FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
RAILROADS DEPRESSED. Crop Scare and Cotton Estimates Prove Disturbing Factors.

New York, Aug. 1.-Contrary to ex- pectations in some quarters the in tention of the government to deposit funds at points in the west and south west so aS to expedite the movement Of crops on securities values today In financial quarters the statement of the secretary of the treasury dealing with this matter was received with some resentment, there being a dis position to question the legal right of the authorities at Washington to accept commercial paper as collateral for federal deposits
 Other developments, including the first real "crop scare" of the season and the governments unfavorable es- innate for cotton were more disturb ing and far-reaching Advices, more or less authoritative, indicated further severe damage to corn by reason of the extended drought in the south west, and the cotton estimate was more than two points under that sub mitted a. few weeks ago though less the past decade. Corn options rose ecitedly at leading markets and shares Of roads in the south and southwest were correspondingly depressed.
 The movement spread until it em- braced practically all railroad groups. almost the sole exception being Balti- more & Ohio. Illinois Central fell lower than on the day of it's dividend reduction, while New York Central and some of it's allied lines, Atchison and Pennsylvania. all of which sub mitted adverse July reports. were un- der more or less pressure A sharp break in Mexican Railways 2nd pre- ferred called attention to the increas- ing financial enbarra ssments of the Mexican republic, with hints of an early suspension of fiscal obligations The reaction ran from one to two points, with no material change in the later dealings which were dull and circumscrfbed
 The local money market was prac- tically unchanged, save for a stiffening of ninety day accommodations. The general supply was lighter, with a de- crease of interior offerings. The cash movement indicated a gain for the week of about $4 500 000
 l. The general bond market was in- clined to yield with sharp declines in speculative issues. Government 2s and Panama 2s advanced 3-4 and Pan- ama/Ss IA on call. Total sales par value $1,300.00O.

, WHAT LONDON PAPERS SAY.
Daily Telegraph Draws One ConsoIa :
 tion From Tournament.

Commenting on the outcome of the Davis cup tennis matches, the London morning newspapers give the fullest credit to the Americans for a thoroughly deserved victory and to Maurice F. Mclaughlin for his spIen- did play. They then draw the moral that if Great Britain desires to hold her own in sports she must call youth to her aid.
 The Standard says McLoughlin's defeat of Charles P. Dixon was a triumph, stamina and activity of youth over experience and the skill of middle age. The Daily Telegraph, confessing that it was Cnly through IreIand's help that England won the cup at Melbourne, draws consolation from the fact that Mclaughlin, of Irish stock, achieved the victory for the United States. Most of the papers lament the death of youthful tennis talent in England and urge the advisa- bili5y Of cultivating henceforth what ever talent is available in the schools and the selection of young men for competing teams.
 The Daily Express adopts a de- spondent tone, saying: "Athletic con- tests are symptoms of national health and grit and the mOnOtOny of British defeat becomes depressing. We do not however, grudge the victory. Me Loughlin and Williams are two of the incest boys that ever crossed the At Iantic. and if we must be beaten let il be as it should be played"
 The Daily Chronicle says McLough- Hn's sudden irruptiOn into tennis has been as sensational as anything in the history of sport. and that if he main tains his form, it may be hard to dis lodge the United States from the championship for many years.
 The Daily Mail Iaments that Eng land was beaten at her own game, say

Grand Rapids. Mich. Aug, 1.-The most featureful, although not the speediest, races of the week were staged at the grand circuit meet here today. when the four events of Thurs days card. put over for day because of rain, were decided.
 Braden Direct, signalizing his first start of the season, won the free for all pacing event with little opposition in straight heats. The indisposition of Joe Patchen II. which precluded his starting in this race, detracted from its interest. Don Densmore was mild contender, Evelyn w. was consist ent third and Vernon Mckinney, the first heat

 heat while Grattan Royal, knocking his knees together through the failure of his "spreader' gear to work right, was distanced. Both Frank Bpgash and Leata J. broke on the turn into the stretch in the fourth and Footem Prince won with Cabel at his flank. Leata J. held the lead the entire route in the fifth heat. Then, with all but the double heat winners eliminated, the California mare raced Murphy's good gelding off his feet for the de- cision.
 Tommy Finch the Favorite.
 The 2.10 trot furnished three heat winners, with Tommy Finch, the fla vorite, finally prevailing. Owner George Castle, after driving the winner the first three heats, reIinquished his seat to Murphy, whose fine handling landed Finch in front the next two rounds though closely pressed by Baron Pen and Echomore.
 The meet will conclude tomorrow with the events originally scheduled for Friday. These are the 2.13 pace, POS trot and 2. 10 trot.
