EINANCTERS STATEMENT.
 New York. Aug. 1.-The Financier will
 The official statement of the New York Associated Banks for the last week showed an actual decrease in cash. instead of q ramparatfyely small gain as was expected from the preliminry estimates; this loss was doubtless due chiefly to the operations of the sub-treasury with the banks as the result, largely of the payment through these lnstitutions to the government of about g5.00o. 900 on account of the Central Pacif- ic Subsidy indebtedness, which was finally cancelled last week and also of transfers of s3.00O.00e gold to Canada. IL may be noted, however. that the average statement Indicated a gain of about s4.000,o00 cash and there was an increase in reserve shown by such statement of s2.567,325, whereas the report of actual conditions showed c loss of s1,14A.76O to e57.263.475 and as com puted upon the basisIof deposits less thos" of ss. 22s.00o.
 The basis of deposits less those of ss.2ss.- 600 public funds. a decrease of s1,14s,275 reserve to s59,5T0.4T5. Loans increased $2.- s0e. 500, according to the averages; there was decrease of S444.T00 as shown by the actual conditions Average deposits were greaterby s6.413.300 while actually they were Sss9.s00 less. Tie banks now have per centage of 2s. Ss reserve to deposits; state banks show 30.60 and trust companies 3s. 50.

 According to the views held on the Bowery no funnier statement was every put forward than that recently made by City Physician Gerbert to the effect that six beers a day are too much for any man. The Bowery. being the cen ter of the beer belt, naturally takes an l acute interest in the question, but that any man should hold six beers the limit ] is entirely beyond the comprehension of its leading citizens. One of the most prominent of the Bowerites, Mir. Studs" MacFee. known for his tenn perance on all subjects. has come to the support of Dr. Gerbert, in that he believes in e limit to beer which can safely be consumed by thirsty individ- uals. On the amount, however he and pr. Gerbert differ widely, for Studs" would make the limit thirty glasses a day, or 210 of the Bowery schooners every week. Many of his brethren, however. consider tn peurile. Chuck" Connors expressed himself freely to the effect that if Gerberts limit was ever applied to the fire department the horses would be going to fires alone. When asked if he could consume more than six beers without showing the effect. he became extremely angry. Me drink six" was hia retort. Why. only been off de blankets an hour and I've planted fifteen pots" But while Chuck" Is a consistent perform CT, he Is held to bc in the klndergar- ten class compared with such promi- nent Bowerites as Galway Paddy" and ''Ioxie Clark" The former once con- sumed seventy-six goblets of beer Tn six hours and then to complete the wager, walked a chalk line. This per formance still stands as the record Mir. Stutt McDermott. another thirsty resident of the lower East Side aver ages around fifty glasses a day and says that he considers himself on the water wagon when consuming less than twenty In view of these facts. 1t Is no wonder that Dr. Gerbert's dlctum has been the cause of much mirth on the Bowery.
 New York has made q bye-word of the assertion of Dr. Wiley of pure food fame that bad bread Is responsible for more divorces than any other single cause Queries of 'How's wifie's bread" are a common salutation in the resorts along the Great White Way. Those who treat the subject seriously assert that the Government scientist made bad guess. David Graham Phillips, the novelist, who is regarded as something of an expert in this sub Ject since his exposure of the Inside workings of the divorce microbe in his
 
 sists tn at bad cooking ranks no higher than sixth in the causes of divorce in New York. As a result of his investi- gations, he places the most common reasons for the rupture of marital ties in this order:
 Extravagances and wastefulness.
 Clubs.
 Drink.
 Too much mother-in-Iaw.
 Bridge Whist.
 Bad bread.
 Bridge whist. by the way. is becom- ing a more and more common cause for divorce since 1t Is stated that one business failure out of every seventeen in New York is caused by the gambling propensities of wives and their inabil- lty to win. Whatever f. may think of it's own shortcomings in this respect. New York is certain that such a com monpIacs cause as that advanced by

POLICEMEN SHOCKED.
While Breaking i'll Electrified Door to
a Gambling Resort.

New York. Dec. 25.-An alleged
gambling resort, protected by a sheet
iron door, charged with electricity was
entered by the police last night and d
man who is said to be the proprietor
placed under arrest The place, which
is situated in Seventh street, was raid
ed about two weeks ago and according
to the police, the man arrested last
night is the same who was held as the
proprietor on the former occasion.
In breaking in the sheet iron door
last night, several policemen were
slightly shocked and electrical equip
ment is said to have been found above
the door. Entering the parlor floor
the police found it necessary to chop a
hole through the floor to reach the
basement where about fifty men were
gathered. They were all arrested. A
wagon load of racing slips, tally
sheets for the Oakland and Los An
geles tracks, part of a roulette table
a faro layout and other gambling
paraphernalia was confiscated.
