NEW YoRK-The dry goods market
shows no change In the tenor OF to-
days trading from that which has pre-
vailed during the week. The conditions
are very satisfactory for spirited trad
Ing next week. There are many buyers
In the city. some OF whom have express
ed their intention OF remaining until
next week. Other buyers are expected,
and sellers generally believe that the
week will be an active one. The price
tone In both cotton and woolens IS well
sustained. In staple cottons the local
market has shown firm tone all week.
The demond for brown goods has
shown no diminution, converters being
steady buyers in the market. Bleached
cottors are firm and without feature.
Prints have had very fair week In
many grades. Staples continues fairly
active. Fancles show no change of mo-
ment Cotton dress goods in all seas
enable and fashionable lines are active.
G!nghams are active and without fea-
tnre. Mapped fabrics are dull and un-
changed.

crease OF Si36.000. on the other hand.

Offset by decrease Of ;s,ai5, 500 In legal

Where this money vert Is somewhat
problematical. but the statement ana
lyzed as to Individual changes shows one
large bank to have lost nearly 100000
In cash. Its loans remain at nearly the
same figure previously reported. and It's
deposits have fallen on 100000.
Three ofthe other large banks seem to
have lost $1,000 900 In cash, thus account
ing for the total change or the week.
The only Inference IL that the cash
loaned. or an amount as large. has
grown out OF banks. since It does not
show In tho deposits, and the increase
In loans and the decrease In cash almost
exactly Offset each other, AS the re-
serve requirements. for the week were
not effected by heavy deposits changes,
the loss In cash reduces the surplus re-
serve by almost the same amount drawn
out OF the banks. The excess money In

amount about almost one-half as large

It's have increased sl5,000.000 and loans
s23,000000. In other words, loans are
expanding faster than deposits, and cash
Is decreasing az n result. Although the
latter has been the case for only one
week It is significant as showing that the
flow OF money to this centre has been
checked TO meet growing demands ut In

To-day's stock markets were elagnant.

mcntarily upset all the markets, mainly
because of the general bull account with
no bear commitment TO steady them.
Consols touched 112h sellers and recov-

that neither the scare nor the sharp fall
in stocks Is justified and recovery is
expected soon.
The slump was most severe in Canada

Yo.... asteroide que solo Sc abrillanta
Baio la suave luz de tn pupila.
Hay un abismo entire los DOSES cierto !;
Mas ell amor los polos aproxima,
Y ell dolor los esfuerzos agiganta.
Este dolor, titan que no dormita
va echo sobre sus hombros Ia tarea
De rellenar la sima.
Y ese abismo sin fondo,
Al empuje tenaZ de la desdicha
Colmado quedara con mi ternura,
Que, como mi desgracia, ss in6nits.
