but through all the strain the banks of
New York passed without trouble, and
imports of gold have commenced. From
$1,000,000 to $8,000,000 in money has
been sent west every day, and a large
decrease in the bank reaorves is ex-
peoted, as the treasury has not been
aisturlied heavily. A few commercial
loans have been negotiated and at high
rates. In other cities the money mar-
kets have been quite close. Chicago
has drawn heavily ou New York, but in
that and other cities the bank state-
ments Indicate creditable soundness.
Grain rose briskly Monday, but all
speculative markets yielded a little
when tight money came and the slaugh-
ter of stock. Wheat closed about 1
cent lower, though western reoeipts
were Moderate. Corn was a fraction
lower and hog products were the same.
Cotton declined l-8c, though receipts
were a little larger and exports were
smaller than Ust year, but holders
show great stubbornuees In view of the
large stocks in sight and the closing of
many mills.
In other products no special change
is reported, though prices tend lower.
Many woolen factories are closing for
a month or more, or indefinitely, be-
cause orders are slack for a while.
Jobbers' orders are about as usual.
Clothiers still hold off. Fall trade Is
said not to be more than a third of the
usual amount, and many dealers ex-
pect to do no more than half the usual
spriag business.
Bales of wool last week were 2,140,-
000 pounds, against 8,145,700 pounds
last year, and for three and a half
months 47,540,788 pounds, against 86,-
9110,180 pounds last year.
Orders for boots and shoes are re-
stricted. Shipments from the cast are
12 per cent, less than for the same time
last year.
The Iron business grows less active.
Bar is weak and has been sold at $1.55.
Plates in demand and structural iron is
irregular with beam down to fl.80. Of
steel bars, 88,000 tons were sold to agri-
suit for $35,500.

charged with using stamps in purchas-

quantities to non-resident merchants at

salary of the office. The salary of th.-
postmistress at Cherry Valley is deter-
mined by t e amount of business in
stamps. C ampett is well known and
stands very well in his community.

Berlin. Aug. 1.—It is generally held
here that the tariff war etarted between
Russia and Germany is moz^jxeb'
r,4U*C damage former coutft'ry
than to the latter. It seems that Russia
in applying he maximum tariff ou Ger-
man products was mainly influenced by
the unfavorable early reports regarding
the harvest prospects in Germany.
These reports, it is said, led Rossi* to
believe that Germany, desiring Rus-
sian grain, of oours* would not retal-
liate for the imposition by Ruesia of
the highest tariff on imported German ,
product#. In this belief, however, eh*
was disappointed, as the prompt action
of th* Federal council in raising the
tariff on Russian products 50 per cent,
■hows that Germany is not dependent
upon Russian cereals es th* latter
country appeared to think. Had the
early crop reports turned out to hare
been correct the situation might hava
been different. Russia's belief wee
justifiable in tb* month of May, but tb*
considerations thro taken into account
by Russia do not bold now.
