Sentiment In the wheat pit was almost ex-
ciusiveiy dominated by the weather map OF
the northwest, which Is still favorable for
the harvesting and threshing OF the new
crop OF winter wheat. Cash houses and pit
traders here were offered wheat literally,
but the demand was not equal to the sup
ply, and consequently the price Of all de-
dveries made further declines. The prtnci-
pal buying was by shorts. Liberal receipts
OF new wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth
were. to many traders. a forerunner OF still
greater receipts during the next week, and
augmented the bearish sentiment on the
local exchange. The market was heavy all

HEARD ON CHANGE

It Is a question whether the circular an
nouncement sent out to the depository
banks by the Secretary Of the Treasury
during the past week expressing his dis
approval OF the practice Of banks loantng
their money in New York in order to get
high rates Of interest has any local appli-
cation or not. It is quite common to hear
brokers and others who have business with
the banks here proclaim against this prac-
tice, as they assert that the desire to make
money in this way results In depicting the
supply for local purposes.
On the other hand. 1t is generally denied
by bankers that they do any thing of the
sort There are some, however, who ad-
NIT that while they may keep larger de-
posts in New York than the requirements
call for. still they only do 1t to the extent
that the money Is not needed by local Dor.
rowers. In other words. the position OF
such bankers Is that there Is not at such
times demand enough here to, keep en-
ployed all the funds they have available
for use.
1t is, of course, recognized that when
money rates in New York go bounding up
and range all the way from 10 to 30
per cent. and at times even to higher
notch, the opportunity to make money Is
tempting one to bankers who have sur
plus on hand and who have pride not
only in maintaining the usual rate OF earn

sible.
There is no issue raised as to any unusual
risk in business Of this sort. for the money
Is put out on call loans with good collater-
al. That Is not the point either with the
local DIRECTORS to this practice or with
Secretary Shaw. But there is a strong OPP
position to any practice which would de-
nude local resources and cripple local In
terests by making money scarce and MAX
ing 1t difficult for men to get the accom-
mediation from the banks which they need
in their business. AS stated. it Is not adj
mitted that local needs are ever neglected
in this respect and while the charge is
made that such is the practice, 1t Is. of
course, improved.
There has been a good deal of criticism
Of the system under which was possible
the dishonesty which has come to light in
the investigation of the Real Estate Trust
Company of Philadelphia. Remedies have
been suggested to prevent such occurrences
In the future and among these may be
noted these which come from the Wall

directors; second, increase their RESPONSE

increased responsibility and remove temp

upon by every director; fifth, make direc-
tors criminally as well as financially liable
for every form of wrongful use Of other
peoples money; sixth prohibit directors
from acting in dual capacities from selling
to the companies they serve and from
serving In competing corporations.

Manchester Cloth.

MANCHESTER, September S.-A better
inquiry was experienced in the cloth mar
ket during the week, especially from India,
which leads to the opinion that business
in the near future will be brisker. particu-
larry when manufacturers are satisfied az

over, both In light bleaching cloths and
shirtings, was rather larger. China took
fair quantities of specials as well as. OF
staple cloths while the Mediterranean
markets purchased satisfactorily. In the
yarn market American crops were difficult
to obtain for quick delivery, and eonse-
quently full prices obtained. Other quail
ties were quiet and steady.

He had opened an outer basket, and

resents Great Britain's greatest ad-
miral in his last battle at Trafalgar

annihilated the French navy but de-
feated their plan of invading England.
