'fin strike tl 1 drnxs nloiiK. nlthouRh the tnlMiikn mil tullure of Hhnffer and his follower aio foresonc conclusions, The outlook for the sto,ck market Is some what porplextnK. It Is certainly not so favorable as a year riKO. We are up iiKulnat a crop situation which, If not illseoiiraHK, i certainly Icsh eiicriurtiKlnt; than last jca . We are ns.iureil of Rood wheat and !iuy rrops. The former Is especially Important, for, owlns to the shortiiR-e In Kurope. we are sure of n booiI export demand at satis factory prices. This menus a birth decree of prosperity for the wheat urowlni; i-chIoh. good hauls for the railroads and a tuvor able effect upon our forelun trade balanej. This Ii thu best that can be said of tlu crop sltuatlor 1'rolotiKed drouth In some sections and too much rain In others luivo henn anything? but benellclal to crops In Kenernl. Tin- Injury to corn Is already tamlllar. Uite corn has shown great Im provement Murine the last three weeks and rrop estimates are being steadily rals -d, but It Is altogether too early yet to pliioa any tlxed reliance on estimates of yield, late corn being especially liable to frost damage. Trust nil Important If," .Should corn escape frost and the weather continue favorable the remainder of Ml1? season, wo might easily harvest a crop of l.liiO.lW.OW) to l,D0O,W),O(iO bushels, but Ilia frost possibility makes a very Important "If." Fortunately, the partial loss of the corn crop will prove In no si-nse a calamity, but In spite of favorable offsets It will en force economy among large numbers of farmers and of ticccs.-lty be a check upon blislnf ss activity. Its effects will bo le t among merchants, by the railroads and In the provision markets during the fall and winter months, rather than now. Another Important crop Is feeling adverse weather conditions, and that Is cotton. Too much rain In some sections and too little In other, Tixas, which raises botween one-qtmre. and one-third of the cotton crop, Ih suffer ing from a severe drouth and will certain y produce considerably lesj. cotton than last year The loss In this state (Texas) will lie partially offset by Inereased yield In other states, but the cotton trade Is fully reconciled to n smaller crop than hist yeir by several hundred thousand bales. The diminution of two such Important crops as corn and cotton cannot bo conslderod an element of prosperity even If higher prices largely compensate therefor. The countrv be likely to be prosperous In spots and backward elsewhere, Kxports to Kuropr. A good deal of talk Is heard about our prospective Inrgc exports to Kurope. Til's Is likely to be true an regards foodstuffs, which Kurope will be compelled to buy from us, hut as regards our manufactured products, which lutve become such an Im portant factor In our export trade. It should l remembered that both lCngland nud Clermany have been going through a period of' depression and lower prices, lessening their purchasing poweis and placing them In a better position for underselling us In foreign markets. The lower level of the foreign markets Is nlso likely to stimulate the shipments of merchandise to thin coun try, bonce the natural tend"ncy of our foreign trade would be toward smaller ex ports and larger Imports, or a gradual reduction of the abnormal trade balance which has been such u feature of our pros perity during tho Inst three or four years. Much, however, depends upon thu foreign demand for grain and cotton. General business continues In good condi tion and merchants generally anticipate a season equalling last year In volume. It Is noticeable, however, that very few expet to exceed last year nnd thero Is a whole some feeling of conservatism In mercantile circles, Hallroad prosperity seems to go on without Interruption. Oross earnings show steady gains In spite of the large lncroi'es of the thre and four previous years, Th s ! chlclly tho result of batter rates and shows the value of hnrmony to owners of railroad securities. Ah a matter of fact many of the roads are carrying n smaller tonnage than last year, but they are earn ing a fair profit as n result of reasonable nnd Rtablo rates, KffiM't of the Strike. We might have had a September boom had It not been for the a lversc effect ft the strike and the corn damage. These de stroyed all bullish outside tentlmeiit and left tho market entirely dependent up u Inside Hujipirt, which It has had In un mistakable fashion. There Is some talk that the big men Intend to put the market higher. With stocks ho closely held In their control It would be foolish to deny their ability to do so, Hut natural conditions are hardly In fu.-or of higher prlecH at th! time. In addition to the reasons cited above, tho money market Is likely to be a serious obstacle to any bull campaign. Tho reserve went down laHt Saturday to JlS.Ort). 000, compared with $23.(kiO,i a year hm, and Is likely to he entirely exhausted bef. ro the return movement begins In November Western banks have considerable deposits In the reserve centers, which they will soon draw upon for crop purposes. This week's statement will probably show a further decline In reserves, llankts seem perfectly confident of their ability to take care of ordinary crop and business le qulrements,, but any nctlvo speculation In stocks would rapidly produce a str.ngenev that would automatically Impede a b II market. All discussion of gold Imports and bond purchases Just now Is problematical. These resources might be available nud they might not. High prices would use up tho available supply of funds mori rapld'y than low price!). Taking nil the facts In'o consideration, natural conditions are not Just now In favor of higher prices Forced manipulation may raise the market to a higher level, but undir such conditions operations should be conducted with un usual care and wo should udvlso selling on the rallies, WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT Cnh In N'rtr York Institutions la l.nrirelr AfTretrd by Snb-Trru-ory Oprmtlnna.

Tho Financier says: The cash In tho banks last week was largely affected ny tho ordinary sub.treatury operations as woll an by tho Interior movement of money. The extraordinary operations of tho ittli -treasury consisted of thu payments lor $1,502,200 new gold on assay olllce checks, representing domestic bullion and deposits nt Pacific coaBt points, and the disburse ment of $.HS,6O0 for bonds nnd of $913,0 0 for pensions. Theso Items made n total of $2,703,700. Tho sub-treasury received from tho banks J1,S50,(HJ for transfer to the In terior, leaving $913,700 net gain to the banks on extruordlnnry operations. He celpts by the sub-treasury fof customs. In ternal revenue and other Items were $1S.. 921.000, while the disbursements to the banks for ordlnury purposes wero $11,305.20,', lo'ivlng an exocos of receipts over pay ments by tho sub-treasury of JI,82J,7iO. Tho banks shipped to th.i Interior, chiefly to Chicago, $5,99s,SU), exclusive of transfers, which are Included In thu above statement, nul tho banks received from the Interior Pk,395.300, leaving ns the net loss to tho tunkr. on this direct movement, $l,60l.5r0 Adding the net loss to tho banks of 13,710. 100 on sub-treasury operations, both ordi nary nnd extraordinary, makei the total loss nf cash by the banks for the wrek of $5,311,000. The bank returns showed a loss of $6,235,10il In cash. The loans wero expanded by $7,349,200, There was a dc crease of only $27,700 In deposits, whereas this should have benn shown an Increaso ot $1,111,100. The circulation gained $1,0)9,- fO, and the loss In surplus reserve wai 11.229,175, leaving this Item at 11,919.5.6. There was good evidence early last we k that some of the l,of.0 ensh which hud been sent to Philadelphia late In th- pre vious week had been returned to this city How much of this money came back, how ever, It Is dlttlcult to estimate, but to the extent that Jt was returned, the condi tion of banks ns regards cash was Im proved. It will be observed that the drain of money into the treasury from the hanks for customs nnd Internal tevenue wns nidta large last week, nnd this nvvemciit may continue Important In the near future. In Mich a case a concurrent movement to the Interior for crop purpose would very oo.i seriously reduce the surplus re.icrvts. It U true that the assistant treasurer hm been given authority to buy bonds to lib eral amounts, should they be offered, but Judging from the comparatively small ten ders of bond!, which were made last week relief to the market through bond pur chases, should relief bo needed, will lie iiulte unaffcctlve. Any material advnn-:o In rates for money as tho results would In almost certain to cause such a fall In foreign exchange rates an to bring gold from Kurope. This would afford far more effective relief to the market than any other available method. I'orelun ;'liiiitu-lul, LONDON, Aug. .11. The demand for money today was smnll.

The supply fur tho week hus nut been at all heavy, a decrease noted as compared with the last two w'eekB and a marked falling oft as compared with the corresponding week of last year. The demand has been In good shape all tho week and as .1 re suit price's on anything at nil desirable In the way of killers have advanced quite sharply. A fair proportion of the receipts this week wero made up of cornfed steers, for which ,the demand wns exceptionally good. There were. In fact, not enough cattle to fill packers' orders and as a result thay paid higher prices In order to get them. For the week the advance amounts to fully 25c. Tho commoner kinds of course hnvo not Improved as much In nil cases, though thu shortage In the better grades has caused even the common kinds to sell readily at stronger prices. Cows and heifers have also advanced fully 25c and In .some cases the good to cholco kinds hnvo sold ut a greater premium than that, dinners have not advanced unite that much, but still they have also steadily Improved during tho 1 week and sellers nave nan little dltllculty in disposing of their holdings at very satisfactory prices. Good bulls hnvo commanded strong prices, but the canning bulls wero Blow salo all the week and no more than steady with the closo of last week and Btugs of de sirable grades aro a little higher. Tho stocker and feeder market has not been In very good shape this week. Tho first of thu week speculators took hold In good shape In anticipation of a good de mand from the country, but the buyers tailed tn arrive In sulllclcnt numbers to tnko what was offered and as a result prices hnvo eased off '1 he best heavyweight feed ers nru not so much lower, but anything on tho ;ommonlsh order or stockers have taken a drop of fully 'i5e. Tho .latter part of tho week It was very dllllcult to sell ligtit stock ers nt uny price, us yard traders wero carrying n good many cattlo from day to day owing to thu light demand from tho country. What has been mi id of native cattlo will apply equally wll to western rangers. Heef steers nnd cows have advanced fully 55c for the week, while stockurs nre 25c lower. Good range butts are strong nnd common ones about steady. Stags tiro per haps selling a little better where the quality Is satisfactory and the samo Is true of veal calves, HOGS Thero wa not n heavy run of hogs hero todav and tho market opened fairly active and Atcady to strong, ns com pared with yesterday. Tho bulk of tho early sales wen from $6.10 to $6.15, with a few prime loads selling from $6.15 to $6.40. 'Die light stuff sold from $6.10 down. To ward the closo of the market packers did not seem to bu very nnxlous for supplies nnd ns a result thu close was slow and weak. Sellers were holding for tho morning bids, which made It rather inl- before tho hogs were tlnalK disposed of.
