responded today as they inevitably
must have done within reasonable
length OF time to the extremely fav-
orable substantial conditions affecting
the security market that yesterday un-
folded. The money situation which
yesterday developed such remarkable
ease, was today of even more pleas
ant aspect. Up to the end of busi-
ness the local banks had gained from
the sub-trcasury $10,300,O00 for the
week thus far and this gain was aug
mented today by a further credit bal
ance at the sub-treasury OF S2,000,O0O.
All this is due. of course. to the
policy adopted by the secretary of
the treasury under the permission ac-
corded to him by the AldriCh bill Of
depositing customs receipts at this
center. with the National banks and
to the redemption by the government
that is now rapidly proceeding Of $685.,
100000 of the four per cent bonds
maturing on July /.
As the secretary OF the treasury has
deposited S15,00O000 in, a lump sum
with the clearing house institutions,
this representing the proceeds OF Gus
toms collections during a previous
portion Of the year. Il is altogether
probable that the entire amount re-
ceived by the local banks from these
different sources will shortly reach an
aggregate I'm the neighborhood Of $685.
100000 while the deposits of customs
receipts will II is promised. be con-
tinucd from now on. Realization Of
this fact appeared to dawn clearly
for the first time upon the Wall street
mind today, and there was in conse-
quence a speedy relegation to proper
obscurity from a market point OF view
controversy which yesterday occupied
the attention of speculative traders.
IL may be said fairly in this relation
that the last outgiying on the subject
emanating from the wite house late
this afternoon was commonly regard
ed In Wall street as being the pro-
duet OF a disordered mind. At any
rate people In the financial district
today were disposed TO treat the af-
fair with proper contempt and TO give
due force TO the real factors in the
general situation. The favorable in
auences OF specifically monetary ma
ture resulted during the day in a re-
duction OF the quoted rate for money
for long periods TO Ia per cent
while no more than 1-2 per cent was
bid for time funds for the nearby ma
turtles. and in banking circles very
little doubt was expressed that be-
fore long 5 per cent would be as
much as be obtained by any lending
institution for time money secured by
good collateral. There was today a
further and brisk advance In the price
OF all the different railway short
term notes. and what Is of more sig
niicance still abroad and general
movement In the bond market. Deal
ings In bonds were larger than they
have been at any time for months
past and were almost uniformly char
acterized by advancing prices. The
gain in such Issues as the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy As, Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific As. Pennsyl-
yania l-2 and Colorado and South
ern As. were especially notable.

FINE HOSPITAL
IN CECIL COUNTY

ELKTON. Nd. Aug. 22-Before the
close of the present year Cecil coun-
tians will have a hospital, modernly
equipped and up-to-date in every par
ticular. The handsome three-story
residence of the late William NJ. Sing
erly, of Philadelphia, at the corner Of
Singerly avenue and Cathedral street.
in this town. was recently purchased
for S6.500. and an architect has pro-
pared plans to convert the building
into a hospital. to be known as tho
Union Hospital Of Cecil county.
The movement to have a hospital in
this county was started several years
ago by DR. Howard Bratton, of Elk
ton. and by his persistent efforts more
than enough money has been raised
by contribution and otherwise to pur-
cahse the building and make the
necessary improvements ana altera-
tions.
An auxiliary board, composed of a
number of prominent ladies in the
county. helped in raising a large por-
tion of the money. This board will
also furnish the institution. and it will
also assist. after the hospital is open.
in raising funds to pay the running
