Th Financier a lit say:
An unexpected cash gain of $9,021.40. or
at least thre times in axevsa of a hat the
known figures earlier In the ne-k Indicated,
brought about an Increase in the surplus re
serve In th Near York bank of 17. 142. 0m).
according to th statement of actual coudl-
lon 1 sailed Saturday. A a result, the eur
plu above th 2A per cent reserve minimum
now gi.oi.Via.
This U the largest surplus recorded sine
he middle of eseptember. when the banks
wera preparing to meet crop requirements.
nd la mr than twie aa large aa the aur-
plu for th corresponding date a year ago.
Loan snowed a smaii reuuction in tho
ctual statement of IM?.?. although in
statement of a var.tr a the loan shrink
age is given at gi i.suj. ik i itia proiaily
reflfbcta "jxTiiUmi noted In th previous ac-
ual statement.
At any rate, th surplus, figured on sver
tanda nt 4 17.773.n2.".. or about 42.000,-
m below the real surplus reported by tha
bask on Saturday. It la rsthi-r Interesting
to not thai th shrinkage in loan waa nut
confined to tha clearing -house? banks, but
s tended to th trust companies and out
do Institution, which, according t- the
taiement. reported a deereas of 41.75.0
loans nnd a decrease of n little larger
mount In deposit, together lth n shrink
go of ll..'1-MKtO In cash.
The statement, taken as n whole, fur

Latest Deals of Northwestern
Fruit Exchange.
DISTRIBUTION IS WIDE
lioxed Apples Placed in Markets
Where They AVer Never Known
Before Advantages of Vp-to-Date
Organization.
Th dally market bulletin of the North
western Fruit Exchange, Spaldtns; building,
follows:
This j-ear tha Northwest produced the
lartreat crop of apples in Its history, snd
the business has at last developed Into large
proportions. In the years to coma ths pro
duction will Increase enormously. The
Northwestern Fruit Kschan;e. occupying as
it does a public position snd standing al
ways for the betterment of the . Industry,
has stuck strictly to the facts In these
daily reports to shippers. The course of the
market is clearly portrayed from the be
ginning of the season to the present, and
thoughtful growers everywhere are inited
tu think deeply On the whole question of
the organisation of the Industry. Had much
of the fruit which has subsequently been
placed in the hands of the Exchange been
definitely, committed to it six weeks at?t
it would have been possible to take advan
tage of a large speculative demand for cold
storage, which was lost owing to the un
organised condition of the shippers. This
Kxchanre has large plans for the future.
It will always stand for strengthening of the
local organizations, and will hold itself
ready to lend every assistance to ail districts
in the effort to place themselves on sound
business bals.
The market continues dull ani feature
less. There Is practically no speculative de
mand and cold atorage requirements have
generally been covered. Such a demand as
there is centers In the low-priced varieties,
and the higher-priced and mixed cars of
miscellaneous fruit are hard sellrri. and the
trade are not willing to pay the prices we
are asking for the better grades. Neverthe
less, we have made some very good salea In
the last few daj-a. The following report In

CASE GOES TO JURY
Arguments Closed in Helve
Murder Trial.
STATE EVIDENCE ATTACKED
Attorney Hayes, for Defense, Ap
pea Is to Reasoning: of Jury by
Attempt to Pick to Pieces
Testimony Offered.
OREGON CITY, Nov. 19. (SprrTarv
The fate of Curtis Helvey, of Cams, who
is on trial for Flaying George Smith last
June, is in the hands of the jurymen.
The final arguments of the opposing
counsel look up the greater part of the
day, and after receiving the instructions
of judge Campbell, the 12 talesmen, at
4:50 this afternoon, retired to tho jury
room for tho purpose df determining the
guilt or Innocence of Helvey.
Gordon K. Hayes, for the defense, was
the first to present his argument to the
Jury this morning, and in an address
in behalf of his client he touched upon
the failure to find a club at the scene
of the killing, such as Helvey says
Smith attacked him with, and Intimated
that as Smith's father and brother were
the first to arrive at the body, they per
haps knew of the whereabouts of the
bludgeon.
In attacking the state's theory of the
shooting, Hayes declared that no evi
dence had been, Introduced to show the
height of Smith, or that the model used
in the state's experiments was a man
of the same height and build. The faet
that Smith was shot in the back, ac
cording to Hayes, depends entirely on
the manner In which Smith swung the
club in his endeavor to hit Helvey. The
attorney contended tho fact that wit
nesses for the state had testitled to Hel
vey's accurateness in revolver-shooting,
and asked why it would be necessary
for a marksman, lying in ambush, with
a rest on a log, to have shot three times
In order to hit a large man at a short
distance.
Attorney Brownell In opening, his ar
gument attacked conviction on circum
stantial evidence, and said that in his
opinion, the meanest man on earth is the
one who will try to send another man
to the gallows on suspicion alone. He
declared that, the state had failed to
prove any malice on the part of Helvey
toward the dead man. He said that
Smith's father spoiled the case for the
Btate by failing to tell Helvey that
young Smith was also in the woods look
ing for the colts, and hinted that the
old man wanted the two to meet.
The physical development of the two
men was "compared, and the speaker said
that Helvey was justified in carrying
the revolver. Attacking the assassina
tion theory, Brownell asked why Helvey
talked to Smith's father Just before the
shooting instead of reraaiuing in hiding
The fact that no club was found wad.
in the eyes of the speaker, a strong,
point in favor of the defendant, for had
the shooting been premeditated, he
could easily have brought a club and
placed it near the body to strengthen his
defense.
In concluding, he said his man was
either guilty or not guilty of premedi
tateal murder, and urged the Jury either
. : ,1 Jn.i 1 mm v.vllit nr Cine
to bring in a. first degree verdict or one
of acquittal, as there was no grounds
for the returning of either second degree
or manslaughter verdicts.
The final argument was made for the
state by District Attorney Tongue, who
has conducted the prosecution. He as
sailed many of Helveys witnesses,
charging, them with giving conflicting
evidence. Helvey himself, said the offi
cial, plainly lied in telling the details
of the shooting, and on close question
ing, was picked assunder. He attacked
the testimony of Helvey's father, and
declared him to be an unnatural parent
to run away as he said he did. when he
heard the shots fired, knowing that
Smith was looking for his son.
The defendant was branded as a
cowardly liar, and the Jury was asked
to choose between nis uniiuwuinuaicu
testimony or that or many wim
railed hv the state. Tongue justified
Smith's action in striking Helvey on a
former occasion, and declared that had
he not done so, ho would have been un
deserving of the name of son.
In his instructions to the jury. Judge
Campbell asked them to bring in one of
four verdicts, first degree, second degree,
manslaughter or acauittal. and defined
each degree.
