institutions have aggregate deposits of

The Financier says:
For the first time since the panic last
fall, with the exception of one week. the
associated banks of New York city re-
ported for the six days ending May Ii a
slight decrease in their surplus reserves.
The statement of actual condition made
Saturday shows losssof S1H4.6rO in
holdings of specie and legal tenders. but
when the fact is taken into consideration
that this small decrease was reported in
the face of export movement of gold
amounting to six and three-quarter mil
lions of dollars and the payment by the
banks into the Treasury through the
withdrawal of public deposits of an
amount approximating five and Cne-half
millions of dollars it will be seen that the
clearing house institutions almost made
up the loss through the excess of re-
ceipts from the interior and current opera
tions with the Treasury.
The revival in speculative activity on
the New York Stock Exchange accounted
in large part for the increase of $1O.!aII. 2W
in loans and the increase of So SOD, .Oo in
deposits AS result of the week s
changes decrease of $3.111.509 was re-
ported in surplus reserves. which. taking
the statement of actual conditions as
being nearer correct. makes the present
surplus reserves of the New York clear
ing house banks Sif. nl 80.

companies in Greater New York not re-
porting to the New York clearing house
revealed Saturday continuation of the
loan expansion which was noted during
the previous week. The total increase in
the loans of these institutions in the fort
night has reached about thirty-two and
one-half millions of dollars. while their
net deposits have increased about forty
one and one-half millions of dollars This
heavy expansion has been due for the most
part To large syndicate operations and
also to stock exchange activity.
The actual cash reserve against de-
pcsits held by the clearing house banks
is now 1888 per cent. the reserve of state
banks is 2S01 per cent and the reserve of
the trust companies is 81 per cent.

The World of
Finance and Trade
THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. May 16-Increased receipts
and the probability of an augmented
movement caused heavy wheat market
here today. At the close July wheat was
laaMc lower; corn was SC higher. oats
were up &c. Provisions were 2lac lower
to 2l3c higher
The wheat market opened easy because
of lower prices abroad. both at Liverpool
and on the continent and the favorable
weather for the growing crop in this
country. The local receipts were fairly
heavy. and statements from Kansas City
and other points in the southwest were to
the enect that heavier shipments might
be looked for next week There were
some reports Of damage by insects. but
these were outweighed by the reports OF
large receipts. The close was weak
July opened Lc to NC lower. at 50 to
s:'h. sold between ss1a and S9A agH and
closed at SS1sas9. Clearances of wheat
and Hour were equal to $780, 900 bushels.

against 6s1 900 bushels on the correspond
ing day OF last year. Minneapolis Duluth
ana Chicago reported receipts OF 100 cars.
against 231 cars last week and AL cars
year ago
Corn was weak early in the day because
of a Id decline at Liverpool and in sym-
pathy with wheat. Soon after the open
ing shorts attempted to cover. and. OFFER
1ngs being scarce. prices scored a good
ADVANCE. July corn opened haAc to la
&c lower. at 65L to 65#, sold between
61h and G and closed at 68. Local re-
ceipts were 1879 cars. with 33 of contract
grade
Trade In oats was light and unimpor-
tant. There was some selling of Septem-
per on nne crop prospects. Reports re-
ceived from Kansas and Nebraska an

was depressing factor. July opened SIC

NEW YORK, May Interpretations to
ad, ance prices of stocks or to protect
prices against operations calculated to
depress them were aggressively resumed
today and as result the average price
level touched the highest thus far
reached on the movement. The move
ment was broad and animated. and the
general strength of tone was not ma
tertally affected by the large realizing
Of profits which was accomplished by
shifting the buying from one to another
quarter OF the list or sustaining effect.
The strongest and most active stock
was Union Pacific. and the demonstrative
rise in this stock was the immediate
out come OF published utterances by the
head of the system containing very posi-
tive opinions on the prosperous outlook
for business.
The chairman of the Great Northern
board was credited. also. with cheerful
expressions regarding more especially
the crop prospects These publications
were me fomenting cause of the renewed
outburst OF speculative activity in the
market and of buoyant advances in prices
in many quarters of the list. There was
NJ news OF specific developments bearing
on the market.
Additional engagements of gold for ship
nlent to Berlin next week were accepted
with equanimity in view of the unaf-
fected ease maintained in our own money
market. Additions TO the new financing
effected are announced day after day.

The Tidewater's Note Issue.
Special interest attached to the report
of an issue of s17.O0o.WO of notes by the
so-called TideRatar railway of Virginia
The slUOJG,'Uo of notes Of this enterprise
for which provision is to be made out
of the proceeds of the new issue created
sensation at the time of their issue by
reason of the terms at which they were
reported sold and the relationship to the
transaction of a powerful individual CAPT.
bic evidence of the increasing strain on
capital supplies at that period
The fact that high interest rates are
charged Tor the new operation did not
seem to be regarded with any misgiving
as a possible evidence of persisting de-
fieiency in the normal credit situation.
The bank statement showed the grow

an expansion in the loan item which
while moderate in the average showing
carried the total of that item to a figure
greater than has ever before been reached
IN the history of the clearing house. The

JULIA MARLOWE.

With splendid scenic equipment
and a company whose excellence was
only outshone by Miss Marlowe her
self, the Shakespearian play, "As
You Like It," was presented at Polls
last evening before a most enthuias-
tic audience, but one which could be
further augmented in numbers. In
the characted of Rosalind, Miss Mar
lowe enacts a role quite congenial to
her abilities and most pleasing to. her
audience. Miss Marlowe played
Rosalnd some seasons ago. creating
a furore in New York in her first days
as star, that has never been equal
led by any other artist in Shakespear-
can roles. Then Miss Marlows ap-
peared as Juliet, Viola, and Katherine,
and followed these Shakespearean
heroines with the more remunerative
heroines of the modern drama. But
she has always wished to return to
her first love, Rosalind, in las You
Like it." Last spring in London,
Miss Marlowe revived the play with
such emphatic success that she deter
mined to restore it to her repertoire
this season. This she has done and
her many admirers in this city last
evening attested to the esteem in
which they hold her, for her clever
conception Of her character called for
many and enthusiastic curtain calls.
