LOS Angeles, Aug. Ia, 1881.
The, July sales of municipal bonds are
this referred to in the last issue of the
New York Bond Buyer:
The extraordinary increase in invest
ments in municipal bonds which imme-
diately followed the presidential election
Of November last shows no signs Of abate-
merit at the season of the year when busi-
ness generally shows a falling off. While
speculation in railway shares and other
stocks listed on the exchanges has fluc-
tuated from day to day, and the volume
of shares dealt in his shown a decrease
compared with corresponding seasons, the
permanent. non-speculative investment in
municipals for July has been the largest
for any month during 1897 1t should be re-
membered. in considering the true and full
Significance of this statement, that this
investment represents a solid, bonahde
investment of funds for long periods, and
must be classed with the most healthy and
enduring form of the prosperity which we
see pressing upon the country with in
creasing force.
The total sales of municipal bonds off,
cially reported to the Bond Buyer during
the month of July, just expired, was s21,-
6,713 in amount. There were sold 224
different issues to 1856 different bidders,
among whom were sixey-one regular deal
ers who make speciality of municipal in
'vestments.
We append a table of sales for the past
seven months Of this year, compared with
the corresponding months of last year:

Money in Bank

NEW YORK, Aug. H-Weekly bank
statements show the following changes:
Reserve decrease 81, ,119 400; loans increase,
$5,60S, 400; specie, increase, $4S25OO; legal
tenders, decrease, s1,152, 500: deposits, in
crease, $4S57 600; circulation, decrease,
S199,2O0. The banks now hold s29 SS2. 725 in
excess of the requirements of the 25 per
cent rule.
The bank statement for the week ending
Aug. 18th reflects more accurately than
usual the revival of business. The item
of loans shows a continued expansion, the
total now being s555 170, S00 or $50, 900 900
higher than any record made previous to
this year. In the past month loans have
increased no less than $2l. 900 900, and in
sixty days the expansion has been approxi-
mately s42, 900 900. For the past week no
less than thirty-nine of the sixty-five
clearance house banks swelled their loan
totals. the National City and Hanover Ma
tional leading with a combined increase of
S., 35S, 800. AS there are no special causes
to account for the fluctuations in loans
other than reviving stocks, mercantile de-
mands and inquiry for rediscounts, the
healthy nature of the business which the
New York banks are doing becomes ap-
parent. The interior movement is almost
at standstill, and a great deal of money
is flowing out of New York in response to
the immediate needs in the south and west.
Some of this money is going direct but
banks in interior reserve cities are supply
ing smaller banks with funds and will
draw on their New York balance later on
1t has been a foregone conclusion that
the demand for money would cause rise
in rates, and quotations may be expected to
reach slightly higher level than obtain
ing at present.
Even a sSS 100000 surplus reserve must
shrink rapidly in the face of heavy local
borrowing and losses to the interior On
the other hand there is no longer any
doubt that gold shipments will begin soon,
perhaps before the end of this month
This will of course, constitute an extra sup
ply of funds and may supply some of the
losses that otherwise might occur.
Foreign bankers do not attepmt to esti-
mate the total of this falls imports, but
private opinion places it at $50, 900, 900. All
the gold will be drawn out this year, as
last, for boarding, but will go largely into
the treasury. 1t is noticeable in this connec-
tion that the banks of New York hold only
$11. .0000 600 less gold than legal tenders. The
present total, $92,612 300, is s45, ,OOO 300 larger
than reported just one year ago. With an
active market this fall and winter, gold
may be forced into circulation, both from
the treasury and from the banks.

this seasons shipments aggregates about
ST. 200. 900. against s1,76500O a year ago, an
increase of $435, 900, and leading men in the
trade anticipate a continuance OF large
shipments from now until the close of the
season. The combined shipments from
Montreal and New York for the present
season are 602, 1856 boxes, as compared with
479,7 1893 boxes for the corresponding period

had authorized some change In the duties
on wheat in the direction of reduction or
as some interpreted 1t, in the way of
concession in favor of the French millers
in some indefinite way. The lessening of
the import duty in France would enable
the grain dealers of that country to flood
their own markets with foreign wheat
and the demand would be chiefly directed
to America. AS the price of wheat at
Paris was quoted in the first dispatches
at an advance of nc per bushel, 1t was
fairly good evidence there was no knowl-
edge in Paris up to that time of any change
In the rates of duty. As, however, later
kilograms reported decline there equal to
%M11ac per bushel, the rumor began to
assume credence and prices were rushed
up with will.
The receipts at Chicago were 219 cars,
and the out-nspection of 1880 bushels, and
shipments. 1850 433 bushels. The days
clearances of wheat and flour from At
latte ports were equal to $4,000 bushels.
