New York Financier's Statement.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The Financier says:
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks last week showed
gain Of $?0S0900 in the surplus reserve, as
computed on the basis of net deposits in
elusive of those of 1880. 900 public funds,
carrying this item to $5.60S.25O against
SIS. 465.775 at this date last year. The
surplus reserve, computed on the bases
of net deposits less those of the govern
ment increased 1912, $50 to $l5,59S 21O. The
loans decrease 81, 1877 100, probably reflect
Ing the closing out during the week OF
fiscal negotiations and also the paying
of of loans against the municipal se?uri-
ties which were exchanged by the govern
ment bond syndicate for the United States
issues sold to the treasury. The specie
Increased $1,T73SO0. while the legal t-iders
were augmented by S3,4OO making the
total gain of cash $1,777,200, 1t would APP
pear that only part of the average of A1.-
293 7s9 cash which was paid for the gov
eminent bonds at the sub-treasury on
Friday Is included in the above noted
gain. This average. for one day, was ST.
$40 29S and is as payments were made ever
the counter at the sub-treasury the pro-
ceeds of the bonds were made immediate
ly available. The fact of the payment,
however Is assurance that the bank state
ment was made up on decidedly rising
averages for cash and the remainder of
the amount of 81, 293 7S9 paid for bonds
on Friday and t4a $l,192,211 paid on Sat
urdaV together fth whatever sum may
he disbursed for b nds on Monday should
be reflected in the current weeks bank
statement. The net deposits including
those of the government were decreased
50 500 or 81, $4,000 more than the amount
called for by the loss of loans less the
gain of cash. One quite notable feature
was an increase of $l,7S3, 600 in circula-
ton rejecting the results of Secretary
ShaW's policy of substituting municipal
bonds for those of the government which
are held as pledge for public deposits and
The employment Of the released United
States bonds as security for circulation.
The average daily clearings OF the asso-
ciated banks for the week were S2Sl.-VOo,-
$50 against $Zs3. 900 900 in the previous
week Comparisons of loans show that
five banks decreased this item by SsOd-
900 net; one Of these banks Indicated re-
ductton Of $4,000 The comparisons OF
species show that i've banks gained 5000 =
90 net, one of which increased $5eO,0m.
The influence of the weeks payments for
United States bonds bought by the treas
ury may reasonably be looked Ior In
easier rates for money as the result OF
the expected Improvement in bank con-
ditions.

Electric Lights.

The plant Of the Madison Electric
Power Co. is now in full blast and the
streets Of the city az night present
very different appearance from that of
several weeks ago. Where once black
est darkness regned s now food Of
light. The arc lamps are OF the very
latest pattern and furnish light Of sew
eral hundred candle power The lamps
are those known as the enclosed arc, the
carbon being enclosed in a glass case
and this being again enclosed with the
outer globe.
Notwithstanding the brilliancy Of the
liGhta We are inclined to the opinion
that the lamps on the business thor
oughfares are too widely separated.
Especially 10 this the case on Range
street, the principal thoroughfare Of the
town. On this street are many large
shade trees and the foliage shuts out the
rays OF the light to a considerable ex.
tent 30 that the street ia not lighted al
it should be. With only two more
lights, one at the intersection Of Rut
ledge and the other at the intersection
of Base street, our town would bs al
well lighted as any Ia the State. W,
respectfully call the attention Of tn
city council TO this condition and sug
gest that they have lights placed a
these places.

The Financier,s Statement.

New York, Aug. 2.-The Financier says
this week: The official statement Of the
New York associated banks last week
showed a net decrease Of $500, 200 in cash,
there being a loss of specie of 1892, 700
and a gain in legal tenders of $685.
The traceable movement of money during
the week Indicated decrease of $l.5OS, 200
cash The discrepancy between the esti-
mated and the actual loss, as reported
in the official statement, was most likely
due to the fact that the indirect with
drawaIs on Monday of the S,796,0OO gold
for shipment to Europe on the following
day counted under the average system
for Ave days, or practically for the entire
week, while the Withdrawals of M.l0O0 900
gold on Wednesday for export on Thurs
day counted for three days. The pay
ment through the banks to the sub
treasury OF 81, O65 600 on Thursday on ac-
count of the settlement of Central Pacific
indebtedness, counted for but one day or
one-sixth of the amount. Therefore in
stead of loss to the bank of S. 1853 600
their gold exports and the Central Pacific
payment, the average loss was hut ST. 526-
600 thus accounting for the s., 100000 diff
ference between the estimated and the
actual loss of cash. Loans were increas-
ed during the week $6377, 100, probably
rejecting ordinary business The de-
posits were increased $5.04s 300 which
amount is $S26,SO0 less than that called
for by the increase in loans less the loss
in cash; the statement Is therefore not

New York. Aug 1.-The cotton market
oreped firm, with prices 3G9 points higher
and Immediately following the call con-
tinued to work upward on fairly active

easy shorts. The demand from the bear

in large blocks. The upward movement
gave no sign of wavering until August
had passed s.24c: October, lite, and jan
uary Tic. The South, commission houses
and the West were buyers of the distant
months. German interests and Philadel-
phia appeared to be quietly gathering in
August contracts. Europe was something
of a buyer here. The chief factor
prompting the buying was the fear that

murphy g Co.'S C1ne.) Cotton Letter


New York. Aug. 2.-There was nothing
special In the various trade advices at
hand today. and nothing of consequence
confronted the market at the opening
beyond press dispatches from Texas,
claiming that while cotton lands were
badly overlooked. the area thus affected
was so small. that insects had been
drowned out, and that more benefit than
harm had resulted from the excessive
rains of the past week, that the same
time local sentiment is SLOW in adopting
extreme views and there is more desire
to wait the Government figures on Mon
day as to the general condition which,
however, will unfortunately fail to en-
brace the situation up to the date of the
Texas floods.
The report is expected to show a good
Improvement over July for Texas and not
great change In the whole. but the Gov
eminent SO called experts have the fash
ion of Swinging surprises in the way OF
extreme figures and there is no telling
whether they will this month claim per
cent better or 10 per cent worse condi-
ton than last year. Many believe the
figures, no matter what, they may be,
will fall fiat on the market. Liverpool
was closed today and transactions were
light. The market closed to points
higher. The days business was good.
Ports today were $500. last year were
$500.

B. N. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.


New Orleans, Aug 2.-There was holi-
day in Liverpool for the benefit of bank
clerks, which was celebrated by all other
branches of business and no market re-
ports issued from that quarter today.
This holiday period will extend to Tues
day so that the English market will re-
main closed over Monday and enable
foreigners to give the Bureau report
close study before taking action. Trad
ing here was mostly of the regular Sat-
urday covering wherein shorts took the
prominent part, evidently fearing a shock
from the Government, notwithstanding
their convictions. and the result was a
fair improvement in prices. Closing quo
tations are to points higher than yes
terday. 1t now remains to be seen what
effect the Bureau will have on prevailing
ideas about the crop. Bearish sentiment
continues largely in the majority. based
on the belief that conditions are suffi.
GENTLY satisfactory at present for a large
yield and If the Bureau succeeds in
changing that view 1t will have accom-
plished a surprising task. Aside from
this feature, II would be interesting to
know in what manner the early receipts
will be cared for, and to what extent
spinners will have to effect engageme Mt
as developments in the spot department
will have considerable influence in shap-
ing values.
