THE financial panic in New York is ex-
tending to many other cities and has created
distrust OF all institutions for deposit, re-
sulting in some instances in runs which are
generally promptly let and amount to
nothing. 1t is very gratifying to know that
probably no city on the Atlantic coast is so
free from danger of financial disturbance as
Portland. All our monied establishments
are in excellent condition and there can be
no possible chance of difficulty. They are
always carefully managed and keep entirely
free from speculative operations, confning
themselves to their legitimate business. OF
late, too, they have been specially prudent
in anticipation Of the present crisis of which
premontions have been visible Tor some time.
The care of our banks in keeping in condi.
tion to insure the stability OF our financial
situation is entitled to grateful recognition on
the part of the business community.

THE State Fair at Bangor last week was a
success, no. only in financial point Of view,
but generally in all its departments. The OF
ticers have spared no efforts to please the pub
lie and succeeded as they deserved. Our cores
pendent has criticised some features ofthe ex-
hibition and in no unfriendly or captious man
ner, and has rot attributed any shortcom-
ing to the managers alone. The Secretary,
Mr.. WATSON, was untiring in his efforts to af-
ford the public and the press all facilities for
Information. The Society is now in a most
favorable condition for future operations and
has tin its power to greatly assist the develop
ing resourcesof the State. In the future, we
hope the Society will make still greater efforts
to secure greater contributions from both farm
ers and manufacturers, for, despite all their
efforts, two firms in this city who would have
contributed complain that they had no invita-
ton or notice.

"The Jobbing Dry Goods Trnde..

To the Editor Of the Portland Press.
Under the above caption there is an article
in the last number of 'The State which is so
grossly inaccurate, especially in its account of
the early history of the dry goods iobbng trade
in Portland, that mnst call attention to its
errors
The writer entirely ignores, not only the early
dry goods traders in Portland who made job
bling portion of their business, connecting it
with their retail establishments long before
either of the merchants named in the Estate"
article commenced business, but also those mer-
chants who commenced tie jobbing business
entirely.
During the war of 1912, and from that pc
ROD so long as they continued in business here,
Messrs B. & G. Willis Barbour Il Lincoln
and Weber & Chase transacted large job
bling business, in connection with their retail
line. Not only were country merchants in
this State supplied by them but their trade also
extende. into Northern New Hampshire and
Vermont, as the books of one of the above men
TONED concerns (nOw before mel will show The
first person who commenced an entirely job
bling business in Portland was Horace Seaver in
1921. He was soon followed by Clinton Thayer
and in 1923 Vinton & Swan opened jobbing
establishment. These houses we're in opera
ton long before Bradley & Dow or Charles
Bradley commenced wholesale operations Mr..
Seaver Commenced his business in chambers in
Mussey's block, the entrance to which was on
Temple street Subsequently,, when the Tit
comb block was erectad-where the st. Julian
now stands-Mr. Seaver removed to that block
occupying one half of the chambers, Tbayer q
Hayes occupying the other half. Vinten r.
Swan occupied chambers in Boyds block
About that time another wholesale establish
ment was opened in the chambers on the cor
ner of Middle and Union streets by Eben Seav
er and Charles B. Abbott, the latter of whom
is now living and residing in Piscataquis coun-
ty.
The sales made by our early dry goods iob-
bers, annually, were considered in those DAYS of
large amount, especially when the largest
animal sales of the largest importing and lob.
bling houses in Boston did not come up to
million dollars. But the yearly aggregate sales
OF all of them would not come up to any where
near the annual sales of either ofsthe present
jobbing houses in this city, L.

CRY RrvALRY-A case now pending in
the st. Louis courts gives an amusing illus
tration Of the bitter rivalry between the mer-
chants of St. Louis and Chicago. In the
former city there is hardware dealer who
has been doing large business in the sale
of steel buggy springs at two dollars pair.
A Chicago firm, also engaged in the hard
ware line, flooded the region around st.
Louis with circulars offering to sell the same
article at Sl.25 a pair. The St. Louis man
at once began purchasing his springs of the
Chicago firm, who, it is claimed, were SELL
ing their goods for less than cost to entice
st. Louis trade to Chicago, and then sold
them to his customers at handsome profit.
The Chicago man, encouraged by the de-
mand for springs from St. Louis, made a
further reduction in prices, offering them at
81 pair, when the st. Louis man telegraph
ed an order for 1000 pairs, at the same time
sending draft to pay for them. By this
time the Chicago firm began to be suspi-
cious, and refused to send the goods but
one of the firm, being in st. Louis shortly
afterward; was sued FOR breach of contract,
damages being laid at $4,000. The St.
Louis journals are joyful over this capture
of one of the Philistines, and exultingly call
attention to the fact that the public enemy
must defend the suit in their own courts,
which of course they consider infinitely
more honest than those of Chicago.

The VAULT IN THE U. s. TREASURY
Passing into the ponderous jaws of the vault
we find ourselves surrounded on every side
by all the various kinds Of mmeylvhicht the
ingenuity of Congress and of successive Sec
retaries of varying views has devised. Le-
gal-tender notes, compound interest notes,
five per cent. notes, seven thirty notes, ma
tional bank notes, gold notes, three per cent
notes, fractional notes, and postage curren-
cy confront us at every turn. The compart-
ments of the safe failing to furnish accom-
modations for them all, they are piled up in
great heaps on the floor, apparently with no
more care than potatoes ofwheat. And yet
the value of every pile and package is known,
and the slightest loss would be speedily dis
covered. -Four hundred millions of dollars,
the vault clerk informs u.s. are contained in
this vault. No wonder, we exclaim, that
the Treasurer feels anxious for its safety.
The sides of the vault are divided into COM
partmeuts, cubic in form and of convenient
size, the door to each of which is numbered,
SO that its contents can be registered in q
book, and is provided with fastening to-
which leaden seal can be affixed. A cubic
al package, measuring about nine inches in
each direction, is tossed to US with the re-
mark that it contains four million dollars in
legal-tender notes. Four million dollars

thousandth part of the value contained in
this packet. which an infant could bold in its

conceivable wickedness, have endangered
and sacrificed their lives and battered their

JACKSON ON PECULAToRs.-J Just before
President Jackson retired from the presi-
dency, he told Hon. James Guthrie of his
characteristic method of dealing with men
who undertook to deal improperly with the
exigencies of their country. Contractors
followed Gen. Jackson's army far into the
Indian country, and when the army began
to suffer for provisions. Jackson was at
length informed of their extortionate de-
mands, and summoned them before him.
and attempted to appeal to their patriot
ism. He found that soil perfectly sterile.
At length he ordered body of officers
to appraise the goods, and allow the own
ers the appraisement. They refused to
sell, and Jackson, determined that his
soldiers should not starve, ordered the ra-
tons to be distributed, and faithful &C.
count to be kept.
As soon as the owners saw their pro-
visions disappearing, they waited on Gen.
jackson. and agreed to accept his terms.
Everything went on until he offered in
payment United States Treasury notes.
They refused to take them, and demanded
gold. Jackson reasoned with them until
he found they were memorable in their
demand. He then ordered file of SOL
ders to be detailed, two of them with
axes, to place the unpatriotic owners Oh
the fat-boats on which their goods had
been stored. Gen. Jackson said that af-
ter he had placed them on the boats, he
made what he told them was his last ap-
peal, and at the last moment they con-
sented to take the Treasury notes. He
paused at this part Of the statement until
NJ. Guthrie asked him what he intended
to do in case Of persistent refusal. The
old patriot replied that he would have
ordered the two soldiers armed with axes
to cut the cables, and the fellows on
board might have foated to hell or Texas,
he would not have cared which" He said,
"a man who would not trust his country
when engaged in war was not fit to live. y
We heartily say amen to Old Hickorys
patriotic sentiment. We regret that he is
not here now to pack unpatriotic curren-
cy gamblers on hat-boats and foat them
them of to unknown shores.
