THEY NO LONGER FEAR US
Says European FInanelers Believe America Has Reached High Water Mark and Gives Export De-
 crease as an Example.

Wilmington. N. C.. October s1.-Hon. Frank A. vanderlip. vicetpresident of the National City bank of New York and assistant for the treasury department during President McKinleys first admin istration, was the guest of honor and principal speaker at an elaborate banquet here tonight, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce.
 After referring to some of the features of the remarkable period of commercial, financial and andustral development. MT. Yanderlip said:
 T am just back from another Euro pean trip and have. again met many eff the most distinguished European states men and finaneiers. The change that the past year has made in their point of view Is extremely interesting They are no longer fascinated. by our progression. Instead of that. found a belief that we have for the present marked the high water point of our overflow of exports irto the European industrial field. And instead of credulous belief in the unlim- tied possibilities of our development, which seemed to be the average state of mind a year ago. there is to say feeling of grave conservatism and anxious in- terest in our future

Increase of Exports.

'.They note that the rapid increase of our exports came to a halt two years ago. They note that our imports in the last two years have been rapidly rising, the record for the fiscal year just closed being more than s9OO,OO0,OOO against lit- tie over $500, ,000 900 in 1898. They note, too. that in spite of-tremendous balances of trade which government reports show ed in our favor, we do not seem to have any unusual command upon International credits, but we are, as matter of fact, a considerably debtor in the worlds ex- change and that now in the midst of ex- traordinary bountiful harvests, and at the season when a movement of gold in this direction might normally be expect ed, we are concerned lest a high rate of sterling shall lead to gold exports.
 "If we are honest with ourselves we must admit that the edge is off our in vasion of foreign markets. Our totals are still collosal but the rate of increase which they were making, has been check cd and decreases have been recorded. Our exports of manufactures for the fiscal year just closed are -$S0, 100000 less than the point they reached two years ago. Our total exports of domestic merchandise fell off more than $100 000,000 in the year Instead of decreasing imports, we have made some large increases in our. pur- chases of foreign goods and the total for this year stands more than $500 000,- 900 above 1899.

Expansion of $500, ,ooo, ,ooo.

w e nave naQ an expansion OI 9l,5UU,UOUf- 900 in national bank deposits since the beginning of 1899, while the basis of gold and legal tenders upon which that in- verted pyramid stands, Is actually slight ly smaller than it was at the beginning of the period. Now, in that same time. the deposits of other banks--state banks, trust companies, savings banks and priv ate banks-have probably increased not far from $3, 000, ,000, 900 and there Is little Likelihood that their gold and legal ten der reserve is materially larger than, If 1t Is as large. as at the beginning of 1899. We have had then, in less than four years, an increase in the total bank de- posits of the country of over $4,000, 900, 900 accompanied by no increase in the specie and legal tender holding of those banks
 ''The principal reason for the expansion of deposits and the accompanying ex- pansion of loans, is to be found in the great movement which has been the sig nificant feature in financial affairs of the last half dozen years-the move ment to aggregate industrial establish ments into single great corporate units, and to covert the evidence of ownership into corporate securities, which have en- tered actively into the stream of financial operation. Another important contributing influence has been the vast expenditures of experimentation particularly ACi ttiC AAhPAONOAhNht VI tiANAA PAOPCA eAC5.
 Liquid Capital.
 Tt must be admit ed, believe, that we have been conserving too great an amount of liquid capital into fixed forms of investment. The cure Is. of course, to reduce the expenditure of that character, so that they will come within the line of safety. What is the line of safety? It seems to me something well within the total income from such Investments.
 another phase of this situation. and one which has aggrevated the causes leading to an expansion Of loans and which has cut off from us the relief which we hope for in the way of foreign trade balance made tangible increased exports, has been the rapidity and ex- tent of the advance in prices. The whole general level of prices has advanced and some of these advances from the ex- treme low level of 1897 or 1898 to high level which has been reached within the last two years. are the sharpest in our commercial history.
 q wish by no means to present an alarming view of the outlook. What I do wish to do is merely to sound a con- servative note of warning. I believe there are in the situation tendencies in which are clements of possible danger. On the other hand, I by no means for get the long list of favorable conditions upon the opposite side of the account. We have numerous advantages over the competitors and in the end the com bined effect of these advantages is ab- solutely. certain to place us foremost in the worlds commercial ranks. A judi cious recognitionsof the restricting condi- tions now visible in our financial situation may save us from disaster and humilia- ton later on-a humiliation from which recovery will be slow and painful"

A Prospector's Steam T'hawer.

Something new in the line of thaw ing machines. which has for it's main features lightness, high horse power, economy in fuel and perfect water cir culation, is on exhibition by the makers, Walker X Barlow, on the sandspit. The thawer is combination porcupine and pipe boiler, stands about , feet high and i. 3 feet in diameter, weighing about 350 pounds. Every thing is made with view to light weight, coupled with durability. being between } and 4-horse power, and hav- ing 5 steam pontG. As fuel is ap inn portant factor with mining in this country, this boiler is fitted up with the fire box enclosed by water-circulating pipes, whereby all the heat furnished by the fire is used. The casing. which in most boilers is subject to burning out, is doublv protectt d with abastos and capable of withstanding any amount of heat. The boiler and jacket are detachable, so that one man can easily handle them and transport them to almost any part of the country. For. a prOspectOr this ~machiue fills the bill. It is now on exhibition at the shops, andeall points covering the same. as well as the price, can be had on application. A full and complete line of gasoline engines on hand; every engine guaranteed.

 In tgnswer to questions tending to show the effect of the community of interests plan on rates. the veteran railroader declared that competition does not lower rates, but on the con trary he believed that it advanced them. He declared that in the North west, where for 20 years the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern have been at peace, where ore road was agreed with the other on rates and maintained the. agreements, the rates were lower than in any other part of the country.

Manila, Jan. 26.-The American chamber of commerce has formulated an appeal to congress praying for the enactment of laws allowing Chinamen to enter the Philippines under restric- tions. The present restrictive law Is said to be of TO benefit to the Flipinos, as Chinamen, if admitted, would not enter into competition with local labor and their entry into the island is imperatively needed, as the tobacco, hemp and sugar lands of the archipel- ago are only partially cpltiyated.
