A FAVORABLE COMPARISON.
Volume Of Business Maintainsa a Strong Lend
Over Inst Yenr's.

The local monetary situation during the
week was rather tame as respects new features.
but moderately active and easy in regard to
demand and supply. Rates were steady at SAT
per cent as the extremes. Financiers think the
market is about scraping bottom. The fall
opening is near at hand. when idle capital will
be in request to strengthen old and develop
new activities. As compared with previous
years there is no ground for despondency.
while the outlook is favorable from every point
of view.
The Clearing House report for the week shows
a balance of 50, 900 900 in round numbers on the
right side, as compared with the same time last
year. showing that the JUL is neither complete
nor serious So long as the volume of trade
overtops that of lSSs-the best previous year in
the history Of the clty-there will be no peg
upon which to hang complaints. The principal
items of the report show the interesting results

Changes During the Week,
Stock trading yesterday was restricted TO
narrow limits. Only two interests received at
tsntion-Pipeagc and Switch and Signai-and
only s5 shares of these were wanted. Investors
are holding back for lower prices, which they
think will result from the labor troubles and
lull in business, but from the way prices have
been sustained during q long period of stagna'
tion their calculations are liable to go astray.
As compared with the closing bids OF the
previous Saturday price changes for the week
show an advance in Columbia On OIL Inii
