Texas is n conspicuous example of the
great prosperity enjoyed throughout
the South. Since January 1, 1900, fifty
nine new banks have been established
in this district, most of them in ac-
cordance with the act of March IA,
1900. The number recently reported to

as New York. Resources and deposits
of National banks of Texas are $780,

December record by $4,3OO,31S and 3d.

Probably the most remarkable re-

the substantial increases in deposits
and resources of 1929, ,554 and $942,-
SAT. In this this territory twenty-one
national banks have been established
since January %, 1900.
In Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and
Illinois, including their principal cities,
big increases in national bank assets
have been observed and the same en-
couraging reports are made concerning
the bank statements from other states
and cities whose accounts have been
balanced Judging from the general
run of the completed abstracts, officials
predict that the grand total of aggre-

JAPAN PREPARING
TO RESIST RUSSIA

London. March 23.-The foreign Of
flee takes n pessimistic view of the
situation in the East, in spite of the
settlement of the Tien-Tsin question,
and entertainS grave fears that the re-
lations between Japan and Russia may
shortly reach the danger point.
Judging from information obtained
in various official quarters in London,
Japan has confided to at least some OF
the powers her determination to op-
pose at all costs any secret agreements
made between Russia and China by
which the former could secure terrific
rial or other advantages contiguous to
Korea.
The British government has received
no official confirmation that the Japan
ese fleet is mobilizing, but it would not
be surprised to learn that such were
the facts. A highly placed British off,
cial said to-day:
"All Japan wants Is n free hand
against Russia. This she has got, so
far as England and Germany are coh-
cerned, and, l presume. so far NJ the
United States government Is con-
cerned, although l do not imagine for
one moment that any of the powers
mentioned would be drawn into fight
between Japan and Russia. If Japan
sees nothing for 1t but to fight, she
would have the moral support Of OBJ
Jections committed to paper by at least
two other powers against secret trea-
ties with China. That Is all: but Japan
seems to consider 1t sufficient to pro-
vide against interference"
Confirmation of the foregoing deflni-
tiOn OF the situation was afforded by
the secretary of the Japanese legation.
Yokohama, March 23.-The japanese
press, when discussing the Manchu-
rian convention, recognizes the difficult
ties of Germany's position, and admits
that whatever Japan does, she must
be prepared for war.

YOUNG ARMOUR TRIES
A SQUEEZE IN RIBS

Chicago, March 23.-Rumors We're
rife on the board of trade yesterday
that Armour interests We're engineer
ing n deal in May ribs that bids fair
to produce broader results than the
persistently reported squeeze" in
May pork. During the day the spec
ulative interest that has centered
about the market for hog products for
several days was diverted from pork
and fastened on the big deal in ribs
which Armour & Co. are credited with
having under way.
The Armour purchases of May ribs
during the day amounted to over
100000 pounds, which comes near
the limit for the supply in the city
available for delivery on May con-
tracts. Under their active buying and
covering by shorts the price advanced
22 cents over the quotations of the day
before, touching $7.97ia and closing at
$7.92h.
1t is said that there is little chance
of an increase in the stock supply.

OIL EXCITEMENT AT
EVANSTON WYOMING

Cheyenne, Wyo., March 23.-(Denver
Republican special. .)-Colonel Il. NJ.
Foote of Evanston to-day stated thar
the oil excitement near Evanston Is at
fever heat. over Cpl square miles of
oil land has been taken up during The
past few days, since the Union Pacific
struck u flow of oil while drilling for
water.
The larger tracts of land are held by
Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake parties,
although residents of Evanston and
the vicinity have not been slow to see
the advantage of securing oil land and
have filed on small tracts.
Colonel Foote states that the oil
from the well being driven by the rail-
road company Is n high-grade lubricat-
Ing article and Is valued at about 81
per barrel. The flow is continuous and
with little more boring, 1t is be-
lieved. the well will be gusher.
Experienced oil men are coming in
from all parts of the country, Lut
more especially from the California
and Pennsylvania fields. All pro-

cations are that southwestern Wyom-
Ing will soon have one OF the largest

WONDERFUL INCREASE IN
NATIONAL BANK ASSETS

New York, March pa special
from Washington to the Herald says:
The controller of the currency will
soon publish complete statement
from all national banks in the United
States. AS this is made in answer to
the first call for 1901, the results are
being awaited with much interest. The
time between December 18th and Feb
ruary 9Th, the date of the call>is said
in industrial circles to be n dull sea-
son. But figures already obtained
from abstracts reflect surprisingly
large gains as compared with the pre-
vious statement, which was record
breaker
The aggregate resources of the 1856
banks in New York state are 500, 15S,
$50, which is $226,6O1 less than the
amount recorded December 18th, but is
substantially greater than the figures
of the first statement in 1900, which
did not reach the $20O,OOO,OOO mark.
The new statement show the amount
of individual deposits of the Empire
state national banks, which Is consid-
cred the bankers barometer. to be
$123,955,7 ,773, n gain of $9.694, ,4S6. The
fourty-four national banks in New
York City have total resources and in
dividual deposits of S1.255, SAT SIT, and
$559, ,15O,657 respectively. which exceed
the preceding official figures by the
enormous sums of S4S4.267 197 and
$S2,649, 123 respectively. The total re-
sources of the national banks in the
state are 81 ,506, ,63S. .S55, while individ-
ual deposits amount to S7O2 705. .004. 1t

II am no longer young" said an

line of railway from New York to st.

In fact. work on one of the connecting
links will be begun within a year." The
line he referred to will extend from
Port Valdez on the sea to the Yukon
river at the mouth of the Tanana.
From this point another road is pro-
jected to Nome, and If that should be
built. a railway across the strait to
Siberia might become at least a posi-
biiity. If expanding trade should de-
mand such a road. neither the en-
