Washington, Jan. 29 —To-day’s statement
of the condition of the treasury shows:
Available cash balance, $241,134,919; gold

NYw York. Jan. 29.—The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, increase, $1,334,250; loans,
increase, $2,3*15,600; specie, increase. $2,445,-

its, increase. circulation, de
crease, $124,900. The banks now hold $35,609,-
4.>'sin excess of the requirements of the 25
per cent. rule.
New York. Jan. 29.-The Evening Post’s
London financial cablegram says:
“Americans were dull here to-day in re
sponse to Now York prices, but the close
was above the lowest. Gold is in good de
mand. Money is likely to be more in de
mand next week.”
New York. Jan. 29.—At the opening the
stock market to-day locked as though the
orders accumulated by- commission houses
over night were to sell in order to take
profits. The first sales were very gener
al at a fraction below last night's price
and 2,200 shares of New York Central
thrown on the market drove the price of
the block down %. Ihe market steadied
almost immediately and recovered grad
ually to above last night’s level, net gains
being, however, very unequal.
Liquidations from London this morning
showed some depression for Americans
there, yvhieh was attributed to the appre
hension awakened in the British mind on
yesterday’s vote on the Teller resolution
in the Senate.
The week opened with a continued ten
dency toward a reaction and the hesita
ting tone in the early dealings on Mon
day gave way to very positive weakness
uponMhe announcement that the Maine
had been ordered to Havana.
This sharp decline seemed to clear the
speculative situation by- giving the shorts
an opportunity to cover. The character
of the buy-ing at the decline made it very
evident that the powerful interests had
taken up heavy lines of stocks with con
fidence and their aggressive manipulation
for an advance was evident during the re
mainder of the week. The most
effective factor in their favor
was the strong upward tendency of New
Y’ork Central, at first unexplained, but
made clearer by information of a plan in
contemplation for absorbing the Lake
Shore. How- much the general strength of
the market was due to the influence of
this special movement, and the sympathe
tic strength in the xyidely extended Van
derbilt group, was made evident on Fri
day, when a realizing movement in New
York Central left the market without
support and a reaction ensued.
Another sustaining force was the an
nouncement that of the .refunding plan,
and the very large increase in net earn
ings for the fiscal year thus far shown
by the president’s statement. Rock Is
land held the advance in the whole Gran
gers group until the publication of the
December earnings of Burlington and St.
Paul, which were view-ed favorably by
the operators.
The statement of the railroad earnings
have usually been favorable lately, nor
tably those of Northern Pacific and Penn
sylvania, published to-day, the latter be
ing regarded as an especially reliable In
dex of the country's railroad business.
All of the securities of the Kansas and
Texas company- have been very- strong
during the week on the improved finan
cial condition shown by the reports for
the year thus far.
The bulls made increased purchases in
anticipation of the President's speech on
Thursday, and some of Friday’s selling
was due to realizing on the delivery of the
speech. The realizing helped consid
erably by large buying for London ac
count on Wednesday and Thursday and
this was followed by an almost equ.pl
amount of selling on the succeeding day.
It was evident that the t railing was for
a short turn.
The money market was easier, notwith
standing the withdrawal from the banks
of the first 10 per cent installment of the
governments Union Pacific payments.
There was also an abundance of money
and the ease of rates is all that prevents
larger imports of gold, as the supply of
exchange is constantly increasing, and
rates for money in London and Berlin are
again hardening.
Net gains in the general list extend up
to 3 points and in the specialties to 1%
in Lake Shore, and 6% in New York Cen
tral. Kansas and Texas preferred, Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois stock, Rock
Island, Northern Pacific preferred, and
Northwest, also made heavy gains. With
sales of bonds for the week on a par
value of over $26,000,000 in that depart
ment, the exchange exceeds al! previous
■ business, both for the week and on the
month thus far, any month’s business
previously done. Many sales were made
for profit-taking, but prices are higher for
the week. United States 4s, coupons, are
■V; bid higher.

The Mother AVaa Not Deoelved.
He was a tired looking young man os
he leaned up against a shade tree on
Miami avenue, says the Detroit Free
Press, and the patrolman who came along
and halted to look him over finally queried;
"Well, what are you doing here?”
"More or less t-tight,” was the answer.
“What’s that paper you have in your
hand?”
"You can have It.”
"Bank check, eh?” said the officer as he
scanned It under the light. “Have you
been trying to work a confidence game?”
"Oh, no,” replied the young man ns he
yawned sleepily. “That was a little racket
on my own account.”
“How do you mean?”
“Why, I’m going with a girl who loves
me for myself alone, but her mother looks
at the cash side of the question.”
"And you filled out this check to deceive
her?”
"That's what I did. I showed her that
I had $3,000 in the bank, but what did she
do but post right down there and find out
that I didn’t have a hair pin on deposit,”
"‘And what?”
“Why, that’s how I came to get tight.
She showed me the door and 1 knew from
the way she closed It behind me that the
syndicate was busted, amt so I went to
ruin at the nearest saloon!”
Then They Smiled.
A little boy from California who has
been about a great deal is spending the
holidays with his Washington cousins says
the Washington Post. He has enjoyed the
sights of the capital, but he hasn’t per
mitted himself to be in the slighest degree
overawed by anything he has seen. His
cousins took him—"carried” him, they said
of it themselves—to the national museum
one day, and called his attention to a
great log of fie trifled wood lying just out
side the door. The little Californian had
been a little depressed, but he brightened
up at the sight.
•T’vo seen a whole tree like that,” he
said.
The Washington cousins maintained
their composure.
“We've got a whole forest of trees like
that out west,” went on the young west
erner. Still the Washingtonians were not
at all impressed. The California boy drew
a long breath.
“We’ve got a whole woods of putrefied
trees.” he said. “Yes, and they's putre
fied birds sitting on, ’em, and—and,” with
one last effort to disturb the calm self
satisfaction of his companions, "they’re
singing putrefied songs, too.”

’’What ever became of the colonel?” In

“He went West and batted around there
for several years, and then came back to
Kentucky.”
"Is he still living?”
"Oh, no. Been, dead twenty years.”
"Didn’t die and natural death, did he?”
"Yes.”
"You don’t say! I never would have
thought it”
"Yes. He got tnto a scrap over poli
tics, and the other fellow shot him on the
spot.”
The listener showed his surprise.
"Shot? Why, 1 thought you said he died
a natural death?”
"That’s what I did say.”
"Then how in thunder do—”
"Hold on!” Interrupted the other man.
"You seem to forget that we are talking
about Kentucky."
