Financial

New York, July 16.-The Financier says: '',The bank statement for the current week reflects the operation incident to the financing of the new government loan and the totals do not differ materially from what had been anticipated. The banks lost heavily to the treasury, although they gained something like two millions from the interior The result is shown in a net increase of $4,409,S00 in cash, and as de- posits remain nearly stationary, the re- serve decreased almost in the same pro- portion-or $3,979,475 to be exact
 Loans are still expanding, the increase for the week having been s6,17S.200. In the light of known facts as to the slowness of commercial paper, it is needless to say that this gain has no connection with mercan- tile affairs. It can be traced almost with out exception to the banks which are act ing or are preparing to act as government Repositories. Of course other banks are doing their usual share of business, but the rapid fuctuation in the principal items is due almost entirely to the causes mem tioned. Now that the bond subscription has closed the real effect on the money market will become apparent. It is known that 0O0O00 GOO or more have been paid into the treasury for small bonds. This money has in reality been withdrawn or is now in course of collection, but the treasury dis bursements are so heavy that the effect has not been eprceptibe, especially as a large portion portion of 1t remains in de- poistory banks. During the next ten days the 2 per cent. cheeks on the; successful bids for tho remainder of the loan will 20 through the banks and then will begin the payments on the principal These, ip all probability, will be extended in such n manner to prevent heavy accumulation of cash in the treasury, and as the daily

deficit in that branch of the government IS between one and two millions, 1t will be seen that the completion of the loan will not disturb the money market The return of the unsuccessful bids on the other hand will throw on the market for investment a large sum of money. This Is one of the features disclosed by the enormous sub scription which is attracting no little at tention It becomes patent, that the coun- try has more money and is willing to ac- cept lower returns than at any previous period. This is being shown in the west as well as in the east, and it Is compli- eating the banking system of New York because the one outlet which could always be depended upon is now closed by the ac- emulation of capital which is being used to meet the needs of the communities.

Tn Watl Sr, es..

New York, July 1G.-Wall street apparent ly remained unconvinced today that values of securities had been increased by capit- ulaton of Santiago. and prices stubbornly refused to advance in the face of that event The upward tendency of Americans in London was viewed with apathy and the few advances at the opening here were not at the London parity. The accumula ted orders fin commission houses were of very small volume, the outside public being ap- parently taken up with other interests than speculation in stocks. The bears were con- fident and aggressive and were prompt to take advantage of the absence of buying demand to attack the market. Sugar was the first point of attack and the prices yielded quite readily, but the only small quantities of stocks were dislodged by the decline The weakness of the coalers, which had persisted all week, continued a marked feature. There is no doubt there has been liquidation of long stock in these com panies on account of accumula ted troubles of trade There is but sluggish demand for even the curta1led output and the com panies find themselves at odds over the maintenance of prices and division of ter ritory. The plans for the construction of a new road from the anthracite region to
 
 Delaware and Hudson. was easily forced down 2k points and Reading first preferred and New Jersey Central also suffered ma- terial declines. The bears were also busy with Manhattan. There was an obvious in- crease in the short account and no ap- parent effort to cover it over Sunday. The bank statement is not really realized. The decrease of cash $4. 409 300, is practically all accounted for by the gains of the sub treasury during the week on account of the bond subscriptions. The governments gain on this account is not reflected on the depositor averages of the bank was the case last week. The loan expansion is considerably curtailed, but still reflects good business situation. The lgal reserve requirement is very little unchanged by reason of the small increase in deposits that decline in cash is almost reflected in the decrease.

 Birmingham, July 16.-There is no change in the complication of foreign market, dull ness rules supreme with unchanged prices; sales, 5000 bales. Market closed quiet. The opening here was weak with senti- ment .bearish in accordance with the Chronicles weekly report, which showed the entire belt in a healthy condition and crop prospects bright This caused some liquidation and although the trading was light, declines of points below yesterday prices were recorded. We have not de- viated from our bearish advices and now believe August deliveries will be around 590 or less.

Paine. Murphy < Co.'S Stock Letter.

Birmingham, July 16.-The opening showed a continued disgust at the delay regarding Santiago occupation, and prices were lower, although London showed more confidence. Yellow fever reports showed increases and the skeptical element con- strued delay as meaning a big play by Spain to embarrass American troops by devastation of disease among their ranks. Any way, sized up in the most conserva- tive manner, the surrender, of Santiago has a string tied to 1t which is anything but Q decisive victory or ending of the war Feeble rallies occurred throughout the day on report of Sampson's vessels en- tering Santiago harbor. These reports are up to noon conflicting, but we learn semi-oficially that it is so, although the navy department denied it, or at least the official knowledge. The market closes fe- verish and weak. We cannot predict over Sunday, but will say if there is any official good news over Sunday, the market will quickly recover.

 Birmingham, July 16.-Liverpool cables were about the same as yesterday, but the increased, receipts at all primary points and Chicago caused some bearish eenti- ment which was offset to some extent by local rains in the harvest districts and hot waves in the corn belt. The latter e. real showed great strength on these re- ports and the belief that the corn crop will be reduced, is gaining many friends. This sympathy probably held wheat steady as the unwieldly short interest are
