GRAIN Avn PROVISIONS.

Chicago. June Wheat took a
strong grip on the market early and
worked it's prices somewhat higher on
cables and fears of wet harvests. In
France the harvest is almost due, and
prices are advancing on an old prece-
dent that in former times wet weather
such as they are having, hurt the crop
much. Here there were plenty of bear
ish influences, but additional rains
after the already heavy downpours
started covering and a good support
Bulls argued that the present low
prices could be justified only on the
assumption that the yield was to be
exceptionally large.
There was very little selling pressure
on the market early and good buying
came from commission houses. July
opened IS to &c higher at 72Hd723s
and sold at 721s. Gradually the sup
port Of the larger interests were with
drawn, the report that cutting was
going on in the southern part Of this
state and wheat would be on the mar
ket within a week led to some selling.
and July slid off 10 71Bd72. After that
the market haggled narrowly with a
small upturn on liberal seabOard clear
ances of wheat and flour which
amounted to $4,000 bushels. The close
was firm, July &c up. at 721l.
Corn was dull, but firm Most Of the
day the crowd was guessing at the
attitude of the leaders. July closed

New York, June The Financier
says: The official statement Of the
New York associated banks for last
week showed a decrease Of $3.50 600 in
cash. instead of an increase of 1866, O01
as was estimated on the basis Of the
tTaceable movements of money during
the week. The loans We're decreased
81, 325, OO0 This change was expected "a
the result of the light business on the
exchange during the week and because
of important syndicate operations and
of the distribution of dividends early
in the week, these payments causing
the liquidation of loans in which the
dividend money had been temporarily
employed. The deposits showed a de-
crease Of 81, $4,000. which amount very
closely agreed with the total, with the
decrease Of loans and of cash. The
required reserve was reduced $607 40.
which sum. deducted from the loss of
cash, leaves $643, 425 as the decrease in
surplus reserve. this item now stand
ing at ll,2S5,515, against S13,341.500 at
the corresponding date wear ago. The
average daily ciearings of the banks
last week was S207 600, 900. against S203, -
100000 in the previous week, indicating
but slight increase in the volume OF
business at this center. If this bust
ness shall continue small, as seems
likely to be the case in the near future,
the surplus Of the banks, though COM
paratively low. will doubtless be ample
for all requirements. Comparisons OF
changes Of loans by the principal down
town banks of the week show net loss
OF $500, coo. and the only notable losses
were by two institutions, one Of which
indicated a decrease Of 81, 100000 and
the other $500 600, The changes in
specie showed a net gain by six banks
of $5,10O.O00, one Of these having an in
crease Of $4,S0O,0O0 and another OF ST.
500 900.

Murphy s. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, July 3.-The main point
IN the early market to-day were the
Liverpool market which prices showed
a substantial gain at our opening,
presumably based on American ad-
vices of poor conditions in several
states outside of Texas and the an
nouncement of about 1, y inch rain
Atlanta, the presumption being that
other districts in the state had mois-
ture as well. This state according
TO the Government report for the week
was badly off for rain and the natural
conclusion was that another obstacle
to generally good crop conditions had
been overcome. In view of the three
days holiday ahead, however, the
early market was supported sufficient
~ to advance prices l to = points, but
uncertainty as. to the character of the
government report to be published
later on restricted business to very
moderate proportions. Spots advanced
l-16 at Liverpool to sd for mlddling.
Fixtures there about l higher and
quiet and steady. Scalpers had their
own way all the morning and there
was some Holiday evening up until
around noon when the good rains at
ten stations in Georgia unsettled the
market. The bureau figures, however,
of S4.7 against ISL last month and S1.5
last year caused a rapid rally, being
for below general expectation.

New Orleans, July 3.-Orleans-Liver-
pool advices We're more encouraging
than looked for, consequently our mar
ket opened 1 higher, declined 2 to
shortly after on realizing, but upon the
issuance of the bureau report, improv-
ed II to Is from the bottom as the
document was decidedly more unfavor-
able than expected. Near the close
values become easier, making the net
gain 8 points on near months and to
on late.
The bureau made the general aver
ageN condition S4.7 per cent, as COM
pared with 81. L per cent. last year, a
decrease of 1914 points from last month
whereas last year, the decrease was
only A of point. The trade anticipated
a condition ranging from 81 to 81 per
cent, because the statistician stated
Yesterday that the report would be
compiled to June rs. and would not in
clude subsequent rains. The most re-
markable part of the statement is a
condition of 70 for Texas, or loss OF
% points in month, and the winding
up of the same as follows:
1.-THE report is made up to June rs,
and no changes subsequent to that date
has been taken into account, the de-
partment'S statistical agent for Texas,
however, telegraphed last night that
the recent rains in that state has been
of little or no benefit to the crop, and
that a further deterioration may be
locked for unless there is more rain
by July To-
This does not agree with the weekly
report issued by the weather bureau on
July /, regarding Texas, which said:
Hot dry weather prevailed during
the first half Of the week, followed by
a Gulf storm and heavy to torrential
rains from the 26th to the 18th in
nearly all portions Of the state east of
the 9Sth meridian. Heaviest rainfall
1922 inches at Nacogdoches. Some
damage by wind and water, but i'm
provement in general crop conditions is
marked"
Every one knows that the recent
rains were general in Texas except in
q small portion of extreme southwest
and northwest sections, and were Of in
calculable benefit Therefore the above
remarks by bureau to-day are consid-
cred unwarranted.
Irrespective of this feature the report
on the whole was more unfavorable
than anticipated. and from now on the
