PENNSYLVANIA BANKERS.
They Listen to an Address by Former
Controller Dawes


PITTSBURG, Sept. 24.-The DEL : to
the ninth annual convention of e. enn-
sylvania Bankers Association were SLOW i'm
assembling for the final session to-day,
and it was nearly IL o'clock when the
meeting was called to order. After prayer
by the Rev. Daniel Dorchester, jr., d. D.,
William III. Smith, of Philadelphia. repre-
senting the banking department of Penn
sylvania, delivered an address on state
Supervision He was followed by ex-Con-
troller Charles G.. Dawes of Illinois, on
Proposed Changes in Our Banking Laws"
In concluding his address Mr.. Dawes de-
clared:
ANY fair asset currency plan should pro-
vide for pro rata lien of note holders on
the same plane as depositors as against the
assets OF an insolvent bank. No important
asset currency system in the world, except
that of the small banking system of Can
ada, provides for first lien for note hold
ers similar to that which is proposed in
such bill Fowier's for example. In
the report of his recent speech i'm Chicago
which / read, Secretary Shaw did not state
whether or not he favored a first lien for
the note holder under his plan as against
the deposition. The high rate of tax, how
ever, makes the first lien unnecessary for
the safety of the Shaw notes. The govern
ment should not guarantee the notes, nor
would such a guaranty be necessary. The
secretary has presented the only plan upon
which il is possible to unite support. 1t Is
a measure of great public Importance. If
coupled with some modification of the AL
drich bill, increasing the discretion of the
secretary in the matter of his ability to
aid the community by timely deposits i'm
the banks of governmental cash, 1t will be
very good solution of our present finan-
cial problems, and put the country I'm the
best possible shape for any financial dis
turbances which may be before u.s.
The election of officers resulted as fol-
lows President, d. NJ. Floyd; vice presi-
dent, W. III. Peck. Scranton; treasurer. ID.

of the association from all parts of the
country are present.
The association this afternoon took &C
ton in regard to the expenditure of the
$4,000 made by President w. II. Gray, OF
Syracuse. y. Y, and the executive COM
mittee last spring, for the purpose of in
ducing the independent glass manufactur-
ers TO close their factories until the bust
ness outlook became more favorable This
expenditure had resulted in much displeas-
ure, especially among the Western jobbers
and when ii was explained that the window
glass business would have been practically
demoralized If the money had not been ex-
pended. the association unanimously in
dorsed the action of the president and the
executive committee. After transacting
some important business the rest of the
afternoon was spent in a discussion OF
trade conditions. An effort was made TO
institute some movement which would en-
courage business. but no feasible plan was
suggested.
Secretary Holbrook, of New York, said
tonight that the window glass trade at
the present time was i'm very bad condi-
ton. The fall season is the jobbers' har-
vest time. but he declared that there is a
shortage of 100000 boxes in stock through
out the country and that the present avail
able stock soon would be exhausted.

BOARD OF TRADE LOSES.
Judge Shiras Reverscs Decision i'm

DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept. 24.-Judge Shiras
has written an opinion for the United States
Court of Appeals in the case Of the Christie
Grain and Stock Company ct al, appellant,
VS.. the Board of Trade of Chicago, appellee,
reversing the decision of the Federal Court
o. Missouri and remanding the case to that
court with instructions to dismiss the bill
at complainant's cost
The Chicago Board of Trade secured an
injunction in the lower court against the
Christie Company, retraining it from OBJ
tanning from the telegraph companies any
OF the quotations furnished by the Board
of Trade. alleging that the quotations were
private property and could not be furnished
except on contract. The testimony devel-
oped that So per cent. OF the transactions
of the board was gambling in margins; that
by admission of the board Ii was shown
that IL maintained bucket-shops.
On this evidence the Appellate Court holds
that the Board of Trade did not come into
court with clean hands. or for a lawful pur-
pose, and clearly IL not the duty of
a court of equity to grant any relief prayed
by It; that the transactions were in viola
ton of the statute of Illinois and therefore
unlawful.

thousand men. Within the past five weeks
1,5oo men have been laid off at the company 5

ASTONISHING CONDITION OF CITY Az

Vouchers Missing for sums Asgregnt-

Financial Office Affected.

ST. JOSEPH. Mich, Sept. 24.-The report
of the expert accountants who have been
working the books of the city under
the direction Of Mayor John v. Starr has
astonished the citizens of this city. The
period under investigation is from Jan. i,
1901. to March 81 last.
The report alleges that hundreds OF re-
ceipts or vouchers for warrants issued by
the city are missing, the total amounting
TO SD $50. Paid vouchers for nearly $1.50e
show no approval by the Council. and there
is no record for contracts for street work
aggregating thousands of dollars. Neither
is there verifcation of saloon licenses nor
of fees collected. Hundreds OF license
stubs are missing, as also are loo water
stubs Warrants paid by the city treasurer
that do not bear the Endorsement of the
mayor exceed 5000, and there appears to
be no record of special assessments.
The books OF the treasurer show no re-
mittances for several months, while dis
bursements for loan and interest on the
city debt have been made without the au-
thority of the Council.

AMERICAN FRUIT ABROAD.
Ii Is Almost the Sole Present supply
of the London Market.

LONDON, Sept. 2t-America is now reap
ing great benefit from the storms which
made the past summer one Of the worst on
record in Great Britain and the conti-
nent. Thanks to the ruined home crops,
California fruit is imported in larger guam
titles than ever before.
The sales last week i'm London marked
a record with $500 boxes of American
fruit. representing about $4,000 pounds in
weight The fruit was sold at a two days
auction in Covent Garden market, the
prices averaging Sd per cent. above what
has heretofore been obtained here. The
sales were chiefly of California pears and
plums, with n fair consignment of New
York State Bartlett pears. There is prac-
tically no English fruit obtainable, while
France, which usually exports large guam
titles of pears to England, is sending none.
The American section of Covent Garden
market is now almost the sole source of
supply and there are no signs of the de-
mand decreasing. American apples, which
hitherto could not be profitably shipped
hither till later in the year, now have a
brisk trade. FQrty-two thousand barrels of
Canadian apples are expected in London at
the end of this week and record prices are
assured.
