STATE GETS S265.
First InstaIment of Interest for De-
posits Received.

Sixteen banks acting as state de-
positories have reported to the. state
the amount of interest which the state
money has earned during the few days
Of September which it has been on
deposit. The total amount credited to
the state is $265, of which 1921 comes
from banks within the state, and the
balance from the fiscal agency.
In some of the banks the money
has been on deposit only a week or
so. When the report for a full month
from all the IS repositories is re-
ceived, it is expected that the state
money will bring in about $1,000 a
month on an average for the year.
The largest deposit IS with the Bank
of Topeka, but as it has been there
only q short time, the Fourth National
Of Wichita pays the largest amount of
interest. It pays S62.61 for the, use
of S89.711.36.

cali money market. but the interest rates on time loans were marked up sharply, and for sixty days loans commission was exacted in addition to the six per cent. rate. which mounted to a premium above that rate. The
 statement of the regular express move ment of currency furnished by the banks, which covers only five days this week, indicates a balance in favor of this center. But the heavy transfers to interior points through the sub-Ireasu- " and the losses to that institution on routine operations are large enough to more than offset the gain on the regu- lar express movement. The nRussia situation was of more influence to-day , than at any time during the disturb ances in that country, even during the period of military reserves in the Japa-
 nese war. The direct effect here in the
 way of selling of securities for foreign account was not very important, but
 sinister reports were in circulation in the financial district as to commercial
 and financial conditions in Russia. Paris was reported to be selling notes in London to secure gold, and the ster- ling exchange rate at Paris fell sharp ly in a way to indicate renewed pres sure from that quarter upon the Lon- don money market Sterling exchange here also fell sharply under the offer
 ings of finance bills prompted by the hardness of the local money market. Something was made in the specuia- tive discussion of the approach of the 1 assembling of congress and the threat ened railroad rate legislation. The i news of the relinquishment by the
 Erie of the Cincinnati. Hamilton and
 Dayton and it's reversion to J. P. Nor gan was regarded as explaining the re-
 cent failure of the Fries to share in i the rise in the market owing to the dis 1 satisfaction now known to have been
 caused by that project. The lowest l prices of day were touched in the last
 half hour of the market, and the last

Former Yale Man in the Literary

 The many friends in this city of the Rev. John Deans, rector of the North Congregational Church of Providence, R. T., will be pleased to learn of his success in the literary field. MT. Deans graduated from Yale in 1896 and has been very successful as a pastor. Under the title of "Maidenhair," he has at present 8 series of literary ar ticles appearing in the Peoples Friend, one of the oldest of Scottish literary magazines. In an editorial this paper speaks of the writer as follows: "He is one of the best types of American preachers-shrewd, kindly and sympa- thetic; full of the highest culture and reinforced by wide knowledge of the world.''
 The articles which have apeared so far are addressed specially to young women and are written in a highly instructive and entertaining vein. From a moral standpoint, they are very forci- ble and the large number of people who read them are sure to be very much benefited by their perusual. The following are the titles of the articles which have appeared so far: "The Wealth of Life,' "The Virtue of Play" ftChoice of Words" Meaning of Life" Importance of Clothes" Virtues for a Girl,' and a Need of Friendship"

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
CALL MONEY RAN UP TO FIF-
 TEEN PER CENT.

And With Fear of a Poor Bank State
 ment Prices slipped OR-TobaecO Co.
 Announcement The Railroad List
 and the Presidents Coming Message
 The price of call money ran up to 15 per cent. near yesterdays close and with fear of a poor showing by the banks to-day prices slipped off late in the day.
 The railroad stocks were distinctly under pressure and many stocks closed lower.
 Some of the gains in the industrials melted a little also.
 National Lead, however, went to a new high record. Despite the claims that the merger stories about 1t were mostly pronounced imaginary the re- , port gained credence that the control of the property has passed to Shelters. In the past week Lead stock has rizen twenty-five points.
 Amalgamated Copper rose to 91, but Tennessee Coal dropped points. It ran down to 118 IS and up to 124 IA, closing at 122 1-4,or a share less than on Wednesday.
 Obviously the relief of Erie from the burden of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton is a great one. but the stock has gone down in spite of it.
 As stocks began to advance directly after all money rose to 25 per cent. re- centiy the advance to 10, F and 15 per cent. yesterday did not produce alarm.
 The heaviness of the railroad list was due to the feeling that has been gain ing ground all of the week that the presidents message next Tuesday will furnish cause for selling of railroad stocks. The decline in Union Pacific and St. Paul related to the extension of the latter company to the Pacific coast, which it was thought would take away considerable business from the Harri- man lines. The heaviness of this group finally carried off the industrials,

 The important announcement was made yesterday that $15,2OOoo 4 per cent. American Tobacco bonds had been surrendered for cancellation. This re- duces the outstanding amount from $7S,6s9, ,00O to $6S.20O,OOO, and makes $60S0O0 less interest charges annually. The reduction in interest, furthermore, Is equal to about 1 per cent. on the re maining bonds. They were higher yes terday in consequence of this move. The bonds have ranged this year be- tween Il and So 7-8.
 It was largely a speciality market that is, made up of issues which are not widely distributed, but which are controlled by cliques, and are identified with restricted lines of business.

We want the people Of Perth Amboy

Vinol, be it understood, is not a patent
medicine, as everything it contains IS
named on the back label of every bottle.
We guarantee Vinol contains in a SON
centrated form all of the medicinal, cur.
alive and bodybuilding elemcnts oil Goa
liver oil actually taken from fresh CO.'S
livers but without a drop OF oil to clog
the system, upset tho stomach and retar'
it's work. This is why Vinol is so far

We do not believe there is a man,
woman or child in Perth Amboy whom
Yinol will not benefit at this season OF
the year.
Vinol has become SO we'll known and
so highly regarded by tho profession That
it is actually guaranteed by over two
thousand loading druggists OF the United
States 30 create health and strength for
old people, weak, sickly women and
children, nursing moth rs, and at or a

chronic colds, bronchitis and all throat

supposed that the corporation wants

are those who will help it get a per-

upon having it. twenty-five years,
however, is long enough for any mu-

ROLLS OF WALLPAPER.
They Are Not All Made of One Length,
as Is the General Sup

Most persons have an idea that all
pieces of wall paper are necessarily OF
enc length" remarked a wall paper
man, according to the Philadelphia
Record.
Sometimes when l receive orders
from a distance | wonder just what tho
patron is figuring on. He may gel
enough to paper two rooms and he
may get only half enough-some figure
over economically and some over gen
erously. 90
"Our domestic papers run eight
Yards to the piece. Those from France
and Germany measure nine yards,
while the English make their rolls SO
lengthy that they contain quite Il
yards. Then, of course, there's the re-
peat. On some of the new papers with
the smallest figures this is next to
nothing, and on some Others, notably
thatl ong-tailed bird pattern, if a bit
over the figure is required for each
length 1t means a loss of five feet on
every strip put on the wall"
