ponds is sound. 1t appears that there
is a tendency in many lines to take
a slower pace than we have peen ae-
customed to see.
Business is generally reported '"
be good in volume making an exception
for the great hesitancy in the meta
markets, especially in copper ana the
ALLOW metals. Voluntary concessions
in the prices of these materials nave
made buyers wary and they are gem
orally waiting in the hope of further
forced declines.
"The iron and steel industry Is going
ahead under the pressure or orders
previously booked for fall delivery, but
it is conceded that the current inquiry
is lighter leading to shading of prices
In mig and billetS-the basis articles
of the industry. The demand for con-
sumption has been steadily in advance
of production for many months, hence
a slight relaxation in the demand is
expressed lest the prevalent scarcity
of money and the high returns de-
manded by capital restrict new ven
lures which otherwise would require
large tonnage of steel. Already 1t
is noted that the specifications OF
structural materials are falling off and
the railways are buying guardedly be-
cause of the difficulties in the way OF
floating new capital issues.
The feeling prevails. however, that
with continuance of activity, even on
"a somewhat lower scale. the railways
will be compelled to buy steadily. In
fact, the strength Of the market for
plates indicates confidence in the trait
fic situation and steady increase in
freight equipment.
The unmistakable conclusion to be
gathered from our replies on schedules
touching the crop financing operations
of the banks is that tho yields may be
deficient in quantity and quality. these
defects. in conjunction with an unabat-
ing consumption. will require practi-
cally as large a volume of funds as
last year.
1t is within the purview of this sum-
mary to remark that tho bankers of
the country have been making fruitful
use of the opportunity to instruct their
customers In the proper employment
of credit. Our correspondence clearly
indicates that the temptation to tres
pass beyond the safe limits trading
hazards has been well nigh irresist-
ible. Land, commodities. and all lines
of Industrial enterprise have held out
alluring promise of large speculative
gains. The banks have been appealed
to for aid in these ventures: and 1t
has been the duty of the banker TO adj
his customers, to audit their
ventures, and to restrict their credits
whenever impartial Judgment has re-
quired it."
