MONEY TO Be TIGHT next MONTH

NEW YORK, Dec. lowing to
Thanksgiving holidays and the opening
of congress-, the stock market has been
more or less inactive.
Money market conditions improved
somewhat. Funds have been return
ing more freely from the interior and
bank officials continue to follow a con-
sentative policy in the making of loans.
A distinct improvement has also taken
place in the foreign money markets,
both the Bank of England and the
Bank of Germany have been able to
strengthen their position, and the stu
alton mas been further relieved by the
Willingness of the Bank of France to
release a portion of it's gold. Deem
Der dividend disbursements were large,
amounting to over SIS, 600, 900, and
caused slightly increased tension; but
until preparations for January dis
bursements are in order, the local mon
ey market ought to be free from any
serious stringency, although firm rates
are to be anticipated during the inter-
val.

%Strinaency Begins.

Around the first of January consid-
cradle stringency may be anticipated.
In the middle Of that month, however,
funds withdrawn for dividend and in
terest purposes will nave returned to
the banks and the influx of crop money
from the interior should also serve
to improve the local monetary situa-
ton. Unless, however, we are much
mistaken, there will be a very active
demand for money during the winter
and spring months. Business contin-
ues to be very active and owing to
high prices much larger amounts Of
currency are needed to perform a given
service than in times of lower prices.
The spirit of extravaganza is abroad,
and the masses are saving less and
spending more than in ordinary times.
In consequence of our prosperity most
people are carrying larger quantities
of cash on their persons than usual,

the monetary scarcity. Concerning
the future Of the money market, i'm
portant demands are sure to be made
during the early part of 1907. A num-
Der of our large corporations have
months to little purpose. In some
cases they have secured temporary
provements and extensions on both
railroads and industrial plants are ur-
gent, and during the mex few months
there will be new security issues cas-
lily amounting to several hundred mil
lions. This amount added to the enor-
nous new creations of the past two
years is anything but a bull argument,
although the interests committed to
such operations will be undoubtedly
obliged to give the market all the sup
port that they may be able. When the
April settlements come in 1907 strin-
gent money rates will be more in evil
dence than usual.
Confidence Strong.
General outside conditions continue
satisfactory, and no reactionary signs
of importance are yet visible. Conf
dence is generally strong, although in
many respects conditions are SO alb
normal as to induce a decided spirit of
caution. Advances in wages granted
by railroads and a number of large in
dustrial concerns are exceedingly
gratifying to employees, and perfectly
satisfactory to employers as long as
present conditions last: but the high
cost of labor and material of all kinds
is exercising a growing restraint upon
new enterprise and more or less uneas-
mess regarding the future. The imme-

LAST APPEAL TO PEOPLE
Po|Icyho|dePs Committee Making
Hard Fight.
EVERYONE SHOULD CAST VOTE
BIG COMPANIES ARE PUTTING
FORTH ALL ENERGIES TO
KEEP IN POWER.
EVERYONE SHOULD CAST VOTE

~ lSlttI lIOll TIE lud1-
ager of the American policyhoIders'
committee is self explanatory:
Managing Editor Statesman:-
Dear Sir:
I am requested by the International
Policynolders committee to make a
personal appeal to you that will aid in
bringing out the policyholders' votes
for directors in the New York Life
and Mutual Life insurance companies
in the election now in progress. Up
to this time about 40 per cent Of the
po%licyholders in these companies have
voted, although every reasonable eff
fort has been made to interest them so
far as the means at the disposal of the
committee permitted it to make this
effort.
You understand, of course, that the
committee has relied upon voluntary
contributions for it's work, and has
been hampered in every direction by
the companies. The committee has
had no funds to make a personal AN
vass of the pOlicyholders, whereas, on
the other hand, the insurance compan-
les have converted their organization
of over 10000 agents and other en-
ployes into a vast campaign machine,
spreading false and misleading state
ments in every direction. The last
day for depositing the votes in the
office of the company in New York
is December IS. No vote that arrives
after that date can be counted.
The result of the election depends on
the uncaSt vote.
Almost every vote procurable by the
the companies has been secured. The
votes not yet cast belongs mainly to
the policyhOlders' tickets, and we want
to enlist your assistance in this pub
lie movement to bring Out that vote.
Misrepresentation.
We are particularly anxious through
the press to correct the misrepresenta-
tons that are being spread broadcast
by agents and c%anvassers paid with
policyholders' money. such as that Tom
Lawson or Tom Ryan, or any other
Tom, Dick or Harry is behind this
movement. 1t seems almost incredible
that any one should for a moment
believe that such men as Richard Oh
ney, Judge George Gray, DR.. COnwell,
Judge Parkf1er, Charles Emery Smith,
General Benjamin F. Tracy, Edgar E.
Clark, governors Of six states, con-
gressmen. members of the house OF
lords and parliament, and many other
men Of large business affairs that con-
stitute this committee, should be ami
mated by a single selfish or Interior
motive.
The success of this movement is a
%vindication that the people of this
country are at all times able n will
ing to take care of their own affalrs.
This is the last appeal the committee
will be able to make to you. The
press has supported this movement
with almost one voice. But for its
magnificent work, nothing whatever
could have been accomplished. We
have not had a dollar to spend in ad-
vertising.
We ask you to give such prominence
as you feel possible to the fact that
the policyholders are now being given
the last opportunity to vote, and 10
urge them to 10 so.
Yours very truly,
International Policyholders Committee.
G.. r. SCRUGHAM,
Manager.
