UVERF|VE N||[[|ON ! BANK DEFICIT SHOWN Cash Loss Reaches Total of S16,5 ,562, ,000-The Stock
 Market Firm

New York, November 3O.-The recent strain upon the resources of the New York banks was reflected in a strik- ing way in today's bank statement. Not only was last weeks slender sur plus reserve of s6.765,ooo obliterated but at the close of the banking week, as shown in the actual table, there was a deficit of s5,057. 900. The cash loss reached q total of sl6,562,00o. an amount greatly in excess of all fore casts, tho most unfavorable view diu not suggest a shrinkage of more than Sl0,0e0. The decrease in aggregate cash reserves was $11,S23,o0.
 It is expected that the condition or the banks will be largely rectifled within a comparatively short time. The return to the banks of money with drawn for the December 1 settlement of interests and dividends and a re- 1iux of funds from Canada which is expected following the November 50 statement of the dominion banks are looked for to swell the aggregate of cash reserves.
 The stock market was firm despite the general expectation Of an unfa- Eorable bank statement. sentiment was more cheerful owing to European ad- vices of the Likelihood of an armis- tice in the Balkans and to the stead mess of the market recently in the face of unsettled money rates. Traders are still cautious, however, and the amount of business was small. The dropping advance did not affect the level of prices much. A few specialties moved more widely as did some of the west ern railroads. Rubber continued it's ad- vance. touching a new high point for this movement.

We'll Qualified

From Pearson's Weekly.
 The record of the Buxton engine driver who has driven nearly 2,000, ,000 miles recalls an engine driver stor3 heard the other day.
 Father Healy, the famous Irish priest relates that. having dined one evening at Dublin castle, he took his seat in an express train to Bray Soon after they started the train began to rock violently from side to side owing to the rate at which it was going, and Father Healy grew seriously alarmed
 Make your mind aisy. your rever- encev said an old woman in the com partment who evidently noticed his concern. and she added. by way, oi comfort: It's my son Jim who's drivin the engine tonight, and when he has a drop in him he would as soon drive on to Wicklow as not"
 But are you sure he can drive?' asked Father Healy anxiously. not at all treasured by this statement.
 "Of course he can, father" was the convincing reply. Wasn't he postillion at Quinn's hotel for five years?"

Babies not vet able to walk are often seen being made use of in the most dangerous manner during these performances. Rajahs and rich In- dlans are very fond of the acrobatic dis

London, November 5o.-The constantly changing continental political barometer was reflected in price movements on the stock exchange in the week and the mar ket after quiet trading at irregular changes closed a shade higher than last Saturday.
 The Austro-Servian tension was re- sponsible for most of the early weakness and the selling by Berlin and Paris, which depressed Canadian Pacific, and Peruvian shares most, but renewed buy ing from those quarters, based on the better outlook, together with peace pros poets, caused a fair recovery and more confident closing tones Investors ap- peared to be giving their attention to good yielding home and colonial securl- ties, the leaders of which closed appre- ciably dearer, which consols gained a 14 of a point when the settlement revealed A larger bear account than had been ex- pected.
 Dealings in American securities were slack, the money squeeze in New York checking pronounced lead from Wall street without which local operations were meager. Prices finished quiet and but little changed from week ago
 The money market is short of funds, owing to the settlement and month-end requirements and early in the week trad CTS had to borrow from the Bank of England. This hardened discounts. but the rates later declined owing to the strong bank statement, and also to the fact that New York only took small parcel of gold with such low rate of exchange prevailing. In view of the fact however, that America is in a posi- tion to take gold a material weakening in discounts is unlikely.

What Ails the Turk?

Erom the New York Commercial.
 Can 1t be that the new Turk regirn {, las emasculated the robust and fe- rocious daring in attack and obstinacy in defense which under the more fa- natIcal influence of strict Mohammedan made the Turks the victors on so many methods of government and social habit bloody battlehel1s? The effect of re- liigous passion on military success is we'll recognized as most potent factor Has the Turk lost his fighting spirit in becoming more liberal in politics and religion?

 New York, November sO.-The Fi- nancier will say:
 The New York clearing house banks are temporarily under 25 per cent min imum reserve requirements, the state ments issued Saturday having shown a deficit of s5,057.950 in this item. This calculation was based on the actual condition of the banks at the end of the week but the statement made accord : ing to the daily average system re- vealed a deficit of only s17,050. The shrinkage in reserve below legal re- quirements was brought about by the heavy decrease of $16,562, ,000 in cash, due for the most part by withdrawals by the interior
 The banks seem to be almost to the limit of their ability to further reduce loans. the contraction in the loan item last week having been only $4,S60, 900. Deposits, owing to the withdrawals of cash and the contractions in loans, fell SI9,245,000 and while this in part les sened reserve requirements it could not counteract the effect of actual cash withdrawals and the decrease in re- serve, s11.S23,050, not only wiped out the surplus reported at the end of the previous week but made a deficit.
 h view of Saturdays statement the extraordinarily high rates prevailing for call money in New York are not at all surprising, but 1t is certain that after the call of the comptroller of the currency for the statements of national banks throughout the United States, which is expected now any time. the effect will be to release a large amount of funds and in that way bring about a
