The New York Financer says this
week:
The statement of the Associated Banks
OF New York for the week ending May
10 failed to disclose the anticipated gain
OF about s3,0oO0O0 in cash.
Ihe actual ngureS showed q small III
crease of 100000 in specie and legal ten
ders, but considering the export of $6,O0o..
600 gold during the week, the statement
was altogether favorable. particularly
since the decrease of $17,323. 900 in loans
brought about a corresponding decrease
of $17.479.000 in deposits, lessening reserve
requirements by an amount sufficient tl
Increase surplus by $S,Sd6950. the prescut
excess standing at $19,S02. 800.
The surplus based on the average sys-
tenn stands at sl6,940,5Oo. The exports of
gold at this time have been regarded viii,
more attention than is usually the case
for the reason that the banks through
out the country are rather well inflated
as regards loan commitments. and again
because there will fall due within the next
three months more than s200,000,OO0 OF
maturing securities. mostly of short
time character, which will have to be e.
newed or funded into definite bonded Oh
legations.

will reach directly the cause of lessen.

practical application Of his theory that
infected and unsanitary soil, and no,
deterioration Of soil elements, is re.
responsible for decreasing yields.
Prof. Bolley's announcement, in
view Nof the growth Of scientific farm.
ing in the state, may prove revolution
arv as regards soil treatment.
The loss of nitrogen, humus, phos
pilates and lime and the decreased fer
tility Of the soil is not wholly or even
primarily responsible for lessered
yields, according to the professor. Hf
cites a long line Of experiments to
show that diseased seed infects TIE
land.

crops in which the diseases of one cror
will not iniure the following cror
