Xew York, SaturJuy, May, 2j,Sgi. The continued outgo of gold, in spite of rose-colored assuranc by eminent foreign banker, has a depressing de-pressing influence. Since Wednesday, Wednes-day, When exports were as large' as at any other time, there have been hopes that the movement would cease, but futher shipments for today to-day are announced of $2,800,000 making $7,600,000 for the week, and dispatches state that Russia draws I $5, 000,000 more from London this week. Its purpose in this large accumulation ac-cumulation is not explained, and is therefore distrus e I. This country could spare many millions yet, without with-out serious disturbance, for the Treasury now holdsj in excess 61 certificates, about 20 millions more than it held when specie payments were resumed, but the out go has a strong" tendency to depress markets and prices, blocks have been weak though with a slurp rally yesterday forenoon, and the produce markets are much depresseu, and thj fall in die prices of all conimouities has oeen about i.8 per cent, in two weeks. The local money market is fairly supplied at moderate rates, as other Eastetn and Western nui-kets nui-kets are, almost without exception, gain, but in cured meats there is a decline cf 50 per cent., and in lard, flour and barley cf 33 percent. Crop reports at Chicago are very satisfactory, and the same is true at St. l'aul, Omaha and many other points, where the recent rains have made wonderful improvement. Indeed, In-deed, the one rain of Sattirday last was probably worth some hundreds of millions to the country, for extensive ex-tensive droughts seemed near. Trade at Western cities is quiet but very hopeful. At the South also crop reports are highly satisfactory, and trade, though only fair, or even sluggish now, and at Memphis gen erally depressed, is expected to be excellent hereafter. No material injury had been sustained from drought in the region tributan to New Orleans by cotton, sugar . or rice, but the heavy rains have done great good. In general, it may be said that the crop outlook has rarely rare-ly been brighter than it is now, and this gives the strongest reason for hope that any present depression in trade will be temporary. .

The Treasu y has paid out during the week but f .00,000 more than it has taken in, o. ordinary currency, out has also put out 200,000 11101 e fractional silver. At most places trade seems healthy, and there is not more than the usual complaint about collections, but the disgraceful disgrace-ful disclosures regarding some banks, and officials at J'hiladelphia.and the collapse of some "fraternal orders'' in that neighborhood, locking up large sums invested by wage-earner have made much local trouble. In this city the great struggle betw ee employers and walking delegates in the building trades arrests much business, and similar contests at Milwaukee depress trade, in add -tion to the heavy loss sustained 1 n the Northwestern lumber region by extensive fires. But the great strike of coke-workers at Connelsville appears ap-pears to be about e ruled, and a speidy resumption ofnwork by the Mahoning valley furn ces is expected. expect-ed. The iron business is rather weakened weak-ened at Pittsburgh by this prospect of increased supplies, and is very dull at Cleveland, but somehow more demand is seen at New York and Philadelphia for various forms of manufactured iron-.
