The Money Market.

In Washington there is ample funds
for all borrowers and to spare Appli-
cants for collateral loans are by no
means numerous Commercial houses
are moderate borrowers. but the sur
plus cash is large and bankers are
making every effort to keep funds en-
ployed. Rates here are strongly held
at per cent on collateral to per cent
on other loans.
In New York there was little better
demand for money and some loans in
the stock market have been called. But
the supply is large and many loans are
being made in London on short-term
Investments. for the purpose of getting
the higher rates obtainable there.
American bankers believe that Great
Britain and Russia will be in the mar
ket for further loans in the near
future. and will welcome the applica-
tions. SO large is the accumulation of
funds. through the enormous exports
and the limited imports.

CHICAGO. October 19.-Despite some
uncertainty at the outset, wheat prices
today soon outdid yesterdays top-notch
figures. Lower cable quotations were
responsible for the weak opening, but
bearish sentiment could make no head
way in the face of buying which de-
veleped on a large scale, with some of
the biggest firms taking a conspicuous
part. Argentine and Canadian crop
advices continued to be of a disap-
pointing character. Opening prices,
which ranged with December at7.65 to
1.66a4. and May at 1.67A to 1.67&. from
1 cent decline to Y cent advance, were
followed by small downturns and then
sharp rise all around.
