NEW BANK BUILDING
Will Probably Be Erected This
Spring by Tyler County Bank.

At a meeting of the directors of
the Tyler county bank last night
the matter of erecting a hand
some new bank and business
block was the principal subject
under discussion. 1t is proposed
to build a modern block, which
will be seventy-two feet fronting
on Wells street and ninety feet
deep. The building will be two
stories high, with two business
room on the first floor and the
banking room. The old bank
building will be entirely torn
down. The second floor of the
building in the front will be con-
verted into offices and the back
rooms will probably be made in
to rooms for private dwellings,
something on the order of fats.
! The building, bank fixtures,
vault and so on, it is estimated,
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000,
and it will be not only the larg-
est bank building in the city, but
the finest and most complete
banking house in the county. A
committee was appointed to
have plans and specifications
made and estimates furnished. 1t
was the opinion of all the direc-
tors that the block should be
built right away, and we have no
doubt but what it will be COM
pleted by fall.
The directors also declared the
usual 4 per cent dividends to be
paid its stockholders on the first
day of April.
This bank is the oldest banking
institution in the city. Its sue
cess has been almost phenomenal.
During the past three years it's
net earnings have been exactly
one hundred percent and 7S90$-
100 per cent. Its business is
growing in volume steadily and
substantially, and a larger build
ing is absolutely needed to ham
die the increased business. We
fully expect in a few days to an
nounee that plans for the Tyler
county bank block are finished
and ready for the contractors to
submit bids for the work.

Another contribution to the
growing cheerfulness in the bus
mess situation was the action df
the biMmineus coal miners IN
voting against strike this year
this important industry woRld
have been a muck more serious
matter than the legal opinion on
corporation managements. Still
another contribution to the same
fund was the advancing tenden-
cy in iron and steel products,
based upon an increased demand
for consumption. The change
that has taken place in this re-
spect is almost as radical as that
which occurred last fall when
consumers withdrew from the
market, and mills and furnaces
on all sides were closing down.
That there should be a lack OF
confidence in the permanency OF
this improvement in the demand
for products is but an expression
of human nature, which is prone
to run to extremes. The fact,
however, that the increased ton
mage has occurred despite the ul-
tra-conservative view that the
outlook is not yet entirely clear
is evidence that it is backed by a
legitimate and urgent demand
for immediate consumption. In
other words, the buying has been
|, for immediate use, not for the
speculative possibilities Of the
future.
The breaking of the drought in
the southwest has forestalled the
forebodings as to the effects OF
the prolonged severe weather on
the early winter wheat crops.

ACTED WISELY

There is every reason now to look
for an early opening of spring,
which will permit of a resump-
ton of farm work, and the rela-
lively high prices for grain and
cotton will assure the planting of
a large acreage this year. This is
the foundation upon which the
merchant and manufacturer will
build expectations for business
the coming year.
Financial conditions remain
entirely satisfactory. In New
York call loan rates have remain
ed easy at the minimum of the
year, and the associated banks of
the metropolis are more strongly
fortified with cash reserves than
at any corresponding season for
years. The war in the Far East
is still a factor in the situation,
because a serious reverse of Rus
sian arms woud probably precip-
itate disturbances in financial cir
weekly reports of foreign gov
ernment banks showed that these
institutions were also strengthen
ing their position.
The collapse in the cotton cor
ner Friday may prove costly to
the spectators engaged therein,
but it viii tend to stimulate the
textile industry. Domestic and
foreign mills have been running
on short time and buying cotton
only in amount sufficient to meet
requirements for three months
past. A return to a normal level
of values will impart new life to
the New England cotton trade,
and will be followed by increas-
ed exports of the staple, which
will add to an already favorable
foreign trade balance.
