The Fiuancier's Statement.

NEW YORK Nov 2s.-The Finaneier this week says: The most striking feature of the official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week and that which chiefly at tracted attention was the important increase of S2,2l3,e6o in surplus reserve. This re- suited from the gain of S76S, 500 In cash and the reduction of S5, 78 400 in deposits through which the reserve requirements were diminished by Sl ,445, $50. which sum added to the gainn in cash made the above noted increase of S2,- 2l3,S59 in surplus reserve to S6. 25, 200; col culated upon the basis of deposits less those of SS6, sos. 700 of public funds, the surplus Is SIS. 327. 625. There was decrease of S6.- 394, 500 in loans, which. 1t may be noted leaves this item only S9, l97 coo above the minimum of the year. specie, legal tenders and deposits are at the lowest of the year. The reduction in loans last week not unex- pected, for there more or less contraction as the result of that stock market liquidation and also because of a desire by some of the banks to augment their percentages of reserve to deposits. The gain in cash was smaller by Sl ,99 900 than that which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements of money during the week. This is probably &C., counted for by the fact that the imports of SS. $50, 800 gold shown in the estimates were not made fully available because of necessary delay in payments therefor by the assay of flee since the statement was made on rising averages for cash In this connection 1t is noteworthy that has been shown during the fortnight the direct drain of money from the banks to the West and the South is at an end and hereafter we may look for return movement in some volume, especially from the former section. Moreover about S3 500, 900 gold Is already in transit from London to ar rive this week and S2. 500 900 more will be shipped hlther on its arrival at the British capital from South Africa. The bank state ment showed a good balance last week, the sum of the decrease in loans. less the gain in total deposits. The daily average of bank clearinBs last week was SC, 900, 900 in excess of that of the previous week, indicating aug mented business. Circulation showed the small gain of Sl3,4oo and the public deposits were SS GOO higher than those of the previous week; then they were at the lowest of the year Comparisons of item of loans show that four of the larger banks had a net decrease of S3.- 800. 900. In the item of cash five banks indi- cate a net gain of Sl 300, 900.

Q. F. P.e1oe . oo,s bottom Isttsr.

LIVERPOOL Nov 2e.-Liverpool's action today indicated absolute indifference to the course of statistics. Calls for actual cotton by spinners induced presumably by a better condition of business in Manchester sufficed to create a miniature stalppede amongst shorts and instead of expected decline, prices were sent in the upward direction with con- siderable energy. Trading here was fairly tTacted large selling orders to even up long contracts pending the bureau report 1publica- tion. but the demand from various sources was exceedingly liberal and firm tone was main tained throughout the session. There Is little to be added at. present to our previous re- marks about the general situation. The Gov ernment's crop estimate to be published on Thursday of next week is the absorbing fea- ture. and its deliverRnce will very possibly give the plariet a decided impetus in either direction. There is no telling how great the shock will be and for that reason it will be best to sail On an even keel until tho nature of the shock is known.

tBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee e Col
 NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-LiverpooI Is stiI the strong market, If you will go back to the Fall of 1899 on the small crop of that year you will find very much the same kind of . maEiEek, We often Jagged behind here. but prices went up in the big exports and the iiEmnass of spot markets tn the South. Liv- efpooi was the bull factor all that Fall and prices worked up rapidly between -Thanksgiy- fng and Christmas. As long as Liverpool keeps strong, there will be no chance Of a set- back here We do not look for any before the GoyaEapent report at any rate. Next week wa haRe both the census and. the usual Dec. 3rd estimate by the Department of Agriculture. Those reports are expected to be bullish Upon the degree of this bulishness will depsdd the next move in prices. We continue to believe the cotton eFpp almost . disaster and we ex- pect much higher prices later on. But we be- M eve5ust as firmly in. the adrisability of taking profits on these upturns and evening up pretty well before the bureau report. That polio yalways pays in the long run and losses made the other way are some times heavy. There 10 nothing in the cotton situation to make one sell cotton short. Avoid that side by all means. The crop movement promises to be ahead of last year by Dec. IS.

A. B. Baxter & co's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. Nov. 2e.-Liyerpool reported q higher .inarket today by sos points and the local trade was consequently encouraged except where big crop estimates are adhered to and those are few. People who have studied the situation closely and the crep Is small one. Receipts are now large. It Is true. but after tine close of the year they will fall oR maieri- aily. The two bureau reports due next week are bound to be very buiIish It Is expected that the bears as usual will hoop-hoop the figures and try to prove that they point to an enormous crop, but sellers are getting mere and more nervous and such tactics will not avail much. The world will have to get along with a moderate yield as best 1t can and the only remedy for spin51ers Is to i'll up now or pay more later on. Liverpool stocks are gaining slowly. Even when they will equal last year they will stiti ba moderate. shorts covered freely when the market opened and not much cotton was for sale. Port re- eeipts were estimated at 7b.ooo. against 65.- 900 last year. There was large buying by the New HeEk bull leaders of last Spring. stop orders were plentiful. Next weeks move mehf is not expected to be ahead of last year by more than 10 per cent. and the New York stock fails to Galn much.

In behalf Of the minority He said =

the mistake and that never in his life

Up by saying Now gentlemen what
more do you want Of your chaplain?'
Mr.. Morris on behalf Of the minority
accepted the apology and the chaplain
