THE bankers are getting valuable ex-
perience surely Those men, who,
seemingly, should need experience least,
are getting most Of It now. It is costly
experience, too. The banks Of Boston
and New England will suffer to the ex-
tent Of 1900, 900 as the result Of &C
cepting duplicate and worthless ware
house receipts for wheat on Minnesota
warehouse. II seems passing strange
that shrewd and careful bankers need
so much experience over and
over again TO teach them that
a small piece Of paper may
not represent so much actual merchs n
disc at all, and that If it does, that fact
is readily ascertained by mail or tele
graph within short enough time to
make the large loans that have been
usually demanded in such transactions.
Within q few months the bankers have
been caught for large amounts on bogus
receipts purporting to cover cotton
wniskey and grain. The status of these
receipts is easily ascertained. Even il
the borrower has good reputation FOL
honest dealing and needs the sums he
demands at once. the bankers, after grant
ing the accommodation on warehouse
receipts as collateral, still have
the chance Of making an investi.
CATION to be satisfied whether thu
goods can be identified, whether il
is there, and whether the receipts ar,
genuine and original 1t is amazing
that prudent bankers do not take sucl
precautions.

Rough Weather.
ST. JoHN's, N. f., August Lieu
tenant PeaIy, according to reports from
Labrador, was in bad straits there last
week. He reached Battle Harbor on
July 10, after a passage of three days
from here, during which he encountered
very tempestuous weather The heavy
seas swept the ship, damaging her and
injuring the burros that are part of his
outfit. They were perishing when
Battle Harbor was reached, and he
stopped two days to enable them to
reeuperate and repair damages. An at
tempt to buy dogs there was unsuccess-
full, none being for sale
He tried at Upernavik, the next port
of Importance, but there the resider Is
demanded so much for them that the
lieuten Mt declined to buy. Next he tried
Hopedale, but there, too, the inhabitants
asked exorbitant prices He was con-
templating slaughtering the burros.
The Kite with the relief expedition
reached Mccormick Bay last year on
August 2 Lieutenant Pesry does not
believe that he can leave the
coast before the end of this month,
or reach Bowdoin Bay before late
in August. He will therefore run
the risk of finding the ice pack sol
idifed, OF, if he gets through, of having his
st amer frozen in there all winter This
is the most likely contingency as she will
be detained a considerable time landing
stores, and she also runs the risk, at this
late period, of being nipped and crushed
by the heavy ice. ANY of these contin
gencies would seriously affect if not ruin
the exp ditiOn.
