The Financier will say:
The statement of the Associated Banks
of the city of New York for the week
ending July 81 showed very moderate
changes as compared with the previous
week. It had been anticipated that a
slight gain in cash would result from the
bank movement of the past six days,
but as a matter of fact the banks lost
ably not having counted the outward
shipment of money for crop purposes or
the Withdrawals Of cash on account OF
gold exports. The period has arrived
where 1t is only natural that the banks
of New York should show the effect OF
the crop movement.
For instance, the Canadian banks have
had an enormously large amount OF
money loaned on call in this city. and
part Of it at least will be required to
move the northwestern wheat crop. II
is hardly likely that gold exports will
figure much longer in the weekly bank
statement. While the clearing house
banks last week increased their loans
only $3.50, 400. the trust companies
669. 800, and the deposits of the latter in
situations rose $9,357 800 without any in
crease In cash.
The result Of the changes indicated in
the case of the clearing house banks re-
duced the reserve on deposits 81 ,463, $50
less to say, this is unusually large fol
this season Of the year, and the banks
enter into the crop-movement period iI
better shape than TOR many years past.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, July 31.-July wheat. which

terday. September closed Maac higher,
and the general tone of the market was
stronger. Corn and oats were steady;
provisions firm.
Final delivery Of wheat on July con-
tracts today was 100000 bushels. The
former bull leader took it and entered
the market as buyer of September op-
tions, basing his action on the strength
of the cash situation in the southwest.
Severe hail damage in a thirty mile ter
ritory northwest and sporadic black rust
reports combined to make the trade nerv-
GUS.
July corn starting weak failed to i'm
prove and closed 17sc under yesterday at

weakness, dropped to 65A, but recovered
on buying credited to country buyers,

The session was dull. Cash corn in the
sample market was Il to 112c lower, but
this had little effect on shipping demand.

Canadian Northwest Optimism.

The enthusiasm of Canadians over the
stupendous development in the far north
west is mighty impressive. Nine out of
ten Canadians one meets in New Yc-k,
and a great many of them are here on
business, talk as though they really be-
lieve that In the course of a few years the
Canadian northwest will raise wheat
enough to feed the world. They are
building railroads right up to the arctic
circle with which to carry these prodigious
prospective crops. The Saskatchewan
valley is going to be about the biggest
thing on the map and will make every
body rich who buys stock In any of the
they say.
The New York Central and Pennsyl-
vania railroads are showing renewed life
in their work upon the New York termi-
mails. The great cash in the ground
made by the Pennsylvania on 32d, 33d
and Bath streets west of 7th avenue. which
has defaced the landscape for the last
two years, is once more filling up with
an army OF workmen. Steel Orders are
going In place and it really begins to
look as though in the course of time a
mighty structure would take shape. The
Pennsylvania people expect to be run
ming passengers into Manhattan Island
before another year has elapsed.
One of the things which will soon con-
front railway arrangements Is the wages
of their million or more employees. BY
their own admission the railroads are
now making money everywhere, and 1t
will not be long before the exhibits put
out for Wall street consumption will be
taken advantage Of by workmen in the
shape of demands for larger percentage
of the earnings.
AS long as money can be obtained in
goodly volume for six months at 31a per
cent. there is no real danger of a slump
in the stock market. A good many OF
the big people who have gone with the
market on its great rise are undoubtedly
scaling down their holdings and taking
profits, but big public seems ever ready
to step In and assume the burden.

SMALL CHANCE OF
 LIFE FOR LEVY BOY
Little Hope for His Recovery Was Held Out bv Or. Wylie
 - Last Night.

That Maley Levy has little chance of recovery from h,s self-inflicted wound. accidentally caused while he was out hunting Wednesday. Is the statement made by Dr Win .Wylie last night about two hours after the boys right arm had been amputated. The boy was severely wounded in the arm. side and hip and. according to Dr. Wylie. gangrene had set in and amputation became necessary. The operation was performed at the Sis ters' hospital bv Dr. Wyiie. assisted by Drs Craig. Bell and Dysart.
 The case was at first under the care of Drs. Tafel and Bond. Dr. Tafel was asked for information in regard to the boys condition and said that he was no longer connected with the case.
 T thought the boy was getting along as well as could be expected ne said. -I had determined to operate this afternoon. as there was no pulse in the arm and the arteries were cut. was then informed that the case had been taken out of m.- hands. l do not know who has it now"
 The amputatiOn was made about x D. m The right arm was reRaoved about half way between the elbow and shoulder.

THE ST. LOUIS SAILORS.

The business men of St. Louis who arranged the trip of the President down the Mississippi were short on mathematics. Their procession of rner craft became utterly demOralized be- cause of their different rates Of speed Yet our admirals took our battle ships through all the seas of the world. al- ways in perfect alignment and at cor rectly maintained distances. The root of the problem seems obvious. It is necessary, only to know the speed of the slowest ships. That must be the limit of rate of progress for an entire fleet if it is to be kept together. But il appears that the land sailors of St. Louis adopted a different method. They added together the speed of the fastest and of the slowest boat and divided them by two, and then planned the itinerary according to the quotient. Perhaps, even yet these Missouri navi- gators have not discovered WEY their calculations did not anticipate the re- suit
