LOUISVILLE, May 3l.-The market
has been very quiet during the past
week. Funds are accommodating in
the banks again, owing to the de-
mand for money not equaling ex-
pectations. First-class paper Is in
demand, bankers and trust company
presidents are looking for good In
vestments. There is no speculative
demand for money. Speculation
here, ss well as elsewhere, is very
slow to revive, and the disburse-
ments by the banks are only in the
regular course of business. There are
considerable sums of money In the
hands of brokers and real estate
agents, coming from the country for
investments. Money can be readily
obtained on first-class collateral at 6
per cent. Securities have been fair
ly active and generally firm.

setting the new crop; in some locali-
ties considerable per cent. of the
crop is on the hill, while in other
quarters only moderate start has
been made. The market this week
for Burley tobacco has been charac-
terized by large sales and decided ac-
tivity, the range of values being bet
