There are few monotonOus features

absurdity. stock market historians are
making comparison of the volume of bus
mess during the extreme dull period of
last week with the action three years ago
when the daily average ran over 2,0O0.000
shares for a single period. The highwater
mark was reached on the 10th Of April,
1901, when the aggregate was nearly B..
300 900 shares during the five business
hours.
There are many existent things contrib
uting to market activity. Money is plenty
and cheap, the Industrial outlook Is bet
ter. crop conditions in the southwest are
improving land the heavy expenses of
railroad operation due to the long hard
winter are no longer a pressing burden
on the transportation companies. Conf
dence seems to be slowly returning and at
the current range of prices investors are
getting into the better class of bonds and
shares. Investments that yield AZ to
per cent are attractive, especially when
money in the opeA market sells below
per cent on call and at to per cent on
long time.
The sap is running up the tree and the
country appears to be entering upon an
other year of reasonable prosperity It
has been pointed out by financial authorl-
ties that our national wealth is increasing
at the rate of s.. 10000 900 TO s3,O0Oo00 900 a
year, a figure which insures substantial
and permanent recovery from any de-
preston through which we may have
passed.

Partlnu of the WAYS.

Some time during the month Of April
the trust companies and banks of New
York will come to a parting of the ways
Under the existing state laws trust com
panies In this city have been doing
great banking business and have arrayed
themselves in direct opposition to the ma
tional and state banks. The aggregate
of trust company deposits at the present
time Is about as large as the deposits of
the clearing house banks and they are
not surrounded with as many restrictions
Some months ago the clearing house asso-
citation passed rule requiring trust COM
panies clearing through that association
or through banks having membership
therein to keep on hand larger cash re-
serves This action was resented by the
trust companies and great majority of
them are about to cut loose and go 1t
alone. In their efforts to secure deposits
many Of the trust companies have resort
ed to methods which are not regarded as
conservative and unfavorable comment
is heard in consequence. When the split
takes place formally 1t will be a sensation
in the financial quarter.

Whitney Estate $4,000. 900.

The estate of the late W. C. Whitney,
which has THEORETICALLY scheduled at SILL
900. 900 or Whereabouts is, in reality, great
ly In excess of that sum. according to the
statements made by insiders The real
value Is said to be s3i0OO,000. There has
been a suspicion that the Whitney estate
Is getting rid of portion at least of its
holdings in the New York traction compa-
MES There is also prevalent belief that
the estate of the late W. J.. Elxins of
Philadelphia is Tightening Its holdings in
these companies. Messrs. Whitney and
Elkins were two members of the small
group of controlling stockholders In New
York fractions. 1t is said that the assets
of Mr.. Whitney contained almost no eats
and dogs" 1t seems to have been his
policy to get rid of all evidence of bad
Investments. He must have made many
such as he was in the habit of subscribe
ing to the enterprises of his friends re-
CARELESS of their prospectus promises. He
left no accumulation of dead wood for
his executors to worry. over or for his
heirs to speculate upon as to possible
value. The Whitney estate In this par
tlcular is in striking contrast to those OF
many millionaires whose safety vaults are
full of notorionsly worthless securities.
