ST. LOUIS. Aug. 19.-The following amounts
are reported to have been made by local specu-
lators as the result of the recent rise in wheat:
William G. Haarstick, 100000; Ben Barnes.

S75. 900; John Warren. $4,000; 8. W. Cobb,
$4,000.
There are a dozen or more hrms which have
made from $4,000 to $25 900 on the face of their
81. Louis trade, but no one can tell how they
stand elsewhere. They may be 100. 600 bushels
long here and 2O0.0 900 short in Chicago. or New
York. Ono man who was reported to be q big
and has already put up S25. 600 in cash for
margins. He may have that wheat bought some
place at q lower price.
1t is a significant fact that the men who were
on the inside of the market were the same who
formed the celebrated bull pool last year which
startled wheat operators. 1t Is hard to estimate
what each mar has made. because they are con-

but became bulls again when they saw that tho

The wheat market was very wild and erratic
to-day. and the fluctuations were fevcrish. A

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. l9.-State Bank Exam
liner John Brcndenthal, in his scmi-annual state
ment to-day. says: "A most extraordinary
financial condition exists in Kansas. The sur
plus in the banks of the state is larger than ever
previously known and the cash in circulation
among the people seems undiminished The
banks cannot loan their money, and are worried
TO know what to do with the enormous deposits
on which they are paying 4 per cent. interest.
At this time the people OF the State arc engaged
In moving an enormous wheat crop and 5o.ooo,-
600 bushels OF last years corn crop, and II they
do not need cash to handle such an enormous
volume OF business, the banks are anxious to
know what they will need money for later.
9TH grain is rushing East rapidly, and all
farmers are making improvements on their
lands, and actually have money to burn. The
situation is annoying the bankers of Kansas very
much. The extraordinary situation I attribute
to the wave of economy the hard times Of the
past few years developed. The farmers were
forced to get along without borrowing money,
and now they find 1t easy to continue in that
line"
Another remarkable feature of tho situation

PATERSON, y. j.. Aug. 1a.-This morning a
small boy. apparently not over Z years OF age.
appeared at Tax Receiver Highs desk in the
City Hall. The boy could hardly be seen over
the top of the desk. but he handed up several
tax bills for property belonging to his mother,
and asked Mr.. High how much was due to the
city on them. The taxes were a few years over
due and It took some time to figure the interest.
When that WAS done Mr.. High announced that
the amount due WAS S234.sO. Mr.. High marked
the amount on a slip of paper and was handing
back the bills and the slip when the boy said:
lie drew three 500 bank notes from his
pocket and handed them over the desk. As the
cashier was about to return the change the boy
thoughtfully inquired the amount OF tho taxes
for the current year.
The cashier told him. and the boy paused for a
moment to figure out whether his change was
enough to pay it. He lacked about 50, but no
said he would stop in soon and settle the bill.
He put the change in the pocket of his knicker-
bockers and left the office.
Those who saw the boy transact the business
say there was no doubt of his competence. He
pulled the 5000 out OF his pocket as another boy
would take out a cent to buy a stick Of candy.
