Oh. sing to me the old war songs.
The songs l love to hear;
The songs sly father sang to me,
The songs to mother dear.
As he rocked me in my cradle bed.
Or held me on his knee,
could not sleep, he sang so sweet
Those dear old songs to me.
Sing any of those old war songs,
The cheerful and the sad,
They make me sigh when / am gay
Or weep when l am glad
And my mind goes back to war times,
The salt tears come you see;
And my heart leaps up at every chime
As those songs are sung to me.
Sing on, sing more of those war so1gs,
So full of love and cheer,
For they start the very heart
To memories that are dear.
Perhaps in days TO come
may sing songs with thee,
But give me just another song
One old war song for me.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Financier says:
Last weeks official statement of the New
York Associated Banks, while indicating a
moderate increase in cash, disclosed quite
an important reduction in surplus reserves,
due almost wholly to a large expansion in
loans, and, consequently in deposits and
reserve requirements. The cash gain was
S9S2, 100, the result chiefly of receipts OF
S2,1jO,O00 overshipments of currency as
shown by the interbank movement; it Is
noteworthy that the gain on such movement
was larger than for any week since the end
of March, indicating an important influx
of the monetary tide which may be expect
ed to continue. Though the gold exporis
to Paris were more than So $50, 900 for the
week, the average of such exports was
but little more than 1,25OOoO, owing to the
fact that the shipments were greatest dur
ing the first half of the week; therefore
the cash gain from the interior was only
partially offset by gold exports Deposits
were augmented by $l5,554 100, the result,
as above noted, of an expansion of $13,
al 600 in loans.
The increase in the latter item was wholly
unexpected, for liquidation on the stock
change was large early in the week as
to call for an important reduction in this
item; the excess of loans over deposits was
reduced 81, 900, 600 to the lowest of the year
The reserve against general deposits was
increased So, SSS 525, deducting from which
the gain in cash left $2.M6, 425 as the de-
crease in surplus reserve to ST., 49,, 400
Computed upon the basis of deposits less
those of $3l $4,000 public funds, the sur
plus is $40, GSJ. 100.
The daily average of bank clearings for
the five days of the bank week was S277,-
0G0, O00. or about the same as in the previous
week; clearings Oh Saturday rejecting Fri
days business were $3.50 ,424, 175. Compari-
sons of loans by individual banks show that
six institutions increased this item by Sl2,-
SOo,0O0 net; five banks gained $1,5U0,O00 net
cash.

HEARD ON CHANGE

The market for local securities is bare ot
suggestion for the future. The lack of
action at the present time seems to be ac-
cepted as a matter of course and as a part
of the general situation. In fact, there
Is reason in such view, for it has almost
invariably proved to be the case that when
the general market is unsettled, as it is
now, that business the local exchange
is affected.
There is no special reason why this should
be so, but that does not alter the situation.
Active trading seems to depend good
deal upon the way people feel, and when
things are going at SKIES and sevens il
the general market operators in local Sc
curties begin to be Indifferent.
Several reasons might be given why the
demand for local securities should be bet
ter than is now the case, and one is that
the financial institutions of the city have
more money on hand than they had two
months ago. The increase in the deposits
during that time may be attributed, in part
at least, to the lack of use for it by those
who usually keep their funds well EN-
ployed.
The general notion seems to be that no
further commitments in the stock market
are wise until after the situation clears
up and the general condition of business
throughout the country is known. When
that Will be- of course, cannot be said with
certainty Inere are two Clements WnlCl
have an influence, and one of these en-
deavors to deprcss prices, while the other
works toward the opposite end.
Some good Judges Of the situation who
keep middle course between these ex-
tremeS regard the present let-up in activity
juGCiOus and likely to have good eff
feet in the future. If this is accompanied
by a curtailmcnt of business operations
throughout the country-a sort of recess
sion-it will be looked upon by such OBJ
servers a good thing. for in their opn-
ion the pace for all kinds of enterprises
in this country has been entirely too rapid.
Instead of panic with the bottom falling
out of the market, the same results are
reached by gradual contraction IN the
demands for the use of money, and u is
believed that this process is now going
on, If that was generally accepted as the
explanation of existing conditions what IS
called confidence would be speedily re-
stored. AS it is even really cheap securi-
ter on the market than those which are
more or less of d doubtful value. The diff
ficulty is not with the securities as a rule,
but with the buying public. The latter Is
out of the market and do not seem to be
attracted back by anything that is display
ed the bargain counter.
There is one phase of the local SITUATION
that seems promising. and that is the I'M
provement in the buying of securities on
ton of any general buying. for owing to
the need of financial institutions to get
some investment for their funds it may be
supposed that the greater part, If not all,
the market for bonds has that origin. Still,
no doubt. there is some investment buying,
and the prospect is that it will increase Il
volume rather than the reverse.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER, England, June 1.-Busi-
ness in the cloth market was resumed after
the holidays on a small scale, the dear
ness of cotton enhancing the cost of pro-
duction and making even better offers from
India and other directions difficult to ar
range. while there is a possibility of the
looms in various districts being stopped
or worked on short time if the price of
cotton goes higher The actual sales were
insignificant, and the quotations were
nominally higher
Yarns kept very strong, with prices Is
dearer on the fortnight. The turnover,
however. was very light, owing to the
dearness of cotton and the reluctance of
buyers to meet the higher prices asked by
the spinners.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, June 1.-Dealers on the stock
exchange experienced a trying week and
prices at the end showed a slight depre-
citation, though closing well above the low
est quotations. The failure of large firm
of jobbers, which indirectly caused the fall
ure of two smaller firms, the chief de-
was concluded without the disclosure of
any further severe disaster good buying
appeared at the lower level, and much of
the earlier loss disappeared, though the
temporary dearness of money checked any
great expansion of business. 1t is antici-
pated that the wreckage from the failures,
which will be marketed at a favorable op-
porunity, is likely to prevent material
Improvement in prices for some time.
Americans experienced good deal of ir-
regularity early in the week and saw a
further shrinkage in values under profess
sional bear pressure, but later the market
took a favorable view OF President Roose-
vet's speech at indianapolis, and with bet
ter crop news and New York buying mod
erately much of the earlier loss disappeared
The final rates show a loss of only about 2
points.
Money was comparatively scarce during
the week, owing to month-end requirements,
but the dividend distribution at the end
of the week eased the situation somewhat.
Discounts continued easy, but the Bank
of Englands rate of discount is not ex-
pected to be reduced till France and Ger
many lead the way with lower rates.
