MONEY AND TRADE.
The Week, SO Far, One of the Best of the
Year,

In spite of the bad weather, this week
promises to be one of the best of the year in
business point of view. Wednesdays bank

96l, ia IS. The balances were S43S 1872 49, Moth
Ing further need be said to prove that trade of
all kinds is phenomenally active.
There was no scarcity of loanable funds for
business purposes, but occasi onally outsiders
were refused accommodations. This was to
protect the regular clienIage, who have the
FIRST claim in the dispensation OF favors. They
stick to the banks and the banks stick to them.
Rates ruled steady on the 607 per cent basis.
Mr. Henry Clews, in diagnosing the financial
situation, says: "The currency movement with
the interior for the week shows net loss to
the banks of about 81, 2,250000, which indicates
the beginning of the cessation Of shipments of
money to the West that usually sets In after
the middle of October, and is . welcome
symptom. Taking the situation as whole.
incline to the hope that the worst phase of
liquidation has been passed. and that we may
now expect sufficient recovery in prices to
warrant moderate buying of the better class of
stocks"
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy. The last loan and close was at per cent.

In feeling rather than in figures the market
showed some recuperative power. and the opin-
ion was expressed by several brokers that the
next movement would be upward. But, OF
course, buyers will have something to say
about this. From the trend of things, however,
it seems that values will not be allowed TO 60
much lower.

TITLES ALL RIGHT.
The Bank of Commerce has a Sure
Grip on the Kelly Property.
FACTS AND THE LAW In THE CASE.
Light Trading in Stocks and Oil, With
Nothing Strange in Figures.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

The talk OF contesting the right of the
Bank of Commerce to the Kelly property in
Sterritt township, the bulk of it being in
Williamsburg, seems to have no substantial
ground to rest upon. The circumstance out
of which it grew is this: John McDevitt
bought from the BanS of Commerce lot in
the Kelly homestead plan, which he after
ward sold, but, alter the lapse OF some time,
the buyer refused to complete the purchase
on the ground that the bank having held
the property more than five years, in viola
tion of law, as alleged, could not make
legal deed to the lot. McDevitt now sues
the purchaser to compel compliance with his
contract. This suit is pending.
Owing to the importance of this matter to
almost every person in Williamsburg, THE DIS
PATCH representative yesterday sought infor-
nation at the bank, and was told by the
cashier that although under the law they are
not allowed to hold real estate longer than five
years. yet that does not prevent them from
making perfect title at any time, any ques-
tion as to the infractlon of the law in such
cases beng between the bank and the Con-
troller only.
The Cashier added: This question has been
occasionally brought up by young attorneys
examining titles but has always, until now, been
decided as point of no value. The bank, in
correspondence with the Controller, has his ap-
proval of this view. The object of the law is to
prevent the accumulation of bad assets, and SO
protect the public: and although national banks
are required to dispose of real estate promptly
the Controller can exercise proper discretion
SO that such property need not be unnecessarily
sacrificed. There need be no alarm on the part
of those who have purchased from the bank.
1t appears to be difference of opinion between
attorneys"
This seems to effectually settle story which,
if left uncontradicted. might prove an obstruc-
tion to one of the most prosperous commuui-
ties In the country.
