ll,!il&.t)23 says: "The cash

banks last week was largely affected by the subtreasury operation, a.-? well a3 the interior movement of money. The extraordinary operations of the subtreasury consisted of the payments for llCLIn) new poM on assay oflice checks, representing t'omestlc bullion and deposits at Pacilic coast points, and the disbursement of $.'1$,fye for bonds and of S'J'13,00J for pension?. Thea. items make a total of $2.7&;,7. The subtreasury received from the banks 51.S30,l for transfer to the interior, leaving $:13,7.) net pain to the banks on extraordinary operations, llcceipts by the subtreasury for customs, internal revenue and other Item. were $ls,ll-.W, while the disbursements to the banks for ordinary purposes were $1 lAtf.'Jn1, Ieaing an excess of receipts over payments by the subtreasurj' of $4,C23,7. The banks shipped directly to the interior, chiefly to Chicago, &VJ'.!.kiU, exclusive of transfers which are included in the above -statement, and the banks received from tlv Interior $!.3;TOo. having as the r.et loss to the banks on this direct movement Jl.tf'o'.r)"". Addins the net loss to the banks of $.'!,710,rj on subtreasury operations, both ordinary and extraordinary, makes the total loss of cash by the banks for the week SÖ.311.00U. The bank returns khowed a loss of $Ö,2C5,1C0 in cash. "The loans were expanded by $7.313,200. Thero was a decrease of $27,7uu in deposits, whereas there should have been shown an Increase of $1,11MX). The circulation gained Jl.lD,M and the loss la surplus reserve was $iJ.22S.17r. leaving this item at $11.019.92.". "There was ood evidence early last week that some of the $4. U"0. H cash which had been sent to Philadelphia late in the preious week had been returned to this city, liow much or th's money came back, however, it is ditficult to estimate, but to the extent that it was returned the condition of banks as regards cash was improved. It will be observed that the drain of money Into the treasury from the banks for customs and internal revenue was quite large list week, and this movement may continue important in the near future. In men a case a concurrent movement to the Interior for crop purposes would very son seriously reduce the surplus reserves. It Is true that the assistant treasurer has been given authority to buy bonds to liberal amounts should they be offered, but. judging from the comparatively small tenders of bonds which were made last week, relief to the market through bond purchases, should relief ho nee!e.. vill le quite Ineffecthe. Any material advance in rates for morify as the result of tense conditions would L almost certain tr cause such a fall in foreign exchnriire rates as to bring gold from F.urooe. This would afford far more effective relief to the market than any ether available method."

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal : I notice an article in the Journal of Aug. 20 by Mr. Gurley Brewer In which he scores the Rev. Blackshear for words used in his letter to the chairman of the Republican committee of this city. I will acknowledge that we have been In this country since 1619, much longer than he speaks of. We have a Hag and have had one since the battle of Bunker Hill, as is stated by Mr. Brewer. Why are we spoken of at any time as a separate people? There are but few negroes in this country to-day that do not realize that this is their country, as much so as the white man's, but they are not allowed to enjoy the freedom thereof. Two hundred and eighty-one years he has been la this country; two hundred and forty-five of these years were spent in slavery; thirty-six years the negro has been spoken of as a free man; and if any race has made the progress that the negroes has in the same length of time, history gives no record of it. They have proved worthy as citizens. It has been said that the inability of the negro was the cause of so many things being inaccessible to him. That I deny. We need no help to do our duty toward our country. All we ask is the opportunity that is denied us. Mr. Blackshear merely sjoke his mind as a man who has more than nineteen ounces of gray matter, and he also spoke the mind of millions of the most depreciated race upon this mundane sphere. The white men of both parties will "dope'' a "coon." as we are called, on stumpwater "booze" and Wheeling stogies, with a promise of political soup, but ater the election there is "nothing doing." Mr. Brewer would have been great during the reign of Charles I of England, telling the people that the King could do no wrong Republican party). They make a man of you in words and an inferior being by deed. Therefore the quicker the negro learns to think and act for himself, as the Rev. Mr. Blackshear did, the quicker we will be looked upon as a race of men worthy of being a component part of a great Nation. HENRY BRACKEN. Indianapolis. Aug. 31. Care of Rubber Tire. A recent article In the Motor Car Journal says light and chango of temperature are the two great enemies of rubber. Bright light acts chemically on rubber and hardens it. taking away all its elasticity. It is the blue and violet rays of the solar spectrum which attack rubber, the red rays having no action on it. Rubber tires exposed to light in a show window after a time become hard and brittle like wood. Variations of temperature cause an infinity of little slits In rubber tires; thee grow larger day by day until the inner fabric is reached, when the tire becomes u.-e!ess. The writer, therefore, advises the keeping of spare tires in a dark place of even temperature. Moisture should be avoided, too. for. while it has no effect upon the rubber itself, it has upon the inner fabric, which rots and weakens. Inner tubes should be laid rlat to avoid folds.

Most of the wholesale merchants and commission men say that the business of the last week in August left no room for complaint, being equal in volume to the

third week, which was the largest of any week of the year 1301. and the steady tone to prices and in many lines a high range of prices added to the excellent results. To pay that trade in August was the most satisfactory in years is no exaggeration, and the month closed with very promising outlook for the business in September. The dry goods market, is showing a good deal of activity and prices on bleached sheetings and prints are very firm at the revision of Friday. The millinery houses are enjoying very good trade, it setting In earlier than usual. Druggists are quite busy. Linseed oils are weak at quotations, as are most articles in the paint line. Wholesale grocers report their business as highly satisfactory. Sugars have taken on a steadier tone. Coffees are unchanged, but roasted grades have an easier tone as to prices, on certain descriptions. Canned goods continue firm in tone. Prices on sardines and other canned fish have an advancing tendencj'. There is a much stronger feeling in dried and evaporated fruits. On Commission row tomatoes are a shade firmer, some choice stock selling at 51 per bushel, but Ü0 cents per bushel will cover 75 per cent, of the receipts. Potatoes, although unchanged, are tending lower In price. Watermelons are a drug on the market and peaches, unless choice, are moving slowly. Other fruit is in good supply at much the same range of prices as ruled during the week. The produce market is easing off as to prices end the coming week will doubtless show a break in the market on eggs and butter, which are increasing in receipts. Young chickens, if in good condition, are active. The hide market continues dull and prices practically the same as for some days past. The leather market is quite active and prices are steady, the advancing tendency having, for the time being, passed over. Provisions are active and prices are advancing in tendency. The local grain market, on Saturday, showed more strength than on any day of the week and for the time being a check on the downward course seems to have struck the market.

THE LI YE STOCK MARKETS

AN IXlSlALbY SATISFACTORY AVKKK FOR CATTLU SALES3IEX.

Average Gain of Forty Crita In Ifopr Saturdiiy, ShoninK Illg-hcnt l'lgure in Seven Years.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 31. Cattle Receipts, 323; shipments small. The receipts of cattle this wetk were smaller, showing a decrease of about S) compared with last week, but there is an increase of over l.OoO compared with the same week a year ago and 2,000 compared with the corresponding week two years ago. The receipts thus far this year show a gain of nearly 41,000 compared with the same period last year. In more ways than one the market this week has been different from last week, and, in fact, several weeks preceding. The marketing has been of smaller volume. The quality in certain lines was improved, and there was probably an increase in the demand from all sources for all kinds. The conditions were more favorable to the seller than they have been for several weeks. The supply of fat cattle at no time was equal to the demand, and strung competition caused some unevenness in values, but there was a steady upward movement, and at the close of the week the better class of" steers were generally considered 25$10c higher than the close of last week, and occasional sales were no doubt 50c above the market for equal kinds at that time. Female stock did not show quite as much improvement as steers, but the better grades sold probably 15fj25c higher than at the beginning of this week. It took several days for salesmen to pull the common to medium cattle out of the deep rut that they have been in for several weeks, but they finally succeeded in placing prices on a higher level, the advance being variously estimated at lo25c. The clearance was better than it has been for a long time, and with a very healthy condition existing the market for the week closed with the pens practically deserted. There was an absence of strictly top export steers, but sales were reported as high as $5.5, and grass-fed Texans sold as high as $3.U. Pixport heifers sold as high as $5.10, steers and heifers mixed as high as $5.25, and there were no cows reported above $4.4o. More than an ordinary supply of cattle was received to-day, and with a steady demand a good clearance was made at quotably steady prices compared with yesterday, tjuotatlons: Extra prime steers, 1,250 lbs and upwards $5.75'? 6.00 Good export steers. 1.350 to 1,450 lbs 5. 40ft: 6.75 Good to choice 1,200 to L300-lb

Combined receipts of hogs this week exhibit

a decrease of fully H.5oo compared with last week, little change compared with the same week a year ago and a decrease of 7.i compared with the coresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year thfre is a gidn of nearly VM-iO compared with th same period last year. To salesmen and owners this has been an uncommonly atisfactory week in the hog market. There has been a gradual upward movem?nl in values and with one exception the position at the cioso of the week is the highest in nearly eight year. Once in 14 hogs sold as high as they did this week and the next highest time preccilng that was Oct. 17, 1S!3. when heavy hogs sold up to S-5.K5. The conditions could not have been more favorable for the advan e. There was quite a falling off in the receipts and the scarcity of choice hoss in tho Fast caused many orders to be turned this way, and tho result was the

most active shipping demand that there probably has been heretofore this season. Packers have followed the upward movement in prices reluctantly, but toward the close of the week they were becoming more reconciled to the situation and were strong competitors. Quite a number of go.d hoes were marketed and the quality generally seemed to be satisfactory, but hardly up to the high standard set last week. Th record shows that on Monday the market was quotably 5c higher, on Tuesday they were 15c above the close of lc.Pt week; on Wednesday there was a further gain of 5c, and on Thursday there was another advance of 5c. On Friday most of the hogs sold 10c higher, followed by a further advance of 5iil0c at the extreme close of the week when the average was about 4 V higher than the close of last week. It is due to shippers to say that they were the main support of the market, but no doubt packers would have been more liberal buyers with larpe supplies. The receipts to-day were little different from a week ago and about 1,000 smaller than a year ago. The market opened with a continued strong demand from order men and with packers showing probably a better disposition than at anj time heretofore this week, competition was unusually strong and the result was a gain of 5 10c in values over yesterday. The early supply was soon exhausted at opening prices and a few loads that arrived very late were taken promptly by packers at firm prices compared with the way equal kinds sold in the morning. Sales ranged from $6.25'? C.75, and a small proportion of the supply sold below $0.45. Quotations: Good to choice medium and

ending to-day show little change compared with last week and an increase of nearly l,r.i0 over the same wet-k a year atro, and 1.2O0 over the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year the- receipts are over 30.o"0 larger than the same period last year. There was very little change in conditions or prices the first half of the week, but with continued light supplies and an Increased demand the trading was active toward the close of the week and there was u gain of about 25 cents in values. Local butchers were not very much In evidence In the market, but there was more competition on shipping account and there is no doubt that larger supplies could have been sold at firm prices. The receipts were characterized by the scarcity of choice stock, and few extreme prices were reported on that account, but lambs sold as high as $4.!0 and old sheep as high as $3.50. The receipts to-day were r.s large as expected at this time in the week, and all sold early at steady prices compared with

yesterday, ordinary to good Iambs brought
