THE SAN HE Oceanlc Steamshlp Company's liner Mariposa arrived yesterday afternoon from Tahiti with twen- ty-nire passengers and a cargo of tropical products. As has been the case ever since she commenced to use liquid fuel, the Mariposa came into port | with her decks and paintwork gulitless of | smear or ‘smudge and in genera! looking more like a well-kept-up private yacht than a vessel engaged In commercial transportation. C. N. Fulcker, formerly purser on the Martposa, came up on the Mariposa with his wife and family. Fulcher has been engaged In business in the South Seas since he left the service of the Oceanlc Steamship Company. The Mariposa’s car- £0 included 110,218 cocoanuts, a large ship- ment of copra and ninety-eight barrels of wine. Her passengers were as follows: Dr. G. J. Luce, Captain G. W. Sutton, J. Chetwood, G.

Many quaint and curious customs, hu- morous and pathetic, survive among sall- ors, and now and then a new one arises | which seems to have no connection with | the old ones. Just as the liner has bred | a new type of seaman, and a new sea- faring class—the stewards—so these latter | seem to have established a Neptune “of | thelr own—a humorous social deity known | Society of Bungs. The Grand Worthy holds court princi-| though members of his court frequently spend the summer in trips across the | Atlantic, generally on such vessels as sail | from Southampton, whither come the ships from the south and east. When trade is dull on the passenger ships of | the Orlental lines, in summer, it is good | on the trans-Atlantic liners, and stewards | are transferred to them, where the har | est is greatest. It is only below decks, | | however, that the steward puts off his| alert and respectful manner and frolics | with his fellows. In the seclusion and freedom of the | “glory hole,” when the stewards are off duty, vou might see a steward draw a | cork from his pocket, step up to another | and cry: “Bung up.” Then must the | man addressed produce a similar cork. If this badge of membership is lost or mislaid, the loser Is flued twopence for| the benefit of the treasury of the soclety. | Then there is apt to be a chorus of “Bung | up!” from the onlookers, who are also | members, and for each who so addresses | him the unfortunate who has mislaid his the twopence | fine, up to the sixth time.

There are towels galore to be furnished for each stateroom, and the tablecloths and napkins, of which must be renewed dally. Moreover, the quality of linen supplied to a modern ship like the Oceanic or the Cedric of the White Star line, or the St. Paul or Phii- adelphia of the American line, i3 the very best that can be bought in the market, finer even that that ordinarily suppiied to the patrons of a first-class hotel on shore. On a liner this linen is changed every > launder the accumulation of stock on board, the ship must start with a full supply for the trip and a liberal margin for emergencies. For instance, the St. Paul took out on a recent trip some 50,000 including 10,000 napkins, 10.000 | sheets, 2000 pillow slips, 1000 tabjecloths, 1000 counterpanes, 3000 bedroom towels and an astonishing number of dusters, cooks’ | cloths, glass cloths, dresser cloths and & variety of minor pieces known oniy to the | cooks and stewards. This necessitates a mighty linen-room at each end of the line whence are sup- | plied the clean pleces in exchange for tha solled ones brought ashore at the end of each trip. It ‘s estimated that 149 ships of the International mercantile marine, as the largest aggregation of ocean-going Iliners in the world, have at their com- mand 4,000,000 t0y5,000,000 pleces—a supply on each ship and an equal supply at each end of the line, clean and waiting the arrival of the vessel in port. This neces- sitates an army of shore employes, whose task is to launder this linen, check it off and furnish it to the outgoing vessels. | l- - ¥ 53 © docked at Lombard street wharf early in | Bung Soctety on the short Atlantic trips. - Giers. s one stewsrd “ = .

BANKERS ARE CAUTIOUS, At home the financial situation is ap- parently viewed with calmness. There is an abundance of money for mercantile eand similar purposes, but the banks con- tinue to show extreme conservatism where money is wanted for stock market purposes. Reports that Secretary Shaw discriminate against banks retiring their currency find new believers. In t connection it is to be noted, how- ever, that the applications of banks for the retirement of circulation still come in large numbers, the limit for this month having been already exhausted. Coal trade conditions are exciting some interest by reason of the apparent inten- tion of the coal carrying raliroads to re- strict production. Indeed, it has already been announced that the anthracite ton- nage in the future is not to exceed the demand. Trading in bonds displayed little feature of interest.

The chief steward, though one of the dignitaries of the ship. generally o~longs to this whimsical society, but it is not permitted to “Bung him up,” and he is not subject to the penalties; instead he stands a stated assessment of half a scv- ereign. The soclety is thus not only per- mitted but encouraged. It conduces to fellowship among the stewards, trains them to be alert, watchful and respectful —qualities valued highly in the'{mlelslnn —and gives that touch of humor o life shipboard that brightens long hou: and wearying labor. The mona2y which accumulates in the treasury is spent at intervals in a Jjollification ashore, when the members of the soclety able to attend, and this may take the larm of a| dance in London, a picnic up the Hugli in India, or a chopstick dinner in some Chinese tea garden.—Baltimo-e American. ————— on The “Stocking” Room. The National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City is one of the foremost fi nanclal Institutions of the Far West. Capital, $1,000,000; surplus, $1,000,000; undi- vided profits, $550,000; deposits $33,000,000. Following the example of our Fifth Aven- ue Bank, it is paying particular attention to the accounts of the fair sex. Its stock | is worth $35 a share, and If the women | are allowed to have more to say about | its affairs the price may one of these | days go to $4100, the price of Fifth Avenue Bank shares. A unique feature is the *stocking” room. We have heard of “stock” rooms in financial institutions, but never before of a “stocking” room. I do not believe President Algernon Sulli- van Frissell has a “stocking” room in | his bank at No. 530 Fifth IVenIIe.—Ne': York Press. gl S s arE i INitric Acid by Electricity. The production of nitric acid by elec- tro-chemical methods is a new process that promises extensive changes in our agriculture. The manufacture of nitric acid from the nitrogen and oxygen of the air in sufficient quantities for commercial use has been the dream and hope of scl- entists for years. At Nlagara experi- ments have been donducted successfully in producing commercial nitric acld by using a high tension current in an air chamber, by which a yleld of one pound of nitric acid Is obtained for every seven horsepower hours.—Exchange.

The immigrants are provided _instead with traw mattresses and stout, comfortabie blankets, which receive equal attention with the other bedroom suppli at the end of each trip, the blankets being thor- oughly washed, boiled and disinfected, as well as the mattress covers. The straw from the latter is also replaced with new clean straw each trip. Nevertheless there is much third-class linen, for the third- class passengers now sit at tables cov- ered with white cloths, and the cooks’ department uses supplies similar to those in the first and second class. Losses of linen on the trip are charged to the general profit and loss account of the ship, and are not accounted to either teward or passenger. The linen man, however, takes speclal care of the nap- kins, which are most easily lost and the most costly of the supplies. The tabie stewards who come to him for these have to sign a book for the amount taken and this is suppaged to make them more care- ful In the handling.—New York Times. —ee————— WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT. Financial Concerns in Good Condition to Meet Season’s Re- quirements. NEW YORK, Sept 12—The Financier says: The chief feature of the statement of the#New York Associated Banks last week was the loss of §1,%8,500 In cash re- serve, an amount larger by $1,226,50 than _ the decrease which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements of money during the week. The discrepancy wag probably principally caused by large unreported withdrawals of money early in the week, which much more than off- set the later gains due to the return to the city of holiday money. The deposits were increased only $64300, maKing the reserve requirements $16, more; adding this sum to the loss of cash made $1,924,- 7. as the decrease in surplus reserve, which now is $15,372,200. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of 337« 285,900 of public funds, the surplus is $24.- §93,675. The loans were increased $2.61 000, or $862,700 more than in the previous week. The statement shows a fairly gocd bal= ance, the gain in loans, less loss of cash, calling for an increase of $256,300 im de- posits. One feature was a gain of $927.400 in circulation, following more or less de- creases In previous weeks. The loans are $8,387,200 in excess of deposits, agalnst $6,284,500 In the previous wook. The daily average of® clearings for the five days ‘was $155,000,000, while in the week ending September 5 it was $162,000,000. The reserve surplus is $14,57,127 greater than it was a year ago and therefore the banks are in a far better position to meet the season's requirements from the interior for crop and for business pur- poses.
