OTHER SURPRISE.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-Philadel-

first assembly ball. the most exclusive
and conservative affair Of its kind in
Philadelphia, had thrown OF its tradi

in the history of the function had
provided Quaker City society with a
sensational surprise.
At given signal last night gaily
painted wigwam was lowered to the
floor, and then the fun began. In
stantly there was pandemonium in
the ballroom. Dignifled society men
chased debutantes and matrons, and
above the shouts and giggIes the or
crestra broke into the strains of
"Tammany."
Men descended with one fell swoop
from the wigwam and boldly seized a
pale.faced squaw. Round and round
they whirled. waving tomahawks and
feathers. whooping like real Indians
on spree.

The Financier says: 1.-THE official
statement of the New York associated
banks showed the most gratifying and
assuring exhibit OF the entire extinc-
ton of the deficiency in reserve, dis.
closing a surplus of sG,0S4,O5O on gen
eral deposits, and surplus Of s24,S7h-
a95. as computed on such deposits less
those of public funds. The first de-
Gciency indicated at the beginning OF
the crisis of 1907 was s1,233,3Oo octo-
Der 25. This was later increased to
s54, 1o2 GOO by November %; from that
maximum there was more or less
gradual reduction in this item to SILL
500, $50 January this year, and this
deficiency was, as above noted, chang
ed TO substantial surplus in the lat
est statement 1t will be interesting
to note that in the crisis of 1898 the
first deficiency was shown July s: the
banks Indicated sulplus OF $2.9G6,-
375 o September 8, so that the visible
traces OF the panic of that year out
lined to be shown for nine weeks; such
traces have been observed in the pres
ent crisis eleven weeks. The exhibit
showed the surprising increase of $751;
3S9, 900 in cash: this seems to have
been largely caused by the heavy re.
mittances during the week by interior
correspondents of New York banks to
their reserve agencies, probably for
the reinforcement of their previously
greatly depleted reserves. Deposits
