Chief Don Johnson whispered to alder
man W G. Jolly that mad they knocked
out Bill Steger. the fireman pitcher
in the first instead Of the sixth inning
the police would have won the game.
Steger was just in the act Of making
a home run when Dick Evans chucked
him on the forehead with the ball
Another casualty was that Of captain
J. J. Sullivan Of the central fire station,
who said he turned his ankle. A rumOr
was circulated that while he was slid

leg
Still another fireman TO meet with
disaster was J. c. Rhodes, who got hit
on the end OF his right thumb. The

although some experts were predicting
even lower rates. This amounted to
discount of about per cent for ex-
change on London compared with Il
lper cent on Paris, 10 per cent on Ber-
/ lin and 20 per cent on Rome The
causes of these abnormal rates do not
need explanation. That even greater
luneas;ness does not exist, is due to the
fact taat a number of eminent British
bankers are on the way here for tle
purpose of making an early adjustment
The rush of enormous war contracts
continues, and provision for their fin
ancing is a verJ urgent necessity. The
excess of exports over imports, which
amounted TO $l,000,000,000 for the
year, ending June Both, may run as high
as S2,000O00,000 when the calendar
year ending December 31st is reached.
The only methods of settlement are
either a return Of American securities,
imports of gold, or tle placing of a
regular goTernmcnt loan by the British
government. the best method to adept
is to issue snort term loan, say for
two, five, seven aud tcn-year periods,
which would be the most likely to sue
ceed. The shorter term issues could be,
| think, placed on AZ per cent basis,
while the longer d"tes wUild require a
higher rate, say per cent; all re-
deemable in gold and to be free from
taxation. How the average American
investor would take such security
is somewhat problemGtical, but many
of our financial institutions and our
big capitalists would undoubtedly sub
scribe freely now that the danger OF
war with Germany is passed. British
credit has not yet been seriously
strained, and seems abundantly able to
finance the war through to the end. Yet
the danger of oyercrCwdng this market
with excessive foreign obligations is not
to be overlooked.
The coming Of contingent of Lon

New York, Sept. A decided sense
Of relief developed IN financial circles
when it became known that Germany
was ready TO conduct its submarine
warfare upon the lines requested by the
United States government. TINS Wef
come concession on the part OF ter
many was naturally gratifying to Amer
lean sentiment; and has, 1t is hoped per
maently removed all serious friction De-
tween the twa countries. Details may
require time for adjustment, but II the
present spirit of cancellation IS pre-
served on both sides, all fear OF a
serious rupture, or becoming involved
in the war, will disappear. As a danger
point, therefore, the Lusitania and
the Arabic" incidents may be CON
I sidered as safely passed.
Confidence in home business affairs
is everywhere gaining, and in the best
banking circles there is UNIVERSAL eXpec-
tation of good fall trade Things IN
general appear to be on the mend.
Trade and traffic are still below norm
AL but the tide is rising. The banking
situation in the United States was prob
ably never sOunder OF more satisfactory
than at the present moment The
new banking system is working smooth
ly; and the danger IN this part Of our
economic machinery is more II the di-
rection of over-expansiOn than in CON
traction. According to q recent state
mont by Che Comptroller Of the Cur
rency, the banks Of the United States
have it in their power to expand loans
fully $3,000,0 100000. The present har-
vest equals and is even exceeding all
expectations as to quantity. Wheat,
corn and oats promise to surpass the
earlier Government estimates and the
only drawback in the grain outlook is
tne reported injury to wheat from ex
cossiye moisture, also the certainty Of
rush Of wheat into European markets
when the Dardanelles are opened.
Wheat and oats will be record crops,
and corn nearly 50. The cotton out
look is, of course, unsatisfactory. While
the situation has been changed by the
placing of cotton on the cOntraband
list, it will not materially affect ex
ports since shipments TO Germany had
previously been almost suspended. The
yield this year will undoubtedly fall
considerably below last years crop
which will offset the loss of exports of
about 100000 bales to Germany and
Austria. Fortunately, there will be no
difficulty in financing the crop. Our

are unusual, and the offer of the sec,
