THE MONEY MARKET
The money market presents the same features OF
ease and abundance. The general rate on call is
four per cent with exceptions at three on govern
ments and at five on stocks. Judging from the tone
Of the money markets in the West IL is evident that
we have reached the climax Of abundant money at
this centre for the present season. Money leaving
Chicago and other Western cities to 90 into the in
terror to move the remnant OF last years crops and
also, perhaps, in preparation for the moving OF this

fortified and conld stand steady, heavy drain
Of funds for good while to come with

over 1t is question whether the West will need as
much currency this fall last for the reason that
the price Of wheat is lower than although much
higher than last winter, While the crops themselves
will not be as large, because the depression In the
wheat market last winter checked extensive plant
ing operations this spring. While the rate on cali
Will not descend below the present figures there Is
little chance tnat 1t will advance until toward the
fall, and then hardly beyond seven per cent. Com

cent for prime double names

The inactivity in the exchange market led to fur
