THE MONETARY SITUATION.


The local money market remained unchanged
during last week call loans ruling at l-2 per cent
or lower and time money being in abundent supply
at 3 per cent for ninety days and per cent for
six months on pledge of good marketable securi-
ties. These rates about as low as they have
been at any time, although the is approach
ing when it is reasonable to expect somewhat higher
rates. because OF the usual greater activity in bust
ness But it is not to be expected that anything
like stringency can prevail during the coming au-
tumn. First, Mint Director Kimballs report, re-
ferred to last week, shows that the expansion of
legal money in circulation during the last twelve
months was $50 900. 600 As the NewYor banks
now hold only s32, OOO 900 more legal money than
they held one year ago, it follows that s5l ,OOO,-
600 of the expansion is scattered elsewhere through
the country. Therefore the usual autumnal drain
upon New-York for funds with which to move the
growing crops may safely be expected to be much
less than in former years. Secondly, Win "a
smaller interior demand in view, the banks OF New
York are unusually well fortified to meet an ex-
traordnary demand. Their surplus reserve now Is
81 8, OO0, 900 greater than al this date OF 1907,
Sl4 800, 900 than at this date OF 1895 ana 81 -

BANK CONDITIONS COMPARED

BANK CONDITIONS COMPARED
BY the operations Of the Sub Treasury in the
week ended Inst Friday evening the New-York
banks lost 81, sos cash. week ago in re-
viewing the statement of July 81 we said Prob
ably the cash reported as the average of the week
closely approximates the actual amount held at
the close Of the week. Yesterdays statement
shows gain Of 81 90, 900 cash, which shows that
the loss to the Sub-Treasury was about offset by
receipts from the interior and that the average for
last week reported does not vary materially
from the actual holdings at the close of business
Friday. The feature of the statement is decline
in deposits of s22O7,5O0 while the other changes
call for decline of only 81 90, 900. The statement
results in gain to the surplus reserve Of 1878 775,
and leaves it at s27,l16175, against ss,130,075
July 80, 1887, and s12,s7s, 725 July 81, 1886
The changes in the week Of ss7 were as follows ::
Loans increased. $45, 0o0 cash decreased, sl0l2,-
500; deposits decreased, s2,5s5, 500 and surplus
reserve decreased, s366,350. The changes for the
week of 1886 were Loans increased s523,400;
cash decreased s1,66s, ZOO deposits decreased,
81 106, 900 and surplus reserve decreased, 1901,
475 The changes for the week of 1881 were,
Loans decreased, s52,100; cash decreased, $685.
200; deposits decreased $3.50, 900, and surplus
reserve decreased, s47,973.

The Christian Scientists.


Twice within the last two weeks public
attention has been directed to persons In this
community who heal diseases by "a concen-
tration Of thought in the proper channel in
the interest of the patient" These persons
call themselves Christian Scientsts--"Chris-
tian," because the word defines whatspertains
to Christ; Scientist" because what pertains
to Christ they have methodically digested,
arranged and demonstrated. Christ is Truth.
Truth demonstrated Is Christian Science.
A woman died in Brooklyn ten days ago and
her death was laid indirectly at the door of
Christian Science. Another who was near
death regained her health, and she attributed
her recovery to Christian Science. Both cases
were wiedlypublished and commented on. The
latter was spoken of as faith cure. Christian
scientists say IL was no such thing. They takes
no stock In filth cures. In their practice they
prescribe neither faith nor medicines. Cures,
they contend, are effected by the operation Of
their minds alone, regardless OF the mental
condition OF patients. In response to tho ques-
ton, "Do Christian Scientists heal as Christ
didpn they answered, 'Yes, their methods are
the same; the Christian Scientists possesses
all the possibilities OF Christi, Yet Christ de-
manded OF His patients absolute faith! Per-
haps the Christian Scientists don't mind little
discrepancy like this They have no fear OF
death, no respect for the devil, no illness, nc
fatigue.

Rev. DR.. William Hayes Ward, editor
Of the Independent
Last winter the senior Ward took up
Miss Phelps latest book careessly rs he
sat in his sanctum and glanced at one
of its pages. He Immediately became
interested and kept on reading, to the
neglect Of more important duties, until
the time came for him to 90 home. He
walked to the South ferry with his mind
still absorbed in what he had read, and
he was so distraint with it that, in crossing
the crowded street to get to the ferry en-
trance, he allowed himself to be run over
by heavy truck and very badly iniured
some of his ribs were broken, and for a
day or two his life was considered in
danger. The driver who had run him
down was arrested, but DIR. Ward de-

Ward. All through the past summer
the Wards hung about Gloucester, and it
became apparent to observers that this
was due to the son rather than TO the
! father. Although the former was hardly
| 30 years old and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
is something like so, their relations took
on an unmistakable aspect of courtship.
The result was marriage ceremony at
the Phelps seashoro cottage, East Glou-
| cester, few days ago.
