Regarding the present money situa-
ton 9 new York financial writer says
A change in the situation in money
Is expected to take place this week,
but it viii not be especially important,
and it presumably will be one Of brief
duration The checks sent out for the
July l interest and other payments
will cause a substantial decline in the
cash holdings of the banks, which will
be shown In part in next SATURDAYS q
bank statement. The average system
upon which the statement is made MP
viii prevent full reflection of the loss
in-cash. It will be necessary to wait
until the statement a week later is is
sued to ascertain the entire extent Of
the withdrawal of cash. About that
time. but hardly before. the cash,
through its expenditure or reinvest-
ment, will begin to, return to the
banks and will be accompanied. by a
growth of ease in the money market.
while the banks are losing cash, there
must be some calling and shifting of
loans, with some advance in rates.
There is. however, 30 very much
money available and so much less re-
quirment for it in the customary chan
nels. that there need be no apprehen-
sion of high rates until the demand
for cropmoying purposes develops,
which will not be for several weeks.

Secret and sensational action was
taken yesterday in the United States
District Court regarding the Detroit
Southern Railroad.
Upon petition of bondholders. and
after hearing in chambers, Judge
Thompson decided to throw the com
pany into a receivership.
Samuel Hunt, President of the road.
was selected by the Court as receiver.
There have been rumors for some
time regarding the financial condition
of the Detroit Southern. 1t was the
understanding that the company was
barely keeping its head above the
water. The startling action OF yester-
day was precipitated by the inability
Of the company to pay the interest on
its bonded Indebtedness, which fell
on June 1.
The greater portion of tue Detroit
Southern lies within the state of Ohio
The road is 3Si miles long. It extends
from Detroit, Mich, through tier of
rich agricultural counties, Logan coun.
ty being one of them. along the west
ern border of Ohio to Ironton, Ohio,
through the heart of one of the richest
mineral sections in the state.
Until May 25, 1901, the road existed
as two distinct entities, VIZ: the De-
troit and Lima Northern Railway and
the Ohio Southern Railway. Prior to
that date the former road had sought
to gain an entrance to the Ohio coal
fields by way of Columbus. A traffic
arrangement was made with the Ohio
Central lines by means of which the
D. and L. N. operated through passen-
ger trains via Lima and Peoria from
Detroit to Columbus.

How readily Americans ''move'' is
shown by the fact that hardly two

In the data showing the commercial
failures for the frs. half of the year.
This showing is unfsvorable, with
the largest Eumber of failures in this
period since 1898. and with the largest

and favorable feature of the exhibit,
however, is the improving tendency
displayed.
