MORE FIRMNESS
IN MONEY MARKET
Rates Return TO Higher Levels
Partly as Result of Fed
eral Transactions.

The money market was frmer last
week, with call loans holding at :
Il per cent most OF the time. There
was also a scarcity of offerings out
side of the Stock Exchange. in sharp
contrast with the plenitude OF funds
in the previous week. A number OF
factors entered into this weeks re-
turn to higher rates, in which gov
ernment transactions were the most
important. the latter resulting in
heavy Withdrawals of funds from
the local banks to meet the payment
of Liberty bond interest and the re-
demption of maturing certificates
of Indebtedness. The payment of
the State income taxes and cor
poration dividend and interest dis
bursements were additional burdens
which the banks were called upon
to meet. The offering of Sl5O,Oc0.-
goo of 5h per cent Treasury certifi-
Gates OF Indebtedness, a large per-
|centage of which was subscribed for
in this district. also had restrictive
influence on the loan market.
Time money was largely nominal,
with little new business being re-
ported at current rates. Borrowers
were seemingly unwilling TO meet
the price at which funds were Of
fered, preferring to fill their needs
in the call money market. The
quoted rates were 81 to Ga per cent
for mixed collateral. and 6lz to Z
per cent for all industrials. Com
mercial paper was unchanged at IA
to IA per Neent, with conditions re-
naming much the same as for a
long time past. The country banks
were-the largest purchasers of this
class of collateral, but the local in
stitutions occasionally took some
particularly choice paper, when
such appeared.

IRON and STEEL

Announcement of Reductions

Chief Feature.

The price revision announced by
the Steel Corporation is the chief
topic of current interest. Different
independent mills had recognized an
advance to $40. Pittsburgh, on
shapes and to s2.20 on plates, and
some comment is to the effect that
prices generally may seek a COM
mon level and present a fresh start

changes come at time when finish

are at a low level. Active pig iron

AS revised, the changes in quota

CERTAIN FACTORS

Hesitancy and Uneven
Recovery Marks
Situation.
PRICE CUTS AN AID
Industry's Uncertainties Are
Lessened, and Other Ben
efits Are in Sight.
PRICE CUTS AN AID

While the main condition of busi-
ness continues one OF hesitation and
uneven recovery from depression,
some factors give added encourage
ment. Announced price reductions
by the principal steel producer serve
to lessen the uncertainties in that
industry and may prove to be other
wise beneficial, and readjustments
elsewhere have reached the point
where buying interest is being re-
kindled in some instances.
An undercurrent OF revival in the
hide trade and allied lines has
gradually developed into more def
mite improvement, and some divi-
sions of the textile markets. notably
silks and woolens, are in a more
favorable position. These are sa-
lient features of a situation that Is
still characterized by much irregu-
larity, but which now seems to be
one of better promise.
After the far-reaching changes OF
the past year, II is not strange that
sharp contrasts yet appear, and that
progress in some quarters is SO
slow as to be difficult of discern
ment. The absence of general
disposition to operate freely ahead
is phase commented upon in
nearly all dispatches. and the mod
crate gain in manufacturing in
some branches is largely seasonal
and not representative of any Wide
spread tendency toward reduction
in unemployment. With a fairly
broad retail distribution, on the
other hand, purchases for replen-
ishment are being made more fire.
quently, If usually in small
amounts. and requests for quick
shipments have disclosed a rather
pressing need for goods in some
channels. Where demands have Te-
fiected some urgency. sellers have
assumed a more confident attitude.
and slightly higher prices have been
named on certain commodities after
months of almost continuous yield
ing. This condition, however, is the
exception, as Dun's list of whole

HESSIAN FLY WORSE
THAN GREEN BUG
Twenty Times More Destruc.
tive, Declares Bureau of
Crop Estimates.

The Hessian fly is twenty times
more destructive to the wheat crop
than the green bug. Just how much
wheat production these insects pre-
vent cannot be known in fact, but
estimates by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture indicate
that, theoretically, a production of
100000 bushels is prevented by
the Hessian fly and less than 5O,0OC
bushels is prevented by the green
bug. in the average of years, or
about IL per cent of a full crop by
the former and 0.065 per cent by the
latter
Greater damage by the Hessian fly
than the average since 1908 occur
red in 1914. 1915 and 1916, the high
est percentage being ass per cent
in 1916. but percentages as low as
G 90 and 0.31 appeared in 1915 and
1917. The largest damage of record
by the green bug since 1908 was
0.30S per cent In 1916, and the low
est O.016 per cent in 1911 and 1917.
Since the beginning of the bu-
reau's record in 1909, the greatest
damage to the wheat crop by tn :
green bug, in 1916, may have
amounted to only 100000 bushels,
while in the same year also occur
red the greatest damage by the Hes
sian fly, which is computed to have
been about 100000 bushels. The
wheat crop of that year fell to the
low production of 36,000,000 bush
els, but, although 1t was the green
bugs most active year since 1905,
that bugs damage amounted to only
0.3 per cent of full crop. while the
Hessian fy's damage, also a maxi
mum. was about az per cent.
Oklahoma and Northern Texas are
the principal fields Of the green bHg's
operations, with sometimes an eS-
tension into Kansas, but K plies IT'S
vocation to a small extent in many
other States. The Hessian fly Is
most manifest in single line of
States from Ohio to Kansas and also
in Kentucky and Tennessee.

Butter Market Easy.

Strictly choice grades Of table
butter were in steady demand
throughout last week, but easier
conditions developed on Thursday
under pressure of free offerings.
The. quality of receipts appears to
be showing Increased irregularity,
and predictions are being made Of a
coming scarcity of the choicest
stock. A good many buyers, how
ever, seem willing to accept butter
that scores slightly under the best,
and this helps the situation. I'M
probability OF sharp competition
from abroad Is indicated by advices
from Europe. Receipts Of state and
nearby dairy were light, and OFFER.
ings were well absorbed at full
prices. Renovated were neglected.
and both ladies and packing stock
