Talbott & Palmer's Grain Letter

By. Private Wire from Ware & Leland.
 Chicago, August 5.-Wheat: London opens rather lower Paris was unchanged. Antwerp unchanged. Liverpool closed. Worlds shipments indicate 600 bush els. Australian shipments none India, 1,128,0Go. Last week. 1,4400O0. Wheat afloat increased 300, ,000. Passage decreased 56,000 bushels. Rains have been general weather indications fair in the northwest. Primary receipts, 675,000. Shipments, 234 900. Clear ances for the week, 4,7l1 900. July to date, 1S,500,000 an increase of 477O0O over last year. Exporters bought 34.oo0 bushels at the seaboaTd yesterday. Reported today, ten loads, 10000 No. 2 hard. The best peo- pie in the export trade are predicting big demand in wheat, and flour is certainly going forward in large quantities, with no bankrupt stocks to work against as was the case one year ago. The market has been very dull, with a marrow range, and closed weak. There was some selling of September and buying of December at 2Ac difference Floor traders are beairish and talking lower prices. The large weekly ex- ports cut no figure whatever and the talk is no cash demand Hedging sales still continue, and a very respectable short in- terest has been created. We cannot advise short sales. Corn clearances very heavy, 900 bushels. Kansas state crop report estimates a 400,0 GOO crop, but very little impression was made on values, although sentiment is overwhelmingly bearish. Country acceptances are Night There is tremendous short interest outstanding al- together too much for the safety of the bears at large.
 Oats: Values are down to a point where farmers are indisposed to sell and the movement to this market is likely to fall down considerably on this account, as well as the wet weather, which is against the free country movement.
 Provisions: Hogs closed easy, estimated Monday, 9O,0o0 Stocks of meats at four principal packing points August l, 166, ,OO0, 600 pounds, a reduction of 25,O0O,OOO through. Liverpool bacon unchanged to Cd higher; lard 6d higher. There was some selling by packers, and yesterdays advance was lost. With the demand that exists for all kinds of products We favor purchases on all re- sessions.

What the Financier Says .

New York. August 5.-The New York Fi- nancier says:
 Despite the fact that the Associated banks of New York reduced their loan commitments by nearly $6,5OOOOo last week and deposits by SIP, ,2s9, 800, thus lowering the reserve requirements s3059,000, the loss of s5 76O 400 in specie and legals caused a fur- ther decline of $2, 700525 on surplus reserves, bringing the item to SSSO 100. or only about s3 GOO 900 in excess of the lowest point touched enc month ago. Since that period the banks despite the manifest effort to recoup reserves, have lost at least Sl0.OOO,- 900 in cash holdings although they have gained 8 900 900 excess surplus. This has been accomplished by the contraction of nearly s41, ,0OO, GOO of loans and $52.O00,00O of deposits. an unusually heavy liquidation al this period.
 Tho treasury demands have been respon- sible for the heavy loss It is a question how much longer the present condition can prevail The disbursements of the treasury for August interest and the receipts of spe- ce from the west. from Australia and the Zlondke may partly relieve the situa tion, but at the threshold of the crop season the situation is exciting serious consideration. The statement perhaps does not reflect oth- CT than transitory conditions. At any rate. there seems to be no difficulty in obtaining accommodat ations at this center. and money rates are comparatively easy The loss of specie reported is due to shipments to Mon treal on account of the bank failures there. and receipts from other centers are known to have been large enough to counteract this loss. even though the statement does not show it. Interest in the situation from now on centers in the demand for crop money and the ability of interior banks to meet it. Any drain on New York is bomnd to bring relief in the way of gold imports for exchange is now declining In manner that foreshadows such a conclusion. StiH. the season may be tided over without this recourse The fact that the dearth of mon- ey can be traced to the wonderful trade prosperity of the country puts different complexion on the situation than has been the case in past years. when uncertainty and doubt prevailed.

 New York, August 5.-Irregular price changes, generally limited to eighths and quarters, resulted from the dealings in the standard issues up to the publication of the bank statement this morning Trading was exceptionally light in volume.

Talbott & Palmer's Cotton Letter

New Orleans, August 5-In reviewing the situation from speculative point of view during the week. it is noted that with the exception Of food products, the price posi- ton Is generally one of maintained strength advices being most encouraging in lines of manufactured goods or raw ma- terials for manufacturing industries, notably in iron and steel, woolen goods and cotton grades, with advices from the leading mar kets reporting satisfactory opening of the fall trade. Wool continues to advance from it's already high level and its a fair pre- sumption to expect more general mixing of cotton with that of wool, the blending of which will naturally increase the con sumption of the former that much more
 Wool is exceedingly high at present. hav- ing advanced fully 21a cents during the last three months and this article being a com petitor of cotton in the way of a manu- featuring commodity, it follows that it's high price will certainly lend some support to the value of cotton in the near future. Fall River, Lancashire and Southern manu- featuring news is of the most favorable character, mills running under full time on large contracts extending into the new year. The worlds visible supply of cotton decreased during the week 113 900, last year for the same week the loss was only 67,000 and 90,000 in 1895, which figures confirm to a letter the excellent state of the manu- featuring industry. At this date in 1895 the world had 236,000 bales more than it does today, nevertheless, we find the price 5of middling today at the low ebb of 5s4, while in the year cited and al this date the value of middling was 6%. This position is ,as- sumed for no other reason than the prom ises of an unmade and ungathered crop, every bale of which will be required to satisfy the demand of the spinning houses.
 Liverpool was closed today and will rel main so till Tuesday Chronicle report is1 sued today was about as expected, report f,.er tho in q 6nn nd hat picking is under way in some portions of Texas It Is claimed, however, that in Alabama rust is becoming more general and that in Texas shedding Is referred to, Prices here opened at last nights figures. 542 for October, on which basis the market closed.

 ~ New York, August 5.-The Chronicle re- port for the week says that rain is needed in some portions of central and the At lanuc, and on the whole reports are fa- vorabie With Liverpool closed until Tues day, We shall probably witness dull and uninteresting market. The absence of a leader is felt and room traders appear to mcnopolize the little business daily trans- actions. The amount brought into sight for the season so far is u,9e6O00 against
