NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Desplte the loss over $11,000,000 in cash to the treasury and of to of the Associated Banks shows a shrinkage of only $2,836,375, making the excess above the re- quirements $4,240,400. The statement in the | face of known facts must be regarded as fa- vorable, although the banks seem loaned to their limit. Loans have been contracted for $12,130,500. This, with the loss of $7,79,000 specie, 1educed the deposits $19,834,5(0, making a loss in this tem alone about' $40,000,000 in two weeks. than $18,000,000, but as showing the effect of the payments of new bonds on New York banks, it may be stated that the aggregate de- posits of the banks are now $65,000,000 lower than on July 16, while loans are actually $14,- 000,000 higher. This, of course, has resuited {n a heavy contraction of reserves, the loss in cash approximating between $36,000,000 and $57,- 000,000. “The principal causes which have led to this | drainage of reserves are now ending and fur- | ther trouble will be obviated by treasury op- erations. New York institutions have added | $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 public deposits within a | week. Only about $20,000.000 of the new bond | issue remains unpaid and this will be collected | in installments. On the other hand, gold im- | ports received or arranged amount of $7,000,- 000, exclusive of Australlan consignments, and the firm rate prevailing here has brought the | cash from surrounding cities. The net loss to the interior last week did not exceed 32,000,000, which Is very much under the average at this season, and the shipments will continue small for some time.

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—The Wheat situation had | no fresh light shed upon it by early cablegrams | or dispatches, but the market started at a slight Improvement for December delivery. September, however, showed a tendency in the opposite direction, and that becoming more pro- nounced It dragged the active option in its | wake. A factor which helped the market | somewhat at the start was the report that a | prominent business man of Ohio, who s now | traveling in Russia, had written to this coun- | | try that he had learned from a Russian official that the Wheat crop in the Volga District was a fallure, and that 80,000,000 bushels of Wheat from other parts of Russia would be required to feed the population of that province. The rank and flle of the speculative crowd was like the leaves of the aspen, which quiver even when the air is calm, and that supersensitive- ness was shown by the flutter in the market that attended the spreading of the oft-told tale | from the Volga. The Atlantic port clearances of Wheat and Flour for the day amounted to a | heavy aggregate, and that was the cause of con- siderable firmness in the market near the close. | Including clearances from New Orleans, Gal- | veston and Newport News, Wheat and Flour | amounted to 715,000 bush, September closed | unchanged and December %c higher. Corn wae dull, but firm. The initial up-turn was due_to moderate buying by commission houses. Prices held steady on a very dull trade | throughout the session and closed near the top | price of the day. December closed %c higher, Oats demonstrated their ability to follow Corn. Trading was light and nothing of im- May rose H@c. Provisions were firmer, but very qulet. Pack- ers were inclined to buy, and there was no pressure to sell. The feature of the day's trad- ing was the purchase of 1,300,006 pounds of ribs by a prominent packer. The general trade was iight, and the range of prices inconsequential. Pork' and ribs are unchanged and lard is 2ic higher. B “The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles— Open. High, Low. Close.

UNTRUTHFUL CLOCKS. ‘When I am traveling I never put the slightest confidence in a household clock. A hotel clock I can depend upon. There are too many watches in a hotel—good watches, watches whose absolute cor- rectness means money to the commer- cial man who regulates the traveling life of this country. A lylng clock would be spotted in a quarter of a second, and the unhappy clerk scourged with pitiless sarcasm therefor. In the course of my wanderings up and down this part of the globe I missed a few trains and lecture engagements by depending upon clocks in_the homes of my friends. Having thus pald for my lesson—fifteen or twenty thousand dollars, I think—by my own computation of the value of my lectures (set ahead a little bit, you know, it may be a trifle fast; I haven't time to look up the exact figures), I withdrew all my trust for mantel clocks, espe- clally the highly ornamented marble-and- gilt variety with silver bells or cathedral chimes.—Robert J.
