Western Money situation

One of the larger banking institutions
In the Middle West in discussing the
money situation West Of the Mississippi
river, says In part: Fundamental con-
ditions In the western money market
reflect the stabilizing of commodities
in such way whereby the credit strain
purports of some moderate casing,
although not Of sufficient Importance TO
cause any pronounced change in the
business world. 1t is generally conceded,
however, that with the period OF read.
justment gradually going on. prices will
show some tendency to lower, although
any material drop In money rates is
not expected to occur before the be-
ginning Of the new year.
Judging by the quick absorption OF
new offerings in the way Of securities,
there is an abundance Of funds available
for the purchase Of offerings which show
net return of between and y per
cent. Considerable agitation has arisen
in respect to the grain and cotton mar
kets as to what will be the prevailing
prices in these commodities in the near
future.
Inquiries for loans are reported by
the larger banks as on about the same
level as during the last two weeks, and
accommodations are accorded in a con-
servative manner wherein loans are
deemed essential. Discount rates on
collateral are at ~ per cent, to
per cent on commercial paper and ga
to Z per cent for inquiries over the
counter. Buying Of commercial paper
is in n large measure still confined to
interior banks, institutions at. the
larger centers deeming it advisable to
retain as much of their surplus as con /.
sistently as possible in anticipation OF
what may be the requirements for crop I,
moving purposes toward the end OF

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

In commenting on the steel meeting
10 be held on Friday, prominent local
steel interest yesterday said there had
been quite good deal OF irresponsible
talk of reduced steel prices by the more
important independent steel plants to
be announced at the meeting of the
American Iron Institute to be held in
New York the latter part of the current
week.
Nothing of the sort Is likely to hap
pen. he said. The meeting will listen to
technical papers and, it is expected /.
Judge Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation, will make n
speech in which he will predict that,
unless labor costs come down. which
they seem unlikely to do, steel prices
must go up. The high price of pig
iron and higher freight rates are likely
TO force an advance in steel prices by
the United States Steel Corporation be-
fore any reduction in prices by the cor
poration takes effect.
Some Of the Independent steel plants
may cut prices here and there, he con
tinued, but the big Steel Corporation is
not expected to cut, nor are general
cuts by independents expected for some
time.

discussion Of Danish loan impending,
but inquiry failed to elicit definite in
formation. A $6,000,00 loan to the
Swiss city of Zurich, bearing per cent
and to run for twenty five years, was
quickly oversubscribed. The Federal
Reserve Bank called for payment Of
$31 900, 900 government deposits from
the New York institutions.
AT the same time the executive Of one
Of the prominent banks pointed out that
the banking situation Is becoming
stronger as a result Of the new financing.
Banks" he said, advanced hundreds
of millions Of dollars to corporations,
particularly on account of inventories.
Within the last several months these
loans have been passed to the public
in new security issues, thereby relieving
strains on the banks. By the end of
the year the banks will be in an ex-
ceptionally strong position"

DO YOU PAY
YOUR BILLS?
&sAas
You're To Blame

MAYHEM you ask for credit at a
Wv store and are informed that
you can't have it Don't Blame
the Merchant.
There is no one to blame but your
self You make your own credit,
and whether it is good or bad, it
stands as monument to your eff
forts.
Remember, your credit is based up
on how you pay your bills. If you
pay them promptly you deserve
credit, and you get it. If you don't
pay them, you don't deserve credit,
and you don't get it-but whether
you get credit or not depends abso-
lutely upon you and you alone.

Slow Payers Halted

nON'T deceive yourself. Don't
think you can neglect paying
one merchant and get what
you need on credit from another.
Don't think you can exhaust your
credit with one set of merchants and
then start in on another. This is an
era of pay as you CO."
Every merchant in the town. through
the Merchants Credit Association,
can learn how you pay your bills.
In unity there is strength; and the
merchants have united in a Mer-
chants Credit Association.

Women Smoke Pipes.

London, Nov. 6.-Pipe smoking
seems to be on the increase among
London women, and fashionable ci-
gar stores display dainty small briars,
some set with precious stones. 1t is
said there is a growing demand for
Jt.ese.
AT one West London theatre, where
smoking IS permitted, two smartly
dressed women were seen the other
evening in box putting at their jew
eled pipes, and soon an old Irish
woman in The gallery t~loWed sun
hers was clay "scutty.'
In a frst-class railroad car be-
tween Horsnam and London a quar-
rel arose the other day between a
number of non?smoking women and
another because she would not put
out her cigarette at her sister trav-
eler's behest. 1t ended IN one of the
anti-slnokers seizing the offending
cigarette, gold mounted tortoise-shell
holder and all, and throwing it out of
the window.
Two guineas costs will meet the
case," said the magistrate.
