 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. l.-Theres were no eabiea from Liverpool today, as that market lN closed to remain so untila Tuesday on ac- count of holiday. Trading in the American markets was inactive and fluctuations mar row pending the agricultural bureau report to Do issued Monday. Recent developments have xnrniehed no suitable key for solution of the main problems of the cotton market and the confusion of traders over the general situa- tion seems to have increased in stead of d. miniEhed, the old season draws to It's close The bull clique manifests no intention to re- linquish It's grasp on tho cotton accumulated through contract delivery except at a profit and continue operations at the prevailing level of values of raw cotton. have followed by viru- lent articles in some of the Northern com mereial journals, conforming the motive of the people who were Instrumental in estab- fishing high prices. It 's difficult to recon cile such vituperAtion with precise conditions. There IS no room for doubt that the supply of raw cotton Is less than the worlds uuirements and if an excessive supply enforces q depreciation In value, here is no urgent ex- case in this case. whay an obvious shortage enhancement. The level of price that might be suggested under such circumstances is difficult to determine. One reads about the restricted demand for manufactured goods and the absence Of anything like a prort for sptn- nees. but glance between the lines affords the impression that spinners have combined tn defeat the bull clique by the process of clos pre and are inclined to discourage active pur- ehases of goods by consumers, to relieve them Of the necessity of buying cotton from the bull clique. Thus the situation of manu- fractured goods may not be so deplorabie as represented. However, Investigation will doubtless show that stocks of goods in. hands of spnners reduced 10 minimum while she fact Is patent that the country is practi- caiiy drained of all cotton except what the bulls control There will probably be active conpetition for early receipts and the value of manufactured goods is likely to adjust it. self to such prospect Therefore any decline in the price of raw cotton calculated to d. minish confidence In the stability of prices for cotton goods will be more unsatisfactory for eplnners than if the existing value of new crop options is maintained. It is accordingly very probable that spnners will get busier tho season proceeds unless cotton is marketed in a reckless fashion indications point to an enormous yield. Preiudlces aside. 1t Is to De hoped that the new season will afford satis- factory profits for spinners. as it promises to fsrnish very remuneratve returns for the farmer At rate. all signs point to great activity in the cotton market and chances for nrodt seem reas 0nably safe at present in buy Ing on breaks and realizing moderate profits.

The Financier's Statement.

NEW YORK. Aug. I.--The Financier says:
 The only disappointing feature of the statement of the New York Associated Banks last week
 was. that in the previous week. the returns failed to reflect in the loan item the liquida- tion in the stock market, which was quite large at the end of the week ending July 18th. least of the last bank week and the repay
 ment of the loans made by the Pennsylvania
 Railroad Company during the week was not
 shown in the statement. Instead of an in- portant reduction in loans. as was confidently looked for, there was an increase of S964. 800. following a gain of SSS4, 200 in the previous week. making S I,S4e 900 for the fortnight
 The only reasonable explanation which cRn be made of this failure of the statement to show the expected decrease in loans is that the loan contracts which were liouidated the result of the unsettled stock market were replaced with the purchasers of stocks early last week and that the loans to the Pennsylvania Raii- road Company, which were repaid, were origi- nally effected with trust companies and in- stitutions other than the banks and therefore that their cancellation was not reflected in the bank statement The cash reserve showed the important increase of S7.0l4, 900 or Sl, 32o, POO less than the estimated gain which was based upon the traceable movements of money. This discrepancy may, however. be accounted for by the fact that on the last day of the bank week the assistant treasurer was credited at the clearing house Sl764, l43, caused by the payment through the banks to the treasury of Central Pacific note for S2,- e4O 635 and that this credit balance and the partially offsetting payment by the sub-treas- ury of S7OO, 900 on account Of the transfer or gold from San Francisco were not included in the estimates The deposits increased ST. 4so 800 which sum was S4es, 800 less than that call for by the gain of cash and the in- crease in loans. therefore the statement did not balance The required reserve against de- posits was increased Sl,S7o.22o; deductlng this sum from the gain in cash left S5, A. 675 as the increase in surplus reserve, which now stands at SPA o6o o75 against S27. ESQ., 775 Jan. 3I, which the highest of the year Computed upon the banks deposits. less those of S37. PSI, 400 public funds, the sur plus is S33. .3S0. .425. It is noteworthy that the deposits are See3, 200 in excess of loans, against an excess of the latter over deposits of s5 522. 900 in the previous week. The chaneN was effected almost wholly through the increase In deposits however

up before the bureau report. which is expected 70 Dc issued Monday. The New York Journal of Commerce and reports from private parties the July condition of cotton over that of June; therefore as the general average of the bureau on July srd was 77.I per cent, 1t is antici- pated that the next report will show general average condition of 7s9eo per cent. should the conditions. however. happen to he pracA ucally the same as last month, values will prooably improve; if 1t ranges from 70 to 30, the chances that it has been generally dis counted, but if 1t exceeds the above figures prices will. in all probability seek lower level
 While the uEdertone seems steady aud senti- ment continues buIiish. outsiders are apathetic owing to the weakening of the statistical po- sition. the nominal demand for spots and the favorable crop outlook: nevertheless as long as every one Is optimistic we think it advisable to buy only the late months on decided declines with view of taking profits on bulges.

 NEW YORK. Aug. i.-Rains of considerable pFopprtiDns were reported In the northern sec ton Of the cotton belt west of the river while inc Atlantic Saes had showers. The Chronicle weather ryports for the week stated that cor xfspoFdents generally reported an improvement D. the croA. but the rains were needed in the EAroylnas, Since that report was made up the CAEfiinas have received fine rains of any whfre from half inch to three inches and the' complaints are therefore a little antlqui- dnted. There Liverpool market today and as result the prices moved around rather laBguidly at the start without any im- portant change. At the opening there was a decline of a few points and later a slight recovery. There apparently more interest 5u what the Government report is to show on Monday than in the course of prices. Several holders were inclined to get out of their cot ton on the theory that the improvement might De greater than expeced. At the same time there was short covering on the opposite theory; between the two the market did not make very much progress. It will require a condition of above 90 to bring about much of q break in tho market and t hardly seems pos abin that the Government will fail to show a substantial improvement which will tend to prevent much of an advance Somewhere about 50 the condition will compare favorabiy. with last year and above that two years ago. Recent rains have so benefited the crop that Ii is doubtful whether the outlook for the last three seasons at this time could compare with xhe present promise.

.a \ NEW YORK. Aug. I.--Ini the Fort Smith district there was heavy rain today and more or less in other districts. but, in no instances heavy. The Chronicle report was of no special sgninc lnce while Bradstreet and Dun pub lished better crop accounts than heretofore. The latters Houston correspondent took the ground that the boil weevil danger might be- come . serious factor if rain did not cease. The Liverpool market today was closed and on this account New York business was on a small scade. The trade, was awaiting with no little anxiety the bureau report of Monday. showing the condition of the crop up to the 26th If 1t should indicate condition not over 30. the market may do better although there is feeling here and there that the crop Is possibly doing better than supposed. Neverthe- leas. prices from September on are very low compared to the present that it will take a very little scare to advance them materially. The market was 267 points lowe rat the open ing. Less interest was shown than for long while Changes after the opening were un- important with the total business of holiday character and the tone generally steady. Port receipts were estimated at 25o. against 2,60o last year.
