THE MONETARY SITUATION.

There was no change in the financial situation
last week. In the local money market rates for
call loans were extremely easy and the supply Of
funds was in excess of requirements. The aver
age rate for the week was probably not over 3 1-2
per cent, and the highest. was per cent There
was little better supply Of time-mOney, but
rates firm at about per cent for the usual
periods The announcement by the Secretary Of
the Treasury that he would be prepared to pay
the 1-2 per cent bonds which viii mature on
September 1 exerted beneficial influence, and
while the banks not pleased with the low
rate Of interest at which they may at his discre-
ton extend the bonds held by them, the proposal
is plain evidence of his confidence in the ability
the Treasury TO meet the payment It is an as
surance of continued ease in the money market
even stronger than that afforded by the slow
liquidation in stocks. AT the same time the
weekly bank statement showed that the move
ment Of currency 10 this city scarcely counter
balanced the shipments of gold and the receipts
from this source are likely 20 dminiAh REPORTS
from various interior points show a sharper de-
man1 for money while the rates are considerably
higher than in this city. As the tirne for the
moving of the .crops approaches this demand nat
urally will be more argent. tits hardly probable
that the Treasury Department will permit any
monetary disturbance Tor the sake of the slight
saving in interest that might be made by extend
ing the maturing obligations Of the Government
at a less rate than that recommended by the New
York banks. The continued shipments of gold

BANK CONDITIONS COMPARED.


Blythe operations of the New-York Sub-Ireas-
ury In the week ended Friday night which included
deposits of S106 900 for payment at other points,
the associated banks gained Sl.1O9.0sl. The
weekly bank statement published yesterday showed
a loss in cash of 81, 647,S0 The movement OF
money from the interior seems to have been
smaller than the expert estimates; for the ship
ments of gold in the week could hays counted
for not more than $2,5O0,O00. For tiis reason,
also, the statement must have been made on
falling averages, and the banks probably were
poorer than the average showing by about $1,000
600. The decrease in deposits was smaller by
81 ,271,400 than the other changes demanded,
but this may have been correction OF an op-
posite discrepancy week ago. The changes re-
suited in loss of Ss4E575 in the surplus re-
serve, which is now Sc, $780, against S4,olO,-
375 year ago, and Sli,o56,l75 in the cor
responding week in the preceding year.
The changes in the corresponding weeks OF pre-
ceding wears are as follows 1S90-loans decrease
Sl549OO cash increase S233,200, deposits increase
S939SOO and surplus reserve decrease 81 $50 !;
lsS9-loans increase SO, OIL 200, cash decrease

plus reserve decrease S3,549,475; l8S8-loans in

rate of discount was also favorable incident, as
it confirmed the reports OF quleter conui .n1 a

proof that the speculative liquidation abroad had

the first time in a long while the REPORTS OF gross
earnings for the fourth week in May showed an
absolute decrease compared with the same time
last year The earnings last year. to be sure,
were unusually heavy. showing large gain over
the preceding year. The Tribune has printed the
gross earnings of thirty-ive railroad companies
or systems for the fourth week in May. OF thus
number twenty companies return gains OF S2'v,-
III, or l0.4 per cent. and fifteen companies IT,
turn losses averaging 11.3 per cent. The whole
number gives loss compared with the correspond
ing week of last year of S25,059 or 40 per cent

three companies for the third week in May, and
the whole number gives gain over the same week

How to XIII the Rose Bug.

The editor of the Rural NeU Yorker an
nounces that he has just discovered a sure
way of killing the rose bug or rose chafer
without injury to foliage. The bug has in
creased rapidly in the last few years and
has devastated thousands of vineyards.
The editor says:
Experiments made during the present
week prove that the insects cannot survive
a temperature of over 100 degrees Fahren-
heit. The mex step was to ascertain il
this method of destruction could be put to
an easy, practical use. Water was heated
to TO degrees and poured into a pail. A
small band force-pump, with eight feet OF
hose and a half-inch iron tube OF five feet
(thirteen feet in alb, terminating with a
cyclone nozzle, was then used to force the
water upon the rose ehafers of the magno.
liza flowers, in one Of which there were not
less than $50 of them. The first spray upon
the beetles was shown by the thermometer
to be 1909. The rose bugs receiving the
direct spray were dead in about one minute.
The others recovered. The temperature OF
the water was then raised SO that tile mer-
GUY rose to 140o, when the thermometer
was placed within two inches of the noz-
zle. This was sprayed into a partly open
magnolia flower containing fifty or more
beetles. All were almost instantly killed.
Neither foliage nor flowers was injured"
