from the National Soldiers home at San

No doubt the admiral and General Merritt
both thought that they had made an agree

Yet the fact remains that Captain General
Augutin was relieved because he was willing
to make such "a capitulation, while his sue
cessor refused to do so.
General Merritt directed me to draw up the
tactical order for the attack. and this was
done on the assumption that there would be
a bona fide resistance. In the. attack and the
preceding skirmishes we lost 122 killed and
wounded. If the city was surrendered as g
result of definite understanding, what was

Was it that American soldiers were to be

which will probably be available for the
purposes OF the financial community In the
next few weeks Ia also beginning to be asked
q little seriously. There can, OF course,
be nc great seriousness about the matter
while the rate for the use Of money whose
return can DO demanded at any time keeps
between 2 and 8 per cent; and the inflow
and outgo of money at this centre Ia now
50 complicated by the operations Of trust
companies, syndicates, and the puzzling
problem Of foreign exchange and credits
that any views as TO the future of money
are really hopeless. There has been as yet
no reasonable explanation Of the enormous
increase In loans Of the Associated Banks
here since the first Of the year. IL these
loans were made. directly or indirectly.
In preparation for an advance In prices
that has nov been postponed, the loans
may decrease as rapidly as they were
swelled; or the advance may occur and the
loans, having been already made. show no
enlargement. The first OF April Is q great
settlement day. and tight money is often
experienced In the time Immediately pre-
ceding it. The news last Saturday OF the
huge increase In bank clearings for the week
all over the country was properly estimated
as a most gratifying proof Of the rising
heights to which legitimate business is
climbing. From the point OF view OF a
business man pure and simple, the fact
Is an inspiring one. But in the eye Of a
speculator for the rise in stocks. the matter
is not. just at this time. quite so exhilara-
ting. These enormous bank clearings and
the heavy discount at which New York
exchange Is now selling In all the interior
cities show hat there Is an unusual de-
mand from the interior now pressing for
funds upon bank reserves In this city. b
fact n the large impending special chip
ments OF money TO San Francisco. the big
gold exports proceeding without abate-
ment Of the foreign exchange rate, the
locking up Of money In the Treasury In
increasing volume, with the loans Of banks
here the largest on record and bank re-
serves very low for the season, certainly
make higher ratSs for the use Of money
seem inevitable Such a rise In money
rates. however, often does not affect a
speculative market adversely. II no great
speculative movement has been In prog
ress. that is, II there are no large number
Of weak holders OF securities to be frightened
by the high interest charges confronting
them into throwing their stocks upon the
market. 1t Is certain hat there has been
no public speculative interest TO amount
to anything In our local market for a con-
siderable period. On the other hand, stocks
are at q very high level, and whoever is
carrying them has to borrow a great deal
OF money to do 1t with. PHILIP KING.
