The F1nancier says this week:
The New York clearing house banks
and trust companies continue to gain
in cash. the increase for the current
week. according to the statement OF
actual conditions issued Saturday. hav-
ing been $6.O27. 900, which Is just about
what preliminary. estimates had fore
shadowed. The drastic liquidation in
the stock market was perhaps account
able more than anything else for the
reduction OF $23,621.OOO in loans This
item has decreased something like $85,
100000 within the last thirty days. The
decrease in deposits was not as large
as the changes In other items called for
having amounted to only %. 150, 600
This. however. lessened reserve re-
quirements by $2.OO0.0OO. and added to
the gain in cash brought about an in
crease in reserve of $3.50 400. the
excess reserve above the % per cent
minimum now standing at $35, ,432. $50.
The contraction in loans seems to have
been confined for, the most part to
banks proper, rather than to trust COM
panies. as the statement OF the latter
institutions. made independently to the
state banking department. showed a
decrease in loans of only $3.000.O0O.
The, statement OF the clearing house
banks based on averages did not diner
materially from the statement of actual
conditions, except that the increase In
reserve figured on the basis Of aver
ages amounted to about $1O.25O.0OO, the
excess standing at $31, ,797. 100.

Labor troubles in Great Britain has

by western railroad managers against
the demand of their workmen created
the impression that the trouble was

NEW ORLEANS, August 19.-Cotton
futures opened steady at decline of 3
to points. Liverpool futures were a
point or two better than due, but the
fact that no spot cotton at all was
traded in caused bears to become ag
gressive. The close was steady at a
net decline of to IA points. The
weather map favored neither side, as
the few rains in Texas, which were
the central belt, which were unfavora-
BILE. The decline of 35 centimes in
French rentes was taken as sign that
the Moroccan question was again COM
ing into prominence.
Toward the middle of the morning
shorts were very free buyers Of covers
to even UP commitments over the
week end, but the market was unable to
meet the demand, with the result that
almost a complete recovery In prices
took place. A little later strong bears
were heavy sellers on the expectation
of bearish foreign news Monday morn
ing. and the trading months were sent
0 to 13 points under yesterdays close.
The weather forecast for over Sunday
promised more or less rain for Texas
and the Carolinas and was generally
called favorable. The market closed

The strikes in England and reports
OF deterioration Of the grown cotton
crop were the two principak factors In
the situation this week. The strikes

Reports Of crop damage came in from

condition could arise TO cause more
dissatisfaction. and there is no tell

And. in this confession, there IS
a great lesson for organized labor,
In the first place, the lesson that
violence and terrorizing methods
should be doubly guarded against
that any who advocates Of toler-
ates such must be held in check or
driven from the unions. Then
again, it will teach the thousands
