general advantage of the farming population OF
the South and West
States has good reason to thank the spectators
The high prices which the products OF the
soil have been elevated put hundreds Of millions
of dollars of additional profits into the pockets Of
farmers west and south OF the Alleghenies.
The unntentional philanthropy of Wall street
during the last two years would be good text
for some clever satirist. Wall street and the
Chicago Board of Trade made a higher market
for cotton, corn wheat, oats and many other
products, and, contrary to the usual custom
paid heavily for the performance. Sully went
broke the end of long bull campaign in cot
ton. Armour may have individually made some
money in grain, but his following in Chicago,
New York and elsewhere lost many. millions.
Wall street made a very high market for mis-
cellaneous holders of Northern Pacific, Louis
VILE az Nashville and other railroad stocks
bought for control. but the cost TO the specua-
heavy. Instances almost without num-
Der might be cited where spectators have given
the public a chance 10 unload at big advantage.
Thus. while part OF the public has lost by
the depreciation in stocks by far the larger
number has been a distinct gamer by the specu-
latve activity OF the financial centers.

The Financer says: One feature OF the state
ment OF the New York banks last week was the
high record for loans and deposits. Another
feature the wide discrepancy between the
estimated and the actual changes in the cash
items. though this may be partially explained
by the fact that the estimates covered seven,
while the returns covered six days OF the bank
week. Still another feature was the very slight
gain in the bank holdings of public funds. indi-
eating that these holdings fully accounted
for in the previous week.

mates, which were based on the traceable move
