good advance in the high-priced
grangers in the next few days is not un-
likely. There has been discrimination
among operators against these securities
recently, as has been pointed out, for fear
that continuous high money rates might
prevent their advancing in price. This
new factor of Government aid seems likely
20 have sympathetic effect on the group,
even although there has been little real
reason for supposing that they would not
partake of the country's prosperity with
the remainder of the list. In yesterdays

highest prices of the day were not re-

eral business, but particularly it has been
disastrous to the market prices of securities
dealt in on the New York Stock Exchange.
Under the influence of heavy calling OF
loans there has been great tumble in
prices, averaging SO share or more in
all active stocks. The rates demanded for
call money during the past two weeks,
owing TO this stringeney, have varied from
4 per cent to 40 per cent, and averaged
something like 10 or 20 per cent.
It is believed that the action of the
Treasury Department will be Immediately
beneficial and many are of the opinion
that the stringency will be entirely re-
moved. A large part of this $50, 900, 600
interest will get to the New York banks
There is little money tightness anywhere
in the country except in that city. The
reports from the various States for last
week show that the banks are full OF mon
ey 1t is not thought that the drain on
New York for the interior will continue
much if any longer.
The New York stock market was stronger
and more active yesterday than it has
been for several days past, and the gen
eral opinion was that this was directly due
to the announcement from the Treasury
Department.

Authoritative estimates of the grain
crops for the year have now been made.
They show a yield not the largest in his
tory. but very near it, and certainly large
enough TO provide for all demands. The
earnings Of the grangers during the pres
ent year are thus assured. for in addition
TO the big grain traffic the prosperity of
the farmers is certain to be reflected in
immense general merchandise and passen-
ger traffic. Ii seems probable that the
passenger traffic alone will be a much
larger item in the business of the granger
group than it ever has before. Passenger
traffic reaches its maximum little later
after prosperity comes than freight busi-
ness does, but statistics over many years
show that the increase is sure 10 come in
time. This is the year that it is due. Last
year the farmers sent their wheat to mar
ket and bought farming implements, furni-
ture, and clothes. This year they will
travel.

Another scheme Suggested.

The action of the Treasury has suggest
ed that there is another step that might
be taken by the Government at this time
to return a part of its immense cash bal
ance into the available working funds of
the country. The Treasury may at any
time according to law enter the market and
buy It's bonds at the market price, and it
is urged that this step might be taken now
with excellent results both to the Govern
ment and to the country.
prominent banker said to a reporter
yesterday regarding this suggestion:
The law is that the Secretary of the
Treasury may ar any time that he sees
fit buy the outstanding bonds of the Gov
ernment, to any amount with funds from
the cash balance in the Treasury. The in
tent of the law undoubtedly is that this
step may be taken for either of two rea-
sons-to reduce the debt of the Government
or to put money into circulation when it
is needed At the present time there is
certainly much need of all the money that
the country owns, with which TO transact
its immensely increased business, and it is
equally true that there is an immense idle
cash surplus in the Treasury that might
be utilized in part at least in anticipating
the payment of the Government debt.
"As an example of how the plan would
work, the 100000, coo of 5s of 1904 may
be taken. These bonds are now selling
around 112. This price represents par and
interest for five years It will be seen that
the Government could purchase this entire
issue at the market price and make di-
rect saving of the discount proposed for
the interest prepayments today, or 2.40 per
cent year. This s100, 900 is now lying
z. .s..Ixk
be in circulation, helping to make the coun-
try prosperous"
Such plan would not, it is believed,
however, meet with unanimous approval.
AS one financial man expressed it yester-
day: 81 am not in favor of allowing Mr..
Morgan to make millions out of bond is
sues, and then redeeming them in advance,
only to allow Mr.. Morgan to make more
millions out of more bond issues"

AN INTREPID RIDER.

Mr.. Spong Of Rochester. England.
was one day riding down the High
street at Brompton. when his horse
took fright and dashed away at q
frightful pace. Tearing through the
arch at BrOmpton barracks, 1t contin-
ued on its mad career In the direction
Of the iron fence at the ether side Of
the barrack yard. beyond which was q
fall OF forty-twe feet. II was while
crossing the yard that Mr.. Spong ar
rived At a full sense Of his fearful po-
sition; the dwarf-like appearance Of
4 large tree beyond the iron rails in
dicated the great depth. The animal
presently arrived At the nve-foot
fence. which 1t at once took. and horse
and rider disappeared. the animal car
rying away some seventeen or eight
cen of the iron bars into the chasm
below. Fortunately q flight OF steps
