1.-The significance of the October report
of the controller of the currency is very
pleasing said well-informed local
financier yesterday. THE controllers re-
port is plain index of the prosperous con-
dition of the country, and especially of the
middle section. The report shows that
fifty-seven national banks were organized
in October. The organization of new banks
is the best evidence that the prosperity or
this country is on a sound basis and that
the people have confidence in the banks.
I'm this connection it is pleasing TO note
the increase the last several months in the
number of national banks in the small
cities and towns of Indiana with a paid-up
capital of $751; 00 These institutions are
taking the place in many instances of small
private banks. The national banks, with
their paid-up capital, are much prefera-
HE IN the priVate banks. which, in this
State. are not required to have dollar of
paid-up capital.
'In no city in the country has the growth
of financial institutions been greater or
more substantial than in Indianapolis. The
local banks have made great strides dur
ing the last five years. and, although there
are more banks here than in 1886, the older
ones have larger business than they did
before the younger institutions were estab-
lished. That indicates prosperous COM
munity."

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S.-The market opened
firm showing fractional advances and was in
fuenced partly by higher quotations for Amer
leans in London. The bears attempted to raid
Steel for the purpose Of covering up other lines.
and while partly successful in getting Steel
preferred down about a point they found 1t ex-
tremely difficult to dislodge long stocks from
any quarter. In spite of the raid on Steel issues
the market altogether held the advance of the
morning London bought balances After
the noon hour the market became very dull and
specialties taken in hand and through pool
operations were advanced several points. Among
the industrials Leather preferred advanced
points buying by interests identified with the
management of the company. Reading ad-
vanced on the more favorable outlook for bust
ness. owing to the approach of cold weather.
Selling after the noon hour did not check the
advance sufficiently to any impression,
and during the afternoon traders took advantage
of every opportunity to quietly cover outstanding
commitments.

Bear Raid Failed.
[Porterfeld & Co.. indianapolis

[Porterfeld & Co., Indianapolisl
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The stock market
showed resiliency all day. Early there was an
attempt to break the market with Steel stocks
but the list would not yield. The low-priced
stocks like Wisconsin Central lifted a
couple of points, and the bears awakened to the
fact that some one was purchasing the market.
On attempts to cover IL was soon demonstrated
that stocks were scarce, and il required bids to
get them. The advance was fought desperately
but in the closing hour the shorts ran to cover,
and United States Steel recovered the COM
mon to IL and the preferred to SIX.
