AVERAGE.


The statement of the Associated Banks
Of the City Of New York for the week
ending September II was, in as far as
cash decrease is concerned, a little more
favorable than had been anticipated The
known operations of the banks indicated
a loss Of about 5000, 600 in specie and
legals on account OF shipments to the in
terror and operations with the subtreas-
ury. The statement Of actual condition
however, showed a decrease in cash Of
only s., S37 800. The important feature
Of the statement was an increase Of ST.
CSC. 500 in loans, due probably to crop
financing. particularly to meet the needs
of the south. Deposits, by reason Of
the changes noted, increased 81 .449. COO

the reserve on all deposits fell So, 100. 900
making the present surplus above the 20
per cent requirement 81 1865. 175, which is
above the average for this season.
Owing to the demand for bills, the
banks are increasing their circulation.

having been more than $2OOO,OOO The
summary Of state banks and trust COM
panies not reporting to the New York
clearing house showed, as a most i'm
portant change. an increase of 81 500. 900
in cash and over 100000 in deposits,
loans having remained stationary. This
gave rise to an impression that the
clearing house banks were taking on
themselves the burden of new loan COM
mitments, but the demand for loans, to
tell the truth, originates outside this
] eenter, rather than in it.

Would Be Sufficient Funds.

With this complication removed there
would be very little doubt left OF the
sufficiency of money market resources
for the needs of the movement OF crops
The confidence in the money and bank
ing position is based not only on the face
OF the incoming returns from national
banks to the controllers office, but on
the tone of more detailed information
from banking sources, banking examiners
and other authorities.
From these il is shown that the char
aCter as we'll as the volume of the credits
of interior banks in the smaller centers
has been rectified so far as practically to
remove any uneasiness that was felt IN
the spring of the year and even at the
date of the preceding call for condition.
The signs of contraction in business aud
industry lessen the prospective require
ments of the money market, but do not
help the prospect for values of securities.

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE wav-

was an accurate reflection of the con-
tinued uncertainty of the speculative

count was an influence on the market
The expressed intention of the foreign

TO DEFEAT PATTERSON.

The Independents and Prohibitionists
of Tennessee have Endorsed the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, which will
probably result in the Solid South be-
ing broken. The pardoning of Duncan
B. Cooper for the murder of Senator
Carmack by Governor Patterson is the
prime cause for such action-Demo-
crat, Grant Parish.
The solid South" as applied to Ten
nessee will only be broken by the cleo
ton of Republican for Governor in
stead of Patterson, the so-called 'regu-
lar" Democrat. The protests of the peo-
pie of Tennessee, excepting the so-called
regulars and their allies, are against Pat
terson and the men who have been dom
mating in Tennessee with an iron hand
1t was only recently that Patterson
offered to Withdraw from the contest
and let the Democrats name his success
or, but he reserved the right to go to
the United States Senate The people
eff Tennessee, excepting his allies, would
not trust him and have repudiated his
pretensions. In every other respect be-
sides the Governor, the Democrats in
Tennessee will score the usual majority.
The Independents and the Prohibition
lists and all the good people of Tennes-
see being in favor of law and order have
joined in their determination to repu-
date Patterson, whose pardoning of the
murderer of Senator Carmack was an
outrage and defiance of law which no
self-respecting citizenship would toler-

STRANGE uTTERANCE.

Hon N. c. Blanchard recently said
before the Conservation Congress at St.
Paul, Mimi THE doctrine of State
rights is dead; it is dead under the
tramping feet of a million marching
men, yet yesterday it tried to rear its
head and bare its arm, and it is Our
duty to see that it is not again permit
ted to gain a foothold.' That is strange
language for Southern man to use, es-
pecially by one whom Louisiana has
honored as it has the speaker under
the belief that he entertained entirely
opposite views. But Ex-Governor Blan
chard no longer represents the senti-
ment OF the people of Louisiana, nor
any considerable part of them, on this
is not dead, nor will it die so long as
the Republic exists. The occasion that
drew the above expression from eN-
Governor Blanchard shows that it is a
live issue in the West, Mr., Roosevelt
wants to do away with the rights of the
States, and Ex-Governor Blanchard ap-
pears to be his co-worker.-Mans6eld
Journal.
The Journal should have been fair to
Hon n c. Blanchard. At least it
should have given the consideration to
the issue pending which prompted the
declaration that the doctrine of State
rights is dead" To each State i'll the
Union are reserved some rights which
have not been trampled under the feet
of a million marching men," but in the
proposed conservation of the forests,
the lands and valuable property. of the
United States, any action by the States
would prove abortive. AS has been de-
veloped recently, even with the backing
of the Federal Government, lands and
valuable mineral claims have been alb
sorbed for speculation by land sharks
and syndicates Whatever forests, lands
and valuables remain to the United
States must be safeguarded by Federal
authority, and with the cooperation of
each State the scandals connected with
heads of the government as to forests
and lands may be impossible in the flu
ture.
The Caucasian is somewhat of stick
Ter for such rights as are possessed by
each State, but the tendency of the times
is towards the Capitalization of author
ity in the government in promoting and
in furthering the Improvements of har-
bors and river and the construction of
levees as the means of protecting mil
lions of acres from the annual floods of
the Mississippi river and its tributaries
The Mansfield Journal should be con-
sistent and should not forget that the
doctrine of State rights, as it is under
stood in the West, is a very live issue in
the South.
The Caucasian is not the apologist for
Mr. Blanchard, but he was right in his
position and in his advocacy of the con-
servation by Federal authority of what
ever property of the United States held
for the public, which has not been de-
spoiled by private interests and by syn
dicates.

IAFQLIETTE,S VICTORY.

The Commoner: Senator LaFollette's
victory is a deserved compliment to a
Republican who is real progressive II
is too bad Mr.. Roosevelt has no part
in the rejoicing. He might easily have
said a few words in his behalf or writ
ten him a letter or something. LaFol-
iette deserved something better from one
who aspires to be the leader of the pro-
gressives. Standpatter Burllett of Ne
braska came in for an endorsement, but
the chief of the Insurgents--the one
who has insurged longer, harder, in
more different directions and on more
subjects than any one else, how does it
happen that he was ignored?
