THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

4 fall in values at the opening of the stock
market yesterday was followed by a recovery
on the expectation of satisfactory bank state
ment and on drop of four cents in corn. which
was taken to imply that relief from the killing
heat believed to be hand. and, Incl
dentally. that probably the reports of DANA ge
TO this crop had been exaggerated The closing
was somewhat irregular, and generally at con-
cessions from the best prices of the day The
bank statement was much more favorable than
had been expected. A decrease of sd O01 500
in loans accompanied by decrease of S11,-
6910o0 in deposits, which, with increase of
So. .l15, 100 in cash, produced increase of ST.
597,S50 in the surplus reserve. The surplus re-
serve one week before stood at S5,211 ,525. The
fact that the banks gained in actual cash
showed that money flowing from the in
terror to this centre, and that low rates might
be counted on, for the present at least.
1t was. of course. the extensive liquidation
in stocks that brought about the contraction in
loans, and inasmuch the average system is
employed in making up the bank statement, the
condition of the banks was really much better
than appeared from the statement. The full ex-
tent of the reduction in loans not shown
and accordingly the increase in the surplus
serve materially greater than indicated
in the statement The presumption also that
the increase I'm cash not fully disclosed. 1t
was not the state of money which started the
selling movement in stocks, whereas it was the
liquidation in stocks which accomplished the
almost remarkable changes in the figures of the
banks. 1t is clear that if the marketing of
stocks continues there will be overabun-
dance of money. On the other hand, If the buy
ing of stocks should be resumed, IT is evident
that there will be ample funds available for
the requirements of the stock market. The mat
ter OF money is. therefore, for the time being,
not an untoward factor
The matter of the crops is more important.
The appearance of the government weekly
weather-crop report tomorrow is awaited with
unusual interest. 1t is relied to furnish a
fairly adequate idea of the injury that has been
done to corn and the other growing crops. The
unofficial reports have been very alarming. In
many instances they have been put forth with
q purpose. The official report it is surnsed
will be less pessimistic although it will inevita-
bly, disclose serious damage, some Of which may
be repaired by improved conditions. Peace was
said to have been restored among the Western
railroads. 1t believed that the most power
full financial interests would be enlisted to pre-
vent rate The outlook for a settlement
OF existing labor troubles seemed to be regarded
good.

more active stocks follows

FOREIGN EXCHANGES.

c. Schumacher & Co. said yesterday of the for
eign exchange market
The decline OF the last three days was not un-
expected. but we never expected that II would be
quite as rapid, since the actual supply of
cial bills too small to have had even the small
est share In IT, II is true that the supply in sight
against grain shipments during the next two
months is very large The decline. therefore. must
be attributed TO this expected large Increase the
supply Of this class Of bills. and II but natural
that our banks and bankers should o
handle this exchange by selling their sixty and
ninety day bills in advance. In addition to this
they offered their bills In very large amounts IN
anticipation Of the further decline expected later
on In the season OF such bills much more were
offered than our market could absorb than could
be readily discounted in London. The London dis
count market, in fact, rather limited at
present; more than have seen IL in several
years The discount rate has already advanced
there quarter of per cent during the week and
the outlook is for a further advance in the near
future In Germany. the discount is also a fraction
higher. and the financial condition OF that country
stil fraught with danger II Is noteworthy in
tns connection that in spite of our falling ex-
change market $4,000 gold shipped from here
to Germany, in addition $500 COO which was also
shpped 20 that country last week. Some parties
there evidently need Il very much being willing
70 pay the big price which our low exchange mar
ket compels them TO pay for 1t.

New York, Aug. 24.-All the London
papers publish articles on the objections
of the American patrons of the ST. Err

much discussed in the hotels, says The
Journal Englishmen theoretically side
with the negroes, while tho Americans
as a rule are outspoken the other way.
Bishop Gaines of Atlanta, Ga, one Of
the negro delegates to the ecumenical
conference, and who caused the protest,
is still at the hotel. He said in an in-
terview:
II have been staying at this hotel of

ROBBINS VICTORIOUS.
Comes Out the Impeachment Pro-
ceedings Unblemished.
INCIDENT is CLOSED
The Hawkins Substitute Was Adopted
and Then the House Refused
to Take Any Further. Ac.
ton In the Affair.

Austin, Aug. 24.-The Impeachment
resolution is buried beyond resurrection
and State Treasurer Robbins comes Oui
without a blemish. The proceeding
came to an end rather suddenly wher
the house refused to take any action
whatever. The majority of the house
voted to substitute the Hawkins resolu
ton for the original. The said majority
turned around and voted down the reso
luton as substituted. The Hawkins sub
stitute deprecated and condemned the
alleged violation of law, but expressed
confidence in Mr.. Robbins and declared
he should not be impeached. That sub
stitute was debated oil day Thursday.
Friday Mr.. Seabury announced during
the course of his remarks that the
Hawkins substitute would be withdrawn
and in lieu of it another substitute
would be offered, the effect of which was
TO condemn the practice which had been
observed by the treasurer as unsafe by
declaring it illegal.
Mr.. Henderson of Lamar objected to
this substitution, whereupon Mr.. Sea.
bury had the new substitute read al
part of his remarks The inference was
that an attempt would be made to gel
it in as the substitute later, but no such
attempt was made.
In the afternoon came the governor
message, showing that there were plans
on foot to reorganize the suspended
bank. Finally, late in the evening, the
oratory was checked and the voting
commenced. The Hawkins substitute
was put mp 1t was substituted for the
original resolution by a vote of So to Al
