Wall Street Must Help Itself.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Secretary Shaw
declines to say anything for publication as
to the attitude of the Treasury Department
in regard to the present money stringency
in New York. There is reason to believe,
however. that no action whatever is con-
templated now or at any time in the near
future, and certainly not as long as the
interests involved are not extended to the
substantial business operations of the coun-
try outside OF its present limited area. 1t
is understood that the department takes
the position that the government is not in
volved in the present situation, and that
Wall street must rely on its own resources
to tide over the present stringency. At this
time the treasury has no available cash
ance approximating SIS, 100000, and it is
not it's present purpose to further reduce
this sum by making additional deposits in
national bank depositaries or otherwise.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-Reports to
the Reading Railway offices show that the
mines of the company on Thursday reached
the high-water mark of production since
the resumption Of mining with an output
of 1906 cars from its thirty-one collieries
This is practically the normal output of the
company. With a continuance of this pro-
duction and the probability of its being
considerably increased when the company
gets its remaining collicries in operation
connected with a gradual increase from
other sections Of the anthracite region,
there is a fair prospect of relief from the
present coal stringency, and more hopeful
view of the future is being taken by the
trade.
READING, Pa, Dec. 13.-The Reading
Company is taxed to its utmost to keen
the coal traffic moving. Up to tonight
the company has transported about 1O,5O0
cars of coal for the past week of nearly
$4,000 tons. All the collieries are worked
TO their full capacity. Never before in the
history of the anthracite regions has there
been such activity.
