STOCK AND PRODUCE MARKETS.
Prices Held Firmly Despite an AL
most Staruant Demand.


New York, Aug. 26.-The striking fact
about today's market was the absence of
any large offerings to sell. The sharp
rise of prices at the opening of the mar
ket was on very moderate volume OF
purchases. The buying demand fell off
almost Immediately. but prices receded
very slightly and held firmly in face OF
an almost stagnant demand. The big
buyers were practically out Of the mar
ket, and even the small demand showed
few stocks Forthcoming, SO that prices
moved easily in either direction. Even
with the condition SO inviting to man
ipulation the market was apparently
neglected BY all interests. and many
stocks which have been active in the re-
cent trading did not move at all during
the entire day. The total sales, 22O0Ot
shares, is the low record for several
months past Much more animation was
manifested In the bond market, and prices
there were strong, exercising a sustain
ing influence on stocks. Closing bids:

FRIDAY, AUGUST ~, 1907.

The annual reunion of the members OF
the New Castle County Farmers Institute
took place yesterday at Shellpot Park.
Never before has there been such a large
ere WI ut the park. The bone and sinew
OF New Castle county farmers, well dressed,
we'll fed and healthy looking people, they
were sure, rs they promenaded through
TO park, chatting and swapping their
views on the probable price Of wheat, corn
and oats before tho foreign demand is sup
piled with these cereals. The women out.
numbered the men, ten to one, and chatted
with friends and acquaintance over the
many new labor saving machines now In
use In the dairy, that were uudreamed OF
Ia their mothers days. The scene was
one panoramic view Of the kaleidoscope Of
life, Us you stood and watched the great
concourse Of people. passing and requesting.
laughing. chatting and enjoying life as
only the happy and contented farmers,
their wives and children can. at che pros
pect Of farming going to be remunerative
once more. Tho convention was presided
over by Mr.. A. -Naudain, Jr.. and speeches
were made by Eben N. Baldwin, Rev.
WILDER H. Jagssrd, John Gould and the
Hon. J. H. Brigham. The park band en-
lvened the time between speeches In the
afternoon by playing catchy, familiar
tunes. Judging from tho farmers who at
tended Shellpot Park yesterday afternoon,
the New Castle county farmers are as pros.
porous, happy aud contented set OF peo-
pie as you will fluid anywhere in the United
States. The reunion was complete sue :.
cess and old time friends spent the time in
chatting with one another over old times
and Incidents that happened in their young
days. These reunions show that the farm
crs take great interest in them and look
forward to the meetings with great deal
Of pleasure.

WHAT Is DUE a BANK.

Banks expect depositors to keep sufficient
balance in bank at least TO pay for the trouble
of keeping their account.
There is no hard and fast rule on this sub
ject, however, and depositor may draw to
the last cent If he sees fit. the bank being
guided in its subsequent course by the cir
cumstances Of the case.
Banks make their loans chiefly in the form
Of d.scounts that is upon notes and other
commercial paper discounted for the conven-
fence OF their customers, the character Of
which securities have been explained in pre-
vious lessons
loaned the borrower and is generally payable
in advance.
Banks also lefri money on other securities,
such as stocks and bonds of states and public
and private corporations. National banks
only lend money on personal securities.
State banks are generally allowed by law
10 also lend money on real estate.
The owners of commodities lying in pub
lie warehouse may obtain loan on depositing
with bank the certificates of ownership,
and advances Of money are also made on
'bills of lading," being the receipt given for
goods or cargo conveyed by common carrier
on land sea, and in the nature of q con
tract between the shipper and the carrier.

HOW BANKS HELP BUSINESS.

To the business community, Of which he is
an important member, the banker is most
useful individual.
He receives money which would otherwise
lie useless, and lends IL to those who can and
are willing TO use IL.
His own profit comes in between the inter
cs, which he pays to the depositor and the in
terest which he receives from tho borrower.
In this way the banker acts as an agent for
the great business world, doing what other
business men have not the time or the oppor-
tunity, even IL they have the means. to do for
themselves.
BY gathering in deposits from various
sources the banker makes available and useful
tho capital which, IL IL remained in numerous
individual hands, would be barren and un.
profitable.
The ordinary businessman comes.in contact
with bank either rs depositor or borrower,
and generally in both capacities.
