THE FINANCIAL SITUATION begins
the new week without any change whatever.
Money in small demand, with sufficient To
meet the wants Of ali who can get along with
out any, if they choose, Is only the paper OF
such meets with any attention. Exchange Is
Offering plenItfully, and rs readily taken.
Rates OF exchange remain as before quoted,

! ern cities at = discount, ON New Orleans az =

Orleans rate has failed, and Z Is now uni
yeTsal. The selling rate on all points is par.

there is some inquiry about Raleigh railroad
coupons Endorsed by the county, IN view OF
the expected decision by Judge Heiskell.
Oilers are made Of A, but holders ask 90 con-
tending that II the decision should be IN favor
OF the bonds, the coupons VIII be worth as
much as county scrip. county scrip Is more
plentiful and lower; brokers take II AT sosg'si

"With money SO cheap and abundant, there
have been some failures within the last
week or two. These failures are OF little sig
nificance, however, except In the houses I'M
mediately interested. Nobody interprets them
as premonitOry symptoms of another panic.
The general business OF the country j. 100 con-
tracied and too cautiously conducted 10 admit
OF a wide collapse. There is nOihlng Surprls-
ing. certainly nothing alarming, in the fact
that a few houses which barely rubbed
through the embarraSs mentS OF last We an, by
the leniency OF creditors OF The assistance OF
friends, find themselves unable 10 go on. Their
hopes Of getting through depended on tull
revival OF bcsineSs this autumn, which has
proved a vain expectation. Especially in
cases like that Of MIR. Clews, who was prOstra-
ted by the panic, but set on his feet again by
the favor and confidence OF hiends, every
thing depended on a large and profitable bust
ness this fall. But the general business Of the
country rests al present on solid basis OF &C
tual capital and cannot be shaken by few
sporadic failures.
A mn lot
as the babes IN the wood, when the robin red
breasts went into the undertaker's business
Front street almost looked yesterday, as II It's
occupation was gone. The feed market, as
absent except that some new shelled sold TO
dealers at soc. OdtS are DOminally &c, not
thing dot e in them. Bran was offered at 81
but there were no takers. HI was stagnant
except the sale Of lite Arkansas prairie.
C0rHnleul was again selling at 81, but TIE de-
mand Tor il was small. AppleS are in incre as
ONO as are In fair demand, fine, large reds are
arriving anu selling at 81 from store. ButteT
is quiet, the best bringing not over Sjc. Pro
visions are sun decunlngi We lower quota
tons Of clearside bacon, bnlk pork, and pail
lard. A lot OF pew pork arrived and the price
went down 10 80. The New York Bulletin
states: "RepOrts from pa points in Illino S,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and
Indiana, the great corn aud hog producing
states. seem to confirm opinions previously
published indicating decrease in hogs and
a fair crop Of corn. In the majority Of instan-
ces the number OF hogs reported
Is considerably less than at This
time last year, as confirmed by the Of
dcial reports of the several State auditors.
There is but little doubt as to there being
fewer hogs in the country than at this time
last season. In almost all sections Of the
country hogs are reported in poor condition,
owing to the scarcity Of old corn. In Canada
IL is also said there viii be slight falling OIL
In the number. The corn crop, according to
latest estimates, will be a fair one, but as
there is very little OF last years corn now on
fg ff11
cent. higher than In 1913, II seems probable
that the farmers will sell their hogs ea'ly in
the season, in order to realize better value for
their corn Wheat is IN good demand Tor
seed; persons from some parts OF the country
around Us, say that more wheat is planting
this fall than at any time since the war. The
statement is confirmed by the unusually
large call for seed wheat in this city.
