The Money Market.

The only quarter in which sign OF
caution is needed Is in the money
market. Our banks are II sourd condi.

there are indications Of lirmer rates
in the not very distant future. Loars
have now risen TO the highest point
on record, and reserves have steadily
declined, though still ample for all
needed safety Nevertheless our
banking resources are being steadily
weakened by the prolc-ge outflow OF
gold and prospects Of its co2tinuancs

Unclaimed Bank Deposits.

Massachusetts treasury is likely tC
come IN for tidy sum Of money under
a recent decision Of the supreme cour
of that state which holds that dcpos
its in savings banks unclaimed for -
years 90 10 the commonwealth. TIL,
decision was rendered I'm a cas-,
brought 20 test the title of 100000 oI
deposits I'm the Provident institution
for Savings left there for moro than
thirty years. The court says that m,
length OF time that these deposits
have been in the bank without any ac
tion by the depositors in regard t
them furnishes a strong presumption
that willingly or unwillingly or iguor
antly the depositors have permanently
abandoned them.

AGE NO MARK OF DISCRETION
New York Police Statistics Prove a
Most Lamentable Fact.

A woman shoplifter who had passed
the Psamist's allotted period and
who had long record of offenses he
hind her. was sent TO prison again the
other day, and In the printed accounts
much was made of her years, as If age
and misdemeanor We're strangers. Az
a matter Of fact, among women. youth
and disdemeanor are strangers IT, Wa
make the test of the matter the fact
of falling into the laws clutches
More than half the women offenders
OF New York are classified in the re-
port OF the state prison commission
as "middle-aged or elderly women"
or the 6,Gl4 women sentenced to the
Blackwell's Island workhouse during
the last year 34G3 were more than
30 years old About one in Is Of the
number were legal minors. Disorder
ly conduct and public intoXicatlon ac-
counted for all but few hundreds of
the entire number.
There is really no surprise in these
figures, for the spectacle OF gray hairs
without honor is not unfamiliar in any
of our small parks. 1t would be SUI
perfuous TO point the moral--and

Confidence and activity have con
sidcrably improved of late in business
circles, and in spite of high values in
Wall street there is little or no eX-
pectation of any immediate serious re-
action. Many shares are now selling
at exceedingly high figures, and the
returns upon them as investments at
present figures appear SO small as TO
impose a decided check upon new
buying. Yet sellers appear TO be few
and far between since igyestors find
it impossible to place Their money
elsewhere at more profitable rates,
and they are naturally indisposed to
lessen their holdings upon so strong a
market,

Crop Prospects Good.

II the general market does not soon
adv@@ce to a still higher level it will
have 10 rccede TO one which will adj
nit of a new buying element. Much
will depend upon our new harvest It
is yet too early to form any reliable
expectations. The outlook as to
wheat, although not entirely satisfac-
tory, is better than month ago, and
there is hope of fair yield, at IN
usually profitable prices The acreage
of corn should be considerably ahead
of last year. and as this crop is also
bringing very profitable figures, the
outlook in this respect is also salts
factory. Reports from the cotton bell
are generally encouraging. and the
strength Of that staple naturally makes
producers more optimists, All things
cdcsidered, the agricultural outlook is
fairly good, but not extrayagantly so.
The promise thus far is not for large
crops, much as they are to be desir-
cd but owing to high prices the yield
will certainly be profitable, and our
farmers as class are as certain as
can be at this stage of the season Of
another prosperous year.
Industry Improving.
Our industrial situation shows
steady improvement. Nearly all lines
of industry are beginning to feel the
stimulus Of renewed confidence. Rail
roads. the largest buyers of materials,
are making heavy purchases of iron
steel cars, locomotives, and other
products, partly TO carry out deferred
improvements and renewals and part
ly for new extensions, as we'll as to
meet now growing increase of traf.
tic. Gross and net returns plainly
show that our railroads are once more
enjoying normal conditions. Building
AID real estate circles are expert
encing a pronounced recovery. In mer-
cantle circles there is also more ac-
tivity. Reports from interior mcr
chants are generally of a favorable
character; cOnsumptive demands are
