New York. Nov. 8. - The financial
situation was gradually clearing yes
terday, without showing any striking
features. Runs on the banks and trust
companies are practically over Mon
ey which was temporarily withdrawn
from banks subject to runS Is flowing
into the stronger banks, and currency
is being provided in most cases where
the demand for it is considered legiti-
mate.
Further engagements of gold by Bos-

The Lusitania, which sailed from Liv-
erpool yesterday, has On board about
$1O,000,000 in gold, n of the largest
single shipments ever made.
Prices or Exchange Firm.
Prices on the exchange were firm
during the early part of the day, and
did not yield seriously at any time.
The fact that the stock exchanges of
London and Paris were closed on ac-
count of All Saints day prevented any
comparison OF quotations.
Balances with the clearing house
have settled down to normal condi-
lions, but there is still something of a
blockade in domestic exchange
through the unwillingness of New
York banks to pay currency on drafts
from other cities and the unwilling
ness of other cities to pay out th.Ar
currency upon drafts from New York.
The condition of affairs indicates a
continued pressure for currency rather
than a breakdown of credits, but rea-
sonable demands are being met for
regular customers of the banks.
Hasten Export Movement.
The possibility of fastening the ex-
port movement of wheat and cotton
still engages the attention Of foreign
exchange dealers and also Of those
who endeavor to keep in touch with
the general situation. Doubt is ex-
pressed whether the secretary of the
treasury will be able to carry out on
any considerable scale the project of
the New Orleans exporters for accept
Ing cash at government fiscal agencies
abroad and transferring it by tele-
graph to points in this country, but
Secretary C%ortelyou is understood to
be willing to make such deposits of
public money at cotton exporting
points as will to a considerable extent
relieve the strain.
Bank Notes Increase.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The monthly
circulation statement issued by the
controller of the currency shows that
at the close of business Thursday the
total circulation of national bank notes
was 5000, 9S, 466, which is an increase
for the month of $ 1896, 625, and for
the year an increase of 500, sos, 4S1.
Controller Ridgely announced at the
close of business yesterday that ST.
$4,000 of circulation notes had been
issued by the treasury yesterday to
various national banks of the country.
This action by the banks was in re-
Spouse to Controller Ridgely's circu-
lar suggesting the taking out of adj
ditional circulation notes by the ma
tional banks.
