The Financlcr will say.
The statement OF the associated banks
OF the city OF New York for the week
ending April II showed larger Increase
expansion In that item having been SILL
24i 800, due principally TO more active
spcculativ conditions.
The Increase In specie and lcgals was
2.649. 500 less than the preliminary
estimates had indicated. The banks
gained during tho week both from the
subtrcasury and Interior. but shipped n
considerable amount of currency to
points further east. particularly To- Bos-
ton. The Increase I'm deposits WAS Sl3.-
I03. 500. and as this neccssltated larg" re-
serve requirements overcoming the in-
crease I'm cash. the net effect was To re-
duce surplus reserve by $62s. 900. bringing
that item down 10 S9.2T6.525.
The same influences which operated to
increase the loans Of the clearing house
banks seemed TO have prevailed also
among the trust companies for those in
stitutlous. together with the state banks
not reporting To the clearing house OK
banded their loans bv sl2.STI 800 and their
net deposits by $il $50 800. while specie
and legal tenders were reduced nearly
$500, 00O.
II will be noted that taking the clear

gcthcr. the Increase In loans In New York
last week was about S24. 600 900, with an
Increase in deposits OF approximately the
same item while tho net increase i'm cash
was only 81. 600 900. Tho cash reserves

1t was said that the laviShnesS with which
he was spending money to develop the territory
had drawn upon him sharp rebukeS from the
economical administration, and that the state
Department had refused TO honor several pt
his drafts, on the ground that they had been
issued without authority. Consequently, not

All that may be positively said Is that he LETT

New Orleans and there embark on the first

had broken out between the United States
and Great Britain, and that British warShipS

waters. Having no desire To- risk capture
and the possible loss of valuable documents
Lewis at once decided To change his plans and
travel overland: but, owing to "a sudden and
severe attack OF fever. il was two weeks or
more before ne could leave Memphis.
From Memphis to Nashville, the nearest
eastward settlement, his route lay through
IN almost uninhabited wilderness of woodland
and canebrake, abounding in SwampS and
traversed by only one road, the So-called
Natchez Trail which had formerly been an
Indian trail but had recently been expanded
as part of a system of military and post roads
connecting the southwestern settlements with
the settlements beyond the Alleghenies.
