Mr.. SHAW WILL AID BANKS
Steps Taken 10 Relieve The Financial
Situation.
TO PREPAY OCTOBER INTEREST.
Has Decided TO Anticipate the October Interest
on Bonds Amounting to $1,000, O,O0O-Arang-
ments Have Also Been Made by tbs Treas
ury Department to Release si,ooO,0Oo Of the
Treasury Holdings.

Washington (SpeciaD.-Secretary OF
the Treasury Shaw has decided to an
ticipate the October interest on Gov
ernment bonds, amounting to about
S4, 2oo, 900, and has directed the various
subtreasuries to cash such coupons as
may be presented for payment. The
Treasurer OF the United States has also
been directed to mail checks for. inter
est on the regular bonds. This action
has been taken in view OF the high
call-money rates in New York and the
possibility OF further advance.
Arrangements have also been made
by the Treasury Department TO release
S4,ooo,ooo OF the Treasury holdings. a
list has been prepared of those national
banks which held free or unpledged
bonds at the date OF their last report
Notice has been given such banks that
il they will send these bonds to the
United States Treasurer in sums OF
$4,000 or more they will be designated
as temporary repositories, and the face
value OF the bonds will be deposited
with them to the credit OF the Treas
urer of the United States
This course has been pursued i'll pref
erence to designating repositories in
the ordinary way and compelling them
to purchase bonds in the market at
a larger premium thus paying more
for the bonds than they secure from
the Government.
For the past two months the customs
receipts OF the Government have been
unusually heavy. and there is a fair
prospect that they will continue to be
large for several months. The cash
balance in the Treasury has been grad
ually increasing, while the receipts have
exceeded the expenditures even with
the war taxes abolished.
No apprehension is felt by Secretary
Shaw on account of the high money
rate in New York. Attention is di-
rected to the fact that there cannot
possibly be money famine elsewhere
than in New York. and even in that
city the rate is not considered high
for commercial paper. Thus far Secre-
tary Shaw has made requests only OF
such banks as hold large deposits and
have a very limited circulation. He
is not asking these to increase to the
maximum nor to increase at all for the
present.
1t is the Secretary's desire to make
the best possible use OF the free bonds
now held by the banks, and incidentally
to encourage banks to hold free bonds
during the dull months He believes
it is much better to hold bonds that
will yield I I-2 per cent. than to make
call loans at 2 per cent, He is, there
lore, giving the banks that hold these
free bonds an opportunity to use them
to the best advantage.

Al SIS Per Ton.

Chicago, Ill. (SpeciaD aD.-Anthracite
coal sold in Chicago at the highest
figure quoted in years. The Weaver
Coal Company sold several orders OF
a high grade at SIS ton and some at
$40. These prices, while not general,
are in the face OF a hard coal famine in
the city, and they indicate what may
be expected unless a supply OF anthra-
cite soon reaches town.
Dealers declare that an average price
On anthracite cannot possibly be quoted

where those who must have coal at
any price are practically bidding to Sc
cure what they can OF the scant supply

gone up in price to 10 per cent with
in few days, and coke, the best sub
stitute for hard coal. was quoted at SIz
to SI3 a ton, double the price asked
September I. While citizens are
alarmed at the gravity OF the situation,
dealers are also worried, as they have
not been in long time over the out
look. A speedy settlement OF the
strike would adjust matters in time and
prices would drop TO a reasonable
figure, but the uncertainty OF the tu-
ture is causing fright among citizens
and dealers alike

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Wilson Pleased With Crops.

Secretary Wilson has returned from a
trip through the West, and sunna- =
lied the agricultural conditions in the
States he visited.
These States included Nebraska,
Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. He said crops were generally
abundant i'll that region. There will
be a corn crop" he said Corn now
is substantially out of the way OF the
frost.
The corn crop in parts OF Kansas,
Nebaska and Indiana probably is the
finest on record. There have been
depending on the ripening OF this crop
this year than the ordinary person ever
has realized. While the crop is lit
tie bit late, any danger OF its failure
can now be considered over. The crop
may not be a record breaker, but its
quality is splendid, and, with the ex-
ception OF the Southern States, the
yield per acre is very heavy. In the
South the drouth has somewhat affect
ed the corn crop.
THE wheat crop of the West this
year is also very fine, and what may be
considered as really the most import
ant crop OF all-the grass crop--is ex-
ceedingly good. The census tells us
that there has been a great increase
during the last 10 years in the number
OF cattle in the United States. This
information, taken together with the
fine crop OF grass, insures lower prices
OF meat do not believe that the price
OF meat, however, will ever be as low
as it has been in -.he past, for the sim
pie reason that the American people
are more prosperous than ever before
and are eating more meat than ever
before. However, the exceedingly high
prices OF meat will be a thing OF the
past as soon as the present feeders get
fattened up to beef condition. An
other thing that will tend to keep the
price OF meat a little above the former
low price is the demand OF England
for our meats"

proposed Cuban loan OF SIS 900.
Administration officials have grave
doubts as to whether Cuba can repay
the money it intends to borrow. The
obtaining OF money and failure to pay
either interest or principal would cause
serious complications.
Those officials who have recently dis
cussed the Cuban loan believe that un-
der the Platt amendment the United
States reserved the right to supervise
Cuban finances so as to prevent such
mortgages to foreign creditors as
would eventually bring the island under
domination OF some European Power.
There is an impression here that the
Administration will seek to persuade
President Palma to veto the loan bill.
