Stringency In London Money Market
Comes to an End.

New York, July 31-The Times Lon
don financial correspondent cables:
AS swiftly as it arose the tightness
in the money market seems to be pass
ing away. Early this week it appeared
probable that the Bank of England
could not maintain its hold over the
market and stock exchange loans to end
inAugust were rarely granted under4 per
cent and often ~ per cent, but all the
time the market was being undermined.
The bank suddenly ceased to secure
any portion of the current business,
whether In advances or discounts, and
although the leading bill brokers con-
tinue to quote their foreign customers
high rates, the tendency is not to sink
under 31z per cent.
Short loans money, too, has fallen in
price, in spite of the nearness of the
end of the month, until 90 per cent is
the best rate obtainable for loans into

August Day money is often no better
den change occurred? The causes are
various. The inflow of gold, slow but
steady, has not put enough new credit
generating power in the hands of the
open market to have much influence,
but it does operate as cheapener.
The ominous state of affairs in France
likewise helps by sending French money
here for investment and during the
ten days past French bankers have been
buying bills on London well below the
bank rate. But the most potent de-
pressing influence of all lies with the
Bank of England. 1t screwed rates up
by temporarily borrowing large amounts
from other banks or from the market.
This creates a passing stringency, which
draws in money from all quarters, and
then when the bank repays those ad-
vances the flood Of credit becomes
greater than ever.

the promise, therefore, is for easy

Ously most difficult to be sure Just be-
cause of these secret and sudden efforts
to force rates up. Some political funk
or a sharp fall in New York or Berlin
exchange might put the bank again on
the warpath, and then the game of see
saw would be renewed.
Apart from the causes mentioned dimin-

in NEED OF RANGERS.
In The Opinion Of Captain Hughes
OF The Texas Rangers Geo
Scarborough Should Be One OF

Captain Hughes of the Texas ran
gers, who left on the eastbound G. 81.
train today for Marathon, was aske
his opinion regarding the necessity OF
, rangers in New Mexico. After q
moments elaboration on the matter,
he said:
Elm my opinion it would be one of
the best things for New Mexico to do
to organize the ranger system. 1t is no
disgrace to any state or territory to en-
ploy an organized band to hunt down
fugitives aud being them to justice,
and wish to say that If New Mexico
put Geo. Scarborough among
them, it would not be two weeks until I
could gettwo men whom have been after
some time and who are wanted by the
Texas officials badly. This is only one
instance but there are numerous others
where the rangers would be
territory Of New Mexico but
also the territory of Arizona. My men
are sent after offenders within the
Texas border. The fugitives imme-
diately start for New Mexico and when
once they cross the line into that ter
ritory that settles it. We
cannot follow them. There is no
one employed in that territory to
fellow them up and the consequences
are that they are free. Now, If
they employed rangers up there we
could work together and rid this coun,
may say for me that I believe New
Mexico should have the rangers and
that Geo. Scarborough would be one of
the best men in the country to put at
the head of them because he Ia fearless
and delights in hunting criminals"
