freely at decline of sc to 1Oc, with
most of the sales 10c lower. About
the middle of the day the situation
was weaker, but finally all kinds

There was more discrimination

SPECULATION ON TREASURY DEPOSITS.

Secretary Shaw has taken the right course
In refusing TO countenance the use OF govern
ment funds thrown into the market to relieve
a situation partly due TO reckless spectators
for the carrying OF their speculation TO still
greater excess. II may be difficult for him TO
enforce his rule IN all cases, but his require
ment Is a sound one that banks receiving the
present public deposits made necessary TO re-
lieve the legitimate demands of business shall
loan the money In their own localities and ar
regular interest rates. II would be perfectly
proper for him TO follow up this warning by
the withdrawal Of deposits from banks which
might be detected IN sending this money to New
York 20 be loaned on call at extravagant rates.
The call rates quoted IN the last few days
on the Stock Exchange are not creditable to our
financial system or it's leaders, They indicate
manipulation OF the grossest character. which
the great interests IN control OF the market
should not tolerate. At time when all avail
able money is needed for moving crops and
other actual business operations, and stringency
with moderately high rates is naturally to be
expected, a perfectly artificial movement OF
speculation is started, buyers are encouraged to
borrow money at usurious rates and vast sums
are drawn here which should normally be en-
ployed elsewhere. The banks ought not 70 en-
courage such movements, but apparently the
appetite for exorbltant returns Is irresistible to
they promote boons, which promise 20 create
money stringency.
Such methods are bad enough when employed
In the manipulation OF the normal currency
supply. 1t is intolerable that they should be
employed to Illustrate the very relief from them
which the government is induced TO give the
business community. Reckless speculation ham,
pered legitimate business and forced rates TO
a point where the stock traders were fright
ened and prices threatened 10 break. Instead
OF showing restraint in the face Of the danger,
when the Secretary relieved the strain the spec
ulatOrs. with the aid OF some bankers made II
the excuse for going to still greater extremes.
He rightly protests. There is no excuse for
such rates as have recently prevailed here, ex-
cept, perhaps, in time of extraordinary emer-
gency. Banks should make their loans at rea-
sOnable rates and. instead Of fomenting specu-
latiOn In time Of stringency. should limit their
accommodations for such purposes and prevent
manipulated movements, which the only
ones which would occur with such extravagant
interest charges.

MANCHESTER CANAL PROSPERITY.

From its official statement OF account for the
the Manchester Ship Canal is swiftly adyanc-
ing in prosperity. In that half year the ton
mage of its shipping. mostly sea borne traffic
was 2.243,1 1876 tons. against 1893 127 tons in the
corresponding half year of 1905, an increase OF
more than l. per cent In the same half year
the revenue receipts were f233, 176, against
f20S.745 IN the first half year OF 1905. an in
crease OF nearly II per cent; and the expenses
were f183,SSO. against f12O4JO also an increase
OF nearly II per cent.
These figures and others which accompany
them. all 10 the same purpOrt, may be variously
interpreted but all their interpretations are sat
isfactory. They may mean that Manchester Is
growing and its commerce Is increasing, and
they probably do mean that They may mean
that the general commercial prosperity OF Great
Britain is increasing, and they Also we trust
probably do mean that They certainly mean
that despite dOlOrous representations Of fall
ure, the Manchester Ship Canal is proving
decided commercial and financial success and
in that fact there IS encouragement for this
nation in its enterprise at Panama.
Suez was TO have been an ab1ect and disas-
OF the most profitable enterprises the world
has ever seen Manchester was also 10 have
been something more and worse than the pro-
verbal white elephant In fact, more than 10
per cent Of its revenue receipts is surplus over
expenses-in other words, profits. At that rate
II will soon overcome the arrears OF its earlier
and less successful years and reach the happy
status OF a dividend paying concern

SMALL WATER POWERS.

In a recent issue The Engineering Record"
emphasizes the wisdom of alertness 10 the in
dustrial possibilities of small waterfalls which
have not yet been made TO do any work The
opinion is expressed by that periodical that
number OF streams. or parts OF streams, remain
in the eastern part of the country which might
be thus utilized.
This advice, although intended for another
class Of persOns-prOfessiOnal engineers-may
well be considered by wide-awake farmers and
villagers in the Atlantic states. \ man who
lives in the immediate vicinity OF an unim-
proved water power would be much more likely
