seems to have been an effort in their

vision notions, but they couldn't
agree. They took up the Porto

J. J. Hiu, In a recent article, thus gives
the consolidation financiers idea of con-
solidations:
The feeling existing against consolida-
tions is undoubtedly general. but investi-
cation viii prove that il is almost iuVari-
ably unreasonable. There are a few men
that is. comparatively feW-in the COM
mUnity who can advance good reasons for
their opposition. They are the ones who
have been caught between the upper and
the neither millstones; they are the mid
dlemen. and the small competitor who
was unable 70 meet the larger concern in
the open market. To them consolidation
has beer a distinct injury. This is ap-
parent, and under our social and bust
ness system, inevitable. The aim in bust
ness. as in politics, is to do the greatest
good TO the greatest number; and the
greatest numbeT-sO far as We can now
see-is apparently benefited by the con-
solicitations. We are as yet only on the
threshold OF the new era IN the business
world, ana no one can say positively that
the present order OF things is and will be
for the best. That is still TO be proven.
and il can be proven only by time All
we can say is that. SO far as we have
gone, the results are certainly favorable.

The statement was in some respects
not all that could be desired The de-
crease in loans was the single item which
was worthy of note. This reduction was
caused entirely by the liquidation of
speculative loans, which Were forced by
the stock panic of last week The de-
crease in the reserve required, which was
occasiOned by the smaller deposits,
caused the increase in the surplus re-
serve of S5,l72, $50. which was the net re-
a gain which had been expected there
was an actual loss of money. This dis
crepancy is not easily explained. except
that the large receipts of cash from the
