ment last week OF the Exchange OAnki
and they laid In money to meet the
EFFICIENCY. However, the run was such
IS an iron and steel center should be
proud Of, and an example TO otherindus-
trial oenters. At one bank there was
small crowd, but the officers were sur
prissd TO End that q large proportion OF
II were men who came to make deposits
and help the bank out, with the result
that at the close OF business every oe-
mand had been met and the bank had
more money than at the opening. An
other bank had $1,000 increase, another
took IN four times as much as was paid
out, and still another seven times more
than had been demanded. The Bank OF
Wheeling expected a run, and piled
S45O, 600 carrency before the paying tel
Ter. They paid out many small amounts,
but opened forty new accounts and had
taken In more than they paid out. AT
the Wheeling Title and Trust Bank not
q certificate was presented, and the ca b
In the vault increased 1000 during
the day. This is a large savings
fnatftutioD. and was expect
log a run. The result OF the ex-
pected run is the making OF q reputa-

there is less reason than ever In scare,
for the financial situation has improved
greatly within two weeks, and II this
continues, as is not all unlikely, a month
hence the monetary stringency will be
mattery Of history. Tribune.

Ii isn't safe 70 employ detectives; they
make out so much OF q case in the line
OF their instructions that IL may con-
