RISKY BANKING METHODS.

The belief is expressed that the Produce
Exchange Trust Company Of New York,
which suspended on Monday. viii open its
doors again. While it is true that, as
rule, the first reports Of officers of hnan-
cial institutions which ger into trouble
are more hopeful than the actual facts
warrant, there appears to be ground for
thinking that the suspension of the Pro
duce Exchange Trust Company was due
10 its inability to realize upon its securi-
ties as promptly as its needs demanded.
There IS a great deal Of interest taken
in this institution in this part of the coun-
try because it is understood that it is
closely connected with the scheme to con-
solidate the Seaboard Air Line. the Geor-
gia and Alabama and the Florida Gem
traI and Peninsular Railroads. It is
asserted, however, that the troubles of the
trust company viii not interfere with or
delay the consoIida tion scheme. In dis
patch published in the Morning News yes
terday. Mr.. Williams, president Of the
foregoing railroads. said that the amount
to which the trust company is interested
in his roads is only about $4,000, and
scheme was not dependent upon the abil-
ity of the trust company to overcome its
financial difficulties. That is good news.
The failure of the consolidation scheme
would be quite seriously felt in this city,
where improvements, either undertaken
or projected, costing more than a million
of dollars, would be adversely affected.
If the trust company succeeds in getting
upon a sold financial basis again it is
probable that it viii 50 far profit by its
experiences as to conduct it's busi-
There IS ample evidence that it
was inclined TO \ take too great
risks. It's first president Mr.. James H.
Parker, who held $50 900 worth of its stock,
resigned the presidency and sold his stock
as long ago as last January, because he
objected to its fnanciering some of the
syndicates which had applied to it for
financial assistance. He thinks, and so
does Edwin Could its vice president. that
its troubles are due to its loans to syndi-
Gates. These loans, 1t is pointed out
amount to 81 $4,425,O00. a sum almost equal
to its capital stock and surplus.
1t Is probable that the banks were not
over ready to assist it when it got into
trouble for the reason that il was not a
member of the Clearing House Associa-
tion. One of the stories is that its shares
have not been regarded as acceptable col
lateral by the clearing house banks. The
reason it is not member Of the Clearing
House Association is that it differed with
the clearing house banks as to the ad-
visibility of charging a commission on
checks on banks outside of New York 1t
collected these checks free of any charge,
and thereby obtained a very considerable
amount of additional business. 1t is
doubtful, however, IL what it gained in
this way offset what it lost by being out
of harmony with the clearing house banks.
1t will be known, doubtless. within very
few days whether or not it viii resume

PAVEMENTs IN THE SOUTHERN
SECTION.

Mr.. Krouskoff has clearly defined ideas
respecting the kind of material that should
be used in constructing sidewalks in the
southern section of the city, but there is
one point we think important which he
did not touch upon in his interesting talk
in the Morning News yesterday. 1t is
this. The sidewalks should be paved TO
the curbing and whatever space there is
for grass plats between the street and
the line of the lots should be between
the line of the lots and the sidewalk and
not between the sidewalk and the curD-
ing.
1t is impossible to grow grass between
the sidewalk and the curbing. There is
a constant movement of pedestrians from
the street to the sidewalk, and from the
only way to preserve the grass plats is to
have them next to the line of the lots, or
the fences inclosing the yards. And the
trees should be planted between the side
walk and the line of the lots. They would
then be out of the reach of horses left
standing in front of residences and stores
and mischievous boys would be less likely
to njure them by hacking them with their
knives. 1t seems to us that the Street
and Lane Committee would render the
southern section great service by adopt
ing a rule requiring sidewalks to be put
down and trees to be planted in accord
ance with these views.

The suggestion in the dispatches that
President Kruger is ready to negotiate a
peace on the basis of the status quo but
otherwise he will call upon the Beers in
Cape Colony TO Join in proclaiming the
independence of the Cape territories" re-
calls the famous proclamation of Bis
marck which had so much to do with con-
solidating the German states. Those who
are not with us we shah consider against
u.s. was practically the message which
Bismarck sent to the hesitating states. 1t
gave them something to think about; and
1t was not a great while before they were
found on the side of Prussia. And that is
about the idea that Kruger means to con-
vey to the Beers in South Africa. In the
event of the final success of the Trans
vaal and Orange Free State in their fight
with Great Britain. they could make it
very unpleasant for those Beers in Cape
Colony and the other territories who failed
to come out against the British.
