Mail reports from New York say: nterest was shown in press dispatches m Cooperstown reporting extensive damage in that section Friday evening by a gevere wind and hail storm. No private advice however, were reported veceived. Telegraph es were received from Salem, Or., report- t the crop outlook on the coast was fa- ady 3 en of a yield of 000 bales for Cali- for Washington, or a bales, which, added to a crop ales in New York State, makes a ¢ 212,000 bales. The same report also that about 40,000 bales were under con- % bales in Califgrnia and es in Washington, 0 the coast vet to be marketed. The arket was reported firm but quiet at hanged prices. Mell “advices from London, dated July 16, gay: ““We think a fair estimate for this year's 400,000 to 450,000 hundredweight Fhte, with last vears big yield, will warrant prices from S0s to 112s per cwt.”” These prices £qual 14%@22c per pound f. o. b. New York. The Lumber Trade. Pacific Coast Wood and Iron says: “*The condition of the local and coast lumber markets is of the best and excellent prices are ruling for all grades and descriptions. The mills have all they can attend to and the de- mand promises to be greater as the close of the year approaches. Local San Francisco build- ing is very active, but unfortunately there seems to be tendency to cut prices in certain directions should be stopped, as it is de- plorable. Retailers are at this moment taking orders for lumber at prices which are ludi- crous, simply because they are being plaved the one against the other and then zli of them sgainst the manufacturer. If the companies, firms and individuals connected with the lum- ber trade of this and other coast cities would display just e little almost human intelligence | would readily see that by carefully and maintaining prices they could secure jers just as well at the higher rates. they bonestly their Market prices have been mormal, as far as | the price lists are concerned, and the building demand is better than that of the month b fore. Redwood and pine are equally in deman while shingles are being rushed into this mar ket in order to keep up With the demand. Redwood shingles rule in Chicago at $3, with the demand increasing. During the past month there have been no advances to speak of, and | the whole tenor of the lumber trade circles of this city and of the State and coast generally | 18 of the best, if the dealers and manufacturers will only maintain prices.” .

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Semi-stagnation pre- vailed in to-day's stock market, and only a This week there has been a check to the growing disposition to buy stocks which was carrying prices upward throughout the list, Various factors have intervened which might | serve as an explanation of this check, but the | facilitate other advances and take on fresh holdings of stock at the decline. Such move- ments are Incidents of all professional bull op- erations. The market has not yielded to acute Weakness at any time, and there have been sustaining points of strength at all times in the form of advances in special stocks due to individual causes, undertone is indicated by the fact that as prices receded the activity of the market has diminished, showing that holders have with- held offeringe of stocks at the lower price levels. Last Saturday's bank statement was a predisposing cause for the taking of profits at the opening of the week.

Associated Banks’ Statement. 4 # NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The statement of the Assoclated Banks for the week ending to-day chows: Loans, $919,677,600; increase, $6,377,- 100. Deposits, $95 ; increase, $5,048,- Reserve, $253,024,400; decrease, §$502,200. Re- | serve required, $239,286,375; increase, $1,262,- ! 075. Surplus, $13,178,125; decreasé, §1,764,275. The Financier sa: The officlal statement of the New York assoclated banks last week showed a net decrease of $302,200 in cash, there being a loss in specle of $692,700, and 4 gain In legal tenders of $190,500. The trace- able movement of money durnig the weelk in- dicated a decrease of §1,038,200 cash. ‘The dis- crepancy between the est.mated and the actual ! loss, as reported in the official statement, was most likely due to the fact that the indirect withdrawals on Monday of the $3,706,000 gold for shipment to Europe on the following day counted under the average system for five days, or practically for the entire week, while | the withdrawals of §1,100,000 gold on Wednes- day for export counted for but three days; the payment through the banks to the Sub-Treas- ury of $1,065,000 on Thursday, on accopnt of | the settlement of Central Pacific indebtédness, | counted for but one day, or one-sixth of (hé amount. Thercfore, instead of 4 loss to the | banks of §5,868,000, through gold exports and | the Central Pacific payment, the average loss | was but $i36,000, thus accounting for the | £1,000,000 difference between the estimated and | the actnal loss of cash. Loans were increased i during the week $6,537.100, probably reflecting ordinary business. The deposits were increased 5,048,300, which amount is $826,400 less than that called for by the increase in loans, less | the loss in cash; the statement is, therefore, | The reserve réquirements | | | rot far from proof. were increased $1,262,075 through the augment- ed depesits which sum, added to the loss of cash, makes $1,764,275 as the decrease in sur- plus’ reserve; this " item is now $13,7138,125, | against $22.165,350 at the corresponding date last vear. The statement was made on declin- ing average for cash, as above Indicated, and | the Lanks are probably somewhat. shorter in | this respect than appears by the returns. The | circulation was increased $186,400, or a little less than im the ious week. when the | amount was §185100. The daily average of bank clearings during_the week was $246,000,- 000, a falling off of §1,000,000 compared witn the previous week reflecting the smaller busi- réss in the stock market.
