NEW YORK, July 26—The weekly utate- ment of the Associated Banks shows: Loans $018,214,500, increase $0,967,200; de- posits $952,007,200, inerease $11,404,300; circu- lation $31,807,700, increase $188,100; legal tenders $70,390,100, increase $1,676,300; specie $174,126,600, increase $067,900; reserve $203,- 520,700, increase 3$2,044,200; reserve required $238,028,500, increase $2,851,075; surplus $15,- 502,400, decrease $206,875. The Financier says: The official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week showed a gain of hn.mh,.m in eash, an amount { T than that which ated R AR R e vt money during the week. The discrepancy may easily be accounted for on the theory that the statement of the previous week was made on rising averages for cash and also that the re- ceipts of money by the banks were the la in the latter part, while the withdrawals of gold for export to Europe were the greateat in the early vart of last week. The loans were increased $9,067,200, probably reflecting syn. cate operations of some im TR posits were increased by $11,404,800, and, in much as the gein In cash and the increase loans together called for augmented deposits of $12,611,400, the statement is technically out of proof by $1,207,100. The reserve requirements were increased $2,851,075 through the gain in Deducting $2,644,200 es 3206,875 as the decrease in surplus reserves, which now is $15,502,400, against §23,128,575 at the corresponding date a year ago. It is noteworthy that the gain in cash during the week was sufficient to almost exactly offset the loss to the banks, caused by the withdrawal of gold for export; this gain is cash was large- Iy due to net receipts from the interlor and to the proceeds of -assay office checks representing domestic gold and also bullion from the Yukon and other mines which had been deposited at Pacific Coast polnts. It will be observed tl bank note circulation increased $188,100 during the week against $32,400 in the previous week. There was remarkabie uniformity In the bank clearings representing the volume of business in this city, the dally average of such clearings being the same as that of the previous week— | §255,000,000. Comparing the changes in loans | by some of the larger banks, it appears - that saven of these institutions gained $7,700,000 net during the week: of these Seven one bank showed an_increase of $5,300,000. The changes in specie by seven banks indicate a zain of §700,000: one institution showed an Increase of | $3,000,000 and two decreases of $2,800,000 each. London Market.

M * CHICAGO, July 20.—Wild and jagged fluctu- ations in July new oats held speculators on ‘change spellbound to-day. In twenty minutes the cornered option slumped 16%c and in as many minutes more there was a rally of 12c. Blackboard figures of the day's work in the oats pit looked very sensational, yet the actual business in the pit was not very unusual. Ex- citement naturally ran high and this pit was the center of attraction to the board follow- irg. At the start there was rome weakness in both July and September options, influenced by increased receipts, fair weather (or at least weather fairer- than the general conditions of late) and expectations were that a heavy move: ment of oats to this center would begin next weel. It took only 25,000 bushels to knock July down 16c—and in fluctuations of 2c and 3¢ at a time at that, The slump came as a great surprise to all the pit crowd. Some had it that James Patten had settled his contracts of about 1,600,000 bushels with the shorts at some- thing near 70c, Others sald that cash houses had big consignments due here next week and were selling at the fancy price against them. Still others said the littie shorts were in and that the light selling was simply a feeler by the Patten clique to see What the effect would be on the market and on the shorts, It is consid- ered that the big shorts did not settle anything in the open market. Gossip had it, however, that nearly all the shorts covered. Mr. Pat. ten said he had made no settlements. Natural conditions were such as to warrant & good break in prices once the July deal was out of the way. Crop reports were exceptionally fa- vorable. Naturally all the deferred months felt the Influence of the seesaw. July opened %o up at 7lc on a little bidding. Prices sagged to 8o at once on offerings but did not begin the big slump until about mid-seseion, when July tell to 5Soc. The close ;was weak, 8ic under at Glc. Beptember opened a shade up to a shade down at 34%@Bic, broke to 323c and closed 1@1%c down. at ruled weak. Light contract grading and the rains in Nebraska had only a tem- porary bracing effect. Large recelpts in the Southwest started selling and closing out a good long line of July stuff caused a big drop in t option. The bearish senthment spread into gther “months and selling was goneral and heavy. At no time was thero good support to the failing market. The marked dperession both in oats and corn was additional cause for weakness and a weak close was the ro- sult. At no time after the start was the crowd inclined to follow the only real bullish incen- tive—low grading. This was too heavily off- set by the movement to market and by the de- moralized condition of the market for low- grade stuff. St Louls had over 300,000 bush- els to-day and Kansas City about 200,000. The latter point expects”over 300,000 bushels Mon- day. St Louis reported stuff on the tracks unsold. July opened l4c down at 780 and closed 2c lower at T4%c. ®September opened 14 i4c up on the early bullish news, slumped to cx’al'filfic and closed weak %@%c down at 713§ c. Corn prices melted away and ruled lower all day. With the manipulation of the markets so much in evidence as to-day it was needless to look outside for the explanation of the decline. July opened %o down at 66lic, =old to 6536 and closed weak, 2lgc down at €3c. The de- cline stopped on'the buying of a few ‘fives,’” Altogether the trading in July did not amount to more than 150,000 bushels. September closed wealk, 1o down at 59%c. Provisions after a steady opening on a firm hog market, weakened on general selling and lack of support. The grain jumble had some eftect, Trade was not large. Little interest ‘was shown in the business of this pit. Septem- ber pork closed 7%c down, lard 16c down and ribs 10c, off, The lehding futures ranged as follows: Open. High. Low.

It caused a stronger opening here, but later ~domestic conditions overcame its effect and the market is weak and lower. Large receipts and poor demand seem to be the controlling condition at the moment. There {8 an unliquidated in- terest in both sides of July wheat and there was some pressure on this option.

The advices say: ‘The reports we get from all the principal dis- tricts are that the cold weather has materially reduced the prospects for the coming crop. The acreage planted was in several sections a little larger than last vear, but wet spring and other causes have thinned out the growing vines considerably.
