FINANCIAL SITUATION IN LONDON.

London. Nov. 24-The disbursements OF the treas
ury at the beginning of the week indicated an
abundance of money. Discounts touched S24. They
have since hardened TO the Bank rate. owing to
the Bank of England borrowing, clear the mar
ket of loose money. to the amount of 100000,
appears indicated in the Bank return.
Foreign exchanges were less unfavorable, but
while large Withdrawals occur to terrify dealers
the market will continue unsatisfactory. Paris
does not particularly gold. but Germany
does" says THE Investors Review" land we
fear New-York will also find the need OF some be-
fore it has gone much further in its uncontrolla-
BILE stock speculations."
The recent rise in home rails was due in meas
ure to bear covering, uneasiness and exaggerated
rumors of a slump in coal The money market is
permanently against continuous advance. Though
the wild gambling in Americans has attracted
tenton. THE Investors Review fails to discover
solid buying here and considers the bulk OF the
feverish activity engineered from New-York.
Though the arbitrases Of these have been followed
mitedly by professional spectators inside the Ex
change, operators not disposed to sell 10 the
bears in spite OF the endeavors a bear
account in London. though it is possible that
artificial bear account has been created by Wall
Street dealings in London.
THE Statist" says:
There has been good demand for money
fair sums for few days at 41z The demand
increased by the transfer OF nearly 100000 to
the Bank of England on account OF the Delagoa
Bay award. The Bank completely controls
the market.
Continuing. THE Statst' says 1t thinks it is not
wise rely American exchange remaining
above the gold point. Considering the enormous
balance OF trade In favor OF the United States. 1t
is probable that there will be greatly increased
demand for money in the United States when the
trade revival further progresses to any great ex-
tent Reviewing the outlook in the United States,
THE Statist' says expects expansion OF busi
ness new enterprises and the creation of indus
trial securities In the new year. and that taking
the whole market on a level prices will be higher.

MARGIN CALLS ON COTTON.

The members of the Cotton Exchange to
have proposition put before them this week.
1t relates to margin calls cotton, and the Com
mittee on Bylaws and Rules has requested that
every member give his opinion the subject. with
a view to securing a correct idea OF the sentiment
attaching to this proposition. Suggestions and
opinions to be sent in not later than Wednes-
day afternoon of this week The substance OF the
proposition follows:
On the first business day OF each week margins
shall be called on all contracts then open, TO make
the prices of such contracts equal 10 the closing
bid prices of the previous business day for like de-
liveries Such margins shall be called in this man
The party calling the margins shall do so before
10 n m, and shall send part OF the margins call
a statement of all open contracts, which statement
shall also show the net amount requisite TO make
prices Of these contracts equal TO the closing
bid prices of the previous day for like deliveries,
From this amount shall be deducted the amount
Of any margin previously deposited under this rule
provided the same has not been released. The net
amount thus shown to be due shall be the amount
of margins TO be deposited.
From what could be gathered yesterday opinion
as to the advisability OF the proposed rule seems
be evenly divided. Some of the experienced
traders opposed 1t. while others inclined
believe that 1t is fair and equitable.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONDITIONS.
c. Schumacher & Co. saw:

Although for some time past the tendency OF I exI
Cnange has been Enthusiastically upward, the actuaI
aaavanGe movement cnly really commence on on
thursday, when the market took a sudden Jump
upward of about 1-16 per cent all around. On Fri
day further slight advance brought the price OF
demand sterling very close up to Ass, continental
bills In proportion. Just why the market waited
until Thursday to break out into such an ADVANCE
would be difficult to explain. One theory Tor II Is
tpat several belated European steamers arrived
with large amount of the securities sold Dy ESu-
rope during the week after the elections, which
caused the sudden demand foe exchange in payment
OF these securities: 1t may be asked why these
should nave caused such demand Wnen, accord
ing to all reports. Europe bought back some
Two hundred thousand shares here last WEDNESDAY
These two hundred thousand shares. however.
might have been bought be carried here instead
of being shipped abroad. The fact Is that the
arbtrage business in stocks and bonds between
this country and Europe Is the principal FACTOR
In our exchange market, and likely to remain so as
long as stocks and bonds remain as active as they
nave been these last three four weeks. Tne
supply of commercial bills is undoubtedly slightly
diminished. but on the other hand there seems 10
be no demand for remittance in sight of any ac-
count except in payment OF returning securities or
OF sundry foreign loans likely to be placed here IN
the near future. There is short interest in ex-
change, but. on the contrary quite an accumulation
of bills carried here for rise in the market.

THEY COMPLAIN.
Farmers Say Their Crops Are
Being Ruined by the Pre-
vailing Drought.

Farmers and milkmen I'm this vicinity
are complaining about the drought. which
is more severe. they say, than any sea-
son since the centennial year.
Then the weather from the middle of
June to the middle of July was very hot
and dry, the mercury standing at 90 or
over most of the time.
1t is stated that the places that suffer
most this summer are Cranston, Johnston
and Warwick.
In Rehoboth, according to Bradford c.
Con-, there was a very helpful shower
Thursday evening. July II, that lasted
four hours. In East Providence IL rained
two hours.
Seekonk farmers use steam pumps to
irrigate with, Daniel Dye and David S.

Robert A. Walker of East Providence
says that the ouIiooi. for vegetables is
very poor.
Il. j. Hisbrog OF Warren states that
the drought in his section is less severe
than elsewhere.
a. Brown of Swansea has no fault TO
find with his crops. while Frank B West
OF Seekonk reports that his crops are
suffering
Cornelius &. Peck OF South Seekonk
also complains about the drought, as does
Mr. Patterson of the same town.
There Is "A good display of produce on
