Our Northern NeighbOr.
BY PHlNEAs FLETCHER.

way of demonstrating our good will to- ward Great Britain, there can be little doubt of It's existence, little doubt that the English speaking races are today more united and likely to remain so than they have ever been at any period in their history
 But, however, chilly the Canadian sen- timent as regards the United States may be. and whatever the motives that un- derlie 1t, every American re1oices at the magnificent industrial progress which the Dominion is now making along near ly every line of endeavor. The story of her development has no parallel any where else on earth, with the exception of our own case. Within the short pe- riod of seven years she has accomplished the unprecedented feat of doubling her foreign commerce. During the last five years her exports have run up to the very comfortable figures of s923, ,072, ,229, while her imports, in the same half de- cade, have been sSg5, ,395, 557. showing a credit balance in her favor of not far from twenty-eight millions of dollars We have had very goodly share of this great trade, much more in fact than Great Britain. In 1901, for instance, de- spite tariff duties, intended to give Great Britain a most decided advantage, Cam ada purchased from us S115,0O0,0 GOO worth of goods as against $44.000, 900 from the manufacturers and merchants Of the British Islands; while during the fiscal year just closed the figures were about $125. 0000OO. With reciprocal trade regu- lations between the Dominion and our- selves there can be no question that in very few years these figures will be more than doubled. We have nothing to fear from Canada. The greater her pros perity, the greater will be our own. An important point upon which our enter prising, thrifty and plucky neighbor can be congratulated at the present time, Is the character of the immigration flow ing to her It is the very best in all the world. Seventy per cent of 1t is, so to say, to the manner born, while of the remaining thirty per cent large propor- ton comes from northern Europe, Ger mans Scandinavians and Films who for the most part are Joining relatives and friends that preceded them. Then most desirable of all is the invasion of the vast wheat lands of the Canadian northwest by the agrlculturists of our own west, now marching there in thousands. Can ada Is the only country that has ever attracted American immigration No higher tribute could be paid to her.

The Oneida Community.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 In recent editorial the Tribune, re- ferring to the decline and collapse of so many social community schemes, said 'the Oneida community has wound up its affairs and gone out of business" in re- ply to which r. E. Moves, its general manager, writes to the Tribune that 1t Is doing more business than ever before. The intended reference was to the Oneida com munity as social community. As such the Tribune understands that 1t ceased to exist some time ago. It's property was sold to the "Oneida Community, Linn ited," which Is a regularly incorporated business organization in which MT. Moves and his family are the principal stock holders and managers The Tribune Is glad to know that the business Is flourish ing. "The Oneida Community, Limited, . of 1903. however. is a different community from that established on Oneida creek in 1S47. and from that which gave up social communism in 1879 and property commun- ism in 1880

Luxurious Robin.

From an Exchange.
 A Mrs. Newton of Geneseo put two fine lace collars out on the lawn in front of her house to dry one day last spring. When she went to get them an hour later they were gone. She was sure nobody stole them, because she was sitting be- side window at the front of the house at the time and would have seen any body entering the yard. The next day she put another collar out and watched. A robin flew down from an apple tree near by and carried off the collar. An investigation was made. and the other collars were found woven into the bird s nest in crotch of the apple tree There was also a small lace handkerchief in the nest. The bird that was doing the fine art" nest building and it's mate set up a big outcry and pecked fiercely at the man in the tree when the nest was being pulled down.

Various confusing and contradictory explanations are offered for the failure of bank loans to reflect the liquidation The banking phenomenon of an expan- sion of nearly sl,O000O0 in loans last week following a period of very urgent and distressing liquidation. to say nothing of balance of its $40,000,000 loan, was very bewildering. Technical theories are ad- vanced without number, but they are unconvincing One explanation upon which but few of Wall streets author ized critics have yentured is that the stocks are coming home. The mails and express lines continue to pour stocks into Wall street by the ream and 1t Is obvi- ous that somebody has to take them There has been no shrinkage in the vol ume of securities. There are just as are clean sold out. Commission houses are carrying fewer stocks than, perhaps, at any previous time in five years. 1t would be very interesting and instruct i've, no doubt, to get a look at the bank vaults. There, perhaps, would be found the undigested, the indigestible, and dis gorged securities tied up in bundles like old newspapers. There will come a time when the banking interests of Wall street will unite upon a campaign of dis tribution, and all these stocks eventually will be sold on rising quotations. If the public could not be depended on to sell stocks at the bottom and buy them again at the top Wall street would be- come a graveyard and the stock ex- change might transact it's business in the new street ante-room.

 It is reported in the street that the date of George w. Perkins retirement from the firm of J. P Morgan & Co. has been postponed to the first of next Jan uary. There Is a rumor that his job as chairman of the finance committee of the New York Life Insurance company also is In danger. Between these two jobs the earth might receive Mir. Per kins back again in the vicinity of Fulton street. Most people believe. however, that Mir. Mccall will take care of Mir. Perkins and see that he continues to be provided with reasonable lucrative em- ployment. As a member of the firm of J. F. Morgan & Co. he has been getting at least s250 900 a year; he was guaran- teed that much and given a percentage of the profits of the business. It Is ex- tremely doubtful, however, whether his share in the profits has recently ex- ceeded the guarantee. If Mir Perkins had been as frugal In his living since becoming a partner in the firm of J. r. Morgan & Go. as he was as a mere in- surance canvasser in the west he might have saved enough out of his salary to have made him independent for life, or about $24S, 800 year. It is a question, however, whether he will be any richer when he goes out of Mir. Morgan's than he was when he went In. MT. Bacon left MT Morgans employ a rich man. but he was not a speculator. MT. Perkins was unfortunate In becoming prominently identified with Mir Morgan's failures, notable the United States Steel corpora tion's conversion scheme, the distribu- ton of steel preferred at $s250 to em- ployes, the International Mercantile. Ma rine promotion and some other things. He made the mistake further of antag- onizng interests with whom 1t behooves MT. Morgan at this stage of his career to maintain the most friendly relations
 A very unsatisfactory condition of af- fairs must have been revealed at the recent meeting of the Atchison executive abandon number of pretentious im- provement plans and curtail expenses by every means possible. It is no secret that the Atchson has been trying to raise money both here and abroad but was unable to get 1t on anything like reasonable terms. Its failure to negoti- ate large loans as well as the inadyisa- bility of pressing for sale on this mar ket, bonds which 1t has the authority to issue resulted in the policy of retrench- ment referred to. Incidentally. there has been recently some very heavy liquida- tion of Atchfson stock, presumably for the account of the old Berwin.poo It

Runors.

New York, August S.-The Wall street community is afraid of it's stock market. Prices have reached a level on which bear operators are reluctant to put out large short contracts. and on the other hand, the outlook is so confused as the result of the abnormal conditions pre- vailins that to buy stocks requires more than ordinary courage. There are many who have the conviction to buy but are restrained by a variety of influences. One has but to survey the ruins of various colossal promotions brought out during the bull movement and then to read the names of the men who stood sponsor to them to realize that there is, perhaps, not banking coterie in Wall street that has not suffered severely as a result of the enormous shrinkage that has taken place in quoted values. Lack of conh- dence is, perhaps. the most potent re- straining influence of the present time. Vague fears are abroad. The possibility of further acute trouble resulting from the inability of individuals and firms to tide themselves over is readily conceded on every hand, and such being the case conservative men refrain from engaging in stock market operations. Those whose market opinions are most respected do not venture to forecast the immediate future of the speculative values, but are content to say merely that some stocks have declined top rices at which they are attractive as investments and may be bought conservatively with very lit tie risk, while others, perhaps, are yet too high and must go lower. This Is now the cheapest security market in fha world, fact which would undoubtedly be attracting foreign capital to Wall street for investment if 1t were not that our foreign critics are dissatisfied with the surface of things particularly the apparent inability of the banks to reduce their loans notwithstanding the tremen- dous liquidation that has occurred. If another week shall elapse without fur ther trouble of a serious nature senti- ment no doubt will begin to mend Meanwhile there Is a great deal of uncer- tainty as to the attitude of the Standard oil crowd. There has been no evidence of such transactions for it's account as usu- ally precede a campaign on the bull side, and 1t may be seriously doubted wheth- CT bull market can be managed with out the assistance. or at least the tacit consent, of this powerful combination The Morgan party Is outwardly bullish That much might be guessed from the action of the Erie directors in putting the first preferred stock on the full 4 per cent basis. Mr. Morgan evidently intended that to be interpreted as an emphatic avowal on his part of abiding confidence in the situation. And, indeed, it was so interpreted but the moral of it was lost by a subsequent outburst of fresh liquidation and the failure of three stock exchange houses

has always been regarded as mistake for the directors to put Atchison com mon on a per cent dividend basis, and it is doubtful if that would have been done except that the market position of the Berwind crowd required it. The Ser wind crowd suffered disastrous losses in the collapse of Consolidated Lake Supe- rior and other recent speculations. It Is supposed to have been involved in the international Mercantile Marine under writing and how unprofitable that has been everybody knows.
 The failure of the Doylestown Bank of Pennsylvania. one of the oldest state in- stitutlons in the Keystone commonwealth, while unimportant in itself so far as Wall street is concerned, had an unfavorable effect upon general sentiment. The bank had been lending money on such collateral as Consolidated Lake Superior Asphalt Alkalai and other thin securities. and It's failure was due to the utter worthliness of these loans. Speculative banking has been much in vogue of recent years anu this Doylestown incident was an uncom- fortabe reminder of the fact. No com munity in the country is more solemn in its denunciation of speculative banking than Wall street. but 1t Is conducted here on colossal scale. Banks do not pay anywhere from 25 to 100 per cent annually on their capital out of the ordinary profits of banking.
