Dawes term OF office would not have
expired until January, 1908. He entered
the office of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency Jan /, 1898. succeeding James III.
Eckels. One of his first orders after en-
tering Office stopped the practice of the
employment of national bank examiners

Extreme hot weather and holidays con
tributed to make the business week a
rather dull one. Excepting for a good
trade in summer goods practically all
lines of business were affected unfavor
ably by :ie weather. In many manu-
featuring establishments employers d.
rected that work be abandoned ON ac-
count of the heat The continued strike
troubles were. responsible for the clos
ing of other plants. New labor difficult
ties have arisen, but they are not seri-
Gus, and settlements are expected.
The corn crop is subject for anxiety.
In some places the situation is the least
promising one re,rllled in thirty years.
Stockholders interested in railroads
largely dependent ON the corn yield would
be pleased to be assured of a favorable
outcome. On the other hand the wheat
crop, from all appearances, win be large,
and n liberal market awaits it. !.
The failure of the Buffalo banks has
not disturbed the general banking situa-
ton, but the recent organization of so
many small banks is looked on by some
as a possible source of future danger
Banks under present conditions are not
rediscounting as they have at times in
the past. Chicago business maintains its
average of gain well. Bank elearings N
the city for the first half of the year in
creased 91a per cent over the record for
the corresponding period of 1900. The
prospect at the opening of the last six
months of 1901 is for a continuation of
steady improvement in general business.
Interest is being attracted to the
money market by the sudden advance in
call money rates in Wall street Wednes-
day. The banks called loans in order to
be fortified against any unexpected trou-
BILE which might arise during the holiday
taken by the New York Stock Exchange
from the close on Wednesday until the
following Monday morning. The demand
for money which their action caused pvt
rates up as high as % per cent. Con
trary to expectation the position of the
New York associated banks has not i'm
proved. A further loss of S3,2I2,G1o in
the reserve shown in Saturdays state
ment does not promise immediate return
TO the nominal rates of two weeks ago.
1t is only for speculative uses that high
rates are quoted. though the market for
commercial purposes has become firmer.
The three days holiday and the heat
left little room for activity in the New
York stock market. The chief develop
ment of the week was the declaration OF
dividends on the preferred and common
stocks of the United States Steel Cor
noration. Wall street was disappointed
that the dividends were not specifically
stated as quarterly. or semi-annually
even. and sold the stocks. The general
market was lower in sympathy.

HEAT spoILs THE pAvEMENTs.
Bra ks Thrown Into the Air From
Kansas City Streets.

During the past few days while the
sun was beating down with extraordi-
nary heat the brick payements in Kan
sas City have slowly expanded and
bulged out in the center, until, like vol
canoes. the streets have spouted bricks
into the air, sometimes to a height or
ten feet. This has taken place on dozen
streets and the contractors have all been
notified to make immediate repairs. The
damage viii reach $4,000. The con-
tinusd heat had undoubtedly expanded
