Handling Public Money

Secretary Cortelyou Is trying to revise
the entire method Of handling deposits of
public moneys. This is the object Of his
appointment recently of a commission OF
five leading officials of the treasury.
headed by Treasurer Treat, which 1t was
at first announced was to consider de-
posits of customs receipts. 1t is now
Intended to devise system for the better
management of the deposits of public
funds from whatever source, whether
from customs or otherwise. A supple
mental report on customs receipts Will be
made by the commission, but its chief
problem is deposits of the public funds:
This problem is constantly getting to be
more difficult. Secretary Cortelyou Is
overwhelmed with applications for public
national banks, in round numbers, and
only about 1900 of them depositaries, it Is
clear many of them cannot get public
deposits Frequently nowadays a bank
that is anxious for deposit of govern
ment money resorts to political pressure.
Cortelyou wants the new commission to
arrange plan that will bring about dis
tribution of the public moneys without
incurring. charges of politics or favorit;-
deposits only to banks in reserve cities,
or distributed to limited number of
| ing to capital. Other questions involved
banks In each state or territory accord
are the amount of the public funds to be
| kept on deposit with the banks, whether
| checks shall be drawn on national bank
depositaries to pay government accounts
and the like. Treasury officials recognize
the problem confronting the commission
| as of great Importance. 1t VIII take
weeks, perhaps months, to perfect re-
| port.

WHEAT'S ACTIVITY
AFFECTS STOCKS
UPWARD TENDENCY QUICKLY
CHECKED
Money Market Becomes Stronger
Owing to Announcement of Union
Pscific's official Plan Of
Financing
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock
market today showed the effect OF the
mixed influences at work and also re-
fiected the diversion of speculative
activity to the grain and cotton mar
kets in the scantiness of the dealings.
The soaring of the market price of
wheat was depressing factor in stocks
ana checked for time the upward
tendency which had developed in sym
pathy with the strength of Union Pa
cific. Opifiions on the wheat crop are
Influenced not only by the damage
shown in the governments report OF
May 1 conditions published yesterday,
but by the fears Of further damage
since that time, in view of the unfavor-
able weather conditions which pre-
vailed.
The continued delay from the same
cause in the seeding of the spring
wheat crop adds to the anxiety caused
by the condition Of the winter wheat
crop. The bank statement showed a
greater loss of cash than indicated by
the preliminary estimates, but the con-
siderable loan reduction was well re-
ceived, in view Of the known demand
for speculative requirements during the
week.
1t is inferred that the higher IN
terest rates have attracted renewed
offerings of funds in this market by in
terror banks, with the result that de-
mands on local banking resources are
relieved. The money market has been
stronger since Thursday owing to the
announcement Of the Union Pacific
official plan Of financing and the sup
position that other offerings by rail-
road companies are imminent.
Rumors persisted Of an intended bond
issue by the Reading and the pressure
on that stock depressed the market.
American Smelling was under some
pressure. The strength of Union Pa
ciflc was attributed to a more favor
able view of the financial plan than the
standpoint of advantage to the COM
pany as distinguished from the i'm
mediate value Of subscription rights to
stockholders. The net changes In prices
are small but gains predominant and
the closing was strong.
