Cnuses of the String insency-QunrterIy Settle.
ments-The Boston Failure.
Local bankers drew the lines quite taut yes

some of them discriminating sharply between
regular customers and outsiders. In fact.
money was tight. One two banks were SO
short that they were compelled to decline con-
siderable good paper, but managed to satisfy
their regular trade. Other institutions had no
trouble. AS the sum Of the situation, it may
be said that there is enough loose cash here for
ordinary business purposes, but none to put
into new ventures.
This condition arises from the fact that most
of the city banks have been free lenders for
some time. AS a cashier put it: There has
been good demand for money all season. and
we have tried to supply it. That's what we are
the risk of having our funds left on our hands,
earning nothing. We can't afford to run
risks"
One cause cf the existing stringency here is
attributed to preparations for the third quar-
terly settlements, now almost at hand. Con-
siderable money will be needed to even up
obligations at that time and it is being boarded
for that purpose. These disbursements out Of
the way, greater cas- is looked for.
The drift of opinion of local fnanciers In re-
gard to the Boston failure, as ascertalned in
number of interviews yesterday, was to the
effect that 1t would have little effect here be-
yond making bankers still more cautious In ex.
tending favors. Pittsburg banks have very
slight connection with the HUB and are not
affected in the least by the crash. 1t may seri-
ously affect the Eastern trade. but, as this is
minor interest here, no bad results to Pittsburg
are likely to follow.

The New York Tribune turns on the light as
follows: "The whole of this late money scare
is the greatest wonder of the century: Inere
are two sides to it, which are not at all allied
in their purposes The one is for the creation
of a monetary crisis which will compel the
Treasury TO be a purchaser of per cent bonds
at 126Gl27; the other is only an attempt TO
frighten real holders of miscellaneous securi-
ties into the market as sellers. that q large

one part wants a high price for Government

STOCKS ON THE RUN.

Considerable Business Transacted. but
Values show Lnck of Staying Power.
The Boston failure had no perceptible effect
on the local stock board yesterday. Bidding
was livelier than usual, and fair amount of
business was transacted. This however, was
at the expense of values, nearly everything
showing a lack Of backbone.
The most active thing on the list was West
inghouse scrip. 1t was wanted in unlimited
quantities at rs and freely offered at IS. It is
stated that Mr.. Westinghouse will soon issue a
circular to stockholders urging those who have
not accepted their allotment of new stock to
come forward and do So
AS showing that buyers are cautious. Pitts
burg Traction was offered down to 3415 and
Central to 2619 without takers. Philadelphia
Gas and Electric submitted to considerable
concessions. as did nearly everything else on
the active list. With few exceptions closing
prices were the lowest of the day.
