MONEY RATES EASY
This the Most Favorable Feature
Many Potential Elements
&. Of Strength.
Leading Centers Report Good. Trade
Future Business Is Prom
Using. 5

New York, Oct. 16 Special telegraphic
advices to the International Mercantile
Agency from correspondents turnout the
United States and Canada are Summarized
as follows: Anxiety as to- money and the
crops has almost disappeared and .nner-
chants west and south look for livelier
demand from the country districts now
that good corn and wheat yields are as
sured. Mercantile collections are better
than expected in territory tributary to
Chicago, New Orleans and st. Louis ex-
cept from parts, in Texas. But the most
significant trade feature Of the week Is
found in a tendency to greater ease in
money for mercantile uses at Boston, Phil
adelphia, Chicago and Pittsburg. st. Louis
bankers anticipate like conditions there
soOn SloWness in marketing crops has
made funds relatively closer at st. Louis,
but banks are meeting business needs. A
careful canvass west, northwest and south,
shows that speculative indigestion in Wall
street has not affected the financial situa-
tion.s The recent revival of request for
good bonds at New York has been followed
by some investment inquiry at sPhiladel-
phia. ~ $500
+ Checks in industrial lines are regarded
as likely to react upon general trade but
the commercial situation is believed by
bankers and merchants to contain po-
ltential elements of strength in the crop
| situation, slight decline in imports and
present and prospective gains in exports.
While jobbing dry goods trade has been
slow buyers are anxious for terms for flu
ture delivery. The piece silk industry is
depressed. Restriction Of output Of pig
iron has stimulated western consumers
and a stronger tone Is observed. Cincin-
natl reports a very active demand for
whiskies and spirits. st. Paul,s wholesale
trade this season is equal to that in 1902
and ST. Louis wholesale merchants an
nounce a remarkably favorable year
In dry goods and Kindred lines Chicago
has outdone all records, while at Balti-
more an average volume of business had
been transacted. Jobbing has been good
! at Philadelphia, is increasing at New Or
Ileans, excellent at Atlanta, and was never
better at Pittsburg The Baltimore can
ming season has been fairly satisfactory.
Winter wheat sowing has progressed IA
i 5vorably. Prospects for a top crop Of cot
ton have decreased. Rice receipts al
southern markets have been quite free
/ Crude oil prices are up IL cents within
4 two weeks. # #s##s
In the Canadian dominion there is a
i good demand for heavy winter goods. The
wheat harvest there is exceptionally large
and growers are receiving about rs cents
4 a bushel for it. The increase of $200,000,-
900 gain in loans and discounts by ma
i tional banks between Sept. 49, 1902, and
i Sept. 8, 1908, is explained from the office
4 Of the controller of the currency to be
largely due to the fact that between those
i dates there were chartered 529 nationa
i banks, with capital, surplus, undivided
profits, circulation, government deposits
and rediscounts Of $780, 00. 900.

Fifty-Sevcnth Annual Function Was
a Most Enjoyable Annir.
The ffty-seventh annual ball of the
German Volunteers. which was held at
the Knights of Pythias Hall last night,
was a most enjoyable affair. Besides
the active members of the command,
who were present in uniform, there
were many of the honorary and pay
member class as guests. The company
is an old one. and has on its roster
the names of many of the most distin-
guished Germans of Savannah. Many
of these were present, too. to add to
the enjoyment which the occasion af-
forded.
The dancers assembled in the ball
room on the third floor, where, to the
strains of music, discoursed by Tar
rants orchestra. they chased the glow
ing hours with flying feet, until mid
night. At that hour all present re-
paired to the dining hall below, where
an elegant supper had been prepared
by the lady friends of the command.
Covers had been laid for $50 guests,
and when they We're seated it was
found that not a seat remained vacant.
The table was prettily set with pot
palms and maiden hair ferns, which
added no little to the attractiveness of
the board.
A delightful wine punch was served
during the intermissions. The lancierS
played a prominent part in the dance,
the figures being called by Mr.. c. P.
Waddell. The occasion was greatly
enjoyed by all present, and it was not
until the wee sma' hours that the
guests reluctantly left for their homes.

WILL PAVE THE STREET.
East broad street TO Receive Atten-
ton of City Council.


ton of City Council.
The passing Of an ordinance to pave
East Broad street with vitrified brick
from Jones to Gwinnett streets will
probably be one of the last acts of the
present Council.
The ordinance was introduced by Al
derman Watson, chairman Of The
Streets and Lanes Committee, several
weeks ago and when placed upon its
second reading was laid on the table
until members of the board could look
over the street. There appears TO be
a general wish TO have the street
paved. and the ordinance will probably
be passed at the last regular meeting
of the present board.
The paving Of the street from Jones
TO GWinnett by the city will mean a
paved street from Bay to Henry and
direct route to Collinsville and the
southeastern section of the city. That
part Of East Broad street that il is
proposed to pave seems to be badly in
need of attention, and at a recent ire
on Huntingdon and East Broad streets
one of the fire engines stopped short
in the heavy sand.
1t has been stated that there will
probably be additional warehouses On
this street, and that traffic will be in
creased. Already there is a grist mill
and a marble yard in close proximity,
and it is believed that a majority of
the present board will favor the paw
ing of the few blocks named in tNe
ordinance introduced by Alderman
Watson.
