NEW YORK BANKS.
Last Weeks Statement Disappointing
Loss of Five Banks.

NEW YORK, July S.-The Financier this
week says:
Last weeks statement Of the New York
Associated Banks was disappointing in that
it showed heavy loss of cash, while the
preliminary estimates. which were based
upon the traceable movnent of money dur
ing the week, indicated great gains in this
item. The wide discrepancy between the
estimated results of the cash changes and
the condition as disclosed by the official
statement seems to have been caused by
good exports and by larger transfers of cash
to interior points in payment OF July inter-
est and dividends than were shown by the
traCeable movements.
This decrease in the cash reserve was
1914 600 of which S3.112. 800 consisted of
specie. The latter included the s1.OO4 800
gold which was shipped to Paris on Thurs
day. and 81 .G9O,Go0 the average of the
previous weeks shipments which was
brought over into the last week. Deposits
were decreased S.I33, 500. which amount
was s2,3ll.2O less than the sum of the
loss of cash and the contraction in loans.
therefore the statement was technically out
of proof.
The required reserve was reduced by
81 .933, $50 the result of the decrease in
deposits: deducting this sum from the loss
of cash left $3,I0l 900 as the reduction in
surplus reserve to 1851, SO. Computed
upon the basis of deposits less those OF sll,-
977 600 public funds, the surplus is s10,952.-
225
Loans were contracted S4.410J00, which
seems TO indicate that while there may
have been large cancellations of temporary
loans as the result of the payments of diVi-
dends and interest during the week, and of
deposits previously made in anticipation of
such disbursements, the syndicate borrow
ing partially Offset these cancellations.
The daily average of bank clearngs for
five days OF the week was $425 coo 900. or
$40 600 900 in excess of the average Cor the
previous week; this gain was almost wholly
due to the shifting of loans and to other
operations incident TO the semi-annual in
terest and dividend payments. The clear
ings on Saturday. rejecting Fridays bust
nessr We're $50, l69. 4sIS Comparisons OF
loans show that nine banks reduced this
item by S7,So0o00 net. Five banks lost
three millions net cash.

NEWS AND GOSSIP
FROM WALL STREET
BY w. G. NICHOLAS,

NE WORK. July S.-The stock market
is working very much like 1t did year
ago 1t is slowly creeping up, the only
difference apparently being that it stalts
from higher range. 1t is hard to find
good reasons. however why quotations
should not continue to RISE and there are
many reasons why should look for bet
ter prices. The year is now more than
half through and the outlook for generous
crops is bright The bumper yields which
were expected in some quarters may not
be REALIZED yet the grand aggregate will
undoubtedly be large. 1t has become evil
dent that the yield of cotton will be below
the promise of forty days ago, yet it will
be sufficient to make a huge addition to
the wealth of the south.
The world seems to be educated to the
acceptance of 10-cent cotton. the universal
demand for the staple and it's products be-
ing steadily on the increase. while produc-
ton appears to have limitations. OF the
cereal crops there will be enough wheat to
go around and something left over to sup
ply foreign demand. There will be 9OO.-
100000 bushel crop of oats, the big
gest hay crop on record and an unusu-
ally large yield of winter wheat Spring
wheat may fall below the average. and
probably will. The corn looks well, al

mates of results Bankers and specialists

doing a ecord-breaking business and are

Is turning and skilled labor finds active
employment at living wages There Is not
enough unskilled labor to meet the demand
and the tide of immigration cannot inflow

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. July S.-The cloth mar
ket was dull during the week. the recent
excitement in cotton having more than
ever restricted business. Buyer and sellers
say they prefer to wait until the situation
is clearer. and that period of rest will
give consuming eenters time to digest sup
plies already contracted for. Telegraphic
offers from India and China have ceased at
present quotations.
Lancashire generally was startled by the
report of the bureau of statistics and the
possible shortage in the cotton crop, be-
cause should the estimates prove correct
manufacturers with heavy order books and
having to pay increased price for cot

affected similarly. users taking only guam
titles sufficient for their absolute require
ments. Quotations were half penny dearer
on the week.

In their feverish haste to throw away fab

the echo of the patriotic discharge reached

erence to either the strenuous or the Equita

The value of the manual of local securi-
ties which has just been issued is evidently
appreciated by the public as the demand
from this source is great surprise to
MeSsrs. Hume and Thompson, the COM
pliers of the book.
A good part of the edition, which Is 800
copies. was of course taken by brokers,
VINO need the books in their business, and
besides they wanted to reward the enter
prise and industry of the compilerS. The
balance of the edition that was set aside TO
be sold to the public has been taken 20 a
remarkable degree.
1t is gratifying to know that the receipts
thus far have been sufficient to meet the
actual outlay and in addition to allow a
modest compensation for the time spent in
gathering the materials.
The ability and Industry with which the
latter has been done is evident. the new
manual contains more detailed Informal
lion about the various securities listed on
the exchange than has ever before been ac
cessible in such a convenient form. 1t is
not therefore so surprising after all that
there should be people outside of the bust
ness who want the book and are willing
TO pay for it. The growing Importance of
local securities and their value to investors
is never lost sight of and in consequence
the list of people interested in them is a
constantly expanding one.
At this time of the year one member Of
the exchange after the other is missed from
his accustomed place and after a while
he turns UP with a face bronZed and red
dened. and then his associates know. that
his annual vacation is over.
The number of peeled noses that will
adorn the daily meetings of the exchange
after awhile will only be equaled by the
number of the members of the board.

Carefully Managed Movement

INTHIS WEEKS CLOSING
REALIZING MOST CONSPICUOUS IN
READING AND U. P.
Cotton Market Was Excited, but Grain
Prices Inclined to React on
Weather Conditions.

NEW YORK July S-Tha Week in the
ftock exchange closed with a carefully
managed movement to realize. which was
facilitated by tie bidding up of prices here
and there at the opening. After the selling
had spent its force prices were marked up
again. leaving the last prices not far from
those Of last night.
The realizing was most conspicuous in
Reading and Union Pacific in which the
speculative opera tons have been the larg
est all the week. The demand for Reading
has been melted by proclaiming confidence
that the dividend on Central Railroad of
New Jersey was to be increased. with bene-
fit to Reading through its holdings of that
stock.
The action of the directors today in de-
claring only the regular dividend on Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey was calculated,
therefore. to induce some selling of Read
Ing.
The cotton market was excited again,
but the grain markets were inclined to
react on the favorable weather conditions

Ing was partly covered by marking up

Confidence in Money Resources.

The speculation is based fundamentally
on the confidence in the abundance of
money resources and on the assumption
nent in securities The sound conditions of
business. the prosperity of industries, good
c. ops and sustained activity of the iron
and steel trade were assumed in the incep
ton of the movement.
The large production of gold and the
progressive increase in the output are con-
tlnually cited as ground for a readjustment
