A CONFUSING CAMPAIGN

The political campaign is fairly launched, but up to date it has taken no form by which men can begin to estimate the final result There are go many candidates in the field that it is a question of some anxiety to politicians how the vote for the outside-so toI .peak k-candidates will affect the votes of the two leading candidates. Which will lose most of the prohi- rition, the socialistic. and the la bC r votes? We think MT. Taft will lose more labor votes than Bryan, for the reason that laboring men who lost their places last autumn and have not been reinstated will naturally vote for a change. The socialistic vote will be about equal ly divided among men who were formerly republicans or democrats. If this proves to be true, that vote will not materially fleet the main result. The prohibition will be the hardest to determine In the north ern states it will hurt MT. Taft more than it will Mir Bryan, but in the south, who knows? There gre thousands of voters there who have been dissatisfied with the de 'noeracy for twelve years past, but IS between democrats and republi- cans, the previous. question was moved with them two score years igo, and there was no thought save to vote the democratic ticket. But prohibition has swept in great wave over state after state, and then very many of the strongest men in that region do not like MT. ] Bryan, for they see in what he ad vocates. the breaking away seri ously from their rigid states rights beliefs. What if they should de eide to vote the prohibition ticket? | Or what if five or six of the great states, like North Carolina, Geer- .ia, Alaba ma and Tennessee should conclude to give their vote to Ton

 Below all is the unrest that is lpon the people, the feeling tha neither of the platforms seem uI o the unspoken something whicl the people feel should be forthcom- ;ng. That is liable to make voters tpathetie on election day unless something can be done to arouse them and kindle their old party pride. The situation has not cleared It all for a month past, and but two months are left in which tC crystalize public sentiment. We can recall no other such campaign in the history of the republic. Oi ;ourse, we expect underlying forces ire at work on both sides, and that

 ties have plans of campaign which nave not yet materialized, but il they have, can they count on the voters?

Associated Banks statement

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE Financier will
say: The associated banks of the city issue
each week two statements, one based average
conditions covering the previous week and the
other showing the actual conditions of business
at the close of the current week. These two
statements vary widely at times but gen
eral rule the statement of actual conditions is to
be relied upon showing the real standing of
the banks, aud therefore in this analysis the
figures representing actual conditions are always
used The exhibit OF the banks for the week
ending November IA showed, had been anticl-
pated, very large expansion In loans. The
Sfncrease. amounting TO S11. .92J, 600, was due Of
course, TO the revival of activity on the stock
exchange and also in general business circles.
The banks gained s., $50, 900 in cash. which rep
resented receipts Of new gold and a slight gain
from the interior, operations with the sub
treasury and export of $500, 900 of gold to
Canada not being sufficient to cut down the
net gain for the week. Deposits rose $k6, &c.,
500 and this increased the reserve requirements
by over $4,000. 900. The gain in cash, there
fore, did not prove sufficient TO Offset the re-
qured larger legal reserve and the reserve on
all deposits fell 81 636 025 standing at the close
of the week at $29, ,S3s.725 There was re-
markably heavy reduction of S2,270. 500 in cir
culation, traeeable to the fact that banknotes
taken out against temporary treasury certih-
Gates issued year ago now being re-
tired. The summary of state banks and trust
companies in Greater New York not reporting
70 the New York clearing house showed for the
week a heavy increase of 81, ,4S2, 800 in loans
and an increase of 50 526, 900 in net sdeposits,
although the increase In cash was less than
$500. 600.

Hay md Feedstufr.


The arrivals of hay yesterday were $50 tons.
including 42 cars. The market ruled firm and
unchanged The only change in feedstufs was
an advance in meafalfa.
The hay circular of Scott & Magner says:
Receipts of hay for the last six days have
been 1888 tons. The railroad company has been
little better in the matter of cars, and the
market has felt somewhat easier.
"Advices from the country appear to confirm
the prevailing impression of the shortage In the
supply of hay on hand available for San Fran
cisco. Many figures and statistics are being
complied to cover the stua tiOn. Looking at the
matter, however, in view of all statistics which
we have on hand. the situation appears extreme
ly serious. In round figures, during the six
months from November of last year until Nav
l OF this year the San Francisco market alone.
by actual figures computed each day. consumed
very nearly 100000 tons. The interior and sur
rounding cities consumed about 10000. and we
had left on hand May 1. 1908. &C, 900 tons.
Conditions in the interior appear to be iden-
tical this winter with those of last winter, and
we have every reason to believe that the inte-
ror demand will be as great If not greater, than
last year San Francisco consumption this year
has dropped of about 10 per cent from the re-
ceipts of the first six months of last season. As
sumtng that we will drop OF one-quarter in our
San Francisco demand. and have the inte-
demand for almost 10000 tons to carry this
portion of the state from now until the 1st day
of May. Against this we have on hand a visible
supply of 10000 tons.
Reports from the interior are discouraging.
Los Angeles hay dealers are in the market and
have purchased large amounts while reports
and Stockton. to the effect that there is an
increased demand for the interior cities and in
the absence Of pasture the farmers beginning
TO consume the hay in the warehouses.
In view Of these conditions the market has
advanced. and the increase In prices is more
marked in the country than In this city. Farm
ers are holding fast TO their stocks, calculating
extreme prices in the early spring the only
trading of any Importance being purchases by
Los Angeles dealers, who have been paying ex-
treme prices to cover their shortage. The
dry weather Is already causing much apprehen-
sion, and should it continue may become Sc
rious factor in the situation.
