Harris. Winthrop & Co. of New York say:
I'VE are in for period of very easy money.
The crops being moved with no difficulty
whatever. There is abundance of money at
all distributing centers, and Notwithstanding the
$91 ,00o, 900 loan expansion since July at New
York, the bank surplus there is still at the
highest level for this season since 1894. All
this must be encouraging to those who believe
that the security market will be helped ulti-
mately by the pressure of very cheap money ana
the inability of investors to secure in any other
quarter large investment return that
yielded by fairly high grade bond. We are not
likely to lose much. If any, gold to either Europe
or TO South America this year. Because of the
vast accumulation of cash at the reserve centers.
such drain would not in all probability disturb
the money markets seriously. There is not the
slightest possibility that the banks will ever,
under such conditions prevail today, apply FOR
emergency currency" under the act passed on
May 30 last
While there may be no bumper harvests in
prospect, the crop situa ton whole is fairly
satisfactory and will. contribute enormously TO
the wealth of the nation. The railroads are
still suffering seriously from the tremendous
falling of in business. but it is fair TO assume
that the fall and winter months will show a
betterment. and that present dividends in most
instances can be maintained. The situation a
whole calls however, for the exercise of great
caution, but there is plenty of sunshine for those
who have sense enough to see it,

since last March, but very much above the usual
average for this season of the year. The de-
crease brought about mainly through losses
to subtreasury and the smaller losses to the in
terror and TO Canada account of crop moving
purposes. and whole larger than had
been anticipated. 1t is worth mentioning how
ever, that since August % last, an interval OF

Hay and Eeed.tnH.

The strength in hay continues and there are
S21. For this grade yesterday one lot re-
ceived a bid of S20.50. with $21.50 asked.
Receipts running light, largely owing
to the want Of cars. Feedstuffs are firm. with
prices unchanged.
The circular of Scott & Magner says:
Receipts of hay for the week have been
2,600 tons. In view of the fact that a con-
siderable portion of this amount consisted OF
alfalfa hay, which arrived by water, our mar
ket on horse hay has strengthened up consid-
erably.
The holders Of hay are not inclined TO take
their hay from store unless the markets ad-
vance enough to cover the warehousing ex-
penses. The market has not advanced enough
yet to justify much shipping being done at
this time. The railroad has also been to blame
somewhat during the past week for not fur
nishing cars enough to ship In the hay required
1t has been difficult for the last few days to
fill orders required for hay here in the city,
and also for shipments to the interior. The
demand is brisk and the supply Of available hay
to fill these orders is decidedly moderate. The
feeling all along the line is decidedly strong
and the market has a plainly evident upward
tendency. Fancy wheat hay easily commands
$40 and in several instances has sold this week
at $2l.
government order of 10000 tons Of hay for ship
ment to the Philippine islands. If ALL or a
large part, of this amount is purchased In the
San Francisco markets it is expected that 1t
win help this market to considerable ex-
tent. This matter will be determined little
later.
AlIaiIa nay IrOm tue river ulStrlcIS is arTlV-
ing in quantities and is being taken care of
here in fairly good shape. The market Is a
shade easier but not definitely so. There has
not been much straw shipped into the mar
ket lately and conditions a little better
on this account.
