A religious society the marvellous
growth of which in a comparatively
bril- period has been a source of won
der and qualification to its adherents
and promoters is the Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endcavor, which
is now twenty years old. The first
Christian Endeavor Society was form
ed in Portland, Me-. by Rev. F. e.
Clark, then pastor of the Williston
Congregational Church, with the idea
Of arousing interest among the young
people of the congregation in church
work, and after much effort some TWEEN
ty were induced to join. Now there
are in the United States over $1,000
societies and its influence has become
world wide. there being in the British
provinces some 1000 societies and in
other foreign countries 1900. The
total membership of the society is over
100000. The influence exerted by the
Christian Endeavorers in church work
is tremendous and from the present
rate of. growth it is expected that in

SMALL NOTES TO MOVE CROPS--The Bureau
of Engraving and Printing has been running al
most dav and nieht for some time turning out
small notes so that large stock Of bills has been
created such as is needed in the crop movement
in the West Last year the government provided
about 100000 of this kind Of currency while the
banks furnished about much more. So FAR this
wear the shipments of small notes TO the West
amount $4375.OO0. against SS,21oOOO IN the
same period of last year. Treasury officers are Of
the opinion that the volume of small currency is
large enough to meet requirements of the most ex-
acting character.
A VIEW OF CORN CROP DAMAGE.-A prom
inent railroad officer. commenting on the recent
damage to the corn crop in the West, says that so
far as the farmers concerned the damage
from the heat and drouth, instead of meaning loss
to them. will really result in a profit, because the
high prices will lead them to sell large amount
of Old corn which they now have on hand In this
connection II will be interesting to know that OFF,
caI advces received here show that along the lines
of the Wabash Railroad Company there are now
100000 bushels of old corn in the farmers cribs
1t is thought that practically all this corn will be
sold at the present high prices and If this is done
the moving of it, of course, would be item Of
considerable Importance to the Wabash Company.

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

A further boom in exchange. which occurred
Thursday, with market closing in the afternoon
at about 1-16 per cent below the highest point of
the day. At the opening of the market demand
sterling stood at 4SS1sd4SSA. At the close it was
freely offered at 487s. The market about holds its
own now at 4S7S5G4 S795 for demand sterling. We
do not know how to account for such advance
this season. the situation, far see
showing change from that of month ago
when exchange was very much lower than 1t is at
present. We take no stock in the newspaper
theory about an immense short interest, and DO
not believe that it mounts to half of the figure
given in said newspaper review. If there was any
foundation for it exchange for delivery next
month would not now go begging at l1an2c be
low to-day market prices The fact that such de-
liveries are depressed to the point of actual un-
stability shows how little confidence is felt in
that permanence of present prices which would
naturally result from short interest of 100000 COO
in London alone, without counting the short in
much more. It may be that last winters railway
and industrial combinations and the short disturb
ance in stocks and temporary squeeze in money
of last spring caused banks and bankers TO
temporarily use their European credits more freely
than they would otherwise have zone, but what
can it all amount TO in the face of such wheat
crop that of this year. and of all the gold ana
silver and other minerals and metals produced
here during the year. and of all the cotton, pro
visions. petroleum. etc, that have to be Shipped
from here during the autumn?
Meanwhile demand sterling had yesterday morn
ing come TO pretty near the gold export point. The
reaction of the afternoon just came in time 20

BONDS.
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Trading in yesterdays stock market was
hght and price changes were small. Commis-
sion houses were inactive. Substantial specula-
tive interests were not important factors at
the buying and selling movements except in
a few stocks in which special reasons appar-
entity existed for trading. Little interest was
taken in the bank statement. which showed. as
expected. a further increase in cash, but a de-
crease in surplus holdings Loans increased
S794S,700 and deposits increased 50, 500, the
result Of all the changes being decrease in re-
serve above legal requirements Of S1,212, 400.
The reserve now stands at S20952 $50 against
SOS $3.50 year ago, S14,395.375 in 1899 and
S33ll1,S56 in 1893. Holdings of the local banks
are large enough TO meet the interior require
ments without causing any disturbance in
the loan market. but if large gold exports
should be made rates at the centre might
be forced considerably higher. There is
however, no prospect. according to well in
formed bankers. of an important outward
movement Of the precious metal and even
II large exports should be made no permanent
strength in money would develop. Gold is being
received in large amounts from the Klondike
and deposits at San Francisco and Seattle are
available here. through assay office checks.
The course Of stock values in the week just
closed reflected few important operations. but
II indicated strong technical conditions, and
STOCK ownership vested IN strong h2ncS. II was
easier 10 advance prices than 10 put them down.
and the movements in the steel shares plainly
showed that the bear element had, for the time
at least reached the limit Of its influence There
is an enormous amount Of steel stock, but it is
apparently very strongly held. The ordinary
public is not in the market, and it will not be
factor in speculation until current so-called ad-
verse factors have been eliminated from the
situation When that time comes prices will
undoubtedly be from 3 TO 10 points above ruling
figures. The public, however seldom buys until
the bargains have been taken by careful specu-
lators and banking interests.
Trade reports received yesterday showed graft
flying conditions in general business. AS yet the
steel strike has exerted adverse influence
upon other lines of industry and it will be i'm
possible 10 Judge the probable effect until the
test comes this week between the trust mana
gers and the employees. The steel shares have
discounted in market value worse results than
have yet developed. And in fact, about every
stock on the list has lost enough in market
value 10 measure the most serious developments
in the business world. The monthly crop report
was issued after the close of business but early
estimates reflected a general expectation Of
bad statement on corn. Some stocks were sold
on this expectation, and at the end of the two
hours Of trading most shares were under the
preceding days close.
