to DO elected cashier of the Mechanics Bank,
has made two attempts to reply to the calm,
6gnifed statement Of Mr.. Edmonds relative
to the administration of the affairs of that
institution This Mr.. Burk has held q SUBJ
ordiate position in the bank about four years, and
he not only makes an effort to give an account Of
the management of Mr.. Edmonds during that
time, but has actually been overhauling the books
for many years previous, and trying to explain
what he does not begin to understand. The posi-.
ton of the bank gives little Importance to some of
his Statements but he exhibits so much bitterness,
80 much spite, such narrow mind throughout the
controversy that that importance is destroyed.
In looking over the books of the bank from 1910 to
1874, this individual, who is great at figures has
discovered that there was credit of discounts re-
ceived on drafts and he at once jumps at the con-
clusion that Mr.. Edmonds must have privately dis
posed of the amount received. Had he not been 80
blinded by his prejudices, he could easily have
learned that during the period named it was not the
custom of the bank to receive drafts as cash which
were at any discount consequently there could have
been no discount to credit It is also well known
by those whose memory extends further back
than Burks, that Mr.. Edmonds was taken sick
in June, $780, and was in the bank very little for
several months. In November that year he went to
Europe, and did not return until August, ls4l, Mr..
C. Stebbns, Of Cazenovia, acting as cashier in the
meantime. From January first until about the mid
die Of April, 1912, Mr.. Edmonds was in Albany, OBJ
tanning an alteration in the charter Of the bank per-
hitting reduction Of its capital. During that time
Mr.. Knapp in full charge. 1t is barely possible
that Burx knew nothing of these facts when he set
about bunting up items to strengthen his case, and
little knew who he was duplicating in his charges.
There was very interesting story published in
recent number of Dickens Household Words, called
The "Toady Tree" which we recommend to Mr..
Burk for careful perusal We leave him to apply
the moral. This individual is, we hear, candidate
for the vacant cashiership of the Mechanics Bank,
an institution which holds the funds of the city
treasury, and has enjoyed a high degree of credit
under the management of Mr.. Edmonds. It is to be
hoped that so long, at all events, as 1t holds the
ctys funds, it will continue to be well managed
and it is therefore necessary that Mr.. Edmonds
place should be filled by man in whom the COM
munity at large have the highest confidence The
directors of that bank have duty to perform to the
public as well to their stockholders and we trust
they will exercise their best judgment in the selec-
ton Of its officers.

The Grocers' Fire Insurance Company has declar-
ed semi-annual dividend of eight per cent; the
St. Marks Fire Insurance Company, five per cent,
semi-annual; the Phenix Bank, Hartford, CT, four
dollars per share; the Shawmut Sugar Refining
Company, on demand dividend Of four per cent
the Lawrence Manufacturing Company, Of Lowell,
a semiannual dividend OF four per cent.
We are glad to see that the New York Central
Railroad Company have no intention of resembling
the resolutions recently passed regulating the trans
fer OF stock. The directors adopted the new system
to guard the interests of stockholders, and we do
not see why they should consult the convenience of
the Board Of Brokers In this matter, more than the
protection Of the pubic from such frauds as the
past year or two have developed. The company is
bound to protect its stockholders and the public
first at all hazards, aud the directors have nothing
to do in their official capacity, with the Board Of
Brokers.

The tendency Of quotations at the opening this
morning was downward, and before the close lower
prices ruled. The only stock on the list in which
there was any improvement was Erie, and the ad
vance in that was a small fraction. Reading, Mica
ragua and Cumberland sold freely at a slight de-
cline. Pennsylvania Coal was in more active de
mand. Western railroad stocks were generally
neglected-those having real merit not Offering
and those of a fancy character finding no buyers
The cobweb railroads Of Ohio are daily losing caste
in this market, and we look for depreciation in
their stocks similar to that which has overtaken
most Of the New England railroads, particularly
those of Vermont At one time the railroads OF
Massachusetts were considered among the best in.
vestments Of the day. Now they are among the
cultes to contend with that ruined the Eastern
roads-competitio the result will be the
same. At the first board to-day, Albany Exten-

The upward movement in Erie is attributed to the
increased business derived from the Hornellsville
road. 1t is estimated that the gross earnings this
month will exceed six hundred thousand dollars

strong movement in the stock, and it may be par

not vary much from and quarter millions Of dol

upwards of half million; SO that at the time of the
next bank statement, nearly two millions of dollars
will have been taken out of this market. The banks
