Dear SRI have for tome time past been
threatening to write to you, to LET you know
how we'll am pleased with the Ruthven
Press, improved and made by you but a
variety of circumstances have prevented it.
have had it in constant operation three
months during which time nearly all the
printers of this city, and a number of our
most ingenious mechanics, have called to ex-
anime it. They have pronounced it as COM
plete in every respect, as any machinery
they have ever seen.
The following is the idea have Of it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct
ed, on which more or better work can be
done in given time.
The exertionof working it is 20 more than
healthy exercise for a boy of Is years Of age

bly, proportioned, and not more liable than

STOCK IDRRING


Inc following extract of a letter, dated
Philadelphia, 18th Sept. 1920" will show the
great extent al Cincinnati at Tie evil resulting
from The loans of the Branch Bank OF the u.
States at that place.
gentleman OF high responsibility has res
turned few days since from Cincinnati. He
Staid IN the same house with Mr. Wilson, the
'-.ashier OF theUniied States Bank He con-
slders the business of the Bank extremely bad.
lie says Individuals owe ) $50 GOO, and Banks
$500 0OO more, and thai ont of the whole,
S2O. 600 would not be raised in cash AT once
The debtors are unwilling 80 enter into the ar
ran%ement proposed by Mr.. Wilson, which
was 10 allow them D or wears time OF their
giving security They say iiIcy will do nothing,
unless The Bank will take their real estate in
pay at wbdi /: cost them the'wl.e the
BANK maS commence SUITS, and by the time
they come round, they will take care OF them-
serves. The gentleman thinks real estate, sold
by The sheriff, would not bring more than one
third cost"
The above extract affords us fair sample of
the arts OF Interpretations WHO traffic in stocks
who buy 10 sell again, and by Que trick
other, lower tue price when they want TO buy,
AID raise II when they wish TO sell. We equal
ly condemn the articles OF both descriptions.
Tie loose terms of this extract were Ealpably
Intended TO insinusie meaning which
more critical examination will not sanction.
L has been known these Twelve months, and
was officially published, that the Bauk OF the u.
States would sustain considerable loss by the
Branch al Cincinnati, in the opinion OF mary
men, tie estimate of The aggregate loss al
that time was overcharged. The authors of
tie Report probably thought il would be hest
10 he on tie safe side. And we venture TO
predict, maugIe the opinion of the PbiIadcl-
phian who writes that he has seen gentleman
who stdid IN The sane house riM Dir. Wiisog,
(Which is probably all he had 10 do with Mr.
WiisOnEwlIo considers the business of the Bank
extremely bad" that the event will prove
that the estimate made in November last WAS
Overcharged. If the stock OF the Bank be
not now as high in the market as any other
stock Whatever, it is not because oils actual
or appTehended losses, but because of The
OnerOns conditions Of lis charter.
