Shaw to Increase Deposits.

Secretary Shaw has taken steps to I'm
crease the deposits Of public moneys in ma
tional depositaries in various parts Of the
country to $4,000. the amount authorized
by law. It affects about $50 banks. and
will aggregate about 100000 additional
deposits.
Secretary Shaw said today, in explanation
of his action, that he had not designated
any national bank depositaries since i'm
mediately following the Panama bond sale.
There was. however, quite large surplus
in the treasury, and he had decided to in
crease the deposits IN large number of
banks to $4,000 each. Something over a
year, ago the Secretary made calls on all
repositories for percentage of the amount
held by each and this had reduced the hold
ings of many to very small amounts rang
ing from $1,000 to less than $4,000. He said
he had already notified the banks of the
increases which would aggregate something
like 100000.

PIG IRON KEEPS ACTIVE.
Buyers seemsKeen1y Anxious to Place
Orders.


The Iron Trade Review says:
Pig iron still occupies the center OF
the stage. the demand during the past
week being very active. with prices show
ing further advances. In some centers
ing, and both buyers and sellers are show
Ing q disposition to walt. especially before
entering into contracts for next years re-
quirements but for the most part the week
has witnessed keen anxiety in the buyers
to place orders, and their failure in many
cases to get iron for prompt shipment.
I'm the south from SIS to $16 is being OBJ
tained easily for spot shipment, and while
some sales for the first half Of next year
have been made at $14.50. $15 more nearly
represents the market. In the east the
scarcity seems to be confined largely to
steel-making irons. The sales In the New
York district included $4,000 tons Of basic.
5000 tons Of foundry and 1000 to 5000
tons Of gray forge In the central west
sales included 1900 tons Of basic at $1S
valley, and 10000 tons Of Bessemer at
$3.50 valley. both for delivery during the
first half OF next year. Both Bessemer and
basic for the first half are scarce. and one
large buyer has not succeeded In placing an
order for 1900 tons Of Bessemer.
"In both Chicago and Cleveland No. 2
foundry has been sold at SO One large
electric interest is inquiring for 10000 tons
for delivery at Allegheny and Cleveland.
and many other buyers are In the market
The general expectation IL that still higher
prices Will prevail throughout the country.
''The principal contract Of the week in
structural material was for $1,000 tons for
the new Manhattan bridge, taken by the
Jones & Laughlin Steel Company through
It's Cleveland agency. An advance Of 81
per ton on sheet prices seems to be immi-
nent."

NEW YORK, August 23.-The rates for
money on call averaged today around yes
terday's mean figures, but in the market
&or loans on time still harder tendencies
made their appearance. per cent oelng
Freely bid for all terms of accommodation
betyeen sixty days and six months time.
Actual transactions in time loans were Ell
fected at per cent and commissions, max
ing the figures actually exacted from Dor
flowers between 61a and per cent
Money market conditions and prospects
occupied practically the whole Of the days
discussion aside from that accorded to the
technical aspects of the stock market
. Since Friday the banks have lost to the
subtreasury more than A,5OO,OO0 and there
ras continued discussion with regard to
fhe probabilities Of Saturdays bank state

hnd according to London dispatches 1t Is
Expected there that the large arrivals of
gold due next week will be secured for
6hipment to New York
Local bankers were far from being posi-
tive that this would be the case, however.
although 1t was asserted that. should they
be disposed to do SO, the national banks
might arrange such transactions profit
ably.
Money market conditions again caused
discussion as to the chances of intervention
In the situation by the authorities at
Washington. but nothing definite could be
Ascertained relating to their Intentions.
Suggestions were made. however. that the
government might undertake in the near
future the refunding Of the per cent bonds
due next year. and II such action should be
Aaken quickly 1t will undoubtedly go far to-
ward relieving the present and threatened
stringency in the money market. No change
was made In the Bank of England's rate OF
discount. but the weekly statement Of that
institution was another highly satisfactory
showing. Notwithstanding that fact, how
ever. discount rates in the open market
hardened perceptibly. perhaps on the expec-
tations Of an American demand for gold
American stocks showed exceptional
strength in the London stock market. and
very large transactions for foreign account
were conducted in the local dealings, re-
sulting on balance in the purchase of some
% 900 shares.
