New York, April 29.-The Financier says:
The official statement of the New York
Associated banks last week showed
great gamer of cash than was indicated
by the estimates which were based upon
the traceabe movements of money dur
ing the week; reasonably large contrac-
ton in loans considering the extensive
liquidation on the stock market and very
satisfactory increase in surplus reserve.
The cash gain was 1885, 200 or about one
million more than the estimated sum.
This discrepancy was, however, due to the
fact that the bank week included Friday
of last week. while the estimates record
ed movements on eight day and Friday of
the previous week which were embraced
in the bank return for that period. The
loans were contracted 50 392, 500, rejecting
in great part the cancellation of those on
stock cola teral due to the unsettling fall
in the securities market during the week:
the contraction from this cause must
have been much greater than that indi-
Gated by the statement, but it was doubt
less partly offset by loans to syndicates
or in connection with the New York city
bond emission. Deposited decreased So.

Chief Clerk Jesse c. Adams of the agri-

who spends much of his time on the road
in the planting season, rather thinks that
there has been an increase in some Sec

been overcome by slight falling off in

Judge j. NJ Carmichael of the state
convict board, who lives in Dale county,
says that in some sections of that part of

planted than last year. He is not at all

is satisfied that there Is as much in cot

A cotton merchant said his house had
kept up with the matter as well as pos

there was just as many acres in 1905 as in
1904. They were preparing for fully as
much.
A wholesale grocer said that the reports
to the house were such as to lead them to
believe that in their trritory the crop
would be set for as much as year ago.
Another cotton merchant said that his
house was of the opinion that there would
be no appreciate difference in this and

There is a prospect of a smaller crop in
