 decrease, $3,SOS,5OO.
 New York, July S.--The Financier 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 movements of money during the week. indicated moder- ate gains in this item. The wide dis crepency between the estimated results of the cash changes and the condition as disclosed by the official statement seems to have been caused by gold exports and by larger transfers of cash to interior pUlHtS III payment OI July interest ana dividends than were shown by the trace able movements. The decrease in cash reserve was $5634,5 of which $3, 772, 800 consisted of specie. The latter included the $1 004,000 gold which was shipped to Paris on Thursday and $1G00,000, the aver l age of the previous weeks shipments which was brought over into last week. Deposits were decreased $7,733, 800, which amount was s2,3l1 200 less than the sum of the loss of cash and the contraction | in loans; wherefore, the statement was | technically out of proof.
 The required reserve was reduced by 1 $1, ,933, 40 as the result of the decrease in deposits; deducting this sum from the | loss of cash left s3,701 ,050 as the reduction | in surplus reserve to $7,457,S25. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of S11. .977, coo public funds, the surplus Is $10, : 953 225. Loans were contracted $4410 800 which seems to indicate that while 1t may have been large cancellations of temper ary loans for the payments of dividends and interest during the week and of de- posits previously made In anticipation of such disbursements, the syndicate bor- rowings partially offset these cancella- tions The daily average of bank clear ings for five days of the week was S425.- coo GOO or $120 900, 900 in excess of the aver age for the previous week: this gain was almost wholly due to the shifting of loans and to other operations incident to the semi-annual Interest and dividend pay ments Clearings on Saturday re1ecting Frlday's business, were $l1359. 49S; com rarisons of loans show that nine banks reduced this item by 74-5 millions net. Five banks lost three millions net cash.

COTTON WAREHOUSE BURNS IN MERIDIAN Between 4OO0 and 5000 Bales
 Are iDestrOyed LOSS MORE THAN S250,OOO About One-third of the Immense Gulf Compress Plant Is Destroyed.
 Company Will Probably Rebuild Soon.
LOSS MORE THAN S250,0O0

l Meridian, July S.--(Special.) 1.-The most
 disastrous fire that has been in Meridian l for many months occurred last night about midnight. when cotton in the in- l terior of the Gulf Express company plant were discovered to be on fire. The alarm was turned in and the fire company worked vigorously to save the plant. About one-third of the buildings were de- stroyed and this included the two presses
 and machinery, and also cotton ware rooms.
 It is estimated that between 4000 and 5000 bales of cotton were destroyed and badly damaged. The loss on cotton alone will aggregate s25O,00O, and the loss to the Com- press company on building and machinery Is estimated at not less than s5o000. Some
 thing near 15,O0O bales of cotton were stored in the ware-rooms but the east and west ends did not burn, which kept the loss from being much greater. The cot ton destroyed was stored by merchants and farmers, but was full covered by in- surance. as was the compress building and machinery
 It is impossible today to get an accurate statement of the losses and the amounts of losses by the different Ire insurance companies, much of the cotton owned by different parties being in different por- tions of the building, the greater portion of which was not burned. It is under stood that the company VIII rebuild as soon as possible. The origin of the fire is unknown. but is believed by many that 1t was carrier in by cotton stored yesterday afternoon by drays.
