was that the receipts at primary points

Inc F1nancter Will say:
A decrease Of $1S299. 664 in cash was
the leading feature of the associated bank
statement Of October 1. This contraction
was much greater than had been 'antici-
pated and reflected operations with the
subtreasury on interior accounts and
probably also in a smaller way the Oc-
tober 1 dividend requirement. At any
rate the result was, even though deposits
were reduced so. 91S. 800. a contraction of
2.o94S15 in reserve. bringing the pres
ent surplus down to 81, 9S1 $50. This, while
minimum. Is still larger than at the
same period last year. 1t was noticeable
that decrease OF $7.3S2. 600 in loans re-
ported by the Associated Banks came
coincidentally with an increase Of almost
the same amount.
Obviously. statement such as that is
sued Saturday forecasts firmer money
although no fear is felt that the banks
will find it difficult to take care of re-
quirements for crop purposes. The fig
ures given above are based on the actual
condition of the banks, but the statement
OF daily averages shows a surplus re-

posits. showing that the limit of commit

Short Campaign, Thanks.

Fortunately the campaign this fall is
going to be a short one, and If it should
result in anything like the democratic or
Opposition landslide that SO many look
for there will be reasonable certainty Of
lively times in the National Capital and
in majority of the state capitals for at
least two years to come. The feeling
grows also that several important rail-
road systems will be obliged to scale down
present quotations seem to have discount
ed this development and people are taking
1t for granted that the reduction will come
no matter what else may happen. partic-
ularIy on the Pacific roads. There is
nothing in this outlook to encourage either
investment or speculative purchases in the
stock market.
The fact that on every manipulative at
tempt to boost prices of late the boosters
have been obliged to take on lot Of
outside stocks. is discouragi ng in the
extreme to the pools which have been
feeling out the situation for the banks
and fiscal institutions which have hun
dreds of millions of dollars loaned out

for the banks have been earnestly
spreading the glad tidings that they will
be able to provide the capital necessary
to move the crops and keep the wheels
of trade and industry going without be-
ing obliged to force troublesome iqui-
dalton in any quarter.
Money Is Getting Dearer.
At the same time money is getting
