 Analysis of the latest national banking returns is far from reassur ing. in that it shows excessive loan expangion in nearly every part of the country.

The same clerk had for merlv stolen five dollars from Nunally and years afterward presented the merchant with a valuable COW to pay for it. In his letter he said he had forgotten about the gloves when he re- paid the other theft.

NEW YORK
 COTTON LETTER

New York. July 19.-The failure of the government to sustain the indict- ments obtained some weeks ago against several prominent cotton mer- chants created consternation among the bears who had been holding out in the hope of relief from this quarter and caused urgent short covering in the July and August optioes
 The interests in control of the spot situation here supplied cotton freely thus preventing any abnormal ad- ed it's intention to impanel another grand jury for the purpose of elimin- ating the defects of it's previous in- dictments, but the whole matter is regarded here as more or less of a fiZZle and is not expected to have any further effects on the market. The remaining short interest in the old crop options muT now either de- liver the cotton or cover their con- tIdCtS at pIlCSF.
 Weather conditions for the grow in gcrop were a little more favor able during the week than they had been for a month past, but were still unsatisfactory.
 In Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Eastern Arkansas and Georgia there has been altogether too much rain and reports of deterioration are gen. eral from these sections. In North and South Carolina the weather has been reasonably good for the past ten days and in Texas and Oklahoma there has not been enough rain to carry the crop through a prolonged dry spell, but there has been sufficient to keep it in good shape up to the present time.
 The trade has already begun to re- wise it's estimates of a big yield made earlier in the season and sentiment is becoming more bullish.
 Unless very favorable conditions prevail throughout the belt during the next few weeks these estimates must be further reduced,
 At present trade interests are holding off and watching the weather buying only moderately on the reac- tions. This attitude is of course very largely due to the stagnation III 'he dry goods business.
 More moisture in the Western sec' tion and clear, warm weather WILL occasional showers in the Easteii section are required to assure a gooe r;o,d and nnless these conditions art soon realized general buying ol .n' new crop options is expected 10 ue yelop and carry prices higher
