medicine, brushes. surgical apparatus, per
fume and other departments, concluding

Stringency in New York Causes In
creased Activity and Demand
in st. Louis.
SMALL ADVANCE IN INTEREST.
High Rates in the East Thought
to Be Due to Desire of Bankers
to Hold Speculation in
Check.

| The stringency Of the money market in
New York has had no further effect upon
the local money market than to cause in
creased activity and demand for money.
and an advance OF Z per cent in the rate
OF interest. Local bankers say that there
is ample money here fer all purposes and
no stringency whatever is anticipated.
Bankers say that even in New York there
is ample money for all legitimate CONNER
cial purposes. There has been no advance
to speak OF for commercial paper and the
financial institutions are taking care OF
their customers. The stringency as 1t ex-
lists Is of what is known as cold" money.
used for change loans ant speculation.
In discussing the situation. Charles II.
Huttig. president of the Third National
Bank. said:
IN reality there exists no cash strin-
gency. Statistics show that the volume
OF money in the country is greater now
than at any time In our history. The
large. demand for money is caused by the
immense crops and the general prosperous
condition OF the country. Calls for an
increased volume of creCi.S and the present
active Gemand for money are the best proof
OF this prosperity.
THE larger the crops and commercial
commodities, the greater the amount of
money required to move and handle Them.
AT this time of year high rates are 10 be
expected. / believe that the high rates in
the East may be partially the result OF a
desire on the part OF bankers to hold spec
ulation in check. Legitimate and com
mercial wants are being well taken care OF.
st. Louis balances In New York banks are
greater now than they were this time last
year"
Local brokers and fnancIers generally do
not look upon the present money situation
as in any wise serious. The %stringency In
New York, II is thought. will not be OF
long duration Shortly money will be pour
ing in to the financial centers from all sec
lions of the country. and it is. believed the
small losses made in the stock list will De
recovered.

HAT PIN A LEGAL WEAPON
FOR WOMEN TO EMPLOY.
Justice Robertson In the First Dis
trict Police Court Passes Upon
an Assault.

Justice Robertson, who is acting in the
place Of Judge Sidener IN the First District
Police Court. yesterday delivered an opinion
that makes the hat pin a legal weapon for
a woman who desires to protect herself
from the attack of a man.
The decision came in the case of Miss
Dolly Tracy, who said she lived at No. 3402
Washington avenue. She had been arrested
on complaint of Joseph Posten of No. 2ll7
Eugenia street. Posten charged that Miss
Tracy stabbed him with a hat pin.
Miss Tracy admitted having used the hat
pin, but declared that Posten attacked her,
and, she said. she converted the fastening
for her ~headgear into a weapon in self-de-
feuse. Judge Robertson. after further
questions. brought out the fact that Posten
and Miss Tracy fought on North Tenth
street; that Poster used his fist on the
young woman and was about to repeat the
attack when she resorted to the woman's
most favorite weapon-noiseiess, hard to see
and capable of making a painful wound
the hat7pin.
IT think you were justified IN using the
hat pin on him." said Judge Robertson adj
drassing Miss Tracy. IF you had stabbed
him q few times more l believe you would
have done right. You are discharged, but
l shall fine Poster SO. You never should
have been brought into court"
