WEEKLY AVERAGES OF CLEARING HOUSE
OFFICIAL STATEMENT SHOWS GREATER LOSS OF CASH THAN WAS ESTIMATED FROM THE TRAcEABLE MOVEMENT.

New York. August 12-The statement of the averages of the clearing house banks of this city for the week shows:
 Loans. .$1, ,139,S91 400; decrease, s6,272.30O.
 Deposits s1,1s6.e 200; decrease, slo.467,- 100
 Circulation, s5o.467.5OO increase. s977.2 200.
 Legal tenders. SSS.1 .120.6OO; decrease, $l.- 220 200.
 Specie. s221.ss1 OOO decrease, $71s.sOo.
 Reserve. s309, ,511, 600; decrease, s1.9s3. 500.
 Reserve required. s2s6. .664SOO; decrease g, 616,775.
 Surplus, s12,S46sO0 increase, $6Ss.275
 Exclusive United States deposits, s14,- 962,700; increase. $6S2, ,5O0
 New York. August 12.-The Financier says:
 This weeks official statement of the New York Associated banks shows as one feature a greater loss of cash than was estimated from the traceable movements of money. This discrepancy was, however looked for because of evidence during the week of an indirect movement of money hence to the interior through operations incident to the transfer by country banks of excess collections of internal revenue which excess was paid over by the cor respondents III tnlS clty or these lnSt1tu- tions to the local sub-treasury out of their balances on deposits.
 Another feature of the bank statement was the decrease of S6, 272, 300 in loans which was probably due to the cancel lations influenced by the comparatively low surplus reserve and also for the req son that some Japanese money that had been loaned in this market was remitted to London. thus causing the paying off of loans of these funds. The loss of cash reported in the statement was $1.933, 800, and the reduction in reserve requirements caused by the decrease of $1O,467 100 in deposits was $2.616.775; deducting from this sum the loss of cash as above left s6S3,275 as the increase in the surplus reserve to $12s46,S00. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of s. 463, 500 public funds, the surplus is $l4.962.700. It is noteworthy that there was an increase of s977,200 in circulation, making for the fortnight gain in this item of $1 ,662. 900 The statement did not show a good bal ance, the sum of the decrease in loans and of the loss of cash less by $2,261 300 than the decrease in deposits.

No Fever in Atlanta.

The state health officer received tele- gram this morning from J. P. Kennedy. health officer of Atlanta, to the effect that there Is not a suspicious case of fever In Atlanta. The wire was in an- swer to one sent out last night by State Quarantine Inspector Brassell after it had been consistently rumored over the city that there were several cases in the Gate City. Others, friends of At lanta, wired last night for information and were told that it was without founda- ton. The report seems to have origi- mated with some of the railroad men who are said to have told of 1t after coming in from that city. The people of the whole south feel kindly to Atlanta for opening its doors to the fever refugees and would be sorry indeed if there should come any trouble to 1t as consequence.

Selma, August 12.-(Special. )-This morning at o'clock telephone alarm of fire called the department to the home of Officer Logan on Nance street. The house was discovered in flames which seemed to have caught on the roof. Just what started the fire is unknown, but while the roof was burning the family was able to move their effects, and not a great deal of loss resulted. The house was practically destroyed, although the department put out the flames before the sides fell in
 Big Crowd Attended.
 Selma is gradually acquiring a splendid park as. a resort on the outskirts of the city in Elkdale park Lately an im- mense coliseum has been erected with 6 high-grade skating floor and still later a lake has been dug and filled with water. There is no local brass band in the city, and the patronage would not justify the engaging of a band for the season to furnish music at the park, consequent ly when the Second Regiment band of Mississippi was brought to the city last night and a concert given at Ellldale, the city turned out en masse despite the rain that had made everything disagree able in the afternoon. Besides the oand concert there was a skating tournament in which A. A. Hudson won the prize, and there was an excellent exhibition of fancy skating by Mir and Mrs. George T. Rees. The announcement of the result was also made in a voting contest for the best and most popular lady skater. and Miss Katie Kelley was the lucky winner of the prize, a handsome pair of all aluminium skates.
 The affair was a great social success, as we'll as financial. and was participated in by large number of the social set of the city.
