Some Of the brokers are Of the opinion
that the advice recently given to banks
by the Secretary OF the Treasury In re-
gard to keeping their deposits at home in
stead of lending them In New York Is not
being followed in this city. Otherwise they
think II there was not so much money
taken up in that way. the requests for
loans would not require lengthy considera-
ton on the part of bank officials and finance
committees as seems to be the case at
present.
On the other hand men who control
money express surprise when their atten-
tion is called to such comments. They as

NEW YORK, September 10.-Some brokers
stated after the close OF the market yes
terday that they had experienced no little
dimculty In negotiating loans on the door
OF the stock exchange during the day. par
ticularly In the afternoon. It was main
tained In banking circles today that the
rates for call money should not rule below
the average rate Of yesterday for some
weeks In view Of the foregoing and the
fact that the market had been advancing
with only moderate Interruptions. some
observers this morning believed that the
top, except in specialties. had been reached
and that during the next few days the ten
dency would be downward. Other OBJ
servers believed that the character of the
market would be much the same as 1t has
been for q week or ten days. Those who
held to this idea said that the copper
issues would probably be the features Of
the market for some days to come.
-..
The general belief that the Pennsyl-
vania holdings of Baltimore and Ohio sold
to Kuhn. Loeb & Co. have been acquired
In the interest Of the Union Pacific system
is a subject Of no little discussion by prac-
tical railroad men as well as banking In
terests. Railroad men do not favor the re-
ported transaction and believe that 1t Will,
for time at least, materially disturb
the general railroad situation in the United
States, which, was established on such a
satisfactory basis eight or ten years ago by
J. P. Morgan, to whom they give the credit
for bringing about the community OF in
terests idea.
One prominent western railroad official,
who is a close student of railroad matters
in q broad way. in discussing the reported
purchase of Baltimore and Ohio by the
Union Pacific. expressed the opinion that IL
this transaction Is actually carried through
large railroad systems being to a great ex-
tent independent as to their operations. 1t
seems to be taken for granted by many
railroad men that II the Union Pacific gets
the Baltimore and Ohio roads east Of Chi
cago 1t will establish through lines to the
Pacific coast through the acquisition of ex-
listing lines or by the building Of new lines
or extension of present roads.
In railroad circles it Is still believed that
the Pennsylvania railroad will sell a large
proportion of its Chesapeake and Ohio
stock. Well informed railroad officials so
far assert that they have no definite infor-
nation as to who the purchaser Is to be in
the event of such a sale. It has been gen.
orally assumed and definitely rumored that
the stock might be taken by Vanderbilt in
terests and turned over to the big Four"
1t Is understood that a meeting of the d.
rectors of that company will be held today.
but 1t Is definitely stated that the meeting
is not called for the purpose of passing
upon purchase Of any part Of the Pennsyl-
vania holdings in Chesapeake and Ohio A
well informed interest expresses the opinion
that nothing of this kind would be done in
any event until the return Of w. K. Wander
bilt from Europe.

Good CoIors for Houses.

1t is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints and
colors wear much better than others on
houses, and the knowledge of just what
tints are best to use is, therefore, rather
hay.
One writer on paints, in a recent book,
says that experiments seem to show that
those colors which resist or turn back
the heat rays of the sun, will protect a
house better than those which allow these
rays to pass through the film.
Thus red is a good color because it
turns back, or reflects the red rays, and
the red rays are the hot rays.
In general. therefore, the warm tones
are good and the cold tones are poor, so
far as wear is concerned. In choosing
the color of paint for your house. select
reds, browns, grays and olives, which,
considering the various tones these tints
will produce, will give a wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh tints; such as cold
yellows (like lemon, cold green's (like
grass green, etc.. and the blues.
1t must be understood that no virtue
is claimed for tints in themselves, ire
spectiye of the materials used in the
paint Any color will fade, and the paint
will scale off. if adulterated white lead
or canned paint is used, but if one is
careful to use the best white lead-some
well-known brand of reliable manufac-
turer-and genuine linseed oil, the warm
tints mentioned above will outwear the
same material tinted with the cold colors.

Chinese INGENUITY.

Many attempts have been made to

Chinese, it is said, have solved in
their own way the problem of how to

six small beads, made of mother-of-
pearl and strung together by thread,
are dropped at the proper season into
the open mouth of the shell. Two
years later the mussel, when recov-
credit is made to disgorge the beads,
now covered with a pearly crust, in

made pearl.

Washington, d. c., August 20th.-A
next session of congress to prevent
another appropriation for the free dis
tribution of common garden seeds
Congress now eXpends $4,000 year
in giving away the commonest varie-
ties of peas, beans, turnip, squash and
pumpkin seeds. They are divided into
100000 900 packets so that the packets
cost about half a cent each But as
large part of the appropriation is
expended in clerk hire, packeting the
seed, etc, the actual value of the
seed in a packet is much less than
half a cent. These packets are put
up in packages of five packets, the
total cost of the packages being, about
two cents each, and they are purchas-
able anywhere at five cents Each
member Of congress gets 10000 such
packages, which he distributes to the
voters of his district
The farmers say that these pack
ages contain so little seed as to be of
no value to them, while the total ap-
preparation, if expended in sending
out really rare and valuable seed, or
in maintaining a national agricultural
college, or divided among the state
agricultural colleges, would be of i'm
mense value to the farming interests.
They therefore protest against the
waste of public money. The seeds
men claim that as congress has al
ready expended $5,000000 in giving
away turnip and watermelon seed, it
is time it should give away saws, axes
or hoes and give the seed trade a rest
Those who believe that congress
should cut off this perquisite of it's
members now used for political pur-
poses, are writing their senators and
representatives, urging them to abol-
ish the free seed distribution, and the
National Grange, many state and local
oranges, horticultural, agricultural
and other societies are adopting reso-
buttons condemning it. Mr.. William
Wolff Smith, of Washington, D. c., has
been selected to represent the oppo-
sition to the congressional free seed
distribution, and is personally answer
ing all inquiries concerning the same
