sEABoARD REcE1vERsHIP.
Reasons Alleged for the Selection of
Edwin Carlton Duncan.

Since the appointment by Judge Pritch-
ard, in Richmond, Of Edwin Carlton Dun
can, collector Of internal revenue for the
fourth internal revenue district, as an
additional receiver for the Seaboard Air
Line Railway Company, there has been
considerable discussion regarding the
causes for the appointment. 1t has been
generally conceded that r. Lancaster
Williams of Richmond and s. Davies
Warfield of Baltimore, who were first
designated as receivers, represent respec-
lively the Williams and Ryan interests,
which have long been contenders FIR con-
troll of the Seaboard. and the statement
has been made that the selection of Mr..
Duncan marks the personal choice by the
court of man who will represent the
court and all concerned-a man in which
all interests may have fullest confidence.
h. c. Duncan was born in Carteret
county. N. c. In his young manhood he
was given the management of the large
land estates of his grandfather, Thomas
Duncan, and of Isaac Ramsey, and as a
farmer and a business man he displayed
splendid executive ability.
In 1889 President Harrison appointed
him collector of the Port of Beaufort and
ministration. In 1894 and again in 1896
he was elected to the House of Represen-
tatives from Carteret county. He is not
only the only republican who has carried
that county since the civil war. but is the
only man of either party who has sue
ceeded in being elected to the same Office
in Carteret for two successive terms
President Mckinley. February 1, 1893. ap-
pointed him collector for the eastern dis
trict of North Carolina to succeed F.
NJ. Simmons, who is now United States
senator. He has held this position for
the past ten years.
Mr.. Duncan has, for a number of years
been a member Of the state republican
executive committee. and is now the ma
ttonal committeeman from this state. He
is also a director on the part of the pri-
vate stockholders of the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad and is next to the
largest private stockholder In the road
1t Is not thought that the acceptance of
the receivership will cause him 10 leave
Raleigh, N c., where he now makes him
home

NEW YORK, January 1s.-A tre-
mendous flow Of cash from the banks
throughout the country to the New York
city banks was indicated today by the
bank statement, which showed an in
crease of $26. 500 in the amount of
cash held by the New York clearing house
institutions. This increase in cash is
not thought to be a record one, but 1t
Is believed to approach within a few mil
lions OF the largest increase ever re-
corded in single week in this city.
Ffnanciers declared that it showed clear
ly that the interior banks were entirely
reaSsured by the banks last week, when
the first time since October a surplus
OF reserve was established in place Of
the deficit which had long existed In
consequence the interior banks were
sending their surplus cash to New York,
where it found employment, not only in
the stock market. but in financing at
lease one large bond issue by the New
York Central and Hudson River rail
road.
The return of this amount of cash from
the interior was regarded by bankers in
New York as the end of the previous dis
position to withhold cash In the interior
and as showing that there will hereafter
be no shortage Of funds for all legitimate
purposes here.
AN increase in the surplus reserve this
week of $16.551 .425. bringing the sur
plus up to So, ,635, ,475. shows that the
position OF the banks is greatly strength
ened over last week. Notwithstanding the
renewed activity in the stock market and
the increased loans incident thereto.
NEW YORK. January 1S.-The state
ment of clearing house banks for the week
shows that the banks hold $50 635, Ats
more than the requirements Of the % per

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Some faces that are usually seen at the
daily mee tings of the stock exchange were
missing today, and it is presumed the
meeting of the Washington railway stock
holders accounted for the vacant places.
At any rate the occasion was considered
OF sufficient importance to the financial
interests of the city to explain the alb
sence of three of the leading members of
the exchange.
There was not much done in the way of
business in celebration of his birthday an
niversary. but Mr.. Williams was present
ed by each of the brokers with a stick of
candy, the number being supposed to rep
resent the years which have passed over
his head. Owing to the lack Of system
brokers firing the candy at Mr.. Williams
head from whatever place in the room
they happened to be. 1t was impossible
to keep track of the number. This. how
ever, did not appear to worry Mr.. Will
liza ms.
The president, Mr. Hume, who was the
medium of passing over to the happy re-
cipient, on behalf of his fellow-brokers,
a cabbage which was on the end OF
broom, observed in the course Of his pres
entation address, which was quite brief
and to the point, that he believed 1t was
the sixty third occasion of this sort In
the career of Mr.. Williams. Some Of the
brokers took exception to the figures, but
Mr.. Williams maintained a discreet si-
lence, so that none of the facts in the
case came out.
The principal feature Of the trading was
the upward course in the figures for
Greene Cananea Copper, which did not,
however, bring it up to the level of the
days trading in the stock In the New
York curb market. The stock sold there
today up to 9ss. Here the bid was SIS. as
compared with Sss of yesterday, and the
asking price was 91s.
There are two reasons given for this
Improvement in the figures. One is the
alleged buying of copper properties In
this country by an English syndicate, and
the other is the sale of some material
which the company had on hand.
The Mitchell mining stock, which Is also
listed on the exchange, does not seem to
be affected, at least in the same way. and
no change was made in the quotations.
which have been the same for several days
past.

NEW YORK. January 1s.-The circum-
stances at large bearing upon the stock
market for securities favored improving
tendencies, and these were accordingly
registered in emphasized form in today S
dealings.
A very strong bank statement was indl-
Gated in the forecasts relating to that
document, and an excellent impression
was created by the intelligence from
Washington that the Department of Jus
tiee would not proceed against the an
thracite coal railroads pending an adjudi-
cation of the Hepburn act by the Supreme
court
American stocks we're decidedly strong
in the London market, and foreign houses
were buyers here of considerable amounts
OF securities on balance.
Weekly Trade Reports.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country's
trade were likewise gratifying exhibits 1t
was probably the case, however. that the
intelligence from Washington with regard
to the attitude of the Attorney General to-
ward the anthracite coal properties was
the handspring in the movements In the
market.
For weeks past the situation created Dy
the passage of the Hepburn act has been
one of the most perplexing problems that
had TO be faced, and now seemingly some
way out OF the difficulty has temporarily
at least been discovered. Reading and
the other coal stocks naturally responded
vigorously to this intelligence
Other leading features of the market
were Union Pacific. Atchison, ST. Paul,
the United States Steel shares and Brook
