Fact That Fall blowing Can Be Don: Makes Valley Farmers
More Optimistic.

Farming conditions in the Red
River valley show a considerable i'm
provement over those which existed
at this time last year, and, as q re-
suit. tie agriculturalists Of this vicin-
ity are feeling rather optimistic in
spite Of the fact that they have not
raised any very large crops this year.
Such at least is the idea expressed
by Hon. N. "A. Colby. a prominent
farmer OF Gardner. III. d. 5 X .i4

places along the low lands the yield

throne; though l didn't think any

But it was quite odd about the king.
When he went to Grenada some time
ago and visited the Sacre Marie they
wanted him to kiss a stone in one Of
the underground caves, which is sup.
posed to insure your marriage within
a year. He refused at first, because
he said he wouldn't be able to choose
wife because of being in love, so he
would prefer not to lose his liberty so
soon. But finally he consented to
please them, and not long afterward
we met. Now he says he is very glad
he kissed the stone"

SHAW ORDER EFFECTIVE.

While IL is true, as a general PROPOSE
ton, that money will seek the market
offering the best inducement, the
persistent and vehement protest in
stock jobbing circles against Sec
rotary Shaw's recent circular to
national bank depositors as an auto
cratic interference does not comport
with the other criticism that it will
prove altogether ineffective. There
would be no cutlery of pain unless
some effect were felt or anticipated.
The Judgment of many solid bankers
is that the secretary's attitude will
have considerable effect Immediately
to discourage the pinching of interior
business men and those who require
money for buying and forwarding
crops, in order that big sums may be
sent to New York to loan at extrava-
CANT call rates of interest, but that its
more important effect will be to stimu-
late the growing sentiment among con-
sentative bankers to favor the interests
of production and exchange, looking
for profit to their steady development
in the long run. rather than to the
spectacular but unstable and often
dangerous chances of the speculative
market.
This sentiment is In harmony with
the common-sense conviction that the
remedy for very many, II not all. of
the recurrent autumnal money market
troubles is really within the reach Of
the bankers themselves without
material changes in the banking and
monetary laws. For the bankers fore
know to absolute certainty that in such
prosperous times not only must they
finance the harvesting and marketing
of the crops and at the same time
the stimulated mechanical and COM
mercial industries, but also they will be
subjected to clamorous speculative de-
mand. 1t is largely the fault of the
banks that preparations are not taken
in time and that they become so in
volved in speculative operations for
weeks and months before September
that they cannot then meet the re-
quirements of legitimate business.
1t is the belief that Secretary Shaw's
official admonition to United States de-
positors will accelerate the tendency
among bankers that causes the stock
jobbers and their confederates to re-
gard 1t as serious. There is. too. the
possibility that 1t may be followed by
other executive acts as we'll as by legis-
lation for the same purpose.
