When you purchase tea Or coffee at our store ask for a card explaining all about the pictures, then judge for yourself whether you want them or not. They are indestructl- ble, no glass to break, water. dust or sIedge hammer will not hurt them III the least. You can hang them up or we'll fit them out with easels. we will give you & beautiful medallion or any picture you bring to us. How ever, we reserve the right to refuse any picture of the things known as scahs, who are running the trolley cars; we have no time to spend on such excuses of mankind By the way, it's pretty near time the trolley strike was settled. Nobody knows better than the superintendent that the boys are worth $2.25 per day and that ten hours is long enough to work, but the boys have other demands which he doesn't like. Well, if that's the case, why the dickens doesn't he say: Boys, throY out the other provisions and well give you the pay and the hours. Of course, if he wants all the proyis- ions thrown out he might as well come into our store to try and buy pound of poor tea or coffee, which is impos- slble; impossible at

New York Bank Statement.
'DecreasA.

NEW YORK. Oct. I7.--The Financier says: The notable feature of the official statement of the New York Associated aBnks last week was the unexpected loss of S6o4, 400 in cash The estimates which were based upon the traceable movements of money during the week seemed almost unmistakably to indicate not only an increase of Sl.4iS.4oo in cash. but even a larger amount as the result of Fridays sub treasury operations. While there might have been some slight error in the calculation of loss on the inter-bank movement. the reports upon which the gains in cash. through receipts of new gold, the payments for redeemed bonds and the sub-treasury operations were computed from these items that the net results were ob- tained The discrepancy of S2. 900. 900 be- tween the estimated gain and the official loss cannot be accounted for on the theory of ay- rent decreased S4, 356. 900; this was prob ably the result of the liquidation in stocks early In the week and of subsequent contrac- ti0n of bank loans as a consequence of the depression fin the market for the greater part of the remainder of the week The deposits were reduced S5. S43 700. Gn amount S492 900 in excess of the sum of the decrease in loans and of the loss of cash hence the statement failed to prrve. The required was re- duced by SI ,4oo OPS. because of the diminished deposits and deductng from this sum the net loss of cash left sS56. l25 as the gain in surplus reserve to I7.43325o; this is nearly l2ooo. 900 greater than the surplus at the corresponding date last year. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of S37, 237 800 of public fundsA the surplus reserve is S26,- 742, 385.

The future price of cotton
 therefore, becomes more a question of natural supply and demand. Crop accounts continue very bad and prospects for an enhancement in values increase, but many conservative cotton men who are friendly to the staple contend that any material advance from the present level would in the long run prove boomerang to the producer as 1t will act as a check to consumption and cause an accumulation of stocks that would In reality bring about undue depression with the bulk of the crop on the producers hands.

NEW YORK. Oct. I7.-The cotton futures market opened today rather weak under scat tered selling for the account of professional room interests. The cables were rather diaap- pointing. but on the lower levels shorts were nervous. and before the day was very far gone there was better ruling of prices in conse- quence of the generous line of covering There was little buying which was traceable to bCl quarters in the South. but the clique in- tcit itsts were inclined to operate under cover Sr ,tlment in the latter part of the session was rather favor'hly inclined, but the buying was not very aggressive. Such development. how ever. natura in view of the sunday h. [ rval. The movement of cotton was Chly fair anl her e some disappointme.

The weather map continued to show rather low temperatures and such deveI- opment was not considered to be very favor able to late cotton and the prospects for a top crop were believed to be rather poor The short be of extensive proportions here and in Flu rope and the spot interests were credited with being quite bullish on the general situation. Liverpool and Liverpool representatives were buyers. The crop news was rather bullish in that some interests claimed that a crop of = 500. 900 bales could be considered a very heavy crop. On the other hand, 1t was figured that despite the high prices the consumption of American cotton this year will approximate 10. 260, 900 bales. On the close there was relatively grm feeling. but some of the bulls were disposed to proceed rather cautiously Port receipts today were 47.ooo, against 46,- 700 the same day last year.

The trade reports at the close of the week were rather mixed. The Chruni- cle's summary was of no importance The weekend showed no remarkable changes. The worlds visible supply rose from .43 oOOO to ! .946.O0o and the American from I,I23. 900 to i.34l 900. Stocks in Liverpool are still light The total at the close of the week was | | GOO. against 234. 900 last year There was nothing of importance in the weather news ex- cept that the temperature fell to 40 at Abl- lene. The general view is that the market will go to higher prices. The great majority of crop accounts continue bullishs The movement | next week is expected to be about the same as | last year.
