There is strong probability OF an extra.
session of Congress being called about
october This statement is made upon
the authority OF a Republican Senator
who goes to the White House every day,
The Senator referred to said that While
the Presidents mind was not made up,
there was good reason to believe he
would order an extra session. It Is
known that no man IN the Republican
marty was SO desirous OF having the
Cuban treaty ratified as was the Presl-
dent. He called the extra session as

cation Of the reciprocity treaty With

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 1.zStocis recovered
vigorously again, today, the last prices
showing advances of ? to points for the
principal active stocks. The dealings
were highly professional and the move
mcnt was not free from suspicion of ma
nipulation. But the effect seemed to be,
for some reason more cheering upon SEN
timent than the rather forcble lifting of
some buying for support in todayS market
also, but the great banking interests We're
not so conspicuous in the dealings. On
the other hand an oVer-extended short
interest was ii very important factor in
lifting prices The opening dip in Penn

tributed to beariSh manipulation. Louis

OF an account and pressure upon that
stock reappeared from time to time dur
ing the day. A notable feature of the
day was the violent break of about 50
points in demand sterling here under the
pressure of very large offerings of com
mercial bills and dearth of demand. Large
wheat clearanceS We're reported Tor the
day and completion of the cotton corner
led to considerable commission house
buying in that market. The establishment
OF normal conditions in the cotton mar
ket is expected to have very important
results in the outward movement of that
staple and this led to very free offer
ings of cotton bills in the Exchange mar
ket. The early demand for stocks was
especially notable amongst the Coalers.

the United States conversion syndicate
and limitations that the majority Of sub
scribers had accepted the extension of
the syndicate, aroused a hope that the
recent severe pressure of the syndicate
would now be relaxed. The offerings of
specifications by the Pennsylvania com
pany for work on its terminal project
had an effect on the United States Steel
stocks. as this work involves a large re-
quirement for steel products. Natural
relief was felt that the preparation for
the October dividend and interest dis
bursements have been completed. while
the government redemptions and revenue
deposit operations are yielding handsome
returns to the money market promising
continued exemption from stringency.

What is the Matter?
(Biddeford Record).

| What is the matter with Maine?
| In 40 years, from 1860 to 1900 Names
population has increased $4,000. But
one state in the Union has made SO
small an increase in the same period
and that is Vermont. While Maine has
| in four decades added Sc, 600 to her pop
| ulation, the mother state, Massachu-
sets, has increased her population
1,191,000. Little Rhode Island has in
| creased her population 253,000 in that
time. While Maine has in 40 years
gained but less than eleven per cent,
Connecticut and Massachusetts have
doubled their population and little
Rhode Island tripled hers. while the
gain of the neighborng state of New
Hampshire has been proportionately
more than double the gain of Maine.
What has been the matter with
Maine in the last 40 years that it has
but little more than held its own?
It's vast resources of granite and
lumber have not been materially en-
croached upon. Its fisheries have de-
veloped. Its canning industries have
grown to great Importance. Its ice
harvest is waited for by the country.
Railroads have been built. In manu-
featuring it has much better than held
its own and water powers, unnumbered
still run to waste. Inducements to fur

in Massachusetts, Connecticut or Rhode
Island would have been speedily seized

summer resorts, the cunning and fish
ing becoming of the Importance that
they have, with fisheries, numbering, ice
business, canning, pulp mills, railroads,
manufacturing and all that has been
developed in 40 years, with natural re-
sources and advantages surprising al
most any other state in the Union, with
Maine brains at a premium throughout
the country and Maine ingenuity ia
nous, in these 40 years the State has
made by far the smallest gain in popu-
lation of any state in all the Union with
the single exception of Vermont.
What is the matter with Maine?
Isn't it a question worthy the con-
sideration of the State Board of Trade
or any organization or body which has

Uncle Sans Supply Of Gold.

In a speech at the recent meeting Oh
the Maryland and District of Columbia
Bankers Association. Ellis b. ROBERTS,
the treasurer Of the United States gave
some interesting figures relative TO thls
country's supply of gold. There Is no"
$685., O00, 900 in gold in the United States
treasury-much more'than ever was
there before. The Bank OF England
has in its vaults but Size, 6,ooo IN goid.
The Imperial German bank has sl1O,-
al ono the Austro- Hungarian bank
1921 4O4 600. and the Bank of France
1894. SOC 900. The amount of gold In our
treasury lacks but sS,OOO,o0O of equaling
that in the Bank of England and that in
the Bank of France together. But
even these figures do not adequately in
dictate what a large share of the worlds
stock of gold our country has sue
ceeded in getting. The Bank of Eng
land, the Imperial German bank, the
Austro- Hungarian bank and the Bank
of France hold the entire gold reserve
upon which the currency systems of
their several countries are established
in those countries. On the other hand,
our banks, national and otherwise, have
reserves of gold aggregating 1922, 4OS,-
571-almost as much as the reserves
Of the Bank of England and the Aus
tro-Hungarian bank together. Fur
thermore, the supply of gold in the
United States treasury has increased at
the rate of sS0,O0O,OO per year since
1898, ana is still growing, while the gold
reserves of most European countries
have been and are being more or less
rapidly diminished.
A few years ago the secretary of the
treasury of the United States was SELL
ing bonds to European syndicates to
keep our treasury's gold reserve up to
the 500, 900 mark. What has enabled
us to accumulate such an immense
ototh VI Ills Hleldl SlliCe NIiel. MI.
Roberts says that the fact may be
partly accounted for by the increase in
our home production and the immense
receipts from Alsaka and the Klondike.
But this is not the whole explanation.
Gold is the money of international
commerce. 1t goes where goods are to
be bought advantageously and the best
investments and highest rate of inter-
est are to be secured. If America had
been buying heavily abroad, or Ameri-
man money had been going abroad in
search of investment, we would have
been able to keep only part, and per-
haps d small part, of the gold that came
down from Alaska and the klondike.
It happened, however, that a large por-
ton of the people of the world were
coming here to buy foodstuffs and
manufactured goods, and invest their
capital, while very little American
money was going abroad for any pur-
poses. The consequence is, that we
have kept almost all the gold we have
produced, and almost all that has come
to us from the North, and have at the
same time drawn Oh the reserves Of
Europe.
