FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
FRIDAY. Oct. 20

THiDAl' OCt. ~.
All OF to-day's developments having a bear-
Ing upon tho value OF securities were favorable.
A strong tone was impaired to the London
market by English successes in South Africa
and by the easer condition OF the home money
market. Foreign arbitrage houses bought
stocks In this market upon more extensive
scale than for a long time past. The English
view OF the duration OF the war In the Trans
vaal and Of the outcome is most strongly re
nected in the price OF Rand Mining shares
which have advanced nearly G1O since hostill-
ties were begun.
The important local influence was weak
and lower market for sterling exchange 1t
appears that the sustained strength OF the
foreign exchange market yesterday was due
largely 10 the covering Of large amount Of
short exchange by an Institution that had be-
como alarmed at the course OF the market.
The demand from that quarter having been
satisfied. and remittances In connection with
the completion OF the Central Pacific refund-
ing operation having been about completed.
rates for exchange have begun to seek the
level that they usually ind at this season.
The possibility Of exports OF gold. which YES
terday seemed to be almost a probability. was
also lessened to-day by the action OF the Bank
OF England In declining to mako advances on
gold in transit or to rebate interest upon such
advances. Moreover. the Bank reduced its
buying price for American eagles to 70s. 3D.
These circumstances preclude shipments Of
specie from this centre. and with the nom
action Of the Bank regarding its minimum rate
OF discount yesterday would seem to indicate
that the Governors OF the institution are fairly
well satisfied with the monetary situation.
The feature OF the stock market was the buy
ing OF so-caed investment issues New York
Central and Pullmans Palace Car were except
ionay strong on the announcement that ma
jority OF the stockholders Of the Wagner Car
Company have decided to dispose OF their stock

The Wachoyia Loan and Trust COM
pany Of Winston, n. c., was organized
in June, 1898, under the act of the Gen
eral Assembly OF 1891, since which time
It's business has shown a gradual and
steady growth. In modern times the
existence of Trust Companies IS public
necessity, and provisions for their or
CARNATIONS have been made by most OF
the States of the Union. One of its
functions is to prevent carelessness, IN
competency and extravaganza on the
part of individuals and in the handling
of estates by methods governed by exact
ness, capablity, economy and honesty.
Trust Companies wherever organized
have met with great success, as is attest
ed by the vast volume Of business entrust-
ed to them. The province of Trust
Company is two-fold: First, what is
called the Trust Department; and, sec
ond, the Banking Department. The first
is the real object Of its existence, but it
could not be carried out successfully
without the second The Trust Depart
ment undertakes to do for the people
all that an individual does in a simpler
form of society. 1t acts as an agent
i'm all forms of business and relations of
life, when the individual is Incapable
of acting for himself. 1t assumes the
management of property, and the admin
istration of business affairs in all forms
that require an agency. Such IS the
work Of the Wachovia Loan and Trust
