FAVORABLE IN EVERY WAY The Weekly Statement of the
 Associated Banks. a3iG EXPANSION IN LOANS Great Change in the Conditions Heretofore Prevailing in the Money Market. GOLD SHIPMENTS ARE ALMOST OVER The Total Loans Are Within $1oo,ooo of the Highest Mark Ever Touched
 in New York-other Prom
 inent Features.
GOLD SHIPMENTS ARE ALMOST OVER

New York, Aug. A.-The weekly state ment of the associated banks show the following changes:
 Reserve, decrease, $3700,200.
 Loans, increase, $2257 300.
 Specie, increase, $519, 300.
 Legal tenders, decrease, $5,141 700.
 Deposits, decrease, $36SS,S00.
 Circulation, increase, $S5, 200.
 The banks now hold $37, 7,566,675 in ex- cess of legal requirements.
 The New York Financier says this week: The statement of the associated banks of this city for the week ending August "A was a favorable one in every way. It was marked by healthy ex- pansion in loans, a contraction of depos- it's and consequent shrinkage of $3,7Oo,- 900 in the excess reserve, which now stands at s37 ,366,675. The past week has witnessed a great change in the condi- tions heretofore prevailing in the money market. There has been no advance in rates, it is true, but every development points to an early season of better figures for loans. The movement of money from the interior did not nearly equal the ship ments from this center to the south and west, more especially the latter section. The demand from the south has not been dS dCtfNt us dHllCipdlSu anu uldy HOl reach the proportions estimated, al though conservative bankers are of the opinion that the south will vet be an &C., tive bidder for funds. The large amount of money presented by the bond syndi- cate to members have been operated to a greater or less extent in keeping rates down, but now that this factor in the market has become practically elmi- mated, though the announcement of d final payment made, a more definite fore cast is possible. It Is not expected that gold shipments will assume much larger proportions since the reduction in ex- change rates has removed chances of making much profit on transfers of coin.
 The expansion of $2,257,3 300 in loans during the week represents business done with country banks and demands from commercial sources, as well as from some , of the larger stock exchange houses.
 Deposits decreased S36SS, 800, owing probably to the withdrawals of funds by gold exporters and the reduction of bal ances by banks.
 There is an increase of $519 300 in spe- cie holdings. The total holdings are only about 0000. or $24,0O0, 900 less than the specie reserve of one year ago. Total loans are again within $lOO. .000 of the highest mark ever touched in New York, while deposits are $12000000 less than on August 25, 1894, when loans were $25, 00O,- 000 under he present figure.

A Suicide at Montgomery-A Drummers Trib- ute to the Magic City-Death of
 Prominent AIabamian.

Montgomery, Aug 24.-(Special)-T morning about 4:3O ocolck, when Mr Will Hall night yard clerk of the West ern railroad, stepped upon the Western freight depot platform he saw the apparently lifeless body of Jim McDaniels, ex-night yardmaster of the Western railroad, stretched prone upon the platform. MT. Hall gave the alarm, and when help came Mr. Me Daniels was removed to the car inspect or's office. Here he was laid across some boxes, and found to be still alive. Physicians were called, and at present he is still alive, though 1t is believed he will die. Investigation showed MT McDan- iels to be suffering from an overdose of laudanum, taken, it is supposed, with suicidal intent. Two empty two-ounce laudanum phials were found. He told one of the yard men early in the night about his throwing two others away. Some morphine he had left in a glass was found in the office. MT McDaniels is a young man about 22 years of age and unmarried, who came to nhis city from Atlanta, Ga., some time ago.
 He was given the position of night yardmaster under his brother-in-law, General Yardmaster Albert Johnson. At the recent street car wreck about ten days ago he received a sprained ankle, from which he had not recovered. Since then he has not worked.
 For some cause the young man had lost his position with the railroad, and 1t is believed that despondence growing take his own life.
 I.ater-McDaniels is dead His re- mains were shipped to his parents in Atlanta tonight for interment.

He Knows A Good Thing.

A very intelligent drummer, who visits occasionally all of the cities and big towns in the south, said in the lobby of the Exchange last night that he was just finishing up his trip. He said he had felt the pulse of every city between Baltimore and Galveston in the past sixty days and that Birmingham was, to his mind, the most prosperous one of them all It was suggested that per- haps he intended to convey the impress sion that Birmingham showed more evil dence of improvement in condition than any of the other cities.

TO QUIT MAKING BEER.
The Benedictine Monks Will Dispose of
 Their Brewery


 Washington, Aug. 24.-The matter of the protest against the Benedictine monks at St. Vincent's Abbey, Beatty, Westmoreland county, Pa, of the brew cry established by them some time ago, is still under consideration by Mgr Sa- tolli the papal delegate. A satisfactory disposition of the affair is said at the le- gation to be assured; that as soon. as the monks can dispose of the property they will do so. As stated in these dis patches at the time the brewery and It's management were discussed by the con- vention of the National Catholic Total Abstinence society in New York, the. monks had no intention or desire to af- front the temperance societies of the na- tion and the church. and that they would doubtless follow the example set by the Augustine monks in the same state a number of years ago in like circum- stances, and abandon their connection with the brewery industry in the course of time
