William II. McHenry for 800, the value
Of horse purchased at auction by the
plaintiff from the defendant, which died
few days later. had another hearing
before Justice Of the Peace H. 2. Paine
today. About twenty witnesses have
been summoned to testify, including two
experts on horses. DIT. Hill is suing for
the amount he paid for the horse So
far the evidence adduced tends TO show
that the horse was diseased when sold
to DR.. Hill, in spite Of the fact that Nc

News continues to come from Phila-
delphia of the large accumulation Of
subscriptions there to the Pennsylvania
Railroads new stock issue. Ninety per
cent of the stockholders subscribing are
taking all the stock they are entitled
to. It is clear that only trivial amount
of new shares, If any. will fall into the
hands of the syndicate underwriters.
Banking sentiment is described by one
who has recently made the rounds of
his bankers to be very comfortable
That means something else than bull
ish. The tremendous scaling down OF
Wall Streets foreign Indebtedness and
stock market liquidation so thorough as
to have left commission houses prac-
tIcally bare of stocks are the reasons
why banking sentiment is comfortable;
at least. those are the reasons assign
ed by the bankers in their conversations
with brokers. Commission business gets
worse and worse. Houses that came into
existence during the bull market say
they are carrying fewer stocks than was
ever the case before. Older houses, of
course, have seen leaner times than the
present. The wire houses that do grain
business have less cause to complain
than their neighbors who do exclusively
stock business. but even they feel the
depression, active as grain speculation
has been, because for the broker there
is more money in stocks than in grain
The statistics OF the condition OF the
national banks in the country upon June
O. under the call OF the Comptroller of
the Currency, indicate. as they are frag-
mentariIy published, that the cash held
by the banks in proportion to their liza
bilities Is greater than II was on April
g. when the last call was issued. and is
greater than II was in June last year
The increase OF reserve thus held, how
ever, is not large.
The promotion business is in a poor
way. Those who have had the temerity
recently to seek banking facilities for
new schemes report a very general re-
luctance on the part of financial inter
ests TO consider promotions on any
terms.

poration may be announced at any time.
II this is fact, It should be worth 70
10 points to the steel stocks and cause

Wall Street is still bearish, more on
account of lack of business than any
thing else. 1t is becoming more appar

to break out anew.
The subtreasury statement shows the

Current developments respecting the
affairs of certain industrial companies
have had disquieting influence on
Wall Street sentiment, and the weak
ness shown in the position of certain
concerns has created in some minds al:
impression that there is something rad
ically wrong with the greater number
of Industrial combinations. This con-
clusion. however, is not warranted by
the facts. The percentage of financial
mortality among Industrial organiza-
tions has been small IN the last few
years, especially among the companies
that represent the recent consultations,
and failures resulting directly from con-
solidation have been of an insignificant
total. Bad management and faulty
methods in organizing have been respon-
sible for a collapse in several Industrial
companies. but the troubles of these
combinations should not be taken as n
basis for eondemning the whole indus
trial list. There are many good reasons

How much depends on the way one
looks at things! Doubtless very few of
contrasting Two us would consider
the window wash
er's occupation
very desirable one. Yet the window
washer regards it differently. as is in
dicated by this story told by the Chi
cago Tribune: Two window washers
were at work on the lodges of the six
teenth story windows of a downtown
Office building about ten feet from each
other. AS they hung to their straps and
washed and polished the glass they
could look into the offices, where num-
Der of clerks were bending over ledgers
and books. For half hour they worked
ard watched the clerks, who did not
move from their confined position over
their books. Finally one big window
washer leaned back as far his strap
would permit and called to his fellow.
Pointing in toward the clerks he shout
ed: Amt it strange what some folks
will do for living?"
