FINANCE and TRADE.

NEW YORK, August 5.-The New
York Financier says: Despite the fact
th-t the Associated Banks Of New
York reduced their loan commitments
by nearly s6,500,0O0 last week, and de-
pcsits by 12.239,5OO, thus lowering re-
serve requirements S3,059,00O, the loss
of $5,760,40O in specie and legals caus-
ed a further drain of $2,700.525 on sur
plus reserves, bringing that item down
to $S,110,600, or only about $3,O00,oUo
in excess of the low point touched one
month ago. Since that period, the
banks, despite the manifest eiTort 70
recoup reserves, have lost at least ten
millions of cash holdings, although
they have gained three millions excess
surplus. This has been accomplished
by the contraction of nearly fofty-one
millions of loans and fifty-two millions
OF deposits, an unusually heavy llGul-
dation at this period. The treasury
demands have been responsible for the
steady loss. 1t is question how much
longer the present conditions can pre-
vail. The disbursements by the treas
ury for August interest and the re-
ceipts of specie from the west, from
Australia and the Klondike may partly
relieve the situation, but at the
threshold of the crop season the STU
alton is exciting serious consideration.
The statement perhaps does not reject
other than transitory conditions. AT
any rate there seems to be. no difficulty
in obtaining accommodations at this
center, and money rates are compare
lively easy. The loss of specie report
ed is due to shipments to Montreal, on
account of the bank failures there, and
receipts from other centers are known
to have been large enough to counter
act this loss, even though the state
ment does not show it. Interest in the
situation from now on centers IN the
demand for crop money and the abll-
1ty OF Interior DduhS W meet II. ANY
drain on New York is bound to bring
relief in the way of gold imports, for
exchange is now declining in a man
ner that foreshadows such a conclusion.
Still, the season may be tided over
without this recourse. The fact that
the dearth of money 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.

serves. The London money markets
loans in Germany are being called
home. The liquidation in Germany
seems to be going on safely enough
but the London Withdrawals keep up
the Berlin money rate. Government
statistics both in Great Britain, Ger
many and France show large expan-
sion of trade SO that in spite of the re-
Punishment of banking reserves going
on at all three centers there is increas-
ing employment for money. In these
circumstances the foreign money mar
kets have shown themselves very SEN
sitive to the heavy downward tendency
of both sterling and continental ex-
change at New YGk based on offerings
Of exchange bills in the market against
coming shipments OF grain. Evidently
it has entered into the calculations or
foreign financiers that money would
be SO abundant in this country that we
could afford to lend the credits estab-
ilSned by our export movement OF mer-
cnandise. The low state Of New York
banks reserves arouse some anxiety as
to whether it will not be necessary to
call home our credits which would
force sales of securities to avoid ship
ments hither of gold. New York
banks lost cash all through July and
only built up the surplus reserves by
a loan contraction amounting to over
100000 New York merchants are
selling their paper in other domestic
markets and New York waits With
some anxiety to know what demands
the interior will make upon it for
funds to move the crops. The activ-
ity in the bond market has been great
est in the speculative isue which have
advanced. Changes generally have
been small. U. S. IS, IS and new is
advanced &c in the bid price.
