| The Financier VIII say:
The statement of the New York asSo-
{ ciated banks for the week ending July IL
1 showed an increase of 81 ,65J. lOn In cash
and a gain of s.. 41S.OO0 in reserve to $50
o6'.92J. The statement OF averages. now
ever. indicated a loss of sa6S4.Ih and a
decrease of s1642. $50 in reserve to s47.0.;,
800; thus the report of actual conditions
/ reflected a recovery by the end of the
week in these items compared with those
reported in the average.
The most striking feature of the state
+ ment was an actual reduction of ST. 294, i0C
in public deposits. the result of surrenders
of such funds in anticipation of the ma
turity on July Ii of the Treasury call fo-
such surrender. Another important feat
ure was a reduction of $6,94S,4 400 cash
which was drawn from the banks by the
trust companies in order to comply with
I the requirements of the state law which
made necessary the augmentation by July
! of their cash reserve in vaults to 10
per cent of their deposits.
The above noted reductions in cash.
through compliance by the trust COM
panieS with cash reserve requirements.
will largely account for the decrease in
cash shown by the averages as above:
the gain in this cash item as indicated by
actual conditions was probably due to re-
celptS from the interior which were nearly
large enough to offset the transfer of
cash to trust companies; such receipts and
direct transfer of interior bank balances
with their correspondents. preparatory to
surrenders this week of public deposits for
account of these country repositories,
most likely offset the surrenders above
noted to s6.250.OOO of government funds
through the local banks. Bank loans in
creased s15913.4 400 while deposits We're
augmented $40. 700 100. Adding to the loans
the gain in cash caused the statement to
show a good proof
The percentage of reserve to deposits in
dictated by the actual conditions of the
banks was 2S97: such percentage of state
banks was 3206 and the cash reserve in
vaults of the trust companies was 90. 80
or within .O.44 of the statutory require
ment.

The falling off in the summer tonnage
Of bituminous and anthracite coal is a
marked feature of the railroad business
at this juncture. This is accounted for
in large part by the depression in manu-
featuring lines. which are using far less
coal than usual for steam making pur-
poses. In the anthracite coal trade it is
noted that there is a big falling off in
summer purchases of coal for winter sup
ply. Fewer people than usual are taking
advantage of the low prices that prevail
in June and July.
The iuggle In Amalgamated' and Smelt-
ers is transparent. There is nothing in
the trade situation TO justify the stock
market strength OF either of these special
ties. Particularly is this true Of Anal
gamated. II is well known that several

put copper on the market at Il cost of !!
cents per pound less than the big Standar re
Oil Company. There is a shrewd surmise
that the insiders of Amalgamated are en-
gagged in a widespread campaign of
stock distribution. and that they hope to
succeed by fragrant stock exchange manip-
ulation, aided by the free of their
selling machinery at home and abroad. 1t

large contracts with the Russian govern

siberian railroad and for the building of
other lines in connection herewith This
deal is said to have been practically ar
ranged by President Corey of the steel
trust, who has been in communication
with Russian representatives for several
weeks. the theater of negotiation being
Mr. Corey's fairy palace near Paris. 1t
will then be in order for the Bryan stump
speakers to set their megaDhones at work
to DANGEROUSLY inquire how much cheaper

than American customers

of the democratic campaign managers to
make the steel trust their special target
