Money in Bank

NEW YORK, Aug. THE weekly bank
statement shows: Reserve decrease, $4,-
71S,025; loans increase, $6, 566 200; specie, in
crease, $632, 200; legal tender. decrease. $4,-
$50, 500; deposits. increase 49, 1S7, ,30O circu-
lation, decrease SAG, 400. The banks now
hold SAL ,002. 125 in excess of the requirements
of the 25 per cent rule.
The Financier says: The statement of
New York banks for the week ending Au-
gust 1th is favorable in every feature and
indicative of better business conditions
which prevail not only at this center but
over the country generally. The idle cash
was reduced about 81 600 900 and the sur
plus reserve, which still is in excess of
81, 100000, is lower than at any time since
the third week in January. The loss in cash
for the current week was due partly TO the
of legal tenders for gold ex-
port purposes not reflected in the previous
statement. The SIC, 900, 900 loan negotiated
a few days since by New York city also oc-
casioned some shifting of funds. 1t is i'm
portant to note, however, that the Banks
are not gaining heavily from the interior
and the decline in domestic ex-
change rates still continues. With New
York funds at a discount the probability
of continued shipments becomes less The
heavy grain movement in the west and the
reviving business conditions. which must
soon make a demand on balances now
maintained in New York by interior banks
and the fact that time loan of 50 000. 900
was arranged last week by well known
house for four months, seems to reflect an
opinion that rates are easier now than they
will be during the remainder of the sea-
son. The expansion of $6, 566, 200 in loans as
reported in the statement is a favorable
feature. 1t would be idle to attribute all
the increase to mercantile demands, but no
less than thirty-four banks doing a diversi-
fed business show gains. Three of the
largest institutions alone report an in
crease of $4,300,000

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO. Aug. 7.-Wheat led the way
to general decline in prices on the board
of trade today. Foreign markets failed to
respond to the advance in wheat here yes
terday, and the cash sales were very
moderate. Liverpool quotations for fu-
lures of wheat were from 34d for Septem-
ber to 3sd for December lower than they
closed the day before. That was the reason
for decline here of cent per bushel to
begin with. September, which was bring
ing IT'S as the session ended yesterday,
started with sellers at from 761sm76A.
Trade was light. Those who made a hand
some profit on the advance are not dis
posed to risk any of it by buying again
this side of a ) or 6-cent decline. A moder-
ate amount of short selling was evident
on the first bulge to 765s and grew in pro-
portions as the session progressed. Chi
cago receipts were 125 cars, of which 1S
were new spring wheat. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported receipts of 15S car loads,
against 427 a week ago and pa the corre-
spending day of the year before. The
amount inspected out of store was 265. 900
bushels. Chicago receipts for the week
were 10000 bushels and the shipments
Cos $40 bushels. The weeks cearances of
wheat and flour from both coasts of the
United States were equal to 330S, All BUSH
els, compared with 2,S43,0O0 bushels the
week previous and 2.747,CO0 bushels the
similar week last year. About the only
bearfsh feature IN the morning news was
the report of the Kansas crop giving the
yield as 5,595,000 bushels, compared with
30, 900 bushels the year before. The
South Dakota wheat crop was privately
estimated at 80 GOO, 600 bushels, and the gov
ernment's estimate for the year before was
q, $50 000 bushels. The startling rumor that
the Russian government intended stopping
wheat exports was discredited owing to
the apparent weakness in the foreign
marts. Near the end of the session Paris
was reported 2i4M6% per bushel higher.
a half cent rally followed, but the quota
tions were looked upon as an error and had
little effect. A fresh decline set in which
carried the price to the lowest point of the
day. Cash sales were small compared with
enormous transactions of late New York
claimed forty boat loads sold and one or
two round lots were worked here. Sep
tember rallied half a cent at the close,
chiefly on covering. 1t was another day
of liquidation in corn. A fair business was
done in oats. Selling orders were plentiful
and the weakness in the other cereals
helped the decline. Provisions were very
heavy during the greater part of the day
influenced largely by the weakness of
wheat. corn and oats.

Total ..........................S 81 051 ,9S7, ,O91
This is the largest value for the export
trade in the history of the country. Only
once before, in 1912, has the total exceed
ed 600 100000. being for that year $780,
27S 14S.
The splendid record for the last fiscal
year, says the San Francisco Bulletin, was
due to more active business abroad than
here, as well as to partial failure of the
grain crops in the principal selling coun-
tries, by which the United States was able
to increase the value of its breadstuffs ex-

1t must be gratifying to the members
and friends of the Philadelphia CONNER
cial Museums to know that their recent
efforts in entertaining the delegates to the
United States from the Latin American
countries were not without good results.
Prof. Wilson, one of the directors of the
museums, is quoted as saying that among
the results of the visit of the South Ameri-
can merchants to this country are a gov
ernment contract that will ultimately in
volve the expenditure of SO, 900 coo, one order
in Pittsburg for $l,5OO,OOO and a very con-
siderable number of smaller orders for
practically every variety of manufactured
goods These orders are with reference
TO Pennsylvania territory only. Director
Wilson does not attempt to estimate the
manufacturing centers throughout New
England and the west. He further says
that these delegates found goods here that
they had been buying from English and
German merchants, believing that they
were produced in England and Germany
Now that they have discovered that they
were really American-made goods, they
have announced their intention of buying
them direct. Several other orders of i'm
portance are mentioned as having been
placed in this country.
