The Financier says: 1t is to be observed
that the decline from the bcnks into the Treas

money through transfers to the interior was
likewise exceptional. The estimate by the De-

requirements for money to carry the latter in

transfers to Chicago, which were notably large

specula tion in grain at the Western centers.
1t is probable that these speculative move

additional money will be needed from this
