Dixon H. Lewis "Reminiscences.

Editor Advertiser:
 Seeing my esteemed friend the Hon. N. A Agee's letter about Dixon Hall Lewis's weight reminds me that when I was a very young boy there was large chair in our home In Tuscaloosa called the Dixon Hall Lewis chair. It was of tremendous di- mensions. and I remember that used to sit in this chair when I was boy and 1t was one of my favorite resorts. inquired why they called IL the Dixon Hall Lewis chair and my father replied that he had the chair made at Lynchs. prominent cabinet maker in those days in Tuscaloosa for his friend. MT Lewis who often visited his home and there was no chair of ordinary size large enough to accommodate MT. Lew is. wondered then as a boy how any man could ever fill such chair as this large piece of furniture in my fathers home. Of course. I cannot remember back as far as 1s44 when my friend. Mir. AKee was stu dent in the University of Alabama. as I did not happen to be in the world at that time. but do remember the big chair and what ever became of 1t am unable to state. for our family removed from Tuscaloosa after my mothers death. and do not remember what became of the biz Lewis Chair; hut do know that this chair was fin our home when I was a boy five or six years of axe. and that a good many years ago. as sure you.
 I always enjoy Mir. Agee's letters. and he is one of my best friends and neighbors. He is a man of high culture and extraordi- nary intelligence and one of the best read men I have ever known. His memory of things in the past is wonderful.

The higher grades Of hay are steadier. but the
lower grades continue dull and weak. The cireu
lar of Scott, Magner 4 Miller SAYS:
Arrivals of nay during the last week have
amounted to ZOO tons, the largest amount re-
great deal Of hay coming in by water. a feet
of boats is now engaged in moving that part OF
the crop which enters this market from the
bay shores coming by water. 1t is unusually
late in the season for this movement of hay 70
start, in former years much Of the hay from
these districts began TO be moved into San
Francisco at the earliest period OF the season.
The increase in arrivals during the last
10 DAYS has Deen oecasioned mainly by these
quantities coming by water, as the arrivals by
railroads have not increased to any large extent.
However. it must be known that arrivals by rail-
roads would have been heavier had the railroads
furnished the cars that shippers have been ask
ing for. At number OF points throughout the
hay sections the railroads have not been able 10
supply the increasing demand for cars for ship
ment to San Francisco. 1t Is to be expected
that these heavy arrivals must continue from
now on, to be able to accomplish the removal OF
all the hay still in the fields into the market IN
due time. In view of this situation. the market
this week has been heavy and dull. Former
prices We're not maintained as concessions were

WeeIkIy CIearing Honse Statement

NEW YORK Aug THE statement Of tbs

the banks hold 25.95O.6O0 more than the re.

reserve as compared with last week The state

deposits S26,3o6.S50. decrease SS,342. 500. The
percentage OF. actual reserve of the clearing
house banks 26.75.
The statement Of banks and trust companies of
greater New York not reporting to the clearing
house shows that these institutions have aggre-
gate deposits of 81 .412. $40. 600; total cash on
hand, $la2, IA, 100, and loans amounting to 81.
202. .3SS. 400.
The Financier will say: The statement of the
associated banks OF the city of New York for
the week ending August showed as a leading
feature a decrease OF S7,S49. 600 in cash. which
was accounted for principally through operations
with the subtreasury, the banks having lost
rather heavily in their dealings for the last six
days because of the heavy payments on account
Of the anticipatory customs payment. The state
ment, as a whole, however, is rendered rather
misleading so far comparisons aare concerned
by reason of the inclusion of figures of the Coal
and Iron national bank which as a new member
of the clearing house made its first report The
statement has been affected evidently through
the cause mentiond by the items of $500, 900
OF loans nearly 81 100000 of cash and So 600 900
of deposits reported by this bank. Since the in
crease of al the banks on Saturday In the mat
ter Of loans WAS only $3.0S 300. it is evident
that. excluding the Coal and Iron national the
other banks decreased their loans rather than in
creased them. The current statement showed
also decrease OF 50. .295. 700 in deposits and as
the deposits Of the Coal and Iron national are
even larger than the just mentioned there
must have been decrease ON the part of the
remaining institutions of at least twice the sum
reported In Saturdays statement. However the
statement as a whole showed that the reserve
on deposits fell $6.525.015. bringing the surplus
up TO S24, 1876. $50. The summary of state banks
and trust companies in greater New York not
reporting TO the New York clearing house showed
an increase of $2.027 200 in loans an Increase Of
about 81. 100000 in cash and increase in net
deposits OF SS.652 700.
