the oppressed wealthy class
seems to have recovered from its attack OF
Rooseveltphob:a 1t is giving less attention
to and caring less about what our honored
President may be saying or thinking. or Of
his plans for the future. Languid specula-
ton is being INDUCED in as to what he will
say new in his forthcoming six speeches or
In his next message to Congress. but the
remark is frequently heard that he has
..shot his load" and can do no more tangi-
bile harm to business. Even though the wild
talk of his enemies had a basis In fact 1t
remains that the President has not the
power to deprive people of their rights or
properties so long as they obey the laws
and go about their business. giving no heed
to windy Nominations from whatever
source they may originate. Imprisonment
and confiscation are beyond the power of
government officials unless supported by
the courts. and having the full sanction Of
the regularly constituted machinery built
by society for it's protection. This cheerful
thought has contributed much to restora-
ton Of popular calm in many respects and
with calmness comes a return of judgment
and a temperance Of courage and common
sense.

An OlO laQy OIL SeVenty-Inree, known as
the Berlin Sibyl." has been sentenced to
six months Imprisonment for fraudulent
practices in connection with her calling OF
soothsayer and fortune-teller. Her Saloon"
in which she operated and received her
dupes, was mysteriously darkened and here
she had her magic cards and papers. with
a picture of the moon. OF loaves of bread.
Of scissors, etc. with which she worked
her spells. During her seances she kept up
a constant muttering in some gibbersh OF
her own invention. She was assisted by her
son, half lunatic. who attended to the
literary department. He wrote extrava-
CANT circulars for his mother, full of the
most utter balderdash. and these were cir
culated by the thousand.
When the "Sibyl' was examined by the
Judge she maintained that she was an instru-
ment in the hands of Providence for telling
the future, and that her natural gifts in
this direction had been cultivated by long
years of the study Of planets and the scien-
tific observation Of cards, the grounds OF
coffee and yolks of eggs Asked by the
Judge for her definition Of a planet she
said "a planet meant the hour in which a
person was born" The defense produced
a number Of witnesses who testified that
the prophecies had told them of future
events which actually came to pass. but
the court was not convinced that she was
a genuine priestess Of the Delphi.
Court circles are much tickled by the
kaisers failure recently in the capacity OF
matchmaker. He had made up his mind to
marry his Adalbert to a certain prin-
cess who possessed excellent qualifications
from the point of view of policy. though
undoubtedly the young people were entirely
unsuited to each other in most respects.
However, the emperor. who hardly knows
what it is to have his wishes opposed.
found his match on this occasion, for the
young princess showed so much spirit in
expressing her determination not to marry
Adalbert under any circumstances that the
kaiser much to his chagrln. has had to
abandon the idea.
