Last weeks offcisl statement of the New

striking features less important de-
cresses IN cash and in reserve. carrying the
lstteF 10 about the lowest since June y. Con-
tributory 10 such reduction were increases in
loans and consequent augmentatiOns in deposits
The cash decrease was IN part accounted for
by shipments early in the week to Canada; the
Eubtreasury operations with banks, though dis
closing gains 10 the latter showed only small
increases The loan item itself was largely aug
mented. Il being probably affected by the
participation by New York banks in the Phila-
delphis loan negotiation and also by the trans
actions on the stock exchange incident to a
bull speculation. Compared with the highest
surplus Of the associated banks this year there
wes decrease shown in the weeks statement
OF two and half millions IN the average and
Of one and a half millions in the actual con-
ditions- Compiled upon deposits. less those OF

Hides, raIlou, Wool and Hops

Hop picking in the earlier districts of Califor-
mia Is about over and the result is disappont-
ment, for according to report decrease OF some
30 per cent from the estimated output is thus
far indicated. This may be overcome, however,
by the yield in the later districts. The weather
In Europe is unfayorable, and dispatch from
Maidstone. England says that excessively wet
weather, accompanied by a high wind, has COM
pletely ruined a large part of the kentish hop
crop. Thousands of piekers from London are
without food and their huts are flooded.
