Receipts of hay were COS tons, including so
cars The situation showed no change. The
circular of Scott & Magner says:
Receipts Of hay on the San Francisco market
during the week just passed have amounted to
weeks.
Conditions the market have not changed
TO any marked extent. A larger proportion of
arrivals of late have been coming in on the
water and these round lots are being readily
absorbed by the vacant storage space available
in the city. The fields are being rapidly cleared
and all the hay will be taken care of within the
next few weeks. This condition win probably
plainly to be seen that a stronger feeling
Is developing. particularly on fancy quality, and

General conditions of trade in San Francisco

Weekly Clearing House Statement
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The statement of clear

The statement of banks and trust companies
OF greater New York, not members of the clear
ing house, shows that these institutions have
aggregate deposits of 81 obs $40 300; total cash
on hand, $9s,37e,7o 700, and loans amounting to
$911 ,307. 600.
The Financier will say:
Quite Unexpectedly, because the preliminary
estimates showed important gain in cash,
the bank statement Of last week indicated a
small actual increase in this item and the re-
serve decrease, though OF very moderate
sum. The comparatively slight increase in
cash cannot be accounted for by any move
ment by the trust companies. though these con-
Germs showed a gain of $4,500,O 900 in deposits.
The changes in reserve for the banks, however,
were traceable TO an Increase in their deposits,
thus augmenting the reserve requirements The
actual gain in cash 81, ,406, 500; the esti-
mates which were based upon the traceabie
movements of money called for an increase OF
about 81 600. 600. this though including a move
ment Of about So, 500, 900 of national bank notes
for redemption, which IL reckoned by the re-
mitting banks would count for the discrepancy.
Deposits increased $40, 104, 800 and therefore
serve requirements were augmented by
S252S, CPS; the reserve decreased Sl24, ,S25. 10
S57, lbs. $50. while computed upon the basis or
deposits less those Of So, ,226. 800 public funds,
there decrease Of s135,175, to $50, 49, 300;
loans increased SIS, ,62S. 100. The percentage Of
reserve to deposits shown by the average state
ment was 29.5 and by the actual figures %. 35;
state banks held 29.56 per cent Of cash re-
serves and trust companies 1851 per cent.
