WEEKLY AVERAGES
OF CLEARING HOUSE

New York, February 9.-The statement
of clearing house banks for the week
shows that the banks hold 50, 345,S75 more
than the legal reserve requirements. This
is a decrease of $9,2SS,22 as compared
with last week. The statement follows:
Loans, $1,oO9,S56, 400; increase. $1,51S 800.
Deposits, $1,065 562,5OO decrease, $11 ,157,-
200.

New York February 9-The Financier
says this week:
AS was expected from the loss of cash
reserve which was indicated by the esti-
mates that were based upon the traceable
movements of money last week, the Off
cial statement of the New York associated
banks was of an unfavorable character
The increase in cash was much greater
than that which was estimated, being
SIP OF 600, whereas the estimates indicated
IL TeuuCuOH III IllS item OF less IDan Tour
and three-quarters millions. So great a
discrepancy between the official and the
estimated loss cannot well be accounted
for. Even making all allowances for the
decrease resulting from the inter-bank
movement from surrenders of public de-
posits, and from treasury operations,
there would be a considerable sum which
could not be traced. 1t. therefore, seems
probable that payments for New York
city bonds which were effected on Friday,
were largely made through transfers from
banks to trust companies.
The deposits decreased $11 157, 500, which
amount very nearly agrees with the sum
of the loss in cash, and the increase in
loans, therefore, the statement made a
good proof. The required reserve against
general deposits was reducerd $2,7S9,375.
deducting which from the loss of cash,
left $92SS,225 as tho decrease In surplus
reserve to $3,345,S75,
Computed upon the basis of deposits,
less those of SIS, 47S.9O0 public funds, the
surplus Is 1928, $50. Loans were expanded
by the small amount of $1,51S, 800. This Is
somewhat surprising because the stock
market operations OF the week seemed
TO indicate quite liberal loaning by the
banks at least, the result of more
free offerings of money.
The daily average of bank clearings
was 1928, 600 900, against 1852 100000 in the
week of February 2. Clearings on Satur-
day, rejecting Fridays business were

MARCUSSM'S VISIT
IMPORTANT EVENT
Has Charge of Salvation Army
Social Work
THOMPSON TALKS OF PLANS
Relates Interesting Stories of Cases
That Came Under His Observation
at the Workingmen's
Home.

With the coming of Brigader Mar
cussm to Birmingham, the attention
of the public will be brought to
unique and altogether surprising de-
partment of Salvation Army work. one
which stands in a great measure for
it's wonderful success in the United
States.
The Salvation Army is composed of
two branches, social and spiritual, both
of them working together in the great
est harmony. 1t is of the social branch
that Brigadier Marcussm has charge.
Each is separate from the other, hav-
ing its own particular function to per-
form in the human mechanism. The
officers believe that many religious
workers have failed to realize the fact
that the body must be saved as well,
and, in many cases before, the souls of
the unfortunates down and out Ply
sicians have stated that they believe
the body must be saved first, and the
Salvation Army has come to recognize
this need. They have seen the fallaey
of religion that would bid a starry
ing man consider his souls need, and
the social work is the outcome of the
motive that actuates them for the sal
walton of both the soul and the body.
Operates Workingmen's Hotel.
The Salvation Army operates in this
city a working mans hotel, under the
management of Envoy w. b. Thomp-
son. The hotel has accommodation for

the past year nearly 1000 night dodgers
were given free rooms, while 200 meals
were furnished in addition and innum-
cradle articles of clothing were sup
piled.
About 200 men were provided with
employment, some temporary and some
permanent. Many men have been led
to leave their evil ways and lead bet

Native of Denmark.
Brigadier Marcussm. who will visit Bir-
mingham this week in the interest of the
social work, is a native of Denmark, and
his father intended that he should be-
come an officer In the royal army, but
like a true Dane, he preferred to enter
the navy. Circumstance being against
him he shipped before the mast as boy
and lived a life on the rolling deep for
thirteen years.

German vote of the Ninth. He is sure of
getting the large part of the 100 increase
in voters that his ward has gained since
the last primary George -4stes, his OPP
ponent stated yesterday that he counted
on getting all the votes of the Ninth,

Dave Wurtzburger was the only candi-

vote large enough to give him plurality
over the nine opponents.
