Money and Credit

The banks in this city were open for
business as usual yesterday, but, owing
to the suspension of activities in the
security markets and the general cessa-
tion of operations in other lines, the
money market was about at a stand
still. AS matter of fact, less business
was transacted than on the preceding
heatless Mondays, owing to the fact that
business generally will be suspended
to-day (Lincoln's Birthday. There was
no change in rates for commercial
paper, which was quoted at 5M Gl6 per
cent for the best regular maturities.
Bank Clearings.-The days bank
clearings at New York were SAIL, ,291,-
$40; balances, $46,677,519.
Sub-Treasury.-The banks gained $4,-

day.
SiIver.-Bars in London were quoted
at 427sd, unchanged; New York, 85%

a goal has been set for the 1918

that the American family's ability to
can, in a patriotic situation. has been
demonstrated. The great canning eff
fort for the year 1917 has been esti-
mated at S50,000000 packs by officials
of the United States department of

lists say, in setting the new goal and
advising early preparations for the
1918 campaign. If a slogan is needed,

is suggested.
Pack for Last Year.
The method of arriving at the esti-
mated countrywide pack for last year
is interesting. Eight of the principal
concerns in the United States manu-
featuring rubber jar rings reported q
production for use in home canning
Of $50. T61 .24S rubber rings. Retailers
and jobbers, it is understood, carried
over from the year 1916 Il large supply
of rubber jar rings. Taking into ac-
count the special caps that were sold
and the use of jar rings a second time,
the officials believe it is safe to esti-
mate the number Of packs made in
homes last year at S50,000,000
Quart Jar for Canning.
Canning in most homes is done in
quart Jars. 1t is reasonable to assume
that the tWo-quart packs may be used
to offset the pint packs, specialists
say, and that therefore the total pack
estimated might safely be expressed in
quarts. Placing a general average
value of 20 cents quart upon this
product, the estimated value of her
medically sealed food canned in homes
| is $4,000, 600. In most cases this
food was produced on the farm or in
the backyard garden was canned in
the family kitchen, stored in the pan
| try, and is being consumed in the
| home The transportation facilities of
| the country were not taxed in the pro-
| ductioIf of this food and in most cases
| it was produced on soil that otherwise
| would have been idle, with labor that
| would have been unable to find useful
employment.

Prepare for Home Canning.
Collect all used Jars.
Examine each carefully.
Discard all defective containers and

was about SS.3 pounds per
