Uses Three Methods to Pour Money
Into New York DepositOries.
Secretary of the Treasury Corteyou
again came to the rescue of the financial
situation in New York by triple appll-
ca ton of the resources of the Treasury
Department to prevent a dangerous panic.
He enlarged his recent insis lctions for
the deposit of customs receipts in regular
repositories to embrace the so-called sub
treasury cities so that the public deposits
in national banks i'll New York City will
be at once increased by about $4,000
600 from customs receipts alone. This
action was taken to facilitate the redemp-
ton of per cent bonds of 1907 and also
to render available additional funds for
the usual disbursements of the first of the
coming month.
Secretary Cortelyou also ordered the
anticipation of the quarter payments on
registered bonds of the per cent consols
of 1880 and the per cent funded loan
of 1907, and instructed subtreasury Off
Gals to cash the checks sent out We'd
nesday on presentation, or to cash on pre-
sentation any April coupons belonging to
the bonds of these two loans This inter-
est was not due until April and the or
der released approximately $4,0O0,000 in
addition to the $15,O00,O00 released by
the deposit of customs receipts.
Secretary Cortelyou's action with ref
erence to the deposits of customs receipts
and the anticipation of April interest re-
suited in Immediately relieving the money
market to the extent Of abou, $16,900,000
OF this amount $15,000.00o was deposited
in the depository banks in New York
City, for which government State, NUM-
cipal. approved railroad, Hawaiian, Phil
ippine and Porto Rican bonds We're ac-
cepted as security. About S1,9000OO has
been paid in interest to April on regis
tered and coupon bonds.

For country house bedrooms that are
furnished i'll colonial style no fabric
approaches more closely the old-time
dimity, of which our foremothers made
their bedspreads, than the fieece-lined
or other heavy striped or barred piques
found on the modern counter. These
materials are used by decorators who
are given carte blanche in carrying out
their schemes for bedspreads, bureau
and stand covers. etc. The edges of
all the pieces are scalloped and but

U. S BANIsHEs CUBA DISEASE.
Health of Troops Good as at Sta
fions at Home.

Much qualification is felt by Surgeon
General 0'Reilly over the continued good
health of the American troops in Cuba
and the excellent work the United States
medical officers have done in cleaning up
the entire island. During the six months
United States troops have been in Cuba,
there has been only one case of yellow
fever among them and on the whole their
general health has been remarkably good.
The health of the troops in Cuba has
been just as good as in a majority of the
Stations in this country. During the first
few weeks the 5000 odd American troops
in Cuba developed a few cases of typhoid
fever. but this disease has also been elm
mated. Unusual care is being taken by
the medical officers stationed in Cuba to
maintain the city and island in a sani-
tary condition

in four different places The largest one
is estimoted at 10000 miles in diameter,
the others being only 5000 or 10,0oJ

 A striking feature of the list Is the pre- dominance of textile and lumber plants

 shows four warehouse companies, one compress, two cotton gins and a cotton company. North Carolina and South Car olina each report new cotton mills with heavy capitalization. The state of Louis iana reports two lumber companies, one of which Is capitalized at s50o0oO, and saw mills and blaming mills are in the list from Alabama.

Foreign exchange here continued to decline today, however in spite of a rather easier tone in the Call loan market, and firmness in London and Berlin discounts
 The feature in the time loan market is the special urgency of the demand for the six-months period, which now carries over the first month in the new year. The quoted rate was to GA per cent on this maturity.
 The government report of the condition of cotton was again a disagreeable sur prise the improvement during July hay ing proved much less than was antlcipat- ed in the trade. The fact that some of the cotton carriers advanced on the report was attributed to the likelihood that shoit sellers in anticipation of the report were buying to cover.
 Copper was low again both in London and at the New York exchange.
 Not much was accomplished by tao days operations in stocks. The rise of the early part of the day was about all lost at one time, and then recovered in the last half hour on scanty dealings. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par valGc, s6SS ,0OO United States bonds were un" changed on call.

CROP CONDITION IS POOR

New York, Aug. 2.-The cotton market had quite sharp advance immediately following the publication of the govern ment crop report today, but lost most of the gain later with the close, barely steady al a net advance of points on August and of 7q11 points on later months. Sales were estimated at 50.O00 bales. The market opened steady at an advance of points to a decline of 1 point, which was about as due on the cables.
 Private reports of rain in the western belt, followed by the official forecast predicting cloudy weather to showers for that section, promoted some selling dur ing the morning, which was mostly for long account no doubt and prices worked off to av net decline of about 5aIS points during the early session. Later the mar Ret steadied and when the government report was published showing an aver age condition of only 75 per cent against S2.o per cent, the ten-year average, prices advanced to 1920 for October and 12 .35 Tor January, or about 30 points above the low level of the morning and 236l25 poirFs net higher but the bullish figures did not seem to be bringing In q great deal of out side support and the market eased off in the later trading under realizing.
 The trade had not been looking for an improvement in the average condition of the crop of less than { or per cent for the month and canvass made of eighty members of the trade yesterday showed an average expectation of T per cent, so that the official figures were consid cred very bu1lish but were probably modified to some extent by the improved weather review from the south.
 Receipts at the ports today, ss3 bales, against S90 last week and 31,3l4 last year. For the week, 5000 bales, against 7s53 last week and 29,970 last year.

MONEY SITUATION WEAK

New York, August 2.-The discourage. ment of the professional traders over the absence of outside interests in stocks re. suited today in a condition bordering on. Btagnation. Trading was practically idle at times and the professionals finding na satisfaction in scalpng profits from each other desisted from operations. There were no other noticeable operations out side of this class. London was preparing for holiday tomorrow which extends over Monday, so that conditions there were analogous and no assistance for this market was received from that quarter
 The forecast of the weeks currency movement gave warning of the unfavor- able factors at work in the money situa- ton. Yesterdays heavy credit balance of the sub-treasury at the clearing house on account of a Central Pacific note pay ment to the government extended the weeks loss of the banks to the gov ernment s3,2S1, GOO. This includes the gold shipment to France on Tuesday, for which payment was made at the sub-treasury but not the outgo to Canada, which amounted to nearly a million dollars The banks report that the currency movement with the interior is still in their favor, but the weeks gain from that source was probably less than a million dollars
 The resources of the United States treasury for relieving a possible money stringency this fall was brought to dt- tention by the monthly circulation of the .atonal City bank, which concludes that R working balance of $25, GOO to S9O 900, 000 in the treasury has been demonstrated to be ample. thus leaving si0,00 000 to $i5, O00,0O0 available for deposit with the banks in the present conditions of the treas ury.
