considerable interest by bankers,

percentage of the loan will be taken
sSccess of he sas June 4 mo-
whatever is expressed, and the bonds
have already been sold on the curb
when issued at 10215. though the gen.
eral belief is that they will net the
ably about 10l1a. OF course as the bonds
are available to secure public deposits
national banks will unquestionably ap-
pear as bidders, and, in consequence,
complete test of the country's credit
That will be better determined when the
whole $29e0O0, 900 are in the hands Of
the public, and find their place in the
market free Of any arrangements with
the repositories; but. nevertheless. the
outcome of the transaction Is awaited
with interest.
Money Market Affairs.
Naturally the marked increase in the
volume of business on the Stock Ex-
change and the prospective improve
ent-which bankers feel is certain to
follow in general business as a result of
the court decisions-found an immediate
reflection in the money market. The
rate on call loans hardened, ruling in
the latter part OF the week at about 2k
to 212 per cent, as against to Pa per
cent as heretofore. Time loans carry
ing for six and seven months and for
over the year" were about 4 per cent
higher, at from to 81 for the shorter
maturity and 324 to per cent for the
longer term. Aside from this there was
little change in the money market.
With the surplus reserve in the clear
ing-house banks standing as II does to-
day at S45,674.575 above the legal re-
quirements, no one apprehends high
rates for money, but the general i'm
preston Is that borrowers are not likely
to have things all their own way in
the money market from now on The
changes in the various items in the
hank statement published today, were
all Of a favorable character; that is,
loans and deposits diminished and cash
holdings and surplus reserve Increased.
but the changes require no special COM
ment, for, with the large reserve, the
statement itself received scarcely any
attention at all in brokerage circles.

II is risky to feed raw milk
and cream to children or inva-
lids unless you are sure that at
the farm which produces the
milk utmost cleanliness is OBJ
observed at all times, particular
ly during milking; that the en-
ployes are thoroughly healthy
and cleanly persons, that the
cows are free from diseases,
that the water used for .rinsing
is of undoubted purity, and that
the milk is quickly cooled and
kept cold and covered until de-
Hvered to you.
Raw milk often produces Tu-
bercuIosis, Scarlet Fever, also
Typhoid and other Intestinal
diseases.
We can guard against infec-
ton by properly pasteurizing
milk or by home pasteuriza-
ton.
Properly pasteurizing milk
(and cream) by keeping it at
40 degrees F. for twenty to thirty
minutes does not affect its nu-
tritive value nor its digestihil-
ity. Quick or commercial pas
teurization, however. is unre-
liable.
You can home pasteurize raw
milk by heating it to near boil
ing, then cool. and keep cold
and covered until used.
Most indigestion in babies is
caused by milk too rich in
cream.
