The demand for secured territory
is active and some large sales are re-

secured will command 55c or close to
it today. There has been consider
able advance in these woods during

Oregon woods are firm and quiet

From 19c to zoe is quoted.
California wool has been quite &C.

REPORTED FROM BOSTON. :
DEMAND !. FOR ALL LINES
Trade Confined to Legitimate Chan.
nels With Practically No SpecuIa-
tion-Montana Leads Territory.

The market is excited. Manufac.
turers are more willing t 0 part with
their money for wool and the bust
ness of the week has been On a large
scale, says the Boston Commercial
Bulletin. The demand is good and
healthy and comes from about all
classes of consumers making mems
anG women's wear goods. Large
buyers, who were thought to have
amply covered, have been on the mar
ket during the week. The number OF
smaller mills who have had their
buyers here is very large. A few big
lines of territory and medium feeces
have been disposed of, running from
200, 600 up to 500, 900 pounds. Numer.
Gus transactions of $4,000 to 10000
pounds are being closed every cay.
The excellent demand from these
small manufacturers is a feature Of
the present situation.
so far as can be learned there is
practically nc speculation. The situa-
ton is still remarkably free from
unhealthy features. While there is
considerable excitement throughout
the trade, it has not broken out into
that feverish sort of trading as has
been experienced in former booms.
Securing Western Markets.
Boston dealers have been operating
in the west as extensively as supplies
and holders permitted. st. Louis has
been cleaned of the Soda Springs me-
dunn woods at a landed cost in Boston
of 23k cents. Good stiff prices have
been paid there for medium combing
woods also, better than 28h cents,
for that price was refused early in
the week, and the sales have been
since consummated. This means a
S0-cent market here if a profit is to
be lad. Chicago has also been the
e of some heavy purchases in
Boston account.
Prices are firm and rising. They
are certainly higher on domestic
secured and medium unwashed fleece
The oldest members of the trade say
that the situation is one the like OF
which they have never known before

the Hepburn-Dollive bill to restrict
interstate transportation of liquors is
well named. "When l was on the bench

EXAMINE PRIVATE BANKS.

Among the many bills favored with
quiet death in the committee rooms of
the Iowa legislature was very meritor-
ious measure that, in some form, should
become law. The plan to provide
some legalized system of publicity for
private banks is good one. Banks
that are repositories for the peoples
money are not altogether private enter
prises but have degree of public re-
sponsibility which makes it just as much
the duty of the state to examine, regu-
late and publish them as it is for the
state to supervise Incorporated banks
or the federal to regulate national
banks.
1t is difficult to understand why any
private banker should object to state
examination, but it seems that enough
of them put up so strenuous an oppose
tion that the committee voted to post
pone the bill. Senator Stuckslager, of
Linn county, led this opposition and in
an interview explained his attitude by
saying that "the depositors in private
bank for whose security there are broad
acres and hocks of cattle and the other
evidences Of the wealth of the capital-
lists in the smaller towns, are safer than
if their money was in a bank with
capital of $4,000 and double liability"
Experience does not support this
view since the statistics of bank fail
ures in Iowa, for nine years past, show
private banks to have turned in assets
amounting to only 6S per cent Of their
liabilities while in the same time both
failed state banks and savings have re-
ported assets greater than liabilities,
the percentage being III and 112 re-
spectively. AS matter of fact the US
ual experience of private bank failures,
fine stock farms and fancy herds is that
the herds are the direct causes of the
failure, the farms are plastered with
mortgages and the great protection of
the depositor in the unlimited liability
of the private banker amounts to moth
ing when, by the very nature of the
case, the private bank is not going to
fail until the private banker is a bank
rupt himself.
| Had the state been examining private
banks and publishing their condition
Banker Wood, at Colfax, would never
have dared to loan one man 100000 and
then be compelled to kill himself to
avoid meeting the crisis. In this case
broad acres and lowing herds were poor
consolation to depositors. At Mt. Ayr
it was fine stock farms and fancy cattle
that wrecked the Cunning bank. Still
again, at Sheldon, examination and pub
LEGATION of private banks would have de-
tered Ed Browns son from borrowing
100000 of the banks fund for specula-
tive purposes. To an average business
man it would seem that publication Of a
banks condition would be welcomed by
a private banker doing a legitimate,
safe banking business. 1t would invite
public confidence. With the plunger
the public has legal right to state pro-
lection for it's deposits. Why is it that
when banker suicides it is nearly
always private banker? -Times-Re-
