The New York Financier says this week: The state ment of the associated banks of New York for the week ending March 6, is unusually tavorable. Loans show an expansion of f4,4&2,100, which brings the total of this item to 502,01,800. a point higher than has been recorded since October 26, 1895. This seems surpris ing in view of the fact that the present time is generally regarded as being very dull, so far as business is con cerned. With a volume of loans ex ceeding five hundred millions, the. pres ent rates for money approxlmatingly low, but when it Is considered that the deposits of the New York banks are now $577,461,100, the largest since Au gust 17, 1895, the fact does not appear so singular. The present excess reserve of the banks is $55,556,925, which 1b fourteen millions higher than was the ease -during the hesyvy inflow of. funds during 1895. The current expansion in loans is be lieved to be due in some measure to preliminary operations connected with the Lake Shore refunding scheme and partly to loans, made to importers who are making preparations to bring in goods before the new tariff law is pass ed. Money being cheap, it is only log ical that advantage is being taken of the favorable opportunity for anticipat ing heavier custom payments. It will not be strange if this movement as sumes larger proportions within a few weeks. The banks lost $1,041,100 In cash during the weekl The gain in specie aggregating $1,120,800, was due to the movements of gold from California and the loss of $2,161,900 in legal tenders is accounted for partly by reason of the expansion In loans and the absorption of funds by the Treasury. The banks are still decreasing their circulation, the total now standing at 16,496,200, which is only slightly above the nor mal.

The orgies and disgraceful proceed ings (in the House) almost broke up the Senate, and many of the grave and reverend law-makers of that body rushed over to the House to see if in deed, as it sounded, a new Reign of Terror had been ushered In. A few moments later, while the Sen ate was discussing the educational bill, some one urged that a certain provision ought to pass because it had passed the House. Frank Ray had the floor and he cried out: "If the House is a cri terion for us we would all now.be piling out the windows of this chamber like a bowling mob. Let us do what is right, and hope that the House may get sane again and be clothed in and its right mind." He had scarcely finished speaking be fore the Senate doorkeeper shouted out: "A message from the House of Repre sentatives." ' I "Let the messenger come forward if he hain't got that mob with htm."

H,- - Washington, March ft. All the menv. bers of the new cabinet except Mr. Gage met In the cabinet room adjoin ing the President's ofBce at half past Is o clock tais morning; when, accord ing to arrangements he Chief Justice was expected to administer tne oath of emce. nr. tiage nat not understood this programme, nor -apparently bad Chief Justice Fuller, Who had made an appointment to sweaxin the new Secre tary of the Treasury in the Treasury Department at 11:15, and Mr. Gage bad issued a number of invitations to Illi- noisans to witness the -ceremony. The entire Supreme Court bad also an en gagement to call on fhe President in a body at 11 o'clock, to pay their respects, and this was the only part of tne day's programme that occurred strictly ac cording to schedule time. The confu sion at the White House was extraor dinary all morning, due to the crowds of men who had in some way, secured cards of Introduction and to tbe nu merous Congressmen who appeared with -constituents who wished to see all the apartments- and who in many instances succeeded, j ' Secretary Porter's office was overrun with Senators and Representatives, but he denied himself to them and remained with the President in the cabinet room. While the meeting of the President and his advisors was continuing and every effort being made to reach Chief Jus tice Fuller to administer the oath, the Supreme Court was suddenly announced a few moments before 11 o'clock, and the President hurried down stairs into the Blue Parlor to greet them. After the usual formalities of this reception when, the Chief Justice learned that the cabinet had been waiting for him, he suggested for convenience, that the ceremony might well be performed at once in the presence of the court, and this was promptly acted upon. 4 The oath was administered to the See. retary of State at 11:15 and to the oth ers in rapid succession In the following orders-General Alger, Judge McKenna, ex-Governor Long, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Gary and Mr. Wilson. The ceremony was in the nature of a private affair, but. for all that and the limited number that witnessed it, the dainty Blue Room was pretty well filled. President McKinley was seem ingly the most interested spectator. With him were Mr. Porter, his secre tary, and Lieutenant Gilmore, of the regular army, who has been assigned to duty as temporary aide to the Presi dent. . Mr. T. C. Bancroft Davis, the venerable reporter of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Faust, the crier, were also present. When the President and the mem bers of the cabinet, had assented to the suggestion of Chief Justice Fuller that the oath of office be administered at once to Major McKinley's officers, it was ascertained that none of the dig nified judges had brought a Bible with him. Then a search was made for one around the Whiter House. An usher finally produced the required volume, a tattered copy used, in settling disputes on scriptural phraseology between two argumentative employes of the White House force. The distinguished party meanwhile had proceeded from the cab inet room through, the private part of the mansion to the rear, or private stairway, down which they walked slowly and with dignity. The crowds in the lobby, the officers corridor and on the public stairway were thus avoided and few of the unfortunate throng that had been fortunate enough to obtain admission, knew of what was going on behind the big doors that President Arthur had caused to be erected be tween an interested public and people who, behind that official position, did not involve a total surrender of pri vacy, a Justice Brown is a Michigan man, a resident of Detroit, and it was at the request of General Alger, his fellow townsman, that lie swore in the new Secretary of War. The Chief Justice and Justice Gray administered the oath to the other members present. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the members of the i Supreme Court "llled out of the Blue Room to the public lob by, the tall and distinguished Justice Harlan leading the way with the ven erable Justice Field leaning on his arm. The President and his new advisors went up stairs to the cabinet room to get their overcoats and hats, and then proceeded to their respective depart ments to meet the officials and em ployes of each, f- Chief Justice Fuller and his fellow Jurists went overi to the Treasury De partment and met Secretary Carlisle and Mr. Gage, in the office of the Sec retary. There the oath was adminis tered to Mr. Gage, before a large num ber of officials and clerks. A brief informal meeting of the new cabinet was help just prior to the swearing in, in the cabinet room. Noth ing important was said or done. The door of the cabinet room was left open, while the President and his advisors talked, and many of those waiting in the corridor that serves as a waiting room were interested spectators of the scene. President. McKinley walked around the cabinet table chatting with the members. The first delegation that the President saw after the cabinet in stallation consisted of Adjutant Gen eral Howe, and most of those who had been on Major McKinley's staff while he was Governor of Ohio. They were accompanied by a number of ladles. Then he went into the East Room to shake hands with another great crowd of visitors. t A BABE-LEGGED BRIIXKGROOM. Intereatlag Festers ef a Swell Wedding at pTssbvUle. An interesting feature of the Majori-banks-Brown wedding in Naahville, Tenn., last week was Coloney Strathy, of the Scots Guards, a member of tbe Earl of Aberdeen's staff, who brought his Scotch clothes along with him and exposed his knees to the , astonished gaze of the inhabitants of the Rock City. Of this important personage the Nashville American says: "But the picturesque figure of the evening was the handsome N and gallant Colonel Strathy, of the Royal Scots, Montreal. He marched slowly up the aisle, his sword clanking &t his heels, dressed in the striking uniform of tne Highlander, His Jacket was! scarlet and his kilts a dark green plaid. His legs were bare at the knees and several inches above and below. Further down he wore stockings in harmony with his kilts. He carried- bis bonnet, in keeping with his dress, on his arm, and had a large Jewel fastened, on his left shoulder. Aside from the bride, groom and the Karl and the Countess of Aberdeen. Colonel Strathy was the lion of the evening. He quite appreciated the nov elty of his costume in this section. Af terward, at the Warner reception, he exchanged banters concerning his dress in a good-humored way." Bit OrMtSMrifiM.

CUTHBERT A CD : BJordaa's - Those Who Bay en deed Breaks WO! Seen Find an Opportunity eBsaIlse m Higher Figure. Special to the Observer. New York, March t. A break in prices of enarly thirty-five points and the gradual disappearance of the bull ish sentiment are the notable features of the week in cotton.-: As, in .the ab sence of anything approaching specu lative activity, the brisk demand for spot cotton from all quarters, resulted last week in a sharp rise here, so, this wek. tbe slackening in that demand has been very potent ; in the decline. The political news from Europe was not encouraging this morning, and "Liv erpool sent disappointing cables, re porting an advance of only one sixty fourth in that market. Prices here opened lower and with the exception of a slight recovery of two points imme diately after the opening, due to some buying of the later months by commis sion houses declined steadily all day. May opened at 6.96, advanced to 6.98, declined to 6.91, and closed at 6.92S6.93, with the tone of the market steady. The situation is a very mixed one, and traders are much" troubled to form in telligent opinions on the market. Tbe war cicuds in the Levant, whether they prove serious or not, have certainly been the leading factor of this week's decline. The uncertainty as to whether war will result or not Is almost as djs turbine in its effects on business sj open hostilities would be, while nearly every one holds to the opinion that some solution of the problem, other than an appeal to arms, will be forth coming, everyone fears that his opinion mav be wroncr and curtails his nnanciai ventures so as to be as wen prepared an rmnsible for whatever may occ-ir. The movement of cotton has been far in excess of the exnectation of the bulls. but the almost universal belief that rhia has been due to the recent heavy purchases by exporters ana tne iniiis and the interior markets and that it has left the sources of supply almost bare of cotton, has robbed this factor of much of its natural effect uaon th-j maiket. There is little doubt out that, with the least encouragement in the way of advancing marfcets, the mills of the world would again become uc-tive buyers, and on its merits cotton looks cheap to us. There are so many possi ble occurrences that would effect even these low values adversely that we ad vise caution, but we still thinK tnat those who buy upon good breaks will soon find an opportunity to realize at higher prices.1 hiokuaw at Tbe Stock Market New York, March 6i To-day's limited market at the stock exchange was un der the absolute control of the room traders. These operators for the mo ment are bearish and seem to be great ly exercised over the probability of- a war in Europe. The weaaness oi me international issues following on the heels of yesterday's foreign selling was nf lutvantasre to those o Derating for a lower range of prices. Among the issues Usted abroad Louisville & Nashville was esoecially weak, falling to 47, the lowest or the week. St. Paul, another foreign favorite, receded per cent, to Omaha common, however, scored the e-reatest loss in tne railway group, declining 1 to 64 on the execution of stOD orders. New Torn uentrai soia down a point on rumors that the mat' ter of refunding the high interest-pay ing bonds will not be taken up for some time. In the Industrial group Sugar was weak, and especially near the close on Washington rumors that tne new sugar schedule will call for a high spe cific duty with a decreased differential. Chicago Gas. Leatner preierrea, ana General Electric were all a shade lower, but the trading was light, jersey cen tral was the feature of the Anthracite Coalers, the stocks falling 1 to 93 on the unfavorable January statement. net earnings for that period having de creased $95,300, as compared with 1896. The other Anthracites presented little, if any, change. An expansion in loans of $4,452,100 was attributed in a meas ure to the increased activity or tne stock exchange. Specie Increased Sl. 120,800, but there was a loss In legal tenders of 12,161,900. The deposit line increased $3,691,800.

Ac tive stocks lost 1 per cent., while St. Paul and Omaha preferred 2 per cent. Transactions were light, amount ing to 73.700 shares.
