These paymonU to 'M tho Sub-Treasury reprecont not only the m 6xcess ot funds held by the New York W",' banks on Oovornmont nccount Over the JL Oovornmont bonds furnished to secure United W States deposlls. but tho similar conditions . R With banks In other cities holillne Government flfy , funds. Bomowhat unoxpectodly the loan W. account In tho weekly-bank statement showed W laritoshrlnkauo.thn amount bhluu $4,007,000. m, ToHOtlior with tho roducllon in actual cash, IB thlel caused n decrease In doposlta of over lg $10,000,000. honce tho decrease in surplus Wfc reserves was only $8,3!)3.000. The bankrf still K held $43,012,000 In oxcess of tho lawful P requlromonts, but It Is probablo that flgi the surplus reserves will bo extensively M reduced durlne the next few weeks With the further payments on account JE of the Oovernmunt loan. Tho speoulatlvo W btddors for tho bonds, who unquestionably w coinpriso n large protortlon of the total, will jt, deslro to obtain their allotments as early as W possible in order to rcallzo the handsome profit &' accrued at the present prices for tho bonds, and if probably a vory small part ot the successful np- ' plkants will avail themselves of tho prlvlleeoof M paying for tho bonds In five leparate lnatall- fk' jnents offered in the Treasury's circular, W Those circumstances foreshadow an adranoa W In tho rates for money, which, however. Is un- 1$: ' jlkcly to bo ot moro than brief duration. The Iieavy Government disbursements on account if the war expenditures will, of course, relisvs the situation, whllo It is certain that any pro- K iounoed advance In tho rates for money would m treclpitato sold shipments to this country. In $. the opinion of competent authorities, the lm- 1 ort movement of cold will not, in ordinary clr- w ejumstnneo, bo dnferrod later than thn middle ' jk f AuKUBt, and with hltcher rates for money Ilp thoy would doubtleis bccln nt onco. The for- B' tlcn oxchaneo mnrket hus declined slowly but if steadily throughout tho week by reason of., tho jp tnalntonancc ot those international tradocondt- W. tlonswhlch mako up the momorablo record of the closed flenl ear. Tho exports of morcha.1-, lj. dlao. particularly ot cereals, eontlnuo in larce p tolumo. whllo thoimnortatlonsofforolcncoods fi ara ths smnllest for this bo.ison In ton years or v, inore. Tho week's shipments of wheat nsxrcP U rated L',30:t.4l!O bushels, ncainst 1.07H.828 Bp ' jWhels fortheeorrpnpondlncweokof lastyear, &' and the exports ot corn continue astonishingly J Iieavy. Tho week's shipments of that cereal ; amount to 2,822,12ft bushoKns compared with J, 2,208,570 bushels for tho sntuowookof 1807, It is Interesting to observe tho steady Increase Jn the exports of corn, the European consump tlou of which sooms to bo constantly lncreas- j ing. Thus tho exports of corn forthecorre- apondlng weeks in provlous years were as U. follows: In 1K1M. 250.000 bushels; In 1895. f,c; 770.000 bushels; in 1800. 1.2,000 bushels. Tho figures for this and last year are given jj. nbovc. I The statistics collected by tho mercantile ag'enclps and other authorities show little ao- tual diminution In buslnoss activity. There ;, has. of couo. been tho contraction incidental ; to tho season of the year, but Iho volume of tradowhen contrasted vIth tho some periods j' in other yenra t-liows genoral and widespread I activity. Thn payments through the Clearing ,. Itousos, which aro porhaps tho moit reliable j indications of tho stato of trade, were this '. 'Wook larcor by 4.5 V cent, than thoy wero '! Inst joar, and woro 10.0 ? cent, in excess j?, of tho figures of 1802. In tho first two W weeks of July thos liabilities involved Sf in tho business failures of tliat period & nmountod to S3.405.000, against $2,815,000 IsR Instycnr, but as compared with $9,214,000 in m 1K3 and $0,500,000 In 1805. Tho traffic re- 'B, turnH of tho railways aro In somo cases miffer- sW lng In comparison with last year on account JC of tho exeeedinjjly hoavy moement in grain & which was in progress thon, yet tho nggrcgato W earnings reported for tho llrst half of July are K 8.2 B cen. laraer than lat year and only 0 K. "9 cent, smaller than In 1802. 1& The dealings In tho htock market this week K have boen uiion au exceedingly limited scale. H. and tho provuiling midsummer dullness was m unbroken to-day. Tho trading In bonds, on the Bf other hand, has boon quite animated, partleu- i; larly slnco tho closingof the Bubscrlptlon to the HE Govornment loan, l'or tho weok tha total deal- f ' lngs In liouds havo aBcregat'cd a par value of ! $10,032,000. whllo tho dally avorago trnnsao- tlon in stocks has been only a littlo in excess et 140.000 shares. Notwithbtand- Ing the extromo dullness, prices hnv6 I been well maintained nnd tho technical l conditions of tho trading dlscloso on utter nb- eoncoof liquidation, which rondors futllo tho i! efforts of tho bearish room trailers to depress tho market. Iu tho earlier part of tho week ' epeoulativo Interost was well nigh monopolized bytho Industrial shares, but toward tho close fc thoro woro weluomo signs of Inoreislng inter- ' est in tho railway list. In to-day's market the r railway stocks wero In the lead of tho speculation. The NorthornPaeliloBharoa were 'm the features In respect of strength and aotlvlty TK and advanced on roports of tho settlement of Br" the Northwestern rato war. It is unrtorstood W that these roports uro as yet somewhat prema- M turo, but somo progress has been made toward K the desired end.
