During the last few months guesses and

the meaning OF money" is entirely diff

fully one-fifth OF the loans in the coun-
try, the prices for money that this mar

money the astute ones can usually make
money. Business men, cities aud corpora

improvements. and thus a demand for the
golden commodity is created. The greater

The price Is interest When money Is

is the explanation OF the "ughtness' OF
the money market just now.
period OF great prosperity has pro-
duced a great deal OF money, and this
money has been promptly absorbed In new
enterprises and business improvements.
This confidence In our prosperity has caused
much of the ready money To be Invested
