MARKED PROGRESS SHOWN.
Bankers Trust Company Arouses Favorable
Comment by It's Condition.

The semi-annual statements of the various trust
companies as reported to the Department Of Bank
ing of the State of New-York made the
close Of business yesterday. They form. for the
banking fraternity, Interesting reading, inasmUch
by comparison with the similar statements of
six months they show whether the trust
panies individually a whole have gained or
lost in their earnings and deposits.
The period covered by the last twelve or eighteen
months has no. heen looked upon as one favorable
TO the earnings OF New York trust companies and
has generally been regarded decidedly unpropi-
uous for the establishment of new institutions.
This fact makes all the striking the progress
made by the Bankers Trust Company, which opened
It's doors for business just fifteen months ago
The rapid advance OF this institution into posi-
ton OF activity and prominence has excited go1d
deal of comment not only the Street but in
out Of town banking circles we'll In its year
and one-quarter of business, as set forth by its

The officers state that the company has been espe-
from the keen competition which has prevailed in

Among the banking fraternity generally the sue
the unfavorable conditions which have prevailed in
the last year, is regarded due TO the unusual

the earnings OF the trust company. well to
add TO its reputation for solidty and conservatism.

Canvassing the Candidates.

How many candidates for the Mime
sofa house and for the Minneapolis
council have promised the Retail Liquor
Dealers association to "be good?' In
the news column today is given list
of questions which candidates have been
requested to answer on pain of the dis
pleasure of this powerful association.
Among other things, the candidates are
asked to pledge themselves to oppose all
legislation until it has been Hpassed
on by the liquor dealers.
1t is not likely that many members
of the legislature or the council will
sign away their independence in this
manner, and put their future action in
the hands of this or any other business
interest. It would be interesting, how
ever, to know how many such pledges
are signed, and who signs them. The
j ournal believes that the general
public has right to know from each
candidate, whether or not he has agreed
to the demands made in these circulars.
There is in this incident, too, the sug-
gestion that the liquor interest is not
idle and the hint that those who do not,
