The BismIIlah Ceremnnx

A little Moslem when she is four
years four months old goes through
the "Name-of-God,' or Bismillah, cere-
mony-which begins her real life. She
is dressed in cloth-of-gold, with a veil
and wreath of flowers; and friends are
invited to salute the little queen. She
sits on a gold cushion, which must be
borrowed If she hasn't one, and all
the rest sit on the floor. Then an old
mullah recites very slowly a certain
verse from the Koran, which is also
written in saffron on a silver plate

fingers over the words, and stammers

Financial Review,

NEW YORK. June 9.-Thc Financier
1.-The official statement of the New York
associated banks. as was the case in the
previous week, failed fully TO reflect the
receipts of money which had been re-
turned through Treasury transfer from
San Francisco, and hence 1t was disap-
third millions Of funds were received
during the week, and more than six mil
lions In the previous week, the statements
for the fortnight show only 100000 gain
In cash. whereas 1t would seem that
there should have been an average of
nearly six millions.
The discrepancy between the cash
gain by the banks OF s.. 81. 600. as report
ed in the statement last week and the
rectly tTaceable movements other than
those of the Treasury, is accounted for
by extraordinary payments through the
operations OF that Office amounting TO
s., 200 COO on account OF customs internal
revenue. 5 per cent redemption fund and
for other purposes
THE general deposits OF the banks in
corresponds with the sum Of the eNpan-
sion In loans and the Increase In cash.

RALLY IN WHEAT ON
BAD WEATHER REPORT
July Option Is Higher, But the
Bears Are Still in the
Ring.

CHICAGO June 9-Additional evidence
of damage TO wheat By drought was fur
nished today by the Kansas state crop
report which gave the condition of wheat
as 10. against estimate of IS on May l.
A sharp rally followed the publication of
this report, but most OF the gain was lost
later on proft-taking. Tho close was
steady. with the July option quarter
higher. Corn was UP bc Oats were un-
changed Provisions were shade higher
to 6q7nc lower.
Prior to the occurrence OF tho Kansas
report sentiment In the wheat pit Was
bearish, there being considerable realiz-
ing by local longs because OF improved
weather conditions. Not only did the
weather map show ideal conditions for
harvesting In the Southwest, but u cessa-
tlon Of rain was reported from the North
west. During the first half of the see-
sion trading was dull, but 1t became ac-
tive after the publication OF the Kansas
report The demand was general and tho
only offerings came from longs who had
profits In sight This caused an advance
Of almost conts from the low point Of
the day, Much of tho gain was lost on
proht-taking during the last few minutes
of trading. The market closed steady
July opened 1ic to 1sc lower at S9Ssc to
$3.50, sold off TO S3Mc and then advanced
to Sc. The close was at S47sc.
