Unfavorable weekly business and banking report amid trade stagnation
The week shows a stagnant general business, with a cotton trade uptick in Memphis offset by declines elsewhere. Total clearings reach 796 million, down from 1.031 billion last year and 866 million last week, with 316 U.S. failures. Boston and Memphis gains noted, while many cities show double-digit drops versus 1883. The New York bank statement remains favorable despite a small reserve dip, with higher deposits and compliant notes offsetting near 500 thousand in specie loss.
