A dozen good reasons why you
should keep an account with
this bank;
NUMBER -FOUR: When none
tary conditions are disturbed, as al
the present time, it behoOves banks to
be at their strongest. IN its last re-
port the International Banking Cor
poration shows cash in hand equal to
FORTY-ONE PER CENT of It's
total deposits, or SIXTEEN PER
CENT above the legal maximum re
quired by our National Banks. In ac-
tual cash and assets Immediately con-
vertible into cash, this bank has
EIGHTY-FOUR PER CENT of It's
deposits-a very strong and remarka-
bic showing.

gains or losses In cash by the New York
banks that will be shown in the weekly
bank statement ere often misleading
owing to the well understood eccentric
ity OF the workings of the average
system" upon which the statement is
prepared. estimates OF conditions will
show that the banks have lost this
week over 100000. Speculative sentI.
ment has become impressed by the con.
sideration that a good share OF this
loss is due to a months delayed move
ment Of funds to the interior of the
country for crop moving purposes, and
that such movement is likely TO grow
larger rather than less.
The classified foreign trade report cor
September makes some interesting com
parsons. The decrease of imports wa
chiefly composed Of animals and food. -
mostly sugar. Activity of manufactures
is indicated both in the increase OF
crude materials by 81, 27s. s12. and the de-
crease OF partly manufactured" by
So. 963, 273. The changing current is well
shown In the decrease of imports Of
luxuries by s444.45l. against an increase
for the nine months of IS. csc. 55s. Ths
import of pig iron was over a million
less than in the previous September
and the total decrease OF iron and steel
products was over two millions The
decrease Of agricultural exports was
larger than the total decrease OF ax-
ports there being an increase Of exports
OF several classes. the largest being
81. AZ, 1863 for manufactures. This is more
than million over the increase for nine
months, indicating that some los;
ground is being regained.
The situation is now such as wal
apparent when the opinion was held
that imports OF gold were not TO be
expected this season. Since then mones
rates have risen. foreign money rates
have relaxed relatively. and foreign
ers are taking commodities. especially
cotton. at rate which makes il pos.
sible to exact payment according to op-
ton. This country does not have to
have gold. but foreign countries must
have cotton and other Yankee notions
hence the situation is in our control. and
the moral effect Is much the same
whether gold Is taken or what we pre-
fer to gold at the respective prices.

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

Expectation of a further advance in
call money rate. additional shipments Of
currency to the interior and the pros
pect of an unfavorable bank statement
had a rather bearish effect on the mar
ket This feeliag was increased by the
action of the Pennsylvania Railroad in
bringing out new bond issue at the
present time.
Material weakness is not likely to de-
velop as a result of the present con-
ditions surrounding the market. Short
interest is steadily increasing on the
part of professional operators. The
market is also well sold out, and conf
dence is not so disturbed as in the early
part of the past month.
The trouble with the market is not
the presence of sellers. but the absence
of buyers The position of stock has
not changed materially in the week. and
the person who felt confidence in the
outlook has no reason for altering his
opinion now However, IL the bank
statement turns out as expected, and is
followed by stiff money rate. there
will be some figuring on buying gold
from the Bank Of England.
1t is wholly probable that the st.
Louis banks, as well as those of other
cities which have recently suffered a
financial strain, will feel like keeping
themselves extremely strong during the
rest of the year. 1t cannot be expected.
therefore. that sums OF money sent
from New York to re-enforce bank re-
serves in those places viii speedily re-
turn.
Fortunately the stock market is not
in the midst of n bull boom. apd higher
rates for loans should not cause espe-
cial disturbance in securities. The stu
alton will be well taken care of as Ii
has been in the past. and there Is.
therefore, no reasons for uneasiness-

The lightning this morning
struck the Street railway cable, ran
into the generator In the electric
light plant and burned" the wires
out so the street cars had to lay of
until repairs can be made. TIE
electric light people think they
will have everything In running
order some time this afternoon or
earlier. This Is one Of the acct-
dents that may happen any time,
either Ia old or new railroads. The
damage Is not serious and the de-
lay viii! only be for few hours.
One of the cars also"burned out"
last night while on Its way south.
The car was above Owl Hollow
when the accident happened. The
second car came along In a few
minutes and coupled on to the dis
abled car and brought 1t down to
the city. Many people had to re-
turn home on account of the one
car being unable to carry all the
passengers that were ready to take
a ride. AS 1t was the company did
a very satisfactory business all day.
There were two good sized pic
mic parties at the park yesterday.
One of the parties that went up al
IS o'clock. after feasting on the
good things the ladies had pre-
pared. telephoned for Bells orches-
ira which went up and furnished
music for the picnickers to trip the
Hight fantastic toe for few hours
The young people had pleasant
time and all want to 20 again. The
park Is ample large to accommo- :
date dozen or more good sized
picnic parties and each party can be
seperate from the others. Many
more swings have been placed In
the park and twenty FIVE more will
be placed In the park today.
{. L. ellis, with his usual enter
prise has opened a refreshment
stand at the park and serves all
kinds of refreshments during the
day and evening.

be run on a different schedule. A
"turn out" Is being laid below Pole
Cat hollow and this will enable the
company to have a car leave here
every half hour instead of every
hour as heretofore. The cars will
be able to pass at the "turn out"
and tliis will obviate the necessity
of running the two cars so near to
gether and stop the hour waits
between cars.
Next week the line across the B.
& o. railroad track on Wells street
will be laid. Yesterday superin-
tendent Bryan. of the B. & o spent
the day In consultation with Presi-
dent Watkins and Manager Miller
and has arranged to put In the
crossing and to build fine depot
and switch at Paden City. Already
the railroad company has force of
men at work grading for the new
depot at Paden City. The improve.
ments the B. & o. are making ct
the new city will cost about $4,000
S c. Sybert has been appointed
collector of the street car fares. He
settles with the conductors and
takes charge of the cash received.
The farmers living In the country
back of Owl Hollow, Pole Cat run,
Wittens and Stewart and along the
route are catching on to the street

Ing to this city on the street car
line to do their shopping. The fare
from these points Is only FIVE cents
and the company Is going to have a
big traffic from the country Sec
tions along the route on both sides
of the river. Naturally, this very
materially adds to the business Of
all Of our merchants. One firm
informed us this morning that on
Saturday evening, by actual count,
the street cars brought thirty FIVE
customers to this place of business
and this Is not even a beginning Of
what the cars will do fer our mer-
chants here and business men Of
every kind.
We believe that every man,
woman and child In the city Is more
than satisfied with the street cars
so far and time will make them
even more delighted with this line.
I: means increased business here In
every line. a solid, progressive and
booming city. What Is best of 1t
all the boom Is a solid one. Now
Is the time 10 move here, build,
