New York, Sept. 11. The Financier says: The full effect of the curnenoy shipments to the interior are shown in the statement of the associated banks of New York city for the week ending September 11. The' loan increase amounts to $7,137,600, the decrease In casfli to 57,347,700, and the loss In re serve to 57.445,325. wihlle deposits ex panded only 3390,500, showing that the money obtained by loans (Soes not corv- stltute a bank credit in the form of a deposit as usual, but the fund have gone to the interior to move the crops In New xork the commercial paper market has been quite active and stock exchange requirements have made continuous demand for call money.
At thl time last year call monejr began to so up as the banks withdrew from the loan market, but there does not seem to le the slightest probabili ty that the supply will not be sufficient for all demands until the end of the year. As the flow of money to tho weet has not yet ceased, the chances are that iha New York banks within the next few weeks will report over half their re serve In gold. The goveVnment Is rap idly approaching the same condition owing to revenue deficiency and in creasing gold supply. It is worth not however, that the note circulation of the New York banks is increasing for the flnst time 6ince election. Specie may be forced into actual circulation soon.

John Smithson Gets Mr. Gore's Plaoe as Assistant Passenger Bates Between Knoxville and Har-riman Reduced. The resignation of Mr. John P. Mof-fett as baggage master of the Southern railway at Knoxville made vacant his office, which was yesterday filled by the appointment, or rather promotion, of Mr.
John M. Gore, the night baggage master; to the office. Mr. John Smith-son was appointed night man to suc ceed Mr. Gore.
Both these young men are splendid railroaders. Mr. Gore has been with the old E. T. V.
G. and Southern for about six years. He began in the ticket auditor's office and went with that office to Washington. Later he was transferred and one year ago assumed the duties of night baggage master. He is a deserving and popular young man ability and integrity.
The traveling public can no longer complain of the passenger rate between Knoxv'Ule and Harriman. Heretofore the rate has been 5195, but by the Te-cent order of General Passenger Agent Turk, taking effect yesterday, the fare has been fixed at 51.54. The rate of three cents per mile will apply all along the Walden's Ridge line. It is said that the action of the road in reducing the rate is the outcome of the big kick brought by the people of Harriman. Southern railway circular No.
1209 has been issued from the office of General Passenger Agent W. A. Turk, under date of September 6th, 1897, ordering agents at Bluff City and Morris-town, inclusive, also the Rogersville branch, to sell tickets at one and one-third fare for the round trip on account of the annual reunion of the Confederate veterans of East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia, which will be held at Bristol, September the 14th and 15th, good to return September 16th. The Southern's "Air Brake Instruction Car," No. 108, which was built at Manchester shops in the- early part of 1895, under the direction of Mr.
W. F. Brodneao, air brake Inspector of the system, is now in the lower yards of the Southern with Brodneau in charge. The object for which the car was built was to instruct all classes of employes who either operate or. maintain the brakes.
The car is fitted up with apparatus suitable for this purpose. It is arranged with a boiler furnish steam for the air pump to sup ply the necessary air for the operation of the brake and signal apparatus. The action of the brake can be shown as ap plied to a passenger train or by opening suitable co*cks and closing others it can be converted into a freight train of sixteen cars. This train requires nearly six hundred feet of pipe to give the same effect as in actual service and the arrangement of the pipes is one of the most unique features of the car. There is also the signal complete for an eight car train.
In addition this active equipment there are sections of all parts to assist in the Instruction. In one end of the car is an office, handsomely fitted with berths of the Pullman style, desks, chairs, closets, all of the space having been utilized to the best possible advantage. The Southern deserves credit for this systematic instruction of its employes in the use of air brakes, thereby protecting the lives and property of their patrons. This car will be here, until Monday night. Brodneau will instruct classes Monday.

The young man with the long fore lock who had just finished his Manhat-' tan co*cktail set the glass upon the bar, and taking a match from his pocket held it gingerly between his thumb and fingers, a moment and then hurled it suddenly to the floor of the saloon. It fell at his feet and bounded-away. An other and another followed and the young man with the long forelock showed as much Interest In his work as though he were hurling bombs at plu tocrats. The man with the red hair watched him gravely for a moment and then asked: "I'm trying to make one of these matches strike on the floor," said the vnune man with the forelock as he hurled another harmlessly. The man with the red hair put down his half finished high ball, and, after watching the cours of one or two more matches, felt in his 'pocket for one, and holding It as he had seen the other hold threw it against the floor.
It did not explode. "Sometimes I can do it right away; said the young man with the long forelock, throwing another match with great force, "but I don't seem to be able to get onto it today." The man with the red hair was deep In the game by this time. He matches until the floor was covered with the little sticks and not one had ignited. The man who wore a straw hat after September 1 had been the contest from afar. He, caught the spirit the occasion and- solemnly adjusted a match in his fingers and hurled it at the floor.
Then the three men stood around in a ring, forgetting home and mother and the drinks on the bar, threwing matches at the door until suddenly one of them straightened up and said: "This is a good thing for three large brainy men to bedoing." Then everybody took" a drink and went out Into the cold, unfeeling world. Just try a 10c box of Cascarets, the finest liver and bowel regulator ever mads.
