AS Hustle Get there" Shake leg, in Ian
guage unrefned.
We're working something all the time, no mat
ter what dc.
But watch the other fellow, for-he may be
working you
For instance. there business schemes in
which you would invest,
Your friend decides TO let you in because he
loves you best.
He doesn't want to make cent-perhaps it may
be true:
But keep your eye upon your friend-he may be
working you
Now you. of course. would not abuse the friend
ship of a man.
But when you see dollar you seize # If you
You would not work a friend-Oh. no-for
friends very few:
But look out for your warraest friend-he may
be working you
You have friend in business, who would sell
you goods at cost.
He does so just TO please you, no matter what
he's lost.
He bows and scrapes and thanks you, Just
other people do.
But never for moment would he think Of work

The moral of the thing is this-We've all an axe

Wait until your turn comes around-you may
be left behind.
Just take your chances at the wheel as all OF
must do.
And work the other fellow while-he thinks he's

THE NEw-AMsTERDAM NATIONAL BANK.

The NewAmsterdam National Bank occupies
commodious banking premises in the Metropolitan
opera House Building. Broadway and Thirty
nlnth-st., New-Iork City. Originally incorporated
as State institution in May. 1897. the bank was
opened for business in October of that year Con-
siderable public interest in financial circles was
occasioned at the time Of this banks establish
ment in n, view of the distinctly notable character
OF its directorate. which contained many of the
most prominent fnanciers of the day, among
whom may be mentioned Thomas c. Aston, the first
president; Samuel D. Babcock, Robert Goelet,
George Jones, Jesse Seligman, Frederick D. Tap
and Jacob D Nermilye.
The business of the new bank rapidly increased
so that in April. 1901 II deemed advisable to
broaden its character and the necessary steps were
thereupon taken to have it reincorporated as a
national bank. which was eventually accomplished
in the same month and year. The present officers
OF the New Amsterdam National Bank are: r. r.
Moore. president; c. ". Morse, vice-president: G.
J. Baumann. cashier and j. G.. Henerfch assistant
cashier. The directorate consists of C r. Barney

BROKERS OPTIMISTIC.
Henry Ce1rs Looks For1card to a
Prosperous Year.

In the financial world the last year has been
an extremely favorable one. Bankers and bro
kers have expressed extreme satisfaction in the
conditions that have existed, and their faith in
future prosperity. Henry Clews gave the follow
ing opinion of the situation:
we are going into the new year under very
favorable auspices. The stringent condition Of
the money market is the only drawback that
can see. and that ought TO be relieved soon after
January l by the return of money that has
been in use for moving the crops in the West
and South The phenomenal corn crop and the
activity in the iron and steel business can be
depended upon to give the country prosperous
new year.
We go into the year after a slow and
gradual panic in the stock market that has
covered the last ninety DAYS. This made a re-
cession in Stock Exchange values amounting to
S7ooOOO0o0. If the depreciation had taken
place in few days it would have caused almost
as severe panic we ever had Coming
gradually. the people met 1t without serious dis
asters to institutions and firms. 1t can there
fore be said that have had our panic and
1 don't see how we have another one soon.
Everything is down to a conservative basis
The heightened and severe liquidation which has
taken place without bringing serious disaster is
remarkable proof Of the soundness of the coun-
try's trade and industry outside Of Wall Street
where the OVERRIDING thus far has been chiefly
confined. The general business situation is GER
talnly prosperous and the country is vastly
richer to-day than il was before More
money is In circulation and there are more prod
ucts Of the soil The output of gold, iron COP
per, lead and other metals and minerals is
greater than ever before. Individual wealth is
greater and labor higher paid. This gives a
greater purchasing power than have ever
had The activity Of general trade the pros
perity OF the laboring classes; the sustained de-
mand for iron manufactures. showing new de-
Velopment and construction everywhere; the
prospect Of larger exports of corn and cotton
and the continued large gross earnings Of the
railroads, which will soon be sweled by ad-
Vanced traffic rates among the faVora Bile
conditions outside Of financial circles
With this impetus why shouldn't we have a
good year, No man can look ahead and meas
ure accurately the status of prosperous condi-
tons. excepting from crop year to the next
when crops are good times good and when
tney are bad conditions are reversed. The recent
setback. due to liquida tion cannot fail to have a
salutary effect, as il viii lessen extravaganza
ana wasteful expenditure and produce conserva-
usrn, which VIII make the financial and business
situation the sounder. While schemes will be
more difficult to float, sound. legitimate enter
prises Will be better off in consequence"
