United States Attorney Healing and his
assistant, Mr.. Lafollette, met privately and
discussed the case. The defense had about
decided to give up. and yesterday morning.
before court convened, Davis and his at
torneys concluded that the best policy

court.
Mr.. Chambers spoke for Davis. He said
his client had made good every dollar OF
the shortage in the bank, even to the i'm
poverishment of his family, but the law, it
was recognized. still held against him In
Judge Baker said 1.-The conduct of Da-
Wis after he gave up his place in the bank
was honorable and creditable, and will go a
long way in the mind of the court In consld-
ering the measurement of his punishment.
At the request of Mr.. Tharp, Judge Baker
gave consent TO Davis's being at liberty
under $1,000 bond until April s. when he is
to appear in court and receive sentence.

ment for Daviss offense is five years The
following citizens Of Washington are on his
bond: Austin E. Cabel, Robert A. Brown.
Charles F. Brown, Clinton K. Tharp and

badly under the influence of the liquor and
considerable time was spent in working

Murphy & Co.'S Gnc.D Cotton Letter

New York. July 26,--There was an adj
vance in the Liverpool cotton market to-
day which though slight indicated there
as here a belief that rally was in order
from the recent sharp depression. The
talk of excessive rains Is now INDUCED in
quite generally. and 1t looks as If bulls
will use this with some effect just as they
before used dry weather talk for helping
the cause. notwithstanding big rains in
Texas. it is claimed by the extreme bull
wing that they came too late to do much
good and that the crop there and else
where is so spotted as to render it beyond
possibility of reaching anything remark
able On the other hand, we hear claims
of a crop of no less than 12.00OOO0 If
weather conditions prove favorable be-
tween now and October is. Prices here
opened lower for September and Oc-
tober Other months were off to 8
points. Numerous Southern people here
were not so confident of an immense crop
as generally talked of. while the most
conservative concerns regard 1t as absurd
to calculate just now either on an inn
mense or very small crop. sharp rally
followed the opening on general buying
and something of a scare on big Texas
rains and forecast of further showers.
Some reports had 1t that considerable
damage had taken place.

The Financier's Statement.

New York. July 26-The Financier says:
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks for the week showed a
gain Of $2644 200 in cash. an amount $685.
800 greater than that which was estimat-
ed on the basis of the traceable move
ments of money during the week. The
discrepancy may easily be accounted for
on the theory that the statement of the
previous week was made on rising aver
ages for cash and also that the receipts
OF money by the banks were largest in
the latter part. while the withdrawals of
gold for export to Europe were greatest
were Increased 1885,. 200, probably reflect
ing syndicate operations of some inn
portance. Ghe deposits were Increased by
81, 800. and inasmuch as THE gain In
cash and the increase in loans together
called for augmented deposits of 81. gil. 400.
the statement is technically out of proof
by $1,207, 100. The reserve requirements
were increased S2,S51 ,075 through the gain
in deposits. Deducting therefrom tho ST.
so 200 increase in cash, leaves $206,S75 as
the decrease In surplus reserve. which
now is $15,502. 400 against s23, l2S57b at the
corresponding date year ago. IT, Is
noteworthy that the gain In cash during
the week was sufficient to- almost exact
ly Offset the loss to the banks caused by
the withdrawal Of gold for export; Tits
gain In cash was, as elsewhere noted,
largely due to net receipts from the inte-
rior. and to the proceeds OF assay office
also bullion from the Yukon and other
mines. which had been deposited at Pa
cific coast points. 1t will be observed
that bank note circulation increased $685.
100 during the week, against $50, 400 900 in
the previous week. There was remarka-
bic uniformity in the bank clearings, rep
resenting the volume of business in this
city, the daily average of such clearings
being the same as that of the previous
week. $3.50. 900. 900. Comparing the changes
in loans by some of the larger banks APP
pears that seven of these institutions
gained 49, 0,OOO net during the week; OF
these seven one bank indicates a net
gain of 800 600; one institution showed an
increase of 100000 and two decreases of
