New York, July lO.-The Financier
says:
The associated banks of New York. il
their statement for the week ending July
is to be accepted as correct, have less
surplus cash on hand than at any time
with the exception of September, 1893,
since the 1893 panic. The current exhibit
is so complicated by incidents due to July
disbursements and also by the system Of
averages employed in making it, that its
totals do not possess the significance that
otherwise might attach to them; the loss
OF about $lO,O00,OOO in cash, for instance,
is much more than known operations
called for and the expansion Of nearly ST.
100000 in loans must reflect previous
weeks business. The demands for ac-
commodation recently certainly did not
necessitate this violent rise. As the state
ment stands it plainly indicates that every
dollar of the loans has been taken from
the banks in cash and withdrawal of de-
posits has been similar operation. Man.
ifestly this is an impossible contingency.
A more detailed explanation shows that
of the loss in cash the National City and
Chase National banks are responsible for
the entire reduction, the National City's
loss having been about $6,00O,O00 and its
increase in loans more than 100000.

POrtia Went to the Bottom,

Halifax, July l3.-The steamer Portia
which struck on shoal l6 miles east oil
Halifax filled and sank and now lies in
nine fathoms of water, her topmasts alone
being visible above the surface.
The only victim of the wreck was a II.
year-old Assyrian lad who, being seasick
hid himself in some corner and could not
be found when the passengers We're taken
from the sinking ship. Seventy passen
gers and the crew of "a officers and mer
were landed safely at Sambro island and
today were brought to Halifax on two
local steamers.
The accident is believed to have beer
due to the dense fog prevailing at tn.
time The locality is considered very dan
gerous.
The Portia was an iron vessel of 1872 ton.
and Is years old. 1t is not thought any at
tempt will be made to raise the ship, al
though efforts will probably be made te
recover parts of the cargo.

coke and anthracite furnaces expanded
from 249,OOO tons weekly on June l 10
257 900 tons weekly on July and yet fur-
mace and warrant stocks fell from Zlo'ooo
to l49. 900 tons, or four days supply, reek-
oned on the whole output
This figure, however, is somewhat ms
leading since the stocks cover only the
metal on hand at the furnaces running
for the open market, representing ABOUT
one quarter OF the output. But even max
ing due allowance for this, the stocks are
at very low ebb.
New Furnaces Starting Up.
It is true that number of furnaces
have started since the first of the month
and that others will be in before the be-
ginning of August, but an easing in the
situation is not yet in sight, particularly
since an important group OF furnaces IN
the Shenango valley are banked on ac
count of labor troubles. Although they
are expected to start soon certain
amount of tonnage has been lost.
1t has been a matter of surprise thai
thus far there have been few indications
that high prices have adversely affected
consumption Probably the fact that de
liveries have been at much lower range
of values may explain it, Quite recently
however, a number of instances OF hold
ing over enterprises have come under on
notice.
