The February Figures.

Throughout February the weekly bank
statements were closely in line with
those Of the same period last year, 1t
will be interesting TO observe whether
the comparison will continue throughout
the present month.
Last year the banks in the first week
of March showed a small increase in
their loan account but during the re-
mainder of the month there was a re
duction in loans of about $4,000, 600
weekly.
Money on call then ranged from . to
2jA per cent during the first half of the
month, and between 2Ia and per cent
during the remainder.

noted in Westinghouse Electric. The

All the other lines traversing the same
general country have reported exceeding
ly heavy increased outlays for operating
expenses in the same month. The Sc
curities Of this company are not very
generally distributed and, in fact. the
only market for them at the moment is

well ask why the management Of this
concern pretends TO operate it under con-
ditions which no corresponding lines are

TEoUBLE fN RUSSIA.

Lots of trouble in Russia. A Vienna
 newspaper publishes an account of the
 industrial crisis in Russia, and declares
 that it is steadily assuming larger di-
 mensions. For long time it was con-
 fined to the metal industry, but now 1t
 extends to other branches and especial
 ly to the textile industry. On all sides,
 it says, there are complaints of bad
 business, and speedy help is demanded of the government, as otherwise the l crisis promises to involve consequences
 which might prove disastrous to the
 whole economic and financial situation of Russia. The majority of Russian
 manufacturers are firmly convinced
 that Russian industry is insufficiently protected and that the only remedy for present troubles lies in an increase of the import duties. There is. however, says the reporter, no probability that system of moderate protectionisn
 which it regards as necessary for the development of the national activity and which it is endeavoring to intro duce in all the treaties it concludes. The optimism of the government with regard to an eventual improvement in the situation is not shared in interested circles, where the conviction prevails that the pending crisis will not prove to be temporary affair but that it is connected with the general economic situation, and that it will become in- creasingly acute if no remedial meas ures are taken.
 How different all this is from the sit uation in our own favored country. Everything is all right here, with the | possible exception of a little reluctance | of the people to buy all the stocks and | bonds that are offered

 The story comes from Minneapolis that the Rev Louis Richter has been barred from the Presbyterian Ministers Association of that city because he is a paid agent of the Minneapolis Brewing company. He has been writing item perance tracts which have become widely known because inc views ex- pressed in them were different from those usually held by clergymen. He has admitted that he has been on the brewing company's pay roll for five years.
 Brother Richter has certainly been @ great sinner and his temperance views" have doubtless done much harm We haven't seen any of his tracts, and so we don't know just what he has said in them, but if he has said that is as encouraging to the liquor interest," as recent utterances by some great and good ministers in New York have been he has earned the bad money that has been paid him.

] of a lot of rich and growing territory in /, the States of Kent ucky and Tennessee. l The suggestion found acceptance, and 1 the city voted to bond itself for $10,000,- 1 900 to pay for the great work. The plan
 as decided upon embraced the construc- l ton of a line through Kentucky to Chattanooga, Tennessee, a distance of i 33S miles. The enterprise was given 1 into the charge of five trustees, Cincin- natians of the highest standing. whose | appointment was made by the superior | court. Then trouble began. The city
 needed the assent of the States to be invaded Tennessee gave hers i promptly, but it took three years to procure Kentucky's. Placing of the bonds. too, was found much less easy
 than anticipated. The enabling act re-
 quired that they be sold at par. They
 were to bear per cent. interest and to
 run thirty years, but such a venture on
 the part of a city was an untried one.
 and the capitalists showed little dispo-
 ston to warm up to it. But at last the
 money was arranged for and, with
 Kentucky's permission obtained, the
 work was pushed along. Then public
 opinion at home was shocked by the
 discovery that considerably larger
 sum than the original estimate called
 for would be required for the comple-
 tion of the undertaking Later figures
 indicated that $16, 1000, ,000, instead of $10,
 100000, would be essential. The citizens
 were in a quandary. The sum origi- nally asked had been furnished and ex- pended, They were bonded and bur dened seemingly for all they could stand. But it was necessary to provide the sum required or lose the entire in vestment, and so, by a more than two to one vote, they saddled themselves with $6,00O,0 900 more of indebtedness.
 Even then, however, it was soon found that the enterprise was not out of the woods. The second contribution fell short Of a sutficiency, and the dis fact stared Cincinnati tax | payers in the face that at least &, 000, 900 | more would have to be forthcoming he- fore the enterprise could be put in such a state of completion that some respon- sible railroad company could be pre- vailed upon to lease and operate the road. The taxpayers finally put up the money with which to finish the work. Nearly ten years elapsed between the and the end. The undertak- ng had proved nearly twice as costly as | was supposed it would at the start md Cincinnatfs outlay now represents Il principal and interest about 30,000,- 100. But it owns a railroad.

A nARGu DhAE, ON TIM SUPPLY.

T LARG t DRAFT ON 1HE SUPPLY
 It is the fashion to boast of the
 great mineral output of the United
 States, and it is big enough to boast of, 1 except for the thought that the bigger
 it is the more it draws on a fixed sup ply. But last year was certainly q great
 year for getting things out of the
 ground in this country. In gold, in sil-
 vcr in iron in steel in copper in coal
 and in mineral oil the products of the United States in 1901 exceed those of any country, and in every instance, ex- cept possibly copper, surpass her own record in any preceding year. The es- inmates put the gold production of 1901 at sS0,21S,300 against $79,171 ,000 in 1900,
 which was the highest record in gold
 production that the United States had
 ever made. They put the silver pro- duction of 1901 at 59,6537SS ounces, against 57,647000 ounces in 1900. The pig iron production is estimated at 15, SOC 900 long tons, against 13,7S9,242 long tons in 1900, in which year the figures exceeded those of any preceding year. The coal production is estimated at 267 $50 GOO long tons, against 24O, ,917 long tons in 1900, the year of highest production heretofore. Of petroleum the produce ton is estimated at 66 0o0, GOO barrels. or 2,772,000, ,000 gallons against 2,66t, ,233, ,56S gallons in 1900. the year of largest pro- ductiou heretofore. Of copper the pro- duction is estimated at 595 ,000,00O pounds, or 265, 625 long tons, or about 5000 tons below the figures of 1900, cop per thus being the only item in the en- tire list which shows for 1901 a smaller figure Of production than that of last year.
 This is indeed big record, and fortu- nately there is much more where all that came from. And when it is all gone perhaps the United States will still be habitable.
