AVERAGE.

The Financier will say:
An unexpected cash gain amounting to
50, oS3. 0O0. or At least three times in ex-
cess Of what the known figures earlier
in the week Indicated, brought about an
increase in the surplus reserve In the
New York banks of $7.141, 700. according
10 the statement OF actual conditions is-
sued Saturday. As result Of this gain
minimum is now $40, 7Ol, t75. This is the
largest surplus recorded since the middle

pairing to meet crop requirements, and Is

about two millions below the real surplus

It Is rather interesting to note that
the shrinkage In loans was not confined

Railroads Doubt Outcome.

1t is very evident that the railroads
themselves are not feeling at all certain
of favorable action on their appeals for
permission to raise the rates. They are
pursuing hand-to-mouth policy and are
holding in allegiance every large project
which may have been tentatively agreed
upon or be under consideration. Great
ado Is made over the placing of a few
orders for steel rails, and columns Of
space have been consumed in recounting
the details of orders for the week aggre-
eating as much as 5000 tons Of rails.
The big steel trust alone could fill trat
order in four or FIVE days.
The total rail capacity of the mills of
this country IS in excess of 100000 tons
per annum. The steel trust alone has a
capacity for the production Of 1900 900
tons or better. 1t Is doubtful If the en-
tire output for 1910 will go much beyond
LOCO, 900 tons.
An awful lot of tommyrot is being
printed these days about the iron and
steel business The publicity bureaus are
trying to make it appear that the industry
is working into better shape, when In
point of fact directly the contrary is the
case as everybody in the trade admits
ccnfidentially. One place where 1t is
holding its own is in the export trade.
To make up for bad business at home the
larger companies are straining every eff
fort to sell their products abroad and
they are making q fairly good showing,
particularly the steel trust.

Money Getting Easier.

Banks Recover Funds.

The feature of the bank statement was
;he heavy transfer of deposits and loans
from trust companies to clearing house
banks, occasioned by the decline in IN
terest rates during the week. There were
decreases In the weekly averages OF
other banks and trust companies OF
1885. 500 in deposits. SIS, 7s5.5OO in loans
and $1,000, 500 in cash. This transfer
seems to have been neutralized in the
actual showing Of the clearing house
banks by loan contraction in other quar-
tiers, including stock market liquidation, so
that the loan increase only reached the
nominal sum Of ss52, 700.
Evidently the shifting from the trust
companies did help to benefit the casa
showing Of the banks. the actual cash
increase of over s9.COO,O00 comparing with
preliminary estimates of only $2.OO0.OOO.
There follows the gratifying consequence
of a further material shr:nkage in the
excess OF the loan over the deposit item.
Bonds were steady. Total sales par
value 81, 260, 900.

Steel practically rose to the highest

COLLEGE MEN GIVEN BLAME
FOR BEING LAWLESS ELEMENT
Statistics Show That COLLEGE Gradu

obey the Laws.

CHICAGO, Mar. ga report to be
submitted to the Oberlin, Ohio, as
ISOLATION of Illinois at it's annual meet
ing in Chicago at an early date, char
ges the college bred men with being
the most lawless element of modern
society. The report has been COM
piled my an Oberlin alumni committee
of Chicagoans and the data has been
collected all over the United States.
The general indictment is two fold.
1t accuses college men of being know
ing breakers of the law and of being
Indifferent when thew see the law be-
ing broken by others. Among the
specific findings of the committee are
the following:
1t was found that many college men
elected in city, state and nation. after
taking an oath to enforce toe law
of the land are violating their oaths
by not enforcing certain laws on our
statute books.
Tt was found that many college and
university men in Chicago belong to
clubs where the members have kept
the bar of these clubs open on Sunday
contrary to the criminal code of Illi-
nois
1t was found that in many instan-
ceS college men are members expected
to prepare immunity baths for our
delinauent and lawless citizens. 1t
was founl that many college men are
afraid to protest against lawlessness
for fear such protest may injure their
business or their prospects of being
elected to some Office.

estate, the once famous shipyard own
ed and operated by the late John
Roach & Son at this place, goes under

1t was at this yard that the new
navy of metal ships was begun, when
William E. Chandler was secretary of
the navy. The cruisers Chicago, Bos-

Dolphin were the pioneer vessels.
