ExnansIon Illustrated.

The extent to which expansion has been going on in the United States during the last ten years Is brought out forcibly in the report of the United States com- missioner of labor on the relative cost of food and wages. The document is her. aided as being for campaign use and as proving that while the cost of living has advanced wages have made corres- bonding gain. The advance of wages is given at 16 per cent. in round figures, and the increase in the cost Of food 15 per cent in round numbers. There is a deeper significance in these figures, how ever, than the mere political turn that has been given them. They tell the sto- ry of the effect of the gold imitation which has been proceeding steadily and consistently during the last decade-al process which has added 5000, 100000 to the worlds supply of basic currency, a rate which Is likely to be maintained for many years to come. The people of ev- cry commercial country on the globe are affected by this imitation, and there apparently has been no great shifting in the relative positions of the great classes of humanity. The whole struc- ture has been simultaneously uplifted.

M EMORIAM,

Birmingham, Ala. August 2, 1904 We the members of the Bricklayers' In. ternational Union No. 1, of Alabama. hereby extend our heartfelt sympathy .to the family and friends of the late Father OReilly, who received injuries while per- forming his duty as chaplain of the Third regiment, Alabama National Guard at Camp Jelks, Thursday, July 21, of which he died July 2S following.
 We feel that this organization has suf- fered an incomparable loss through his death.
 He was a friend to the people ire spective of class, rich and poor were all him was to love him. and of him it could never be said, Mans inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn" His Christianity was as broad as humanity It. self.
 We feel that we have indeed lost a true friend in the death of this great and good man, who believed and taught the beau. tiful truth of brotherly love, and that not only this organization. but the many friends in Birmingham and vicinity will miss his hearty handshake and genia smile. May his soul rest in peace. Be it resolved. That a copy of these reso. lutons be put on our minutes and alss a copy sent to the Rt. Rev. Bishop E. F. Allen of this diocese and to his brother in Massachusetts and to the Sister Su- perior.

 The corporation will loan the money but with ample security by mortgage or other legally established claim. The advantage to the borrower will be that he will have the money for a longer time than a bank would carry him, even If the bank would take his paper which would be doubtful, because his credit would not be estab- lished. But the Commercial club corpora tion will not loan for indefinite periods It will be time loan, with provision, doubt less, for partial payments when desirable. The corporation will simply stand in the breach until the time comes that the new industry is on its feet financially.
 The average city or town board of trade is an injury rather than an aid to the community it Is intended to benefit, be- cause It's method is wrong. New indus tries are obtained generally in competi- ton with other boards of trade. A very large percentage of those industries which will put themselves up to the highest bid der are short lived. There are exceptions dS, Aor eAdIHple, lne DodTu ol Ifaue or Bridgeport, Conn.,, which has procured a number of industries that have grown to large proportions. The trouble is 1t is difficult to get board of trade to use the same businesslike methods that It's indi- vidual members would use In their pri- vate business affairs. Where such an Jn- stitution is on a genuine. .balslnegs basis 1t succeeds. Such in7tances as that at Hartford, conn.y where it Is proposed to erect a madern industrial building of con- sider96ie size, for ren. to small concerns, 96t at profit, but with view to attract i1ng new manufacturing enterprises that are not large enough or net rich enough to build for themselves, and that of Bir- rAi ham are samples of proper methods of fAstimulating industrial growth.

studxlna Traction Puzzle.

In the absence of big things to interest
 the speculative mind the attention of the
 Street has been given over, in large de- gree, to the traction puzzle of New York
 It would appear that a scheme for the consolidation of the several companies is making progress, although vigorous off, cial denial is made whenever the real
 people are approached for information. August Belmont, head of the Subway-L combination, declares that he does not
 want the Metropolitan or any of it's sur
 face connections, and would not have
 them as a gift. He has not denied, how ever, that Thomas J. Ryan, and his as-
 sociates in control of the surface lines
 may swallow him and his outfit. It is commonly believed that if it comes to
 a show down, MT Ryan could produce S5 to MT. Belmonts $1. and that Belmont may be the little fish about to be devour- ed It is a curious complication and a
 wide interest attaches to the play be- cause of the fact that there are nt least 70, 900 people directly interested in the se- curities of the various companies con- cerned, having an aggregate market val ue of approximately s50O, 100000 There are only three of four steam railway comhi- nations with more at stake and repre- senting more real money.
 Fractions have been quite active and fluctuations inoessent making them att tractive these dull days to the talent" on tho exchange. The course of prices in the several properties has been gen.
 orally upward and some clever turns have been made by the speculators. Tammany
 braves have been taken Into the deal at various stages and given a chance to make money. In return for this kind ness they are expected to lend hand when concessions or gifts of franchises are asked for later on. Neither Wall Street nor Tammany poses as an leem- osynary institution and this sort of traffic is done on basis of interchange of fa- yOrs.

nCron killersu RusY.

The ''crop killers" are very busy lot. Now that the winter wheat crop has been harvested they have nothing more to do in that quarter and are devoting their attention chiefly to the over whelming calamity which Is about to overtake the spring wheat crop Universal black rust is des- troying wheat in the northwest. The Street knows this to be true because Jim Hill, the railroad magnate, and "Bilr Jones the crop expert say so. Gov ernment reports do not confirm these cruel statements, but that is of small conseqIerce when commission houses and spectators are trying to work up ex- eitement in the grain markets. When the northwestern fields are worked out by the "crop killers they will turn their at tention to corn and to the devastations of the boil weevil in the cotton field. The conspicuous place given in the newspa- pers to crop canards produce incidental effects in the stock market and gives ann munition to. the bears in securities. They make the most of it, but meet with only feeble response In their efforts to sell stocks down on that kind of foolishness.

 urday clearlngo $1e2,ss3, ,5s2.
IS READILY ACCOUNTED FOR

New York, August 6-The Financier this week says:
 The official statement of the New York associated banks last week was some- what disappointing in that,it failed to re- fleet the gain in cash which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable move ments of money during the week, the average gain as reported in the state ment and that which was estimated be- ing $2,611, ,500
 This difference may be in great part accounted for, however, by the fact that the banks lost an average of two and a quarter millions by the pay through them to the sub-treasury on Friday of the pre- vious week of $2,s00,OO0, the amount of the Central Pacific note, and they also lost one and half millions which was with drawn on Friday of last week for ship ment to Cuba on Saturday. The net gain of cash reported by the statement was $751; 200 specie increasing $1, ,9S5, 300, and legal tenders decreasing s1,S54, 100. De- posits fell off $752,9O0, causing a reduc- tion of $1SS,050 in the required reserve; f; adding this sum to the net gain in cash as above, an increase of $319,250 in sur plus reserve to $56,9oS.s $50 is given.
 Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of 23270,100 public funds, the surplus is $62, 16l,375. Loans were contract ed of S1,S6l 200. probably refiecting the cancellation of those against the proceeds of Cuban bonds and also the small volume of commission house borrowing during the week. The statement of next week will most likely show a net gain in cash re sulting from the transfer hither from San Francisco of about $4,000,000 of which three millions will be Japanese and the remainder Australian gold-less two and half million which will be shipped on Tuesday to London. The daily average of bank clearings during the week was sll0,- 900, 900 or S. 000,000 less than in the previous week, rehecting the decreased business on the stock exchange.
 The clearings on Saturday were s162, 3S3, 5S2, or much below the average.
 It may be noted that the bank state ment was out of proof. the sum of the decrease in loans, less the gain of cash being S977, 800 greater than the decrease in deposits. Comparisons show that six banks reduced loans by s2. 100000 net; seven insti- tutions lost two and half million net cash, and one of the largest reduced this item by five million.

Railroads Must Buy.

An industrial point advanced by hope full souls is that railroads, the largest customers of the iron and steel mills car and locomotive works and lumber in- terests, must continue to buy indefinitely to maintain their properties, making no allowance whatever for necessary bet terments and extensions. The wear and tear of railroad property is constant, although at the present time most rail- way companies are well equipped with rolling stock. There can be no let up in the way of replenishment, however The late General sam" Thomas is cred tied with the remark: You can starve a railroad for year, but you cannot by any possibility starve it for two years" There is a continual necessity for the purchase of rails, locomotives, cars, ties.

Bla People Restlnu.

The big people of Wan Street are giv- ing themselves over, as far as lies in their power to a season of rest and recreation. H. H. Rogers, the leading factor in Stan dard oil, is the latest to take flight to Europe. MT. Morgan remains in town. but spends his spare time on his yacht. Saratoga has drawn number of mar het leaders, including MT. Keene and N-r. Gates. More than 150 members of the stock exchange are temporarily at Sara toga. They regard it as a religious duty to spend week or two there every sum n'er, ostensibly to see the races and con- tribute their share to the further im- Irovement of thoroughbred horsec. Five legitimate private wires and one bucket shop wire connect the resort with Wall Street. Only a moderate business is done over them. less this year than last which was the dullest for a decade.

A PLAN FOR HELPING NEW II
 DUSTRlES.
EEfom the Iron Age.

sfom the Iron Age.
 The Birmingham Commercial club of Birmingham Ala, has a plan for attract- Ing new industries to the city which pos- sesses features that will appeal to any one who has had experience in assisting manufacturing concerns to get start as an adjunct of the industrial growth of a city or town. Ordinarily. building sites and exemption from taxes are deuanded when a city is trying to get a new Indus trial resident and sometimes these induce- ments are offered entirely unsolicited. Free water free electric lighting and free this and that come under consideration. Such inducements are usually not bus lnesslike nor wholesome in the life of a community. Exemption from taxation foY one concern must mean added burdens tt others The res1lts are generally undesir- able. Occasionally there is an exception, but more frequently the manufacturing concern, that requires so much assist nance free of cost is not the kind that endures.
 The Birmingham plan is oS a strictly business basis. It is proposed to organize a corporation within the Commercial club with a capital of $1Oo,oO0 cash. This money will be loaned to small concerns That need financial assistance temporari- iy, until they have. obtained a start. II

Opportunities Offered.

The stock market Is full of 10 to 12 per cent opportunities. The industrial list does not hold a monopoly in this respect, although majority of the chances Of the kind described are found there. Some of the newer railroads and railroad com binations offer almost irresistible attrac- tions to investors and speculators who do rot look for absolutely sure things With call money at l Fer cent and time money at and per cent and with business con ditions noraml 1t is not safe to expect a
 prolongation ot dullness and inactivity in the stock market The situation is strain ed and unnatural. The gospel of business reaction and lack of confidence has been over worked. Recovery from this abnor- nal state of things has been going on

Bears Make Slow Headway.

It Is very hard for the bears to make keadway with general business fairly good aud no end of money available for legitimate purposes. The surplus in the hanks of the New York clearing house over and above the legal requirements has reached the enormous total of s56,- C00,000, with possibly nearly as much in the trust companies and private bank ing institutions which make no regular reports. Developments in the far east have caused European lenders to with draw some of their funds and credits ex- tended to America and this has caused a rise in sterling exchange. Local bankers are glad 10 see this, as they do not desire competition at this Juncture. They can rot find people to borrow their own mo- ney and with large amount of foreign capital competing here at home they are in a state of actual distress. call money loaned this week as low as la of 1 per cent, in million dollar blocks. This is almost equivalent to hiring other people to take care of funds. It certainly does not compensate for the risk involved
 for there is always an clement of risk

Reinstatement Is Denied.

whenever banker lets his cash get out of his hands. although at times it may seem too insignificant to give thought.
 There will be no trouble this year about money with which to move the crops. Provision has been made long in ad- vance for this annual drain upon the resources of the banks. The flow of funds from New York to the south and West will not begin, however, for 30 days or more. Foreigners had prepared themselves to help out In that quarter, and possibly will do so yet, although for the moment their anxiety appears to be to reconcentrate their surplus at home us insurance against possible complica- tions growing out of the Russo-Japan- ese war.

Sugar Trust Making Money.

The sugar trust Is making money at the rate of flve-eighths of cent pound is equivalent to s17oJ0,oO0 Divided re- is equivalent to slL50000. Dividend re- quirements foot up $6,500,000 annually. The company is therefore able to reinforce its surplus at the rate of Sl1,00O,000 year. It already has an immense cash working capital, a sum largely in excess of ordi- nary requirements and is one of the h.ggest lenders of call money, competing with the insurance companies, Standard oil and Russell Sage. There is a we'll defined talk of a melon cutting iN sugar, either in the form of an increase in the I gular dividend. or in the distribution of special allotment.

President Grants a Pardon.

Washington, August 6.-The Presi dent has granted a pardon to Lieut. Patrick w. Hourigan, U. s. N, who was convicted by courtmartial in 1906 of offenses against the articles of war of the government and navy and sen. fenced to be dismissed from the navy. President Mckinley commuted the sentence so as to put him at the foot of the list of lieutenants in the navy. The present pardon does not restore him to his old position, but has the effect of putting him at the head of the list of lieutenants in the navy.
