There is nothing, however, especially significant in these facts, The time for the moving of the crops is close at hand, and interior banks lire nierely preparing for that period by Bending funds to that city anticipatory to drawing on them when thoy shall need them a little later on. Tho amount of deposits is larger than over before, but so like wise is the volumo of business that they roproBont. Iudood, so far as tho legal reserve Ih concerned, the amouut held by the Gleaming houso bauks, accordiug to Saturday's statement, is 87,000,000, loss than they hold on the corresponding dute in 1808. a year of remarkable activity in all linos of business and in stock markot operations Such a state of things is far moro desirable than ouo would bo in which the lendablo resources of tho hanks had reached their limit.

Tho abundanco of lendablo banking resources, at tho present moment, too, occurs at a timo to emphasize the point that whatever may be the cause of the existing torpid con dition of busiuoss, it is not duo to a deficiency in the supply of money. Returns made to the (ioological Suvrey show that the United States has again exceeded all previous records in the production of coal. The forhtcomiug report on the country's coal production, which K W. Parker, statistician, will soon make, will show that the total out put of the coal mines of this country in I'.IO.'i amounted to .'tf.!), l'21,.'ll I short tons. This is an increase of fi7,8:U),H7'2 short tons, or nineteen per (tent, over the production of 11)02, which amounted to :i()l,.r!)0,i:t!) tons. The production of 100. 'I was neaily double that of 18011, ami more than three times the output of 188:1. The increase of production in 1JHKI over 1002 was equal to the total produc tion of all kinds of coal in 1878, only twenty live years ago. Largo and jiguilloaut as was the increase in the amount of coal produced, the in crease in the value of the product was still more noticeable. The value of the coal product at the mines in lOO.'l iuihhui led to 8f)00, 100,7:111, which, compared with the value of the output in 1002 (9U07,. 0112, 000), shows an lncroi.se of 9i:i0, 158,001, or nearly thirty-eight per cent. Tho percentago of in crease in value was almost exactly double that of tho increase in pro duction. Gem MHI in Operation. The best pioce of news reoioved iu Maker City iu a long time was that given out yesterday by II. T. Hendryx, of the (leisor-Houdryx company lessees of tho Com mine, at Sparta. He stated that the big mill had been started again on pay ore, that tho llrst cleanup had been brought into the bank yesterday. A force of fifteen men is at work iu the Com and the development work is proceeding rapidly. Mr. Hendryx states that his company is steadily shipping high grade ore from the Tabor Fraction mine iu tho Monroe district. In the Midway they are installing a new air compressor which will soon be iu opeiatiou. Mr. Hendryx loft last night on a short business trip to tho east. Democrat. Visited All the Districts. Cenoral Mauager Fuller, of tho Oregon Smelting aud Rollning com pany, came iu Saturday oveuing fioiu a horse back trip through the bills. Ho had been out almost ooutiuunusly for two weeks, following trails, ex amining dumps and workings. Asked by a Miner man if he bad finished bis inspection, he said: "No, I never expect to finish that work; but I havo visited all the districts triba tary to Sumpter, and have a fair idea of tho situatiou, so far as the prob able ore Bupply for the Bmelter is concerned."
