NEW YOKK. Sept. 25. ( Special. ) Henrj
Clews of tbc banking house ot Clews & Co
says :
The past week has been marked by con
tlnucd dullness nnd seine Irregularity tt
prices. "Hear" operators have availed them
Bclves of the fact that , though the mone ;
market Is In a pubstnntlally sound position
yet the further decline of three millions li
surplus reserve shown In the last banl
statement evidenced that the run toward
case had not yet arrived ; and this Infcrcnc
, ha been confirmed by an advance In thi
rate of Interest on call loans. This en
couragcd attack upon certain Industrials
with some effect ; but , upon the more stabl
securities , prices have been on the wholi
fairly maintained nnd the week closes will
a more , hopeful feeling.
The money market has reached a poln
at which a turn towards ease can be but i
matter of n few more days. Each day o
the week the subtrcanury has been a larg <
debtor at the clearing house ; nnd the nraoun
of money sent to the Interior hau been quit' '
nominal. The great factor portending case
however , has been the activity of the goli
movement from Europe. Up to the clos
of yesterday the foreign engagements fo
the shipment of gold to New York aggro
Bated close upon $14,000,000. Ily the end o
next wrek the whole of that sum will hnv
found Its way Into the city banks ; nnd th
largo supply of export bills corning forwnri
Indicates further large Importations of th
metal. London feels the loss of sped
rather acutely and there are reports that th
Hank of England , In addition to Thurs
day's advance In the rate of interest to
per cent , may resort to borrowing gold 01
1. I consols ; but the drain Is not likely to b
checked much until the imports of gold her
have depressed the local rate of Interes
below that of London , when relief may com
from New York buying sterling bills fo
transient investment. That source of relic
to London Is not likely to be forthcomlnp
however , until a considerable further amoun
of gold has been sent hither and the rat
for money further enhanced in London.

known that the secretary of the treasur
stands ready to anticipate his Interest pay

on the old 4 per cent loan , amountln
to $ jr > 'jGl68. The November payments nr
also likely to be anticipated If there is an
need. Interest then becomes due on $102 ,
315,400 in new 4 per cent bonds , on $100 ,

the whole of the new 3 per cent loan c

Silver IHNIIC in Western Politic * .
The politicians of that section feel In
polled to take up the old fad In the nbseni
of other policies that would attract publ
Interest. The money conference recent !
held at Omaha showed by tht > coinposltk
of Its attendants and the spirit of its spcal
ors that there Is still enough of the old fri
coinage spirit among the politicians to ket
up a certain amount of agitation , and th
Is unfortunate In view of the distrust whle
the past excitement has created In Europer
Investment circles. It Is well that this fo

this pregnant fact with the empty assertlc

NEW YORK. Sept. 25. The Financl
says :
Whether the actual condition of the N (
York banks nt the close of the week
shown In the current statement Is a matt
of doubt , but the exhibit Is even more favc
able than had been anticipated , so far
percentages of reserves are concerned.
Several factors of importance which d
velopcd within the past few days inlluenc
the totals. The first ot the gold Impoi
have been added to specie account.T
losses to the treasury were very much le
than have been reported of late and t
Interior movement continues light. Iy co
trading their loans the banks have be
able to increase their deposits , there
bringing down the reserve requirements a
apparently adding to the cash on hand ,
this manner the reserve excess was I
creased no lent than $4,012,045 , of whl
$1,193,600 came from a caln In specie a :
legals and $2,628,675 from the lessened
per cent requirement duo to the contrw
tlon of $11,314,300 In deposits. As a rest
ot tlu'EO changes the surplus reserve m
stands at $3,252,875 , which docs not co :
pare as unfavorably with the average I
serve for this season In other years as ralg
bo imagined. The strain on the banks 1
cldent to the settlement of the bond co
tractions Is probably at an end and t
heavy liquidation , which decreased loa
thirty millions during the mouth ot Se
tembcr , will give way to a more modern
adjustment.
It begins to look as though the Ni
York banks will not be called on to a :
extent for crop money. Eighty mllllo

Average price paid for hogs for the last
several days with comparisons :
CATTLE Omaha , had 1,148 head of cauu
which was fair for a Saturday , nnd moi
than both Chicago and Kansas City put to
Bother. The market -was without chnng
and the offerings ' .for the most part wer
cleaned up early In the morning nt nbou
the same prices as prevailed yesterday.
The receipts of cattle this week hav
been liberal , the run being about the sam
as lust week nnd larger than the week be
fore , as will be noted from the figures n
head of column. The market as a whol
was In very satisfactory condition ns re
gards the Eclllng Interests and without an
very marked changes. The demand ha
been active for all kinds of fat cattle , bet
corn fed and grassers having been quote
strong on. most days-and-for the- week coul
safely be called a dlmo higher. Good kind
of feeders ore also strong to lOc higher fo
the week nnd common und medium kind
fully steady. During the middle of the wee
pnckers tried to bear cow stuff a little , bu
the receipts of that kind of cattle were nc
very heavy and besides that there was
pretty fair demand from the feeders , so the
killers were not able to effect much chang
in values. Sellers who have brought 1
cattle this week have Invariably expresae
themselves as well pleased with the condl
tlon of the market nnd it Is safe to say the
there has been no better cattle market , t
the country than this.
HOGS Today's receipts of Iiogs were th
largest of the week nnd the largest of an
day since Friday ot last week. The 1m
provemcnt In prices during tbo last two c
three days has evidently stimulated ship
ments. The total receipts for the week wer
considerably smaller than for the prevlou
week , there being n falling off of 6,700 hen
but at the same time a gain of 3.203 ovc
two weeks ago , as will be noted from th
table at head of column.
The market this morning opened aboi
steady with yesterday's general marke
pcsslbly a little stronger than yesterda
morning but not quite EO good as ycstei
day's close. The enrly market was falrl
active , the hogs selling largely at $3.753.
with a $3.85 top. After about seventy load
had changed hands and It became apparcr
how largo the receipts were buyers flceme
to corno to the conclusion that there wr
no necessity for their paying such stron
prices for hogs to be carried over Sunda ;
Accordingly the market slacked up and fc
a time was very slow and weak with llttl
doing. In the end everything was sold , tli
close being n shade lower than the ear )
market.
The week as n whole hns witnessed a falrl
satisfactory market. There was an advam
on Monday o\er the close of the previov
week , but there was a slight drop on Tues
day. On Thursday the loss was recoverc
and on Friday there was an advance whlc
carried values to the highest point touchr
since Wednesday of the previous weel
The demand was active all the week an
hogs sold freely at prevailing prices.
SHEEP Fresh arrivals were light an
only a few of what there were here wei
for sale. Such as were offered Bold at Jui
about yesterday's prices nnd the market we
without material change In any respect.
The sheep market this week has been 1
very good shape. Arrivals of all kinds ha\
met with ready rale at satisfactory price
Mutton grades bavo remained about stead :
with feeders and stock sheep strong ,
does not seem ns If the country could gi

likelihood of any being found.

Old Vesuvius Is belching forth ngnln , nt-
trading world-wide attention nnd no little
nlnrm among the population of adjacent hills
nnd valleys. Streams of lava are pourltif
down Its sides , burning and burying every
thing on their paths. "The observatory or
the side of Vesuvius hns been of benefit li
predicting some time In advance that nr
eruption was about to take place , " sail
Prof. George W. Hough , director of the
Northwestern University observatory
to a Chicago Times-Herald re >
porter. "Its seismograph has
recorded nil seismic disturbances , showIng -
Ing the direction In which they nre moving
whether horlzontnl or vertical. In fore'
telling eruptions this station has been o
great Importance , as many lives and muct
portable property have been saved.
"Tho scientists nt the station have made i
cpeclalty of the study ot subterranean con
dltlons. Still , little is known of the Interloi
of the earth. No ono has been able to dls
cover the cause of earthquakes or eruptions
With present Instruments eruptions can b <
foretold a short time In advance , but notb/
Ing as to their probable extent can be deter'
mined. In the last 100 years scarcely nny >
thing new has been learned of the oubstrat !
of the earth.
"Astronomically , the earth ought to bi
nearly ao rigid as cast Iron to account foi
Its movements , the variations of latitudi
and the tides. Volcanoes are now though'
to be local pockets of molten matter
Through some undiscovered cause these
masses of liquid fire break forth at uiiex
pected times. They exhibit no regularity
method or system In the intervals or mnn
ner of their nppearance.
"In the present eruption Vesuvius Is no
likely to bo especially destructive. A repetl
tlon of such activity as destroyed Pompel
and Hcrculancum can hardly occur. Tin
reason for this is that it has been acttvi
for a number of years past and has had ai
outlet for Us gases. "
Vesuvius Is the only volcano of which w <
have a tolerably full account for a period o
over 2.000 years. This crater Is situatet
on the shored of the bay of Naples , whlcl
was a summer resort for many of the rlcl
Roman citizens during the early days of thi
empire.
This district enjoyed an undisturbed Iran
qullity down to the year 63 of our era
In that year there began a series of mod
crately severe earthquakes , produced by thi
volcanic gases In their struggle to reopci
their long-closed passages to the crater. li
August , 79 , these earthquakes bccann
more and more violent until they terminate !
In a furious eruption , which resulted In tin
total destruction of the beautiful cities o
Pompeii and Herculnneum.
The eruption began about midday , and li
a short time the whole of the eastern sldi
of the bay wan hidden by a vast cloud o
steam , ashes and dust. Gradually thl :
cloud extended until It brought the darknesi
of night over all the country within twcnt ;
miles of the volcano and extcndei
Its shadow over Africa , Syria am
Egypt. So great was this clout
that the dust and nshes that fell fron
It covered the country for miles nround tt
the depth ot from ten to thirty feet , com
plctely burying the neighboring villages ant
totally blotting out the cities ot Pompel
and Ilcrculaneurn and a Inrgo portion o
their Inhabitants. This outbreak was fol
lowed by a long spell of repose , the nex
eruption , which did little damage , not oc
currlng until the year 203. In 472 there wo :
a third eruption , which was of greaetr vlo
lence , scattering ashes over nearly al
Europe , and so darkening the oky at Con
stantlnople , over SOO miles awny , that thi
emperor , Leo , fled from the city. Anothe
eruption took place In 1036 , and from tha
timeto 1500 there were five eruptions
about ono each century , none of which wen
of great violence.
The eruption of 1631 was , next after tha
of 79 , the most violent explosion whlcl
has taken place from Vesuvius. Like th
first great outbreak it was ushered In by i
series of heavy earthquake shocks , whlcl
finally resulted In an eruption of extrcm
fury. Great streams of lava flowed fror
the sides of the mountains and thence t >
the sea. Then , as now , the shores of tha
country were lined with thickly populatei
towns. Although an outbreak was ex
peeled at any moment any many peopl
escaped , tbo lava came with euch sudden
ness and was so unexpected that at leas
18,000 people lost their lives. The las
eruption ot note from this volcano was li
1794 , when it Is estimated that 46,000,00
cubic feet of lava was upheaved.
After the reader has conceived tbo fore
nnd magnitude ot the Vesuvlan eruption
perhaps he or eho will be surprised whei
the fact Is made known that as a volcan
Vesuvius Is only a third-rater. The famll ;
of Italian volcanoes includes at least thre
which have at some time In their perloi
of activity surpassed Vesuvius' most note
worthy outbreaks.
Etna has at least twenty tiroes the bulk
and In Us time bos destroyed tbo homes ant
lives of 20,000. In 1169 the City ot Catanli
was destroyed by one of Etna's eruptions
and In 1C69 & chasm twelve miles long wa ,

opened In the mountain's flank , from whlcl
flames Issued. During this outbreak it l
said that the mountain yielded at least 05-
000,000 cubic feet of lava. Among the many
extinct volcanoes which line the shores ol
the Day of Naples and the neighboring
states , Brocclano and Bolscna , whoso vosl
craters are now occupied by lakes , are the
largest.
The crater of Bolsena now affords n
basin for a lake havlne an area of about
forty square miles. That of Dracclano la
smaller than Dolsena , but Is much larger
than Vesuvius.
Although the number of European vol
canoes Is hundreds , yet for grandeur and
masslveness they are far exceeded by the
volcanoes ot Iceland and the Malayan
orchtpclaco. The amount of lava that
flowed from Skaptar , Iceland's great volcano ,
in 1783 , was greater than the combined out
put of Vesuvius nnd Etna during their en
tire existence. It Is eald that the mnssj o (
lava which flowed from Skaptar in that year
was greater In bulk than Mount Blanc.
Japan , the area of which has been esti
mated at 155,000 square miles , Is the result
of some gigantic prehistoric volcanic erup
tion. Shnrp earthquakes occur there fre
quently , nnd sometimes as many as twenty
or thirty arc felt in a single day. The
cone of the eacred Pujl-san ( Fuslyama ,
"Fire Goddess mountain" ) , a dormant vol
cano , rises from the sea to the height of
12,365 feet. Asama-yamn , an active volcano ,
Is S.2GO feet above sea level.
The eruption on July 15 , 1888 , of Ban-
dalsan , 6,037 feet high , near Lake Ina-
washlro. was one of the moat peculiar in
the annals of Jnpnn. The place was noted
for Its hot springs and it was a favorite
health resort. On that July day ten yearn
ago the summit ot the mountain belched
fire , smoke , steam and hot water. The ter
rified people had no opportunity to escape ,
Liquid mud came down In torrents and over
whelmed the dwellers on the hillsides ; part
of the mountain slid bodily Into the neigh
boring valley. Upward of 200 people were
killed and many Injured. The whole face ol
the country was so changed that owners ol
property could not identify their possessions ,
and several square miles bad to bo resur-
veycd. The hot springs were quenched ,
Scientists like Dr. Milne of Toklo though !
the eruption due to largo accumulations ol
gases that suddenly exploded , tcnrliu
through the earth and finding vent In the
hot springs.
Perhaps the most startling Instance o !
volcanic eruption was that in the island ol
Krakatoa , in the Straits of Sunda , between
Java and Sumatra , In 1883. This upheaval
shook the earth for hundreds of miles. In
the huge tidal wave which it raised 30.00C
people were drowned. The atmospheric dis
turbance which It created extended around
the entire globe. Ashes were thrown to ao
unknown .height In the air , and were sus
tained there around tbo earth for a year ,
The tmn looked rod through an atmosphere
of ashes.
