This table proves that Pennsylvania
which has been regarded as the home Of the
building and loan association, stdll stands
at the head of the list; but 1t is somewhat
surprising to find New York state so far
down in the Nine, and Ohio, Illinois, New
Jersey and Indiana preceding that state.
1t would be an interesting problem to con-
slider the growth Of these institutions as
related to that Of the savings banks. At
first sight 1t would appear that the build
ing and loan associations get their largest
strength in industrial states, where the
use of the savings bank as depository for
small economies Is least accessible. In the
New England states, where the average per
capita deposit in the savings institution Is
larger than In any Of the other states, the
building and loan associations do not make
a very important showing, even In Massa-
chusetts. On the other hand. the building
and loan associations have attained their
highest development In Pennsylvania,
where the per capita Of savings bank de-
posits takes rank with the lowest On the
whole, however, we imagine that the build
Ing and loan associationis attractive main
ly to people who would not otherwise take
the trouble to save the small sums which
membership in such associations exacts.
The growth of the savings banks has not
been affected adversely by these organiza-
tions-not apparently 50, at least. Up to
the present these cooperative loaning or
ganizations appear to have been conducted,
on the whole, with rigid conserva :ism
This is remarkable when we consider that
their affairs are seldom In charge of trained
financiers, men in ordinary walks of life,

Shy Mr.. watson's Predicament

Those who know Mr.. Watson best insist
that he is the shyest young man rooming
| on the North Side. He is afraid to go out
of an evening, dreading the ordeal induced
by the presence of others of his species, and
especially is he a fugitive from young wo-
men. Down town he can talk in the pur-
| suance of his vocation like an inspired
| auctioneer, but in the house where people
| live he Is red and dumb and miserable.
By some fashion of hypnotism Mr.. Hussey
Induced Mr.. Watson TO come out to his
| house for dinner the other evening" and
for two hours the Husseys and the two
Misses Marsh and Mrs. Bryce, a young
married friend of the family, tried to make
him feel at such ease as would cause him
to talk, for previously Hussey had told his
wife of the real sterling qualities Of Wat
SON, who had been everywhere and had seen
| all but three of the things of this world
which are worth seeing. But 1t was
hopeless case. Watson sat by with his
tongue cleaving to the roof of his mouth,
in agony, because he was in company. He
realized the situation and wished he could
say or do something to somebody and thus
prove that he was alive and had vocal or
cams. At last he thought he saw a chance.
The conversation had reached a point
where the day of the week figured.
II don't know what day today is, but
know what day tomorrow is going to be-"
cried Hussey's little 5-year-old girl.
what day will tomorrow be- dear?" in
quired Mrs. Bryce.
'We'nsday!"
"And how" said Mr.. Watson, speaking
for the first time In the evening, and only
daring to do SO then because he did not fear
so small a girl, land how do you know to-
morrow Is Wednesday,"
Because" very cheerily. II change my
underclothes on Wednesday,"
Mr.. Watson retired from the conversa-
ton for good.-Chicagu Record.

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade IN
Cereals

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Wheat experienced
strong start because of disappointment
small receipts In the northwest and higher
quotations from Liverpool, although the
latter latter were not unexpected in view Of the
advance on this side Saturday. The visivle
supply statement was 1900 bushels m
crease for the week. AS decrease had bee
expected, the bullishness of the market re-
ceived partial extinguisher. People who
needed September wheat and had found
considerable difficulty in buying were now
enabled to have their wants supplied with
out shouting for the wheat, sellers being
compelled to take a turn at the shouting.
The estimate that the carloads Of what al
Chicago for tomorrow's inspection would
number 405 was another blow to the bulls
In the market. That in addition to the dis
appointment about the visible caused Sep
TENDER to drop for time all it's early ad-

TENDER was losing ! cent. December was
much more largely dealt In that September

tive trading feature. September was DIM
