WHILE the statements of the assets of
several of the banking institutions which
recently suspended payment show surplus
over liabilities, which with prudence on the
part of the managers and forbearance on
the part of their creditors may save depos-
ltors from loss, it is painfully noticeable
that far too large proportion of the funds
entrusted to them for safe keeping, has
been invested in speculative securities, thus
working double evil in withdrawing cap
ital from the legitimate field of banking
business ,discounting commercial paper, and
throwing 1t into speculative enterprises,
allured thereto by the prospect Of large
profits. This is what cripples productive
industry, stimulates expenditure and
deprcciates sound business values, while
it initiates those of fancy stocks. No won
der merchants and traders complain that
money is Scarce, when loans on pledges
Of fancy stocks are preferred by bank
managers to discounts of business paper !;
and the worst OF this sort OF mismanage-i
ment is that when an institution has once
passed the limit of safety, and loaded
itself with stock collaterals, its managers
are easily induced when the market
weakens to attempt to support it by fur
ther advances upon similar stocks, in
stead of risking depression, and perhaps
small present loss, by calling in loans
made upon like stock collaterals.
1t is also noticeable, in some instances,
that the Accommodations granted to custom
ers has not been governed by even hon.
est caution, much less business prudence.
Immense loans to single firms are con-
trary to every. even the more elementary
rules of sound banking. To certain
prudent limit the borrower is the servant
of the lender, but that past, their positions
are reversed, and the borrower demands
support where he had formerly pleaded for
help.
The two errors in bank management,
which we see developed so fully in the
published reports to which we alluded at
the commencement of this paragraph, have
been the root and branch of our late panic
aud old Hlsop warned against them when he
illustrated the adage, "don't let go sub
stance to grasp shadow" and, "don't put
all your eggs in one basket" III. I,

low heads of the same varieties
show at least two-thirds more
fruit, as large or larger and ss
high colored as those with high
tops" To test the matter he cut
off in, certain rows all the limbs
from four TO six feet from the
ground, and in others encouraged
the limbs to start close to, the

neither thinned nor pruned, except
occasionally to lop away a too
lusty shoot in order to preserve a
symmetrical appearance, or an
evenly balanced head; and the
above is the result.
