MONEY AND EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK, April 29.-That last
weeks per cent rate for call loans was
entirely artificial was brought out in a
clear light by the events of the current
week. The highest figure was per
cent and that was paid for only q few
loans at the very inception of business.
After Monday the high point settled
down To SA per cent and most of the
business was done at 2$403 per cent.
Liquidation on the Stock Exchange, ac-
eofnpanied by further heavy declines in
security prices, naturally reduced the
wants Of brokers. but an Increased sup
ply of money was available from vari-
Gus sources and this helped to bring
rates down to IL lower level The aver
age of the week compares very favor
ably with the situation at this time in
previous years.

the market was almost coIorless, al
though 1t was practically a foregone
conclusion from yesterday afternoon
that ii would be under pressure today

steel stocks quite heavily, but bought
2o,uUO shares of others.
Within fifteen minutes of the opening
the pressure of stock became great and
a fall in prices was not checked until
momentarily during the last ten min
utes- Even then the rally was most
transient. The closing prices were close

were current, but there was no news of

of spectators have been badly hurt and

WITH THE BROKERS.

It's ten or nothing. This relates to
the new members of the Washington
Stock Exchange. Thus far seven appif-
cations have come to the secretary. but
unless all the ten additional seats au-
thortzed by the board are applied for
none will be sold. 1t must be borne in
mind. IN explanation of this condition.
that the proceeds of the sale of these
ten seats are to 90 toward the erec-
ton OF & building for the exclusive use
of the Washington Stock Exchange
ana unless all are sold the project falls
to the ground.
Considerable surprise was expressed
and not a little regret-when it be-
came known that William r. Gurley,
one of the original members OF the ex-
change and one of its most popular
constituents. had sold his seat. MIR. Cur
ley confesses that the prices, 600

was too great temptation for him to
resist. Everybody will wish VIII Cur
ley godspeed in whatever he may choose
to undertake. and every member of the
exchange WarbleS to him: Say au
reVoir. but not good-by."
Bankers and the business community
in general are greatly pleased with the
with the local government repositories
a sum equal to about two-thirds Of the
amount collected in the way of taxes,
as this course Will obviate any strtn-
gency resulting from the withdrawal
OF something ike S., 600, 600 from local
circulation and its sequestration in the
vaults of the Treasury. Secretary Shaw
recognizes and appreciates the fact that
such procedure is an abSurdity in a
community as large as Washington.
No one is more pleased with the ac-
ton of the Secretary than Senator Ell
kins, who, last winter introduced a bill
aiming at the very reform which Mr..
Shaw has now introduced 81 am delight
ed said Senator Elkins yesterday,
that the, Secretary has done what I
tried to have done, but failed TO ac-
eomplish because the bill / introduced
to that end failed of passage, being
crowded out by pressure Of other bust
ness. The Secretary's course will re-
lieve the embarrassment necessarily
caused by the withdrawal of so large
an amount from the current funds of
the community"
