MONEY MARKET FACTORS.

Local money rates were easy at unchanged quo
tatons Call money in abundant supply at !
per cent, but the demand was light. Actual time
rates were per cent for three, four, five and SIX
months on good railroad stock collateral Sixty
day money obtainable at per cent on 80 per
cent industrial and 20 per cent railroad stocks
as collateral and the same admixture or securl-
ties was lent at AZ per cent for ninety days Prime
mercantile paper unchanged as TO local dis
counts at Az per cent. Out of town lenders were
said to have shaded the rate to per cent upon ex-
ira choice material An increasing Inquiry for
choice commercial paper noted. The money
market is working more IN favor OF the borrower,
and, while business activity precludes the possi-
bility of very low rates II is safe to that cur
rent easy conditions will rule for some time to
come. Lenders are becoming less exacting regard
ing colateras. The larger institutions continue to
show a degre of conservatism regarding long time
loans industrials, but the competition Of other
lenders is likely to increase the amount OF indus
trial collateral in time loans. Sterling exchange
again firm.

THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.
The Coal Trade Journal says regarding the
trade prospects and situation:

THE Coal Trade Journal says regarding the
trade prospects and situation:
With the second month of the winter season near
ing Its close the hard coal trade can hardly be
said to be active one. the season has been
milder than looked forward to by many. who
anticipated q repetition of that of the year pre-
ceding and provided supplies in accordance with
that idea. The wholesale market is st quoted
firm by the larger producers. as they have too
much on hand or arriving to cause them to weaken.
The tonnage sent out this month will surely be
large that of December, there Is not the
spur TO activity. and in many places there has
been idle time at the mines for reason or an
other. A feature that helps the producer is the
excellent demand for all smaller sizes, which con-
tinues without cessation, owing to the short sup
ply Of soft coal. Soft coal keeps at good pace so
far demand is concerned in all parts Of the
country Even If prices do go below the fancy
schedule which Of the operators who have
not season contracts are able to obtain, they are
not going to any old time figures for mining and
transportation are going to cost more than they
did in 1899 In the first item 1T is expected that
cents ton; West Virginia, l5 cents: illinois, 10
cents; Pennsylvania, average 15 cents; Indiana 1J
and 20 cents. In the Western market where soft
coal is so largely domestic fuel. there is some
sagging In values owing to the open season. II one
may call It such.

the hard, glutinous wheats now in

revolutionize production here.
"But the difficulty lies ia this: Our
farmers here through negligence have
mixed the hard and the starchy
wheats, and we find it almost impos.
sible to obtain the pure hard grain.
did the best could in sending Consul
Covert the two bushels for analysis
and in sending Eve bushels at your
request to the Paris exposition. but
