Review OF the Wool Market.

Of the trade:

"The year 1900 will pass into his.
tory as m of the quietcst and least
satisfactory periods ever experienced
In the wool trade. Depression has
characterized the situation both
abroad and at home.
"Afeatureo Of the business oftheyear
has been the increased substitution
Of cotton for wool and n preference
for the medium Or lower grades of
wool as distinguished from the fine
grades. Az ia the business Of the
past week, 1t has presented but few
features OF interest calling for special
mention. a hopeful feeling prevails
that nm improved demand will set In

urally strengthened by the continued

HEAVY BANK LOSS.
Embezzlement of sec, 900 by Cashier
D. n. Lewis of Farmers
National Rant NarrennpS


Last Saturday the comptroller OF the
currency appointed j. I. Sullivan a
temporary receiver for the Farmers
National Bank of Vergennes.
Bank Examiner Frank l.. Fish
during an examination of the bank on
April 3 found a shortage in the cash,
and a further investigation. conducted
all last week by Special Examiner
John b. Cunningham, indicates a
total enlightenment by the cashier,
d. ii. Lewis. of 100000.
After the discovery of the defalcation
the examiner secured the return of
S25, 900 TO the bank by Lewis.
Until a more complete investigation
into the acts of the cashier is made 1t
is impossible to state what loss, if any,
will accrue to the depositors, but it is
not believed the loss to them will be
large.
How it has been possible for a man
in such small bank, guarded by its
directors and the national bank
examiners, to secure such an enormous
sum is a question unanswered and
none OF the bank or government
officials will speak upon the subject.
Conversation since the closing Of the
bank discloses the fact that among the
banking fraternity the crisis is not a
matter of surprise, as some of the
leading banking men had called the
attention of the proper officials TO the
institutions condition and the need Of
an investigation some time ago. Too
implicit confidence in one man and
allowing him practically the entire
management of the banks affairs is
given by financial authorities as a
contributing cause to the banks
failure.
The bank had a capital stock of
100000, and the last report showed
that it had deposits subject to check Of
about 1900, and time deposits for
about the same amount Ii is thought
that not only viii the entire stock be
wiped out but that in addition the
stockholders will be heavily assessed.
The bank was organized in 1880,
with Col Walter Scranton OF East
Orange, n. j., now at the head
OF the Laekawanna Steel and
Iron company, as president The
present officers of the bank are
President, Col. n. +. Dunshee of
Bristol; vice president, Lieut.. Gov.
NJ + Allen OF FerIisburg; directors,
NJ. II Dunshee, Col. Walter Scranton,
ID. II. Lewis, II. W. Leroy of New
York, and II. W. Tracy of Shelburue.
d. II. Lewis, the defaulting cashier,
was arrested by L. S. Marshal Field
Monday. He waived examination and
was placed under $4,000 bonds to
await trial at the MAY term of L. 5.
District court held at Windsor. These
were furnished and Lewis was released.
A latter statement gives the total
embezzlement at $685. 900, covering a
long term of years. Each year Lewis
had covered up a small embezzlement,
by method OF his own. His bank
salary was $500, and he received
800 from another Office he held.

Many good people heaved a sigh of
deep satisfaction when it was an
nounced that Gov. Stickney had
named board of "heavyweights' for
the railroad commission. Now
they said, 1--WE shall have board that

has come, The board has grayely sat
on several cases, crushing them out of
all semblance, and generally holding,
after mature deliberation, that it had
no jurisdiction in the premises. In
fact, it has hardly reached the plane
of its less austere predecessors, which
made several valuable recommends
