The most noticeable font urn of the state
ments of the national banks of Omaha nnd
South Omaha , Just published , Is the largo
increase In the proportion of cash moans to
dcxslts. | Iho banks , In other words , hnvo
moro cash on hnnd In proportion to the deposits -
posits with xxhlch to meet the demands of
depositors than they nld nt the tlmo
of the last statement. On May 4 ,
the tlmo when the last statement
xxns made , the banks of the txvo cities
had about II per cent of their deposits In
cash means. Since that tlmo there has been
a pn\n \ In this respect until now the cash
means nru much laruer In proportion to the
tlcposlts The national banking law requires
banks in icscrvo cities , like Onmha , to have
! ! . " > per cent of cash moans and other cities 15
per cent. The Omaha Innkers forcsaxv the
coming of n money stringency , and com
menced to "prep ire for It in tlmo by Increas
ing their cash means until they now have
double the amount required by laxv.
\Vhllo the percentage of the cash moans of
the banks has been incicased the deposits
have naturally enough decreased , owing to
tbo scarcity of money. A careful examina
tion of the statements will bring out nn in
teresting fact in connection with the decrease -
crease in the deposits. All of the banks
cnrr.y moro or less deposits of country banks ,
and ns the country binks haxo needed the
money at homo they have reduced their de
posits in the Omaha banks. This causes
quite : t decrease In the total deposits in the
Omaha national banks , and the decrease Is
due almost entirely to this ono cause.
Imlhldu.il deposits hnvo fallen off very
little ; In fact , ono b ink shows a gain in this
p.titiculnr. This is considered qulto re
markable , as It xvas generally supposed that
the dullness of trade and slow collections
xxould force business men to reduce their
suiplus in the banks to a laigo extent. That
thej' haxc not done so to a much greater ex
tent than shown by the bank statements
xxould seem to inatcato th it business Is not
in such bad shape after all.
Another feature of the bank statements Is
the i eduction in loans and discounts.
In order to provide fgr an emer
gency , the banks haxo boon cutting
down their loans and discounts nnd
In this wny Increasing the amount of cash
on hand , which xxould bo axallablo in case of
a sudden demand. While this has been
rather hard on borrowers , It has enabled the
banks of Omaha to make n most satisfactory
shoxxlng , and ono that business men say xxill
go a long xvny toxvard increasing public conll-
donco In their stability. A banker said yes
terday that It xvns an ngiccablo surprise to
note the case with which borroxxcis are
liquidating their obligations.

CIIHHOO , July 18 Ex-Comptroller Licy ,
president of the National Banking associa
tion , said today : "Aside from the recent
bank failures in Kansas City and Dourer
and their effect upon the region tributary to
these cities , the countrj' seems to bo recov
ering from the iccont severe stringency
which has prevailed for the past thteo
months. It is probiblo that the disturb
ances at Denxor are the outcroxvth of the
recent sllx'or agitation nnd the consequent
depression in related industries. Want of
confidence , resulting from an unusual num
ber of failures , has boon the chief cause of
the recent disasters xxhleh the public press
has been called upon to record. It is xxoll
to rcmombor , , hoxxoxer , th.it the number of
bank f dimes alluded to has borne a xery
small proportion to the total number of insti
tutions doing business in the United States.
IIcio nnd thcro unsound institutions haxo
developed and failures haxo resulted , but
tlio gi eat bodj-of the banks of this country
possess an abundance of sound assets and
xx ill bo found amply able to moot all calls
made on them.
"Depositors In banks who are so unxxlso ns
to niako demands for funds xx hich they do
not need simply aggravate the existing
conditions , and unnecessarily embarrass
the imlusttlcs , upon which nil alike
are dependent for livelihood. An epidemic
of distrust has oxerrun nearly the entire
country and these later cases nro simply
the last outbreak xvhich precedes the return
turn of healthful conditions. It is fortU'
nato that the demonstration at Kansas
City has been delajed until the harvests
aio xxell under xvay , as the marketing of tha
Immense crops of the Mississippi valley will
speedily replenish the drain upon the banks
by this senseless sc ire , and wo shall soon see
those in the Interior strengthened bj' the
pijment of iniituimg paper.
"As these local institutions loplcnish their
cash , U xvlll ovorlloxv into the rosoivo cities
and so tbo xvholo banking sjstoni xxill bo re
stored , nnd the normal condition of strength
and bank accommodations to these engaged
in loeltimato cnterpiisos xvill again cxeu a
healthy stimulus.
"Tho meeting of congress Is near nt hand
and thai o scorns to be no reasonable doubt of
the speedy repeal of the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. The importa
tion of gold has already sot In and xvill un
doubtedly Incicaso as the effect of the
alreadv largo exportation of teieals pro
etuccs its legitimate lesults.
"Tho Now York banks have commenced
rotiiing clearing house certificates and. nro
abundantly able to meet the
demands of legitimate business
and the pinicky condition of the stock
market need not necessarily excite dis
trust. The banks nro dally gaining in
deposits and cash reserve , and this is
also ttuo of most of the roscrx'a centers
in the inteilor. The recuperative pow
ers of the couutiy are now aotix-oly
employed and in ull probability will , In the
near futuio , restore noim.il conditions.
What Is needed Is the oxeiciso of cnro and
sound Judgment upon tbo part of ovorv lead' '
ing eiti/en in the land , r.illuros xvill inevitably
ovitably occur , oxen though xvo speedily
rcali/o our highest expectations in the way
of reuoxvcd confidence. "

the final of the singles xxcrd there again to
see the flnish. and the chairs along the xvost
suTo of the court xxero again all but lllled.
Culllnghnm and Denlso entered thocoutt
soon after 0:15 : , the lime that had boon
agreed upon. From the vorj' outset il xvas
ex Id out that each man meant business.
Denise had the service and following' his
flrsl ball up to the not volleyed Iho return ,
nnd after a lonj rally finally xxon
the Point. This xvas n good start and ho
xx Isoly stuck to the stmo kind of play to
the end of the sot , Culllnghnm xvns
kept on Iho defensive all the tlmo. Oc
casionally ho had a chinco to got pist
Donlso on ono side or the other , and occasion
ally Denlso xx-ould make a false play : his
racket xvould turn In his hand and the bill
fall into the not or in attempting to teturn a
lob , nnd Cullingham senl him plenixho
xxould dilvo It ox or the side line or out at the
vu vit . IJul Cullingham never raptured a
game , though In the second ho scored no
fewer than nlno points.
Homo Very Pretty Tamils.
As the score gradually grow In Donlso's
'avor ' , the lookers-on became moro and moro
engiossod in the play a-ad toxvard Ihe end of
, ho sot his every point xxas cheered. The
climax cnmo xx hen ho had taken six games
running nnd scored a love sot. This put him
ono game ahead of his elder and moro ox-
> oi loncod opponent , and there seemed no
; ensou xvhy ho should not pull off thu match.
: lo had made a grand effort , nox-or falling off :
for nn instant in his assiduity to return , and
oturn xvith Interest , every ball that came to
lim.
lim.Tho
The closeness of the score put ex-cry ouo
on the tlptoo of excitement as Iho Uf th not
commenced. Denise started xvith a well
ddgod service , skimming nicely over the
not , and ran ui > after it. Ho scored the llr.it
joint , as before , but Cullingham xvas noxv on
uls mottle and gave him feu or opportunities.
"Tvvo-lovo , Cullingham leads , " xvas soon
called , and Cullinghnm seemed lo be
xx inning. Uul Denise inad o r. spurt and
caught up. Then Denise lostrhls service and
lost the next came , xvhon his
score xxas ! iO , on a disputed ball.
Four games to txvo xvas a good
j lead , but Denlso xvas not beaten yet. Ho
made , an oxcolloiH light for the sex-en th game
and , xx on it , but failed at a crucial point in
the , eighth. The 'vantage xvas against him
when ho ended n beautiful ralljby dropping
the ball stioit into Iho not. Ono game xvas
all that Culllngham , now xvanted to xxin.
Denise hud the seix-eo and xxlth a little
moro coolness might have saxed himself
f loin defeat. Hut nerve is not alxxaya on lap
xx hen most in requisition and Cullingham
got to 40 0 and ran'outi to 40-15.
It had been a hard fought game , nnd thoio
was little to choose between Iho men.
Dcmso's defeat xxits duo as much lo his oxxn
failuto al crucial points in tbo game as to
his opponent's superior skill. But Culling
ham had a majority of txxo games on the
match und , oven without his handicap which
counted ono point in each of the forty-two
games plajed , he piobably had a majorily of
points.
1'rrtty I'luy II ) tlio Double * .
Fosbonnor and "L iXYrenco came out on
the right side in thclcicontest xvith Bowman
and Haskell. This game was not much
-itched , for it xxas played xvhen the more
exciting singles . .mutch xvas going on
in the other Ycaurt.i' Still there xvas
some piotly play .tfhofb. Fosbonuer on
his side und Bowman on the ether stuck
close to the not , except , xvhen serving , and
there xxas consequently some very quick
volleying. The winners xvon as much bj-
quickness and diligence us anything. Their
score xvas (5-1. ( 5-7 , G-2.
Just before this game xvas over Denise and
Wilbur made a bolu start against MeKell
andBroxxn In the court in xvhich Culllng
hnm had just xvon the first pri/o in tbo
singles. Denlso seemed none the xxorso for
his hura xxork and was anxious for the fray.
Ho and Wilbur had taken ono set in easy
slylo , at the score of six games to ono , xvhon
It xvas agreed to put off the finish until
tonight , xx lion it is hoped thai Iho llnul xvill
also bo played.
