MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The week opened with the smallest trading at
the Stock Exchange for any full day since
August 10, 1900, but subsequently there APP
peared decided improvement in the volume of
business and a moderate advance in the avera ge
of quotations. The better feeling due to d
general impression that neither operators nor
coal miners would persist in the strike when
they became fully cognizant of the extent to
which the entire nations industrial prosperity
was involved There was also a good influence
from the better knowledge which followed
the publication of correspondence previously
withheld. The public had been very much in
the dark s the actual cause of the strike.
and the uncertainty a bad feature The
best influence, however, exercised by the
progress of agricultural products. Each day of
favorable weather puts the crops further from
danger, and the average condition OF all vege-
tation is exceptionally good for this date. When
this fact is considered in connection with the
largely increased acreage under cultivation the
outlook for continued expansion of railway
earnings is most cheering. Each months report
of traffic for a number of years has shown Il
fair gain earlier statements, and increased
facilities will assure still further gains if the
distribution of merchandise receives no check.
Money market conditions have not altered,
except that firm tone followed the first
rangements to finance the unprecedented mid
summer interest payments, which will commence
on July l. This factor prominent in the
market for short time loans. but otherwise the
demand for funds was light. At per cent, the
rate for loans industrial collateral there was
little inquiry, and commercial borrowing was
also limited. Most commitments were in
the form OF call loans. which ruled at about 3
per cent. Domestic exchange on New-York at
the leading cities a premium. and the
balance these interior transfers favored local
institutions. Sub-Treasury operations continued
TO absorb funds. but this factor is temporary in
character. as large pension and interest dis
bursenlents are approaching, and in two weeks
internal revenue payments will decrease. while
there will be more less redemption of unused
stamps. While the banks holding large re-
