dollars The increase of the Philadelphia banks in the
line since the 2St of June has been nine hun
dred thousand dollars showing expansion in proper
ton to capital approaching that at New York Very
proper inquiries at this time are " in what and how are
these loans employed how much, if any is suspended
paper, representing real value, and never to be
collected how much is employed in legitimate trade
and how much in initiating the stock market !''
We repeat these all-important inquiries and
if fully and satisfactorily answered would present basis
for wholesome reasoning to the future 1t is manifest
that the fall business is to be light one and that for
three months from the beginning of November until the
spring trade commences shall have slim trade and
less demand for capital than at present Will capi-
talsts continue to hold it unproductve depose in
