Relief in Local Money Market.

Another method of relief for the local
money market has been the transfer of
stock holdings to London to be held there
for account of American owners with funds
borrowed in the cheaper London money
market.
Foreign banking houses have also lent
money In New York through the medium of
the exchange market. The allotment of a
full half of the new $50, 600 600 Japanese
loan to American subscribers is accepted as
a striking demonstration of the abundant
capital resources of our markets, In spite of
the present expansion of our money require

The routine news OF the week has shown
no change in the highly prosperous and ex-

The shrinkage in the demand for bonds
has been more conspicuous than In the

the wheat market here had a firm tone at

higher at 1.121a to SLIPS. July was up a
shade to Ease, at 9015c. to 902c. The ex-
cellent outlook for the new crop, however,
induced some selling of July, and in conse-
quence that option declined to 90A. Many
operators were considerably disturbed by
rumors that the May deal was not yet fin

Wall street coterie to force the price of that
option to a much higher level
The fact that one of the recognized lead
ers of these eastern specula tors in Chi

gossip.

NEW YORK, March &c. 1905
New York has the biggest bank on this
continent, and, of course, 1t Is the Rookie
Teller bank-the National City. The de-
posits and current accounts of this insti-
tuition at the end of the last fiscal year
were $259, 0OO, 600. The same accounts
in the Bank of England were $3.50. 200, 600;
Russia, SOS, 600. 600; France, $196. 0o0, 600,
and Germany, $130,OOOOOe. The loans of
the National City Bank are in excess of
$1so,O0O,OOO. The Imperial Bank of Ger
many has loaned s267 100000; France, $780,
100000, and Russia, $203, 100000.
The National City Bank in it's statement
of resources shows an aggregate of $500
251, 1876 The only other New York banks
that approach it in their showing of re-
sources are the Hanover National Bank and
the National Park Bank. The National
City Bank is the principal Standard OH de-
pository, and it is largely funds of that
institution that make it's astounding show
ing. The Hanover is also very closely al
lied with the Rockefelers and their inter-
ests, and it's near approach to it's sister in
stitution is doubtless due largely to that
fact.
A significant incident showing the grow
ing demand for American investment secu-
rites by foreign buyers developed at Boston
this week, when it was found that the sub
scriptionS to the American Telephone bonds
included d large number of foreign bidders,
who received allotment of upward of
$10,000,000 of the issue. Foreign investors
have long been active buyers of American
railroad securities, but they have fought
somewhat shy of American industrial in
vestments, and the fact that such bonds as
those issued by the telephone company have
found favor abroad is pleasant testimony
to the growing credit of this country and of
it's industrial enterprises in Europe There
is large amount of money in Europe seek
ing investment, and it is likely that in
the course of the current year there will be
an important movement of funds from the
other side into the attractive stocks and
bonds of American railroad and industrial
corporations Proof was offered this week
of European readiness to advance us funds
whenever the rates become attractive,
which may encourage those behind the up
ward movement N the stock market to fur
Their efforts.

YELLOW FEVER STILL
CAUSES GREAT
ALARM
STATE AID IS ASKED FOR

NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept. H.
Twenty-seven new cases of yellow
fever and seven deaths from the dis.
ease within the city limits were re-
ported yesterday. Altogether there
have been 2.4ss cases of yellow fever
reported. Appeals are now being
made by the country towns for finan.
eial aid from the State, with which to
carry on quarantine and sanitary
work, local funds in many instances
having been exhausted. Patterson
has already been granted State aid
by Governor Blanchard.
Doctor Souchon has wired Govern.
or Blanchard that the citizens Of Tai
lulah have fallen out with DR.. Itch
enor, the health officer sent there to
take charge of the health situation.
The Tallulah people have wired to
the governor asking for yellow fe-
yer expert evidently having disre-
garded DR.. Tichenor's claim as such.
1t is held by some that the extra

of the temporary cloth coverings of
the cisterns to replace them with
wire screens. workmen say clouds of
mosquitoes have come from the un.
covered cisterns in some instances
driving them from their work. This
shows. II the reports are true. that
the cisterns have not been oiled as
well as screened. as the regulations
require. The labor situation with re.
gard to the sugar crop is deemed very
serious. Yesterday mass meeting
of the principal sugar planters of st.
Mary's parish was held, Lieutenant
Governor Sanders being present at
which the labor situation was dis
clssed in detail.
A committee of eleven prominent
planters was appointed to communi.
cate with the health authorities in an
endeavor to secure the necessary
quarantine notifications to allow the
Italian cutters to be brought from
New Orleans and other points into
the sugar fields. The sugar planters
explained that the situation was to
them of vital importance.
