SOME OF THE new TRUSTS
THOSE RECENTLY INCORPORATED
HAVE SPECIAL FEATURES.
One New Company Devotes Atten-
ton to BnnlSers-AnOther HIS
Branches In Cuba.

New York Commercial.
Every trust company recently incorporated
has introduced some special features 10 at
tract deposits.
The Bankers Trust company announces
that 1t will devote particular attention to
banking houses the North American Trust
company has found profit in the establishment
OF branches in Cuba; the Mutual Trust COM
pany will be conducted on cooperative plan /;
the Merchants Trust company, as 1t will
probably be called will cater to the business
OF merchants. and so on down the list.
The remarkable growth of the business OF
trust companies and their ability to pay divi-
demos ranging from 10 to III per cent has nat
uraly resulted in the formation of institutions
of this character. Last week the announce
ment was made that three new companies
we're III process of formation. each with its
own special feature designed to attract de-
POSTS.
The plan of the Mutual Trust company,
which was outlined briefly in yesterdays
Commercial, attracted considerable attention
i'll III ancial circles, and its outcome will be
watched with interest.
The Mutual, unlike other trust companies,
Will make mo attempt to accumulate a sur
rlus, but will divide its profits among its
stockholders and depositors at ratio of to i.
For example, II the company earns ~ per
cent on its capital stock, and is paying per
cent interest to stockholders and per cent
TO cepositors, the extra per cent will be di-
Nided pro rata. the stockholders being en-
titled to three-fourths and the deposltors 10
cne-fourth. The fact that some OF the trust
their capital stock will no doubt have a ten
Gency to direct considerable business to the
Mutual.
The percentage of yearly earnings of trust
companies, based on their profits for the six
months ending June 80 last, is shown in the
following table.

The main factor was the weakness of Liver

decline of I'D. which was increased to I'D be-

good many bad threshing reports were
received from the Northwest but. notwtb-

crop put the total at 191 900 bushels for
three big wheat States. As the government
estimate was but l6S'OO9oOO bushels, this had
good deal OF effect Fine weather was also
reported In the wheat belt, and this made
sellers of the Northwest crowd.
The decline was rendered the more easy
from the fact that during the recent advance
shorts had generally covered and bulls loaded
up. and In consequence liquidation was at

ever, was not driven home to the big holders
until late in the afternoon. The price mean

New YORK; Cotton.

New York August l5.--More pacific condi-
lions prevailed at the cotton exchange today,
yet the market was still very active. Neill's
cotton report. forecasting the possibility of
l2.oV'.0op- bale crop, produced some effect on
the local market, through its influence on
cables, which reported a decline of . to 3
points at Liverpool. The Liverpool decline
was ascrihed by private cables chiefly to
Neills circular. Ths market opened steady
with decline Of . 10 points. Prices, how
ever. were soon back again To yesterdays
closing ngures on buying. FOR Wall street ana

estimate was felt when this demand subsidized
and the market again became weak and prices
fell away. The government chart failed to
INDICATE any sign of rain in the Southwest
and Texas reports continued bad. Despite This
general outside support was withdrawn and
Tor the remainder OF the session local sentl-
ment was exceedingly nervous. At one time
In the afternoon the net decline was u matter

tion. following the appearance OF outside sell

was In evidence all day in the stock market.
They made a vigorous attack in the morning,
and by 2 o'clock seemed to have exhausted
their efforts In the last half hour Brooklyn
RAND Transit lost 5ss per cent by hard beat
attacks. The Industrial specialties suffered
most severely. and the action in the railroads
reached point in only few cases. A few
of the railway stocks, which had shown early
strength. succeeded in retaining net gains.
In the list of industrials, outside OF the
Tobacco stocks. not a single stock OF nm
portance retained any net gain American
Steel and Wire was under pressure early III

wiped out in the late decline
The holiness of the bears was due to the
conviction that. since the market refused to
30 up yesterday on the much improved con-
dt.ons of the local money market, nothing
else is in sight likely to give an upward I'M
petus to prices. The recent activity of vari-
ous polls which have been taken on heavy
lines of various stocks in spite of the general
apathy of the market also makes the market
vulnerable TO determined attack.
Call money worked easier in New York, but
there is still belief that the money thus

Fort Worth, Texas, August 15.-Inform-
alton has been received at the George B..
Loving Commission company's headquar-
tiers from Mr.. Loving, who is still In
New York on business connected with the
cattle syndicate, to the effect that he is
progressing satisfactorily toward the con-
summation of the object of his visit East
When Mr.. Loving left Fort Worth for
New York he expected to be able to close
the deal in a short time. but since he ar
rived there he has been somewhat re-
tarded In his efforts on account of the alb
sence of two or three prominent men who
are to be in on the mammoth transaction.
Ihese gentlemen are in the old country,
but are expected to return home In a
very short time. On their arrival in New
York Mr.. Loving will be able to push
matters to final conclusion and return
to Texas So far as is known here there
seems to be fair prospects OF the deal be-
ing closed in a few weeks.
II is learned here that Mr.. Loving's
representatives are experiencing no trou-
Bile in securing further options on cattle
ana ranch properties. and nearly every
DAY an option Is reported secured from
some section In West Texas, where the
major portion of the options have already
been secured.
