FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York City. Nov. 1.-THE limi-
tation OF banking supplies held the
speculation in restraint last week. In
its neglected condition the stock mar
ket was somewhat vulnerable to fac
tors of depression and sentiment was
tinged by this. in spite of the sustained
growth of business activity and pros
perity. Plainly this very activity is
having its part in displaying credits
which have been employed in holding
stocks and transferring their use Into
commercial channels. The Beasonable
demand for currency to move the crops
also makes Its customary requirement
on the banks at the reserve centers.
Speculation In stocks, meantime. Is
held in check and the forces employed
for the protection of market prices
seem content to keep operators quiet
and to oppose attacks on the market
until the money situation shall clear
up Only in the less conspicuous menu
bers of the stock list is there room
for wider movements The money po-
sition was regarded as improved last
week, by reason of the substantial re-
cupera ton in the condition of the Bank
of England, which placer Its proper
tion of reserve in the liabilities above
so per cent. The Bank of France and
the Bank of Germany also made a ma
terial recovery from the effects of No
vember / settlement. In London there
was continued anxiety over the money
situation and no disposition to relin-
auish the efforts at control of the
money market by the Bank OF Eng
land.
The exports of gold from New York,
coupled with renewed demand from
points for currency and the
absorption into the treasury en-
croached SO far on the slender surplus
reserve OF the clearing house banks as
to prompt some calling of loans, which

To reiterate that commodity prices.

seems like a work of supererogation.
Indeed, II Is more than probable that
householders. and in fact manufactur-
ers OF various commodities who have
had to purchase raw material on a

now with SUFFICIENT evidence of the

the main thing is that quotations on
a number or articles that largely en-

on advancing to even higher levels
then those now prevailing. In truth.
the strain OF higher prices for raw pro-
ducts Is not only being felt by manu-
facturers. who are in turn forced to
advance prices on finished goods, but II
is also superinducing demands for
higher wages by employees. who are

basis for enhanced remuneration

citation OF the Southwest on the sub
ject, DR.. F. d. Boyd of Fort Worth.
said. that according to the best data
available no less than 100000 people
In this country suffer from the hook
worm disease. DR.. Boyd said although
there were no reliable statistics to
prove this definitely there was little
doubt that the number of persons af-
fiicted with this trouble would reach
that stupendous igure.
Hook worms and pellagra have re-
ceived great deal Of attention at the
sessions OF the convention. A paper
on appendicitis read by DR.. J. N. Jack
son demonstrated that many pass I'M

suffering from this disease at all. DIR.

President Kavanaugh refuses to die-
cuss the question as to whether he
will resign in case Chattanooga avails
itself of its option on the Little Rock
franchise.
There is time enough to consider
that matter after Chattanooga buys
the franchise he says. II refuse to
cross any bridges until get to them"
However. the representatives of the
Little Rock club took the only course
open to them In giving an option on
their franchise to Chattanooga. Had
they not done so. the league would new
er have extended their franchise. Chat
tanooga now has an opportunity to get
into the league at what the other clubs
considered a fair price for Little
Rocks franchise"
President Rather of the Little Rock
club declares that he does not believe
that Chattanooga will purchase the
franchise Of the local club and adds
that Il the Tennessee city does not.
Il will never get another chance. The
present option he says was given only
because Little Rock was practically
forced into II by the hostile attitude
OF a majority OF the other clubs.
