MONEY AND EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK. Aug 23-The local
money market developed a somewhat
firmer tone during the past week. The
demand for both call and time accom-
mediation was larger than in the pre-
vious week, and lenders were disposed
10 offer funds more cautiously than has
been the case recently. Money on call
ranged between 3 and > per cent. the
average rate for the week being about 4
per cent. On Monday The bulk OF the
business was transacted at the high
figure. but thereafter borrowers were
able 10 obtain accommodation at from
2Ia 10 4 per cent. This decline in rate
was directly due to the arrival Of funds
in rather larger amounts from nearby
out ut-of-town institutions. which were at
tracted by the prevailing rates, and
were offered with considerable freedom.
In time contracts some loans were re-
ported at AZ per cent on high grade Sc
curities. but the general market was
quoted firm at ) per cent for all dates up

active than in the previous week. but

POPULARITY OF DOGS.
Larger Number of CANNES Sold Than
Ever Before.

The breeding and sale of dogs of all
varieties has within the last few
years become an extensive. if not a
lucrative business. says the American
Field" The great increase In the num-
Der of sportsmen has brought about a
corresponding increase in the demand
for good field dogs. and the require
uents OF fashion, capriciOus in this re-
spect as in all else. have opened a
large market for the sale of dogs.
II has not been many years since the
gentleman who would have charged n
friend or brother sportsman a money
price for 4 puppy from his fayorite
bitch would have lost caste. Dog deal
ers of the oiden time were not sports
men and the business was confined to
a class that neither sought nor expect
ed recognition as gentlemen. awhile he
who would have asked or received pay
for the services OF a dog would have
been ostracised at once. In those DAYS
the owner OF well-bred bitch at
whelping time was so much more for
tunate than his brother sportsmen in
having puppies to give to his friends.
no thought of their sale ever entered
his mind. And this condition applied
not alone to sporting dogs. but to the
non sporting as well.
This is all changed. we DO not mean
to assert that dogs are no longer pre-
sented by one friend to another, but only
that what was once the rule is row the
exception. and he who makes such Il gift
at the present day intends it as mark
Of high esteem or il is the natural out
come of the close and friendly intimacy
between the donor and the receiver. As
a rule. he who desires to possess a we'll
bred dog goes into the market as a buyc:
and pays at, a good round price. whether
he buys from friend or stranger. And
why should not this be so? Men seldom
give away pedigreed horses. aud not often
DO we hear of fine cattle changing Cwn-
srs except by barter or sale: then why
should sportsmen donate well5rei pup
pies with fixed market value TO n
chance acquaintance or as nsighboriy
act? We may sigh at the recollection of
the extinct llberality of the past espc-
cially If we lack canine owIersnip. bat
we can hardly expect neighbOr Strong,
who is fortunate enough TO own II we'll
bred bitch to invite us over to take the
pick of the litter at weaning time.

Schumacher 6 Co.. in their weekly re-
view, say: Whatever exchange it was

as bare OF bills as it was before.
The supply of commercial bills was
not as large as expected; in fact, not
even as large as last week, while we
had expected an increase.
Part of the demand which caused the
weeks reaction is attributed to require
ments in payment of the American sub
scriptions to the last English govern
ment loan. Since the demand has thus
again overtaken the supply, bankers
loan bills have again made their ap-
pearance after having disappeared for Il
time. In the absence OF commercial bills
our bill buyers naturally have 10 buy

of money in Europe is becoming more
