Detroit Savings Bank Closed.

Detroit, Feb. 1.-THE City Savings
bank did not open for business Monday
morning. The following notice was posted
on the door:
"This bank is in the hands of George
l. Maltz, banking commissioner"
Asked for the reason for suspension, Mr..
Maltz said:
"Frank c. Andrews, vice president of
the bank and commissioner of police, is
the reason. The bank had total deposits
of something over $4,000 900. and Andrews
had more than third of this money on.
on certified checks and overdrafts. Hem
ry r. Andrews, cashier of the bank, ad-
vanced this money to Frank C. Andrews
without the knowledge of the directors.
They are entirely blameless in this mat
ter. When l learned of the banks condi-
ton I closed it,"

He would also have q wider margin
given In the matter OF cutting timber.
There is magnificent timber through
out the islands and it would be bene-
fetal to take much Of 1t out. The
quantity which can be taken out now
by one concern Is limited to 100000
cubic feet He suggested that there
had been some public sensittveness
on this point because Of the interests

pany. In reply to Senator Culbertson.
Governor Taft said that he would not
advocate grants Of land that can be-
used for speculative purposes. but felt
that it would be necessary to allow
persons to acquire large bodies of
land in order to secure the develop
ment Of the country. The conditions
there are, he said, entirely different

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet's report on

Trade developments last week were
largely favorable. All the channels OF
legitimate trade point to January

Failures. it is true, were large in mum.
Der, but the increase Is about all in the
south. from which trade reports have
been poor, but show slightly more
hopeful trend since cotton has taken
Its move upward. The general level of
prices moved slightly downward dur
ing January, owing to lower prices of
speculatively dealt-in cereals and hog
products. in heavy decrease in crude
rubber and some chemicals. Most OF
the decline in food products has been
recovered since February l. The close
of the week finds a confident feeling
prevailing in nearly all lines of dis
tributive trade.
There Is q virtual famine alike Of
crude pig iron and finished products Of
steel. Premiums of so cents per ton on
pig iron are paid east and west. and a
southern railway has gone abroad for
its steel rails. Canadian steel bills
are reaching Pittsburg, and brick i'm
porting movement Ia looked for. Crude
rubber. after its excited fall and no
less exciting rise, has steadied at
slight advances ON last week. Tin and
lead are also higher.
The worlds statistics of wheat move
ment have been on the whole rather
bullish this week, and coupled with
cold weather caused some strengthen.
ing. The volume Of business has been
of a scalping character. Toward the
close OF the week some export inquiry
developed in wheat. The margin in
favor Of the cash article mas widened
during the past six weeks and the
actual stun Is really higher than a
month ago.
