New York, Sept. lar. G.. Dun says.
a slight setback, which may mean
much or nothing according TO the final
outcome Of the crops, is not unexpect-
ed at this season. The price of wheat
declined sharply, about two cents per
bushel, with little indications OF re-
covery. Corn also yielded with a
strong prospect of the largest crop
ever grown, and at 80 cents at New
York a large proportion of the crop
will be of little profit to farmers. Ii
we are to have a crop of grain and a
small crop of cotton. 1t IS natural to
infer that manufacturers may find
large transactions at the west but not
at the south. There Is in fact a
large demand for goods al the west.
Bradstreet SAYS: The week was
characterized by the unexpected, but
by a less pronounced Improvement
south and southwest. Relatively I'M
favorable features are found in a
qWeter tone in dry goods jobbing cir
Giles: the check of a seasonable trade
throughout central west. due TO the
unusual heat; low prices for mems
wear and woolens; an unsatisfactory
outlook due to depressed quotations
abroad; only moderate orders for do
nestle wooden manufacturers; the
cancellation of a few Nebra ska mer-
chandise orders at Chicago, and the
somewhat critical position of the
American tin-plate industry owing TO
the heavy advance in the price of tin
plate bars without a corresponding
increase in the price of tin-plate. The
most bullish report comes from st.
Louis. All lines of staple merchan-
disc are active, and manufacturing in
dustries are pressed to keep up the
requirements. AT the south the fall
trade is opening more freely than an
ticipated with a marked Improvement
in business and increased confidence
firmness in cotton goods prices, the
most conspicuous movement is the
continued activity of iron and steel,
the highest quotations yet reached
having no effect in restricting the de-
mands. The present rate of produc-
ton Of pig-iron exceeds 100000 tons a
week, the largest in our history-a
rate of more than 100000 tons per
annum. The gross railway earnings
of 127 railroads for August aggregate
$40. ,642. a gain of 16 per cent.
over August year ago when there
was gain of nearly one per cent.
over August 1893. The total bank
clearings in the principal cities Of the
United States during the past week
were S997, S06,91S, an increase of 17.0
per cent. compared with the cores

THE HISTORICAL FRIDAY is AL
MOST PARALLELED.
BANKS CONE TO THE RESCUE
Uncle sam Is Not So Successful as
the Defender When 1t Comes 10
Holding Coin That We Want
Statements From People In In
terest.

New York, Sept. Yesterday was
an exciting day and for time bid fair
to be critical one in che financial
field. Many feared that 1t might pass
into history as a smaller edition of
certain "black Friday" of years ag>.
The crisis was reached In the morning
when the announcement was made
that the firm of Lazard Freezes
which is member of the bond syndi-
cate, had engaged two and n
half millions of gold for shipment
Before the afternoon passed several
city banks came to the aid of the sub
treasury with deposits of gold, made
in exchange for greenbacka, the de-
posits made being sufficient TO offset
the shipments of Saturday. 1t Is ex-
pected in banking circles that the de-
posts OF gold by the banks for green
backs will reach $6,000,0O0 this week
The known shipments to Europe to-
day aggregate $4,5o0,000, making a
total for the week of $7,200,000, the
largest weekly outflow on record, ex-
cept the $7,700,o00 sent abroad in one
week last January when the
drain upon the resery e
reached its highest tide.
The following statement was author
lied by the bond syndicate last night:
"The impression has become general
cate entered into an agreement with
the United States treasury to main
tain the hundred million reserve until
October. and that upon that date said
obligation will cease. Such is not the
case. The bond syndicate fulfilled all
of its obligations to the government
June last, and not since then has been
bound in any way to the treasury. 1t
is true that it has from time to time
since last June paid over various
has done voluntarily and will continue
SO to do In the same spirit and for the
same motive"
The following statement was made
in writing by Lazard Freres: Hoping
that bills Of exchange against the mer-
NistllulSe tApull MOtlu ttlit III tIit
market in fair amounts during the
first half of September, we continued
for a long time TO supply customers
will bills of exchange on which we
could not at the time lind cover. A
combination of circumstances leaves
the market bare of commercial bills
and makes necessary the shipment Of
gold to cover part of the accumulated
indebtedness and to continue supply
ing the daily demands Of trade. The
reasons for these conditions are in
part the late cotton crop and the slow
movement thereof by Europe holding
large quantities of cotton AT cheap
prices and is indisposition to buy
freely at quotations now ruling
Further reasons are the poor demand
for our wheat and the low prices it
brings and the cheapness of money
at this centre. which makes 1t unde-
Slrabe for European bankers to IN.
