Bank Statement.
The Financier will say:

The F1nancler VIII say:
1.-The statement of the Associated Banks
of the City of New York for the week
ended December IL showed only mod
crate changes in totals. The report of
actual conditions indicate a gain of
SIS, u.s. 800 in loans, an increase of $lO,-
975 800 in deposits, and an increase of
81, 300, 200 in cash. The effects of the gain
in cash was very nearly offset by the
reserve required on the increased de-
posits. so that surplus rose only $252, $50
making the surplus 1885, 115.
1.-The outside banks and trust companies
showed a gain of a little more than
ST 100000 in loans during the week, a
gain of 81 1850. 600 in deposits. and very
small decrease in cash holdings. The
movement of funds at present Is very
much in favor OF New York, so far as
the interior is concerned. the gain last
week having been more than 100000,
but this was largely offset by losses to
the sub-treasury. and through gold ex7
ports. The probabilities are that the
flow of cash from the interior will be
little heavier from now to the end of
the year, because of the dividend and
interest requirements, etc.

Many Spindles to Be Idle.

BOSTON. December 11.-Many spindles
in Massachusetts. New Hampshire and
Maine cotton mills will be idle during
the latter part of the month because
of the curtailment policy enforced by
the high price of the raw material. One
large plant will be shut down for ten
days and others will close for a week.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December 11.-Prices of
securities which were inclined to heavi-
narrow market In an upward direction
today. Sove for this general and
moderate exhibition of strength the days
stock exchange business was without
striking feature. AS regards specific
stocks. buying was more apparent than
elsewhere in the Rock Island, New York
Central and Utah Copper issues.
In the case Of Rock Island a current
superstition is that the liquidation of a
large block Of Rock Island stock has
recently been completed. the same being
that held by the original st. Louis and
San Francisco interests who received
Rock Island commission shares as
bonus, in addition to Rock Island COLA
teral trust bonds. at the time Of the
former sale of their property to the Rock
Island management.
Upon their resumption of the property
motive for retaining possession of the
Rock Island stock naturally disappears
The inference Is that the Rock Island
commission shares, relieved from this
pressure are experiencing the force of
an upward impulse, derived from the al
vantage to their company of its release
from the st. Louis and San Francisco
burden.
New York Central stock seemed to par
ticipate today in species Of investment
absorption Of the standard railroad prop
critics that has lately been apparent in
the market Utah Copper stock reflected
the general understanding that many of
the so-called Guggenheim properties are
about to undergo consolidation. even If
they do not at present share in the for
nation of any large copper merger. With
the decision against the American Ice
Company came decline In ice secur-
tiles stock, but it was unnoticed else
where.

Depressing Factors.

During the week the switchmen's strike
in the northwest weakened, and as re-
CARDS the current demands made by rail-
way employees generally for higher wages
the prospect appears to be that the mat
ter will be compromised and that the
railroads will be sustained by public sen
timent In placing freight rates on a
somewhat higher level.
An unfavorabIe occurrence OF the week
was. of course. the governments estimate
that the cotton crop this season Will be
but little in excess OF 100000 bales
but this Is qualified by the fact that the
governments estimate is commonly
thought to be too low and that the carry
over Of cotton from last year has been
large. The circumstance was regarded
but little in Wall street proper. 1t has
been understood for months back that
the present years cotton crop was short.
Again, too. the drought in the eastern
part OF the country, which Is in pro-
nounced contrast TO the beneficial wealth
er agriculturally that has prevailed in
the west, is causing some concern to
business interests directly affected by this
condition, particularly in the anthra-
cite mining district. where the reduced
supply Of water for use In the mines Is
causing some Inconvenience. But In the
course OF nature the drought must soor
be ended either by rainfall or by fa.
OF snow.
The country's retail trade seems now
to be highly prosperous, and to have
improved by the colder weather of the
last fortnight.
In the stock market the most pleasing
occurrence of all has been the develop.
ment of a greater demand for stocks OF
investment grade, and which doubtless
is due 10 the purchase of securities OF
this class in anticipation of the dtstribu
ton OF interest and dividend money or
the first Of the year.

Cheerful Sentiment.

The general cheerfulnees Of financial
sentiment latterly noticed in London con-
tinued today. although consols were
somewhat depressed In anticipation of an
issue of government exchequer bills. The
local weekly bank statement was in no
way worthy of especial remark. The
average surplus reserve OF the clearing
house institutions increased $2,243, 900. In
the actual figures this increase was $252,-
80.
The progress of events during the week
has been more of sort to bring about
encouragement in the financial communi-
ty and to Increase the optimism that al
ready exists there than has been wit
messed for several weeks in the irnme-
date past.
The news Of the period has included the
publication of the Presidents annual
message, with it's gratifying display of
conservatism, judicial temper and Of de-
sire to help along business prosperity on
the part of the present occupant of the
White House; the reduction in the Bank
of England discount rate and the gen
eral Improvement, not only in the money
situation and in financial sentiment in
England. but in English business affairs.
strictly speaking. as exempliied In the
larger volume OF English exports and Inn
ports for November; the decision of the
court of appeals in the suit brought by
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany against the public service commits
sion in the second district, in which the
court sustains propositions that decidedly
limit the advanced ground lately assum-
ed by these publis service boards in their
efforts to restrict corporate management;
the published figures of the production of
pig iron in the country. proving that the
steel and iron industry is still maintained
at a record-breaking pace. and the an
nouncement by the government of the
favorable state of crop conditions In the
winter wheat district December l. which
are indeed so brilliant as to afford indi-
cations at the present time Of q winter
wheat harvest next summer greater than
ever before known in our country's his
tory. This estimate Is based not simply
on the high condition of the winter wheat
crop itself just now as on the heavily in
creased winter wheat acreage. Such in
creased acreage is the result, of course,
of the high prices for wheat seen in the
season just ended.

Supreme Court Decisions.

Denver-Catherine ID. Fitch will be
compelled to serve the sentence made
against her in the District Court of
Denver on a charge of malpractice.
The Supreme Court finds that her con
viction was warranted
Gerrit Van Wyk must serve his sen.
tence for the murder of Gerritje Hast.
In confirming the sentence and finding
of the District Court of Logan county
Chief Justice Steele Incorporates the
following in his opinion:
The testimony. though circumstan-
tial points with unerring certainty to
the murder of the young woman by
the Van Wyks. There was prepare.
tion for the terrible deed by insuring
her life for the benefit of Mrs. Van
Wyk to the exclusion of her children.
by the making of her will naming Mrs.
Van Wyk as sole legatee to the eXclu
sion of her children; by the gruesome
act of buying lumber suitable for max
ing coffin: and by the taking of the
poor creature to a place remote from
them and leaving her in the dead of
winter in lonely cabin hidden from
the view of her only neighbors. and
in an unfrequented canon where mur-
der might be done unseen by human
eyes Motive was shown-a sordd
motive, the basest of all motives-the
lust for gold. The testimony has con
vinced us that the jury correctly de-
termined that Gerrit Van Wyk was
guilty of the murder of Gerritje Hast
and as no error prejudicia to the ac-
cused occurred at the trial the judg
ment of conviction is affirmed"

IDEA FOR SHORT CURTAINS.
Decorative Scheme That 10 Proving
Helpful to q Degree.

There is a fashion in decoration that
should be helpful to the woman who
must At short curtains to new win
dows.
This is the idea of having deep dec
orative borders on fabrics Of solid
color.
Separate borders can be bought at
the large shops with surprising ease
by the woman who knows how to root
out the artistic thing. They do not
come for curtains as a rule. but they
serve admirably.
The foundation color Is usually deep
tinted. although some good patterns
can be got with the foundation in
natural crash tones.
The color note Is intended. OF
course, to harmonize with the room in
which 1t is placed.
The border may be fastened on by
q double row of stitching close to-
gether, over which are big stitches
with coarse thread of the foundation
color. sewed as Bagdad strips are
sewed.
Some people omit the stitching.
using only this coarse sewing.
