Call Money a DRUG.

Against the array of Hnfavorabl BILE symp-
toms ana fiurries stand out the fact that
call money is a drug on the market at l
per cent and that borrowers OF time
funds have no trouble In making six
months arrangements ON the basis of 3
per cent or of borrowing to March l
next year at a 3I2 per cent rate In
stead OF worrying over the necessity for
money to move the crops next autumn
banks hail with delight the prospects of
a demand for that account as il will re-
lease large aecumuations of capital now
hopelessly idle.
The associated banks of New York have
a surplus over legal requirements of ap-
proXimately $60.000000. The trust com
panles are also staggering under a bur-
den OF too much money. Commercial re-
ports indicate a fairly satisfactory condi-

Crop Damage Doubted.

Wall street refuses to believe that there
mas been serious crop damage affecting
large areas. Reports from the north
west of the destruction of an immense
acreage of spring wheat by rust are held
to be gross exaggerations inspired by bull
chques on the Chicago Board of Trade
ana Il contingent in the stock market
supposedly caught short of the secure
ties of northwestern railroads.
The most Industrious crop killer of the
year Is a Minnesota expert who figured
some years ago as the author of a famous
Hold Your Wheat" circular, having Its
origin in the fertile imagination of the
late George H. Pillshury. The circular
IN question was put out under the aus
piees of the Farmers Alliance and Its
object was to induce farmers to hold
their wheat for 81 a bushel. They hold
back supplies long enough to ena Bile Pills
bury and his associates to unload specu-
lative holdings of many million bushels
and sell short huge lines. In other
words, the device gave the grain gam

the utterance with more than idle curios-

The Iron Situation.

Painful efforts are being made to min
imize reports Of serious disturbance in
the iron trade. Iron and steel special
lists are going about making public an
nouncement that there is nothing se-
riously or fundamentally the matter with
the iron business and that fears need not
be entertained of decentralization in that
quarter. The explanations and denias
and demurrers have about as bad an eff
