ing recently. but the money stringency
has by no means passed, and high rates
have ruled again this week in the last
1t is true there is no scarcity of money
i'll the West. and that the western banks
have abundant funds for all purposes
But these western banks have been draw
ing down their eastern reserves and it Is
predicted that the return flow of money
to New York will be later this year than
usual. There are some different features
this year to the western situation. an il
lustration of which is found in the South
west and central West. There the corn
crop failed last year and in many locali-
ties hogs and cattle were rushed TO mar
ket, as feedstuffs had advanced 20 alb
normally high prices. This year there
| is one of the largest corn crops the coun-
try has ever produced. probably One-nalf
of which will be fed to stock. 1t is n
reasonable supposition that farmers who
cleaned out their establishments last year.
will now restock and there will be late
demand for money for this purpose which
| the banks must supply.
The movement of so much of this corn
| as will be marketed will be under way
| early in November. which will mean a
| heavily increased railway tonnage. and
| that which remains on the farms will
| make heavy live stock shipments some
/ months later. This means good business
| fer the banks and railroads. increased
activity in all business lines and finally
cheaper meats for the people. And it also
foresh adows the car famine slowly creep
ing upon the railroads of the West.
OF all sections of the country the
Northwest leads in the enjoyment of pros

unimpaired by anything of an unfavora-
bic nature if We except the handicap oc-
casioned by the inability of the railroads
to move rapidly the immense tonnage Of

The government report says the three
States, Minnesota. North and South pa-

business and there is the promise of its
