Outside of the appearance of the annual demand on this cen-' ter for money for crop moving purposes there were lew developments of importance in the week Just ended in the financial situation. The position is to a large extent a waiting re, pending the solution of the many and Independent questions regarding the size of our harvests and the future of manufacturing and commerce generally. The answers to these questions are complicated-Just now by the introduction of somewhat indeterminate factors. In the matter of crops, this factor consists of the true extent ot the harm worked in wheat by destructive rust, and the fact that the corn crop is on the threshold of the trying weeks which hold in possible store blighting frost. In the case of manufacturing Kenerallv the issue denenda larrelv iidoii the "outcome of these crop question, and in the great steel industry in particular, on the results to accrue from price reductions in many directions.

Progress in the industrial aitnatlon is further hampered by the attitude of labor in many quarters. The Chicago and Fall River conditions remain unchanged, and continue to affect the packing-house and textile Industries. In this city construction work has come to practical standstill, with thousands of men unemployed, a situation which affects sharply the structural branch of the steel industry. While the Immediate future result Is thus obscured for the moment by these factors there is not wanting, nevertheless-, evidence of general confidence in the final adjustment. AUItsde mt Stockholder.

This may be found, perhaps, la the course of security prices, which have reflected largely the attitude of stockholders In the many enterprises directly dependent on general prosperity. While there may be doubt as to the substantial character of the trading which served to advance prices within the last few points attained by stocks, there can be little or no doubt that it has been the indisposition of these stockholders to ell and this reflects to a great extent their confidence in the future which has made possible even the speculative proportion of the advance. There is. even under conditions making for rnnt.m Ham nn rtrssKiire rtf slacks for sale. and.

on the other hand, this conservatism is equally reflected In the' continued absence of buying by the public, for of that there is practically nothing. The stock market was unshaken by the wild flurries in wheat prices, which, normally, should have found a moderate reflection in slocks, and, again, the subsequent crumbling of these- prices found almost no reflection in security quotations. This stolidness of the market, for, that seems at present Its underlying quality, might well indicate a dfcterminsiUon.to be as little Influenced' by gloomy as. by resplendent crop estimates, "granting the actual facts. And for these It seems contented te wait in rather confident patience.

1 The Crala Situation la the grain markets, where reflections ef crop conditions are sought, the course of pi tees during the week seemed rather mere la accord with, developments than heretofore. A widespread and growing conviction of the exaggeration of the unquestioned damage suffered by spring wheat resulted la wholesale liquidation by the speculative element responsible for the wild advance, ad prices "fell away abruptly. At the end of toe week there were some signs ot a resumption of this speculation, but on a more cautious scale. The genrU disposition now is to await the publication of the government figures on Sept. 10.

which wili. in a measure, indicate the final yield of wheat. The Price Current, a trtde authority of wide credit, has found no reason to look for a wheat yield of less than S75.WO.0OO bushels, and this total is generally accepted as a fair estimate. The abrupt turn in the money tide against this center is generally attributed to a de-aire on the part of the farmers to hurrv their wheat to market order to secure the prevailing and this view seems borne otrt by the receipts of wheat at orl- wary points, these running to 5 .280. 611 bush els, against 4.K02.I79 bushels in the same week a year aeo.

The effect of high prices on the export uu.iMi.s5 is again in the scanty en gagements for shipment. Exports in th week ending Thursday last were 1.084.333 bushels, against 3.245.000 bushels last year. uj nuce juiy i me exports aggregate bushels-, against bushels in the same period a. year ago. K-tlauale of Cora Crop.

ine moderate acrances in corn prices were influenced, by the fact that the crop is ru.criua a critical period, out it may at least be said that the prospects at the moment are exceedingly encouraging. The trad authority already quoted estimates this crop at tome 2.5O0.OOO.CUO bushels. which indicates a splendid yield of an. intrinsically valuable crop. The speculatioa la commodities seemed in the week to shift from grain to cotton, and la the latter market there followed a remarkable rise In ths quotations for the near cotton options la the face of conditions which seem no worse than normal at this season and which Still aonear to nrnmli.

vur iiauic beyond the usual crop. Evidences of manipulation were not want-Isg la this upward movement in cotton. The. movement of the various crops to market will come as a boon to the railroads, which have, however, been maintaining their earning record of a year ago with suprising uniformity. The reports of ever eighty railroads for June show gross earnings of exhibiting an increase of 1.13 per cent ia net earnings.

These figures also tell the successful efforts that are making to de crease expenses. In the fiscal year ended Juris 30 the expenses of these roads Increased 7.60 per cent, but ia the month of June, the last of the fiscal year, expenses ae creased 2.31 per cent. Reads Coatrol Giseair. If this Is an Indication ot the abilitv of the managers of the railroad to control expend! tures. It Is a matter for encouragement, whether gross earnings are to continue heavy or even decrease.

The heavy expenditures. reflected In many caees In Increases of fixed obligations, for physical betterments oa rights of way and terminals and equipment. along with a more promising wan situation, seem to point to continued control of oper-' alloc expenses. Alt this goes far to offset any apprehension growing out of such developments as the cutting in sugar rates In the Mississippi territory and the reductions In tariffs on steel wire goods introduced by the Union Pacific at the week's end. Many careful observers of conditions who saw the pool agreements la steel products at last dissolved In the scramble for a diminishing business regarded the lowering ot railroad tariffs In aucar and wire products as a possible forerunner ot the desolation of similar agreements among the railroads.

This seems not at all imminent. nowever. in view oi tne maintenance oi gross earnings by the railroad Again there Is a special resson assignable, for the action of the L'nton Pacific, and this Is iq l- iouua unaouotecjy in a review oi ins Jh t'" I Friends of iiMiKn rather turbulent history ot the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. It is a fair presumption that the so called Gould roads have been so favored with traffic from the Colorado company as to furnish the motive for the assistance -rendered to its competitors by the Union Pacific.

There Is every assurance that in the development- of 'this property. Which Will undoubtedly follow there will result no unsettling cf the Southern railroad situation, which at present is full of promise. Baaki Face vel Situation. The inception of the crop movina demand finds our banks facing factors larcelv novel. This year the crop must be moved without direct help from the treasury, a situation without precedent since the treasury began to accumulate a surplus before the war with Spain.

A year ago the early demands were met by an increase of United States deposits of internal revenue funds in Western banks. The treasury this fall ha no surplus to devote to such uses, and it Is yet an open question if a call must not be made on government deposits In the banks, although this will be averted if possible. The only assistance of which there is a promise this year lies in the possible use of the device of stimulating circulation by the substitution of other than government bonds to secure deposits, the government bonds withdrawn serving thereafter as the basis increased circulation. On the other hand, the banks at the beginning of the movement had accumulated a aurplus reserve of over legal requiremnts. a total which has not been approached since 1894.

when the revenues of the government were less than expenditures, and business was stsrnant as a result of widespread apprehension over the silver question. It Is worth noting that this huge total compares 321.058.000 last year and 19.743.000 in 1M)2. In the latter year call money a 7 per cent in July. per cent in August. 25 percent in September, and 35 per cent In October.

In 1903 the rates were 10 per cent In July, 34 per cent in August. 3 per cent in September, and 4 per cent in October, these quotations representing the highest rates. If the promises of great crops of corn and cotton and of hay and oats are fulfilled, the reserves will be heavily drawn upon, but it seems not unreasonable to look for a confinement of money rates within limits which will create no disturbance. Favoring this outcome are the decreased demands for speculative purposes, as wellas in mercantile lines. In 1903, September to January, the net outflow of currency to the Interior was $36,297,000.

and the inflow of gold from Europe, by excess of Imports over exports, was $35,003,823. In 1902 the currency shipments were 327,985.500, and gold receipts were $18,703,654, while In 1901 the corresponding figures were and 537. DANIEL. F. KELLOGG.
