NEW yoak moseY MARKET.
Efforts 10 Keep Rate Up Fails Plenty 10 b
Mad at I l.2 Per Cent.

New York, Jan. 17.-The weekly state
ment Of the Associated Banks
issued, Saturday. viii show a large in
crease of cash on hand az a conse-
quence of the unusual state Of affairs
in the money market. About a month
ago the presidents and other leading
officers of some 40 banks belonging to
the Clearing House. attended a dinner.
At this gathering an understanding
was reached that no call loans, or in
other words. loans repayable on de-
mand, should be made at a rate less
than 2 per cent. per annum. For three
or four weeks previously most Of the
call loans had been made at ~ per
cent. At this rate the banks did not
consider they were receiving an ade-
quate return on their money
During the present week the borrow
ers found that they could obtain money
from trust companies and other large
lenders at 1A per cent Accordingly
they shifted their loans to a large ex-
tent; that is. paid off the loans to
banks and got accommodated from the
lenders whose rates were one-half per
cent. lower, and the banks secured only
a small part of the new loans
The rapid accumulation of money in
their vaults which was earning moth
ing finally brought them to a realiza-
tion that their agreement to keep the
call money rate up to 2 per cent. could
no longer be adhered to with advan-
tage, and, Friday. most of them were
offers of IL per cent. AL
though the tendency of money is
downward all over the world, it is
cheaper in New York than anywhere

A Trip ofIO,OOO Miles.

Mr. and Mrs. Selden " Holman OF Bos-
ton are in town again for the summer,
having very nearly circled this continent
since they left here in April. They have
Travelled nearly ten thousand miles and
been in twenty nine states and in Cana
da. Being OF party OF railroad men and
their wives and on a special train they
we're able to see much more and get along
much faster than the ordinary traveller in
the same length of time as the train could
stop at all places of interest regardless of
stations as long or short time as necessa-
nv, thus often saving days travel to see
some Particular point. From Southern
California to British Columbia they re-
port perfect weather and beautiful coun-
try where everything that grows on the
face OF the earth can be raised. The har-
vestng of miles of golden wheat the 10th
of May seemed little out of date to
Eastern eyes. The bulk OF the orange crops
had been gathered but enough late ones
were left to beautify the landscape and re-
fresh the travellers, giving them q chance
to pick and eat. Blossoms from lemon
and orange trees, small fruits and berries
in abundance and much sweeter than
when they reach the eastern markets, were
plentiful.
The varied scenery, both beautiful and
grand, cannot be described and they adj
wise all to go and see for themselves. To
fully appreciate California weather one
needs to be set down there in January or
February, after three or four months of
shoveling coal and snow. At this season
OF the year the contrast is not so great,the
country being fresh and green every
where.
Mr.. and Mrs. Holman found the HER
AID AND NEWS in Los Angeles, Oakland

same as Randolph people do.
