Bankers' balances at the Stock Exchange have this week loaned at 2 and 8 per cent, averaging ab)ut 6.^ per cent. The demand has not been urgent, owing to the will accept other than gold, for in the present condition world's currency she wants that of the most of all and Furthermore, in this struggle we are weak, having undervalued gold by our forced silver will part with last. it very limited business in stocks, and the tendency has been^oward ease because of this fact and a consequent currency. As a result of it all, it will be noticed that The condition of the banks has imports of merchandise are increasing materially; and it pressure of balances. improved slightly by reason of the gold imports and is most likely that unless rates of interest should remain Treasury disbursements, but it has not so materially high in New York, that the receipts of gold will be in changed as to enable them to be at all liberal in accommodating their customers. None are ofiering money on call, even upon governments, while only a very few are discounting or buying commercial paper. This latter feature is in some measure restricting important branches of trade, merchants suspending purchases until returns can be received from maturing bills. It is now seen however that a measure of relief to the market is not long to be deferred. The drain to the West and South continues of course, though for crop purposes it is a little less urgent, and the Crovernment rev enue is increasing materially, so that the calls to cover these requirements are considerably larger than they were a year ago but the gold arrivals during the two weeks from Europe have now been about 4^ million dollars, and with the first of September the Treasury began its disbursements on account of bond calls, &c. On that day the 4 million dollar call issued July 19th matured the quarterly interest on the 4|- per cents amounting to $2,812,500 fell due the ordinaij heavy disbursements the last of August or first of September also began'; while payments on other called and presented bonds were made; ; ; Besides this there are about 4 millions gold now in transit from Europe to arrive this week, 10 millions called bonds mature September 1 5th, and the 1 million offer referred to below is also payable in amounts when presented up to that date. Altogether this should furnish funds lieve the pressure to a fair extent. But it sufficient to re- cannot be antici. small amounts as heretofore, and that our imports will go on increasing.

There appears to be no little doubt prevailing as to future imports of gold. | We should say the amount must depend greatly upon the condition of our money market and the situation in Europe. The rate of interest at Lon. don in the open market has further declined this week, being reported now at 2^<g2^ per cent, showing how inac tive commerce is in Great Britain and how difficult it is To be sure the Bank has gained to keep up the rate. this week £127,000, but from a special cable to us it appears that none of its imports came from European ^^ money the Bank has hitherto only been draw from South America and Australia, and this time mainly from the latter; the week's movement was made up by an import 'principally from Australia of £204,000 and a shipment to the interior of Great Britain centres, but that able to of £77,000. Furthermore the total bullion held by the Bank to day is only 21^ million pounds sterling.

As the article is in the mouths of men of brains and of money, if the data given does not fairly represent the trade, it has and is working an injury to the business in which much money is invested, and very many of your most intelligent readers are interested. I know that you would not willingly do that, consequently I would ask that I may be permitted to state a few facts which will show you that no general conclusion can be drawn from the returns published in the article. The data given by you is confined to the dividends paid by the companies named for a series of years, beginning with a good figure and running to nil ; and, for the same years, the prices received for beeves sold by the same companies, also showing a gradual reduction. In your conclusion you venture an explanation of this reduction, which means that the vast amount of capital invested has resulted in a sharp competition, before which prices have receded. This means that the business is overdone, or that the supply exceeds the demand. I insist your argument is not quite fair, because, First. Your data does not indicate the classification of the herds named during the years specified. Second. It fails to show the kind and the condition of the beeves sold daring the same years and Third.

It may however happen that by and by this calamity will extend, if its prevention depends upoii the well known indolence and laziness of the fellahs. Until now water has been more than suificient, and the humidity which prevailed during late weeks on the Delta were Tery advantageous to the plantations. It was estimated that the time of seeding would be three to four weeks late but now it is believed that it will be one or two weeks late, and probably less, if the favorable weather continues.

Thus far the condition of the plantations is entirely satisfactory, and it is expected that we will have a very good crop of about 3,000,000 cantars, if too much water or worms, or foggy weather, does not destroy our hopes. In the Fayoum and Benisonif there seems to be more planted than usual. Those two countries will supply two or three times more than in preceding years. Wheat. Tills is the second season in which we have not raised a surplus of wheat for export, and probably this year there will not be enough for the domestic wants. Cotton is now the preferred crop of the fellahs, which is the reason that they neglect the cultivation of wheat. Domestic speculators have raised the prices of wheat, hoping to hasten the marketing of .the crop, and notwithstanding that only a small quantity has made its appearance, the receipts are under the average of last year. suppose this article to be scarce. Jieans The same facts are true of this article, the harvest having been even poorer than wheat. Domestic wants being of some importance, only 44,000 bags have arrived in our market this year, against 148,000 bags during the same time in 1885. Corn As wheat and beans are not in sufficient quantity, and are being sold by speculators at high prices, we cannot expect sufficient quantities for the general home consumption. So far these articles are in good demand. For the export of corn several crops are raised here in the year, and hence its production will be very important for the food of our population. Barley has likewise a scanty yield. There is no great import as yet, but that will be reerulated as soon as the supply from the interior has been determined. Some quantities arrived from Cyprus, Syria and Odessa, and obtained good cotton, Total Frbnoh.

The past week has witnessed a very lib:'ral movement in fall and winter goods from the hands of local j ibbers, and reports from interior markets indicate that distributors at most of the principal markets in the Western and South- western States have been doing a very satisfactory business. Southern jobbers report a fair trade for the time of year, and distributors in the near-by States are seemingly making liberal sales of fall goods, judging by the constant demand for reaasortments by the latter. As regards personal selections the demand at first bands was only moderate, because there were comparatively few out-of-town wholesale buyers in the market, but a very fair business was done by salesmen on the road, and a good many re-orders were received by commission houses and importers by mail and telegraph. The only disturbing event of the week was the deplorable calamity at Charleston, 8. C, which of course entirely stopped all business with that unfortunate city. The week has presented few new features of interest in the trade, but the general situation continues very satisfactory. Stocks of manufactured goods are exceptionally small as a rule, and the tone of the market for both domestic and foreign fabrics is generally firm. Domestic Cotton Goods. The exports of domestics from this port for the week ending August 31 were 2,768 packages, and the principal shipments were made as follows China, 1,444; U. S. of Colombia, 430; Great Britain, 320, and Hyti, 140. Staple plain and colored cottons were only in moderate demand at first hands, but a large distribution was made in package and assorted lots by leading jobbers. Prices ruled firm on ail makes of bleached and colored cottons, but some large blocks of 3J^ yard brown sheetings, that have lately beea held above their market values, were closed cut by means of slight concessions. Print cloths were quiet in demand, but stocks are so exceptionally small that last week's quotations (3% for 64x64s, and 3c. for 56x608) were firmly maintained. Stocks last Saturday and for the three previous years were — : as follows: Stoek of Pnnt Aug. 28, OMhs— 1886. Held by Providence manuf'rs. Full Klver uiaiiufacturers...
