FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
CONDITIONS LITTLE CHANGED. HoIlowness of Market Demonstrated-
 Gains Wiped Out.


 New York. Aug. 5--The stock mar ket, while still narrow and professional today, reflected more aggressive mood on the part of that element ln adhered to with more determination and was not changed until the end of the day. The attitude assumed by the professional traders was based on 8 conviction that a large short interest remained uncovered and was in yul- nerable position through the cessation of urgent liquidation. The borrowing demand for stocks constituted the evil dence on which the traders relied for the belief in the Over-extended short interest. although the borrowing of stocks for delivery in recent markets has been under suspicion of a device of sellers of long stock to conceal their identity. It was not until the last half demonstrated the hollowness of the market and wiped out the previous gains
 News developments failed to show any marked alteration in conditions from those recently prevailing. Re- garding the corn crop, there has been @ marked decline of apprehension over the amount of damage done by the drouth. Buyers of stocks today on the floor of the stock exchange professed thet belief that the government crop report Monday will prove to be ia = vorable.
 
 conditions both for corn and cotton, and the bulls made use of the news to push the advance in stocks. The rise in the private discount rate in the London market raises the question whether opposition will be made to a further movement of gold from there to New York. The London Statist says of the situation:
 We can afford to be fairly liberal to the United States at the pres sent time. In fact, if we are not, a some what severe reaction in trade may occur in the states, and the reaction may give that country greater power to import gold than may be comfort able for other markets"
 Whatever the additional movement of gold from London may be, another enormous accretion of cash to New York bank reserves is indicated by the preliminary estimates of the weeks currency movement. Sub-treasury op- erations. which include payments for imported gold have supplied to the banks s6697. 900. while the inflow of cash from the interior will swell the aggregate to from s15-000,000 to ST. 0O0,OO0. There have been rumors of further private settlements of stock market accounts during the week. which may affect the loan item. but there is no expectation that the de- posit item will be sufficiently expand ed to prevent a large increase in the surplus reserve. The actual figure of the surplus in last Saturdays bank statement already stood at upwards of s47,000. 900.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $1,467 000. United States bonds were unchanged on call
