Our blessings are the real cause of
the actual stringency in money. .ccog-
nized everywhere. An unusually large
crop and unexampled industrial ac-
tivity have created an unprecedented
demand for money. The world is
everywhere prosperous and money is
in great demand throughout Europe as
well as in the United States. We never
had such a volume OF credits and they
are based on an u~nequaled volume of
assets. The manufacturers of cotton
are buying their staple by the trsin
load. The cotton planter, unlike lte
western farmer, demands actual cakh
and he carries it home in his pocket.
The western farmer is paid In checks.
which he deposits in tic nank 20 his
credit, and therefore does not absorb
actual money, as does the cotton plant
er. This money should be returned To-
he banks when the planter setflos

the cotton consuming country, as well
as the cotton-producing country. Is

New England has rent Mullins To
