In time we shall have a footnote to every bill of fare stating the composition snd nutritive value of each article. Then we shall be able to eat with our eyes oin.

DANK STATEMENT HAD A STIM PLATING fciFFlX'T AT SEW YORK. Industrial Specialties Were the Features in Saturday's Transactions on 'Change Local Trade Improving, At New Ycrk, Saturday, money on call was steady at 44Vi P'T cent., the last loan being made at 4 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, SVifrlUSterling exchange was weak, with actual business In bankers' bills at H.KUG for demand, and at J4.M1;4.S4Vi for sixty days. Posted rates, U.W.z and $4.87Vfe. Commercial bills, JI.SCtt4.S4. Silver certificates, GOftGuVgc; bar silver, Zimc; Mexican dollars, 47"9c. At London bar silver cicsed at 27 7-1$ an ounce. The exports of specie from New York for the week were $C75,35, of which were gold and $044,497 silver. The imports were $24,257, of which Ji.LV) were gold and S16.&7 silver. The New Y rk weekly bank statement shows the following changts: Surplus reserve, increase... leoans, decrease .1 44.452, TOO . l.yis,7 . t",lvi.4'-"J l'J.4") excess of Specie, increase lepjal tenders, increase Deposits, decrease Circulation, Increase The banks now hold J19.742.479 179 in the requirements. The financier says: "For the first tlm since Jan. 23 last the weekly statement of the New York clearing bouse banks shows an Increase In surplus reserves, the gain for the seven days ending with April 15 having been almost four and one-half millions. Tho highesi point attained in the matter of execs during the current year was on the lirst date, named, when the surplus was $,2J2.025, as against $19,471,523 now. But the Interim has been marked by an expansion of $42,.). in loans and $27.Cm.00 in deposits. In addition to the Increased reserve requirements, dun to enlarged deposit liabilities, the banks have lost rather heavily to the interior. Now tnat this movement is at an end and loans are showing a decreasing tendency, the normal result favors a rising percentage of average reserves and a correspondingly easy money market. In addition to the causes named the payment of the Philippine indemnity will have the effect of temporarily adding to the surplus cash In bank, since the payment as contemplated at present involves a transfer of th cash to the banks in purchase of exchange, the only oftset being the million dollars weekly which the treasury proposes to call from public depositories. It will be seen that every factor is operating to strengthen the position of the New York institutions. Of the changos in the current ttatement the most important ii the contraction of $10,52.3.0 in loans, iue in part to the heavy liquiuation ol ti;e ia t ten clays, and to operations incident to the financing of several heavy transactions. The loan contraction ha had the natural eltevit cf reducing deposit Uaoilitif . an l the dc-re?fe of $6,4S6,400 is to be thus lecounted for. This shrinkage reduced the reserve tequirements by $l,621,G0o, and as th 'ain in oash was $2.831.1H the actual re-..e is $4,452,700 heavier than for the previous weK. WM o, as stated, everything favors an easy prospect for funds, it is not to be inferred that the market will be the borrower, since the institutions are exercising considerable caution in advancing money on industrials, although, as a matter of fact, this is not the result of a sudden determination, but rather the enforcing of a policy which to a greater or less extent has been operative for sorte time." SATURDAY'S STOCK MARKET. The total sales of stocks at New York Saturday amounted to 510.2T0 shares, including American Steel and Wire, 7,4Xf); American Sugar, 4,000; Atchison preferred, 11,900; Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. 9,300; Brooklyn Rapid Transit, 74,400; Brooklyn Transit, rights, 20,900; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, 6,200; Colorado Fuei and Iron, 23,700; Continental Tobacco, S4.400; Continental Tobacco preferred, 3.0u0; Delaware & Hudfron. y,4o0; Federal Steel, KVi; K.

The Industrial specialties were very strong at New York Saturday, and the rising tendency, particularly after the eppe&rance of the bank statement, extended throughout the list with the coalers prominent in the market's late strength. Money continued easy and the bank statement, with an increase of nearly $4.500."0 in cash and a contraction of over $10,000,000 in loans, had a very stimulating effect. Large realizations, however, were noted by speculators who had bought in expectation of a favorable statement. Tho favorable turn of the Samoan difficulty and the weekly state ments of trade which noted a general condition of prosperity were factors in rearousing confidence. Spots of especial strength were Delaware & Hudson, Colorado Fuel and Iron, Brooklyn Rapid Transit. People's Gas and Continental Tobacco. Just before the close the professional element started a raid on the idea that the recent recovery had been too rapid, but they rueceeded in making only a slight impression on values. REVIEW OF THE WEEK. Stocks were somewhat Irregular early last week, but gradually recuperated, thus dispelling the uneasiness engendered by the industrial smash last week. Brooklyn Rapid Transit, which was most prominent in the recent decline, again reached Its best previous price. The railways moved within a comparatively narrow rarge, wavering In sympathy with various crop advices. The government crop report was regarded as less unfavorable than expected. Railway returns were generaUy favorable and the increased activity in the industrial world, it was thought, would continue to benefit railway traffic. The continued keen demand for the finished products of Iron was responsible for;marked strength in the iron and steel shares. Call money was decidedly easier, averaging li taints below the previous week's rates, and tho banks were disposed to be far more liberal In accepting Industrial collateral for loan since many weak holdings were forced out last weeje. A number of very large financial dealings were consummated without disturbing tho money market while some discrimination, particularly by foreign bankers against industrial collateral was still noticed, such Industrials as complied with the Stock Exchange requirement of statements in order to be listed were then treated more leniently. The easier money conditions were especially bnefleinl to highly manipulative stocks, which are largely held on margin. The traction and gas shares of Greater New York were very prominent in the week's dealings on many consolidation stories, varving onlv In scope. There were advances of over H po!nts in Brooklyn Rapid Transit. 8 in Brooklyn Union Gas. Consolidated Gas, 5; Manhattan, lli; Third-avenue, 4Vj. and Metropolitan. 2a. Notable advances amon? other specialties were Sugar, i1: Colorado Fuel and Iron, 71: Continental Tobacco, 9s; :' American Tobacco. 5; Federal Steel. 5?i. and People s Gas Strong features among the railways were the Vanderbilts. the Southwestern group, especially Mobile & Ohio. Missouri Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio. "Tips" are very abundant in the present market and because of the large public Interest displayed, these predictions of trust movements in particular stocks are more generally realized than of recent years, where there was a more restricted speculative interest. Optimistic utterances bv market leaders have been frequently verified by events because of the public contldence resulting from a long bull movement. While the banks gained In cash, it is announced that the government will withdraw S!0.h) from the depository banks in million dollar weekly payments. An active and variable money market will be expected, owing to the recurrent financing of industrial combinations, but, for the present, stringency is not looked for by authorities. The speculative activity of last week was largely away from the standard shares of known value, and centered in specialties whose price. Judging from present returns, seemed to discount future developments. A moderate inquiry, prevailed for prime mortgages during: the week and there was also a large absorption of the semi-speculative grades. Prices, in the main, improved, but the general movement was hesitating at times. In accordance with the characteristics of the stock market. United States threes, coupon, advanced H.

VleTr of Dnnker Cletrn. Henry Clews, the New York banker, in reviewing the situation In Wall street last week, says: "The notable rise in prices of stocks since the opening of January and the persistent maintenance of the advance, with only temporary reactions, is neither more nor less than an adjustment of prices to the lower rate of Interest. A new basis Of values has thus been created, and although reactions may arise from a variety of causes any permanent return to the former lower level of prices is not to be regarded as among the probabilities of the future. This, then, is the position of the market in prospect of the ease in money and the generally healthy conditions which may be expected to prevail for the next few months. The crop prospects are watched with much interest as bearing on the court.? of the market for the next four months. As yet, however, the probabilities as to the next harvest are too indefinite to have much influence in Wall street. So far as respects the winter-wheat crop, the outlook at tho moment is somewhat unfavorable, one authority of some standing having interpreted tho government April report as meaning a crop of about 50.C00,Ot0 bushels less than that of last year. This symptom is no more than might be expected from the severe winter and the cold and wet opening of tne spring. There is, however, ample time for an Improvement In tho weather, which would materially increase the output, especially as the acreage la estimated to exceed that of last year by about 12 per cent. Besides, there is every probability that in the event of a probable decrease in the winter-sown crop, the area of spring wheat would be increased. We arc, however, making comparison with a year of an unpreceder.tly large wheat crop, so that, even should the output show a decrease compared with 1MS. it would probably Ftlll exceed that of any year previous to 1X'J. As conditions now stand, therefore, there is a fair prospect of another agricultural year of great abundance, with continued large earnings for the railroads, largo exports of food products and tho continuance of an important excess of exports, except so far as it may possibly be limited by an increase of imports consequent upon the growing prosperity of the country. "Under these general conditions it is not easy to find any bear elements in the Wallstreet situation as it now stands. Rather, the position faors the prospect of a .strong market and a bullish tendency in speculation until the fall months. Beyond that period, however, there are monetary possibilities which will need to be watched. There are very evident symptoms that the supply of circulation is falling short of the requirements of our largely increased business. It is true, thrro has been an increase of the money in actual circulation, the amount having risen from $l,756.UuO,uCO on April 1, P38, to $1,'j27.soo,m) on the 1st of this month a gain of $171,S0t).( but of this Increase $112,700,01) has consisted of gold, which is almost entirely unavailable for active use in trade, so that we may say the increase in tho forms of money available for retail transactions ia only about ?t.uoO,J within the lasf twelve months. This increase in the active circulation, outside of 'gold, is at the rate of 3.4 per cent., while the Increase in the transactions of the clearing houses of the country was 4.8 per cent, within the same period, which shows an amazing disparity between the expansion of tho active circulation and that of the general trade of the country as expressed In our banking operations. There items to be no hope of the demand for more currency being met through an increase of note issues by the national banks, for during the first quarter of the current year the banks withdrew over $n.0LO.t-.iO of bonds deposited for circulation. The only existing way through which this want can be met U by the treasury returning to the issue of gold certificates, which would have the effect of giving circulation to a considerable sum of now idle gold. These facts demonstrate the necessity lor Congress taking up the currency situation as one of the first measures after its assembling. "The money situation will be materially Improved next week by the payment of the $20.Gu0,0ik peace-treaty money to the Spanish government, as it will come direct from the New Y'ork subtreasury into the New York city banks, and it is now quite certain that bins of exchange will be remitted In place of forwarding the gold, it being cheaper to do so. It is reported from Wasmngton that the secretary will recoup the treasury gradually from th government funds in the national depository banks at the rate of jl.my.i a week. The banks will therefore gain $1?.0,0') bv the operation, as they will receive Ett.00o.0u6 and only pay out $1,000,000 rext week." Sntnrdny'n Bank Clearing.

LOCAL GRAIN AND TllODtCE. A Good Week. Trade, with Strong Prices the Feature. Trade In the week ending April 15 reached a very satisfactory volume. Prices had a very firm tone and while not unreasonably high, they were to much advanced that the wholesale merchants were able to realize some margin on sales.

Julien Hawthorne, m North American Review. You may fancy that it is a privilege to your boy to have you for a father, but it Is at least as much a privilege to you to have him for a son, provided you are a father to him. and not a mere idle and vicious appendage. And that sort of appendage is precisely what a large percentage of American fathers are. It does not mend matters to say that vou are fond of your children, and. In proof of it. to paw them and kiss them, give them toys and candy, picture books, circus tickets, skates and bicycles, or to scold them violently and unjustly when they happen to get upon your nerves or in vour way. An 'pe can slobbtr over its offspring and give It nuts or cuff It, as whim may dictate. Selfishness is at the -ottom of our failure to give proper attention to our children; it is seltishntss all the way through. We want the fun of having children, without incurring the liabilities. We want to have them around us when we are in tho humor, and to have them look nice and display all suitable merits and accomplishments, but we do not wish to be bothered with the task of inculcating the same; that we devolve upon the public school. W would not allow our most confidential clerk to engineer a critical deal for us in the market or on 'Change, but we have no hesitation in permitting a school teacher, to us unknown, underpaid, tired to death, averse from her or his occupation probably, and sometimes incompetent, to determine the lines upon which our flesh and blood, with his Immortal soul, is to tiike his departure in life lines whose direction and grading will practically settle his future. Hat lis in Schools. Chicago News. One Chlcaco school Is soon to be equipped with baths for the children. At the meeting of the Board of Education yesterday it was decided to have two tubs placed in an addition that is to be attached to the Prescott school, and if this experiment proves sue-ces-tul, as it doubtless will, other school buidirgs will be provided with baths in tho near tuture Some of the members of the board were Inclined to view the proposition with disgust; and others seemed to regard it as something to laugh at, but a majority of them treated the matter seriously. Trustee Downey, for instance, was shocked at the thought of having children washed In school. When ho went to school, he sa d, he washed himself. Of course, his word w.ll have to be taken in this case, but if he had the schoolboy instinct it is pretty safe to say that he washed himself only when somebody held his nose down to the basin. There are districts in Chicago where compulsory cleanliness will unquestionably serve to promote general healthfulness and make public schools at least tolerable places for tho congregation of children, fne School Board deserves credit for the step it has just taken toward the front.

Wheat started quiet but flm at unchanged prices. Early crop news was of a puzzling mixture, but later in the day the reports became worse than ever, while the 1 dry weather was suggestive of still more damage. A private cablegram from Berlin indicated a possibility of Russia prohibiting exportj of grain on account of famine. This announcement, together with the depressing character of the home crop information, imparted some courage to buyers, and for a time the market exnibited an upward tendency. Chicago received twenty-seven cars, three of which graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth got ISi cars, compared with L fcr the corresponding day a year ago. Atlantic port clearances were equal in wheat and flour to n,0 bushels, l'rimary Western market receipts were 25. uO bushels, againt CXO bushels last year. World's shipments to Europe for the week were estimated at 6,J,00O bushels. The pressure to sell May wheat became quite urgent at times and the early strength gradually disappeared.

Light receipts and a good shipping demand strengthened corn. There was a slight dip early on selling by elevator concerns, but country buying started a rally, and tha loss was more than recovered. Receipts were 135 cars. May started a shade higher at 24c, eased off to 34-Q31?c, rallied to 34T;c and closed at 314 ' 340. Buving by elevator people and cash sales steadied oats. Receipts, 1Z cars.
