NEW YORK SAVINGS BANKS

New York, Dec. 1T Is stated In Wall
street that the board of trustees OF the
Seaman's Bank for Savings is consider
ing the question Of reducing the rate Of
interest from to 311a per cent, and that if
this bank takes such a course many OF the
other big institutions that have been hes
itating will probably follow suit.
The idea of reducing interest has been
under consideration for several years and
II was actively preached at the last meet
ing of the New York Savings Bank asso-
citation. 1t was the general opinion that
early steps would have TO be taken, al
though no formal course was recon-
mended.
Many of the local savings banks officials
believe that it is only a question of time
when they Will have to come down TO 5
per cent in New York City for there are
now very few investments outside Of land
mortgages yielding more than 81 per
cent in which the savings banks are al
lowed to use their funds.
In Wall street an impression prevails
that the bankers OF some Of the leading
cities have been exchanging notes with a
view of taking uniform action. thereby
dispelling the notion that any one or two
cities are adopting arbitrary measures

Mixed Lot of offerings,
TOPS REMAIN AT 1922 70

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
el2q5c lower on the days general aver
age. 1t was a decidedly wabbIy mar
ket in the trade all day. The day opened
with a line of pens Of variously mixed
hogs in sight and for sale. These were
hold-overs from the late rush of ues-
day night. The first sales Of the morn
ing trade were principally made up of
these car lots from the day before, and
also very fair line of wagon oerings.
Some OF the wagon hog sales went at
prices seemingly strong with Tuesday.
Steady, market SOME of their sales But
these varying points continued up and
down, according TO the grade of hogs
the reports from other markets, and the
local competition. In sympathy with the
other points and the next nearest market
this one sagged through the forenoon,
end remained draggy market for some
time after dinner. Prices paid for car
hogs clear up to the close of the trading
were made at strong prices as were
possible. the general and universal mar
Eets considered. The tone of the trading
after noon was decidedly different from
the early quotations. Up TO noon there
were only wagon and local hogs on sale,
but from then on, the car stuff appeared.
and all receipts for the day as well as
that which was left over from the day
before commenced to weigh up, with the
result that the market tone changed per-
Ceptibly toward the close, and the final
quotation was frmer than at any time
during the day. In sympathy with all
other markets the first quotations were
made at a lower point. But the last load
to cross the scales showed a firmer tone
ana indicated stiff demand for desirable
hogs. There had been sales recorded which
showed . better market and the last load
sold at So 212, firming Up from the desul-
tory market tone of the early part Of
the day. The quality was only fair for
the day, there being no extra good hogs
received, and such as appeared ssld at
once at the best prices. There was a
good demand for fat hogs and all that
came in were disposed of promptly.

BANKER MARSH PLEADS GUILTY
Court Will Later Hear His Plea Of
Mitigating Circumstances.

Philadelphia, Dec. 7.1iideOn W. Marsh,
president OF the keystone National bank,
which failed March, 1884,, was arraigned
in the United States district court tod ly
and pleaded guilty TO indictments cha-g
ing the misapplication of funds of the in
stitution and the making of false reports
of the banks condition TO the comptroller
OF the currency. Sentence was deferred
1t will be remembered that March disap-
peared in May, 1884, his bail of $4,000 being
forfeited, and that he was a fugitive from
justice until November 3 last, when ne re
turned to the city and voluntarily surren-
dered to the court.
William Steele, formerly cashier Of the
wrecked Chestnut Street National bank,
was also arraigned today and pleaded MT
guilty to an Indictment charging him
with aiding and abetting President Will
lam NJ. Singerly now deceased in the
misa appropriation of the funds of the IN
stitutiOn.
After Marsh had entered his plea of
guilty his counsel asked the courts per-
issiOn to present a statement of his client
which would show mitigating circum-
stances in connection with the commission
of the acts to which he pleaded guilty.
Counsel informed the court that this
statement would show that after Mr.
Marsh had assumed the presidency Of the
bank he found that there existed def
cheney in the bank of over a million dol
lars. He had no doubt erred in covering
this deficiency. but the load was too much
for the bank to carry and finally resulted
in its failure. Counsel said the defendant
had never appropriated one dollar through
the banks losses and that when he fed
over seven years ago he had not with HIM
one dollar OF the banks money.
The court dismissed the matter by in
forming counsel that he would remand tie
prisoner until Tuesday next. when he
would impose sentence after hearing coun-
sells plea. He, however. would not MAKE
this case an exception and would not go
into an investigation OF the banks az
fairs He would merely listen to counSel's
statement relative TO the defendants acts
with the object Of determining the extent
Of punishment to De imposed.
