HEARD ON CHANGE

The indications Of reviving business or of
interest in local securities however It may
be expressed, which was observed during
the week did not disappear. and there Is a
reason to believe that they will develop into
something that will not only be substantial,
but will mark the resumption Of active
trading on the local board.
1t Is argued that the dizziness Of the past
few months has, in addition to being sea-
sonable. been also convincing proof Of the
solid character Of the securities that are
found listed on the exchange. 1t Is a sig
nificant factor, at least. Is SO regarded
that during all this time of practical sus-
pension Of active trading the figures in the
list have varied but little and the changes
made are so slight as to be hardly notice
able except to one very familiar with the
market.
1t is natural that this should be SO. for
this city shares with the country at large in
the remarkable prosperity which prevails In
all branches of activity. Business is good In
all departments and men are making
money. In this city there has never been as
much money on deposit in local financial In
situations as there is now. while ON every
hand the evidences of material growth are
so evident not to escape the notice Of the
most careless observer
Inc CROWN OF the CITY, as SHOWN Dy inc
increase in the number OF houses and apart
ments. seems to go on without check. The
feature of the realty market Is the selling
of houses condition without precedent
here, where the rental market has always
been better than the Housekeeping. In this
latter condition lies an important fact and
that is the increse in the population is of a
permanent character. 1t also shows that
the people here are prosperous in their
own affairs. and. therefore. are indulging in
home buying, something that does not take
place except in good times.
With such conditions 1t Is but natural to
conclude that all the activities and institu-
tions of the city are coming In for a share
Of the general good fortune and that there
fore the securities which in a measure at
least represent what is being done In a cor
porate capacity ought to be enhanced in
value
1t is believed that this is tho idea that
underlies the market and that has held 1t
up during the period that is now thought
| to be coming to end. Otherwise. except
for large intrinsic values. it would have
been impossible to hold the market practi-
| ce.lly unchanged for so long period Of gen.
eral inactivity.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. September 22.-condi-
tions on the cloth market during the week
are little changed. Trade was not animated
as buyers still held aloof. Dhooties and
shirtings had inquiries for Indian account.
but the offers were too low for acceptance.
China did nothing. but South American and
Mediterranean orders for miscellaneous
cloths were on a fairly large scale. The
home trade continued to be satisfactory and
manufacturers generally adopted a firm at
titude Yarns were strong. with a satisfac-
tory turnover. Supplies OF fine American
COPS were small, and for these full rates
were realized, while the coarser grades had
better attention.

Bank Directors.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The president Of one Of our fashioned
financial institutions. whose directors are
accustomed to giving close. personal atten-
ton to the business, in the old-fashioned
way, recently complained of the difficulty
of getting the right men to undertake this
duty. Everybody Is too busy nowadays
Thus a bank president who would like to
have some one to share his responsibility
is often obliged to take the whole burden
on his own shoulders There are plenty
of men willing to be bank directors for the
honor of the thing or for the advantage
to their own financial standing. but those
who would be really useful associates in a
board of direction are usually too much
occupied with their own affairs to take on
the duty Of a personal supervision Of the
affairs Of a corporation.
In old times the typical Philadelphia
merchant retired from business when he
had amassed a competence of $4,000 or
500, 900. invested at least part Of it in
bank stock and thenceforth devoted his
attention to taking care OF his invest
ments If made director of the bank,
that became the business Of his life. Bank
ing was simple and deliberate business.
The directors met around the board on
Discount day." considered every applica-
ton for a loan. exchanged information or
opinion upon the credit of the applicant and
the value of his securities and granted or
refused the loan on their united judgment
Then they went out on the street. visited
other bankers. inquired into every mans
affairs and kept themselves posted upon
the status Of every debtor. There are some
old fashioned institutions where something
Of this same carefulness still obtains, but
the business of banking has grown too
complex and too rapid for any such
teisurely system. A man who wants loan
wants it on the moment: he cannot walt
for the next board meeting: or another
bank wants an accommodation, which must
be arranged at once: some one must be
authorized to make the quick decision.
Thus the one-man power has become \
practical necessity

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK. September 22-The dry
goods market holds steady. The linen mar
kets are very strong, foreign mills be-
ing sold ahead for the year 1907 and the
very top prices being asked for all iuporta-
tons. There Is a scarcity In burlaps in
this market. Domestic goods are firm and
in steady demand in small quantities. The
sales of print cloths in the past ten days
aggregate 10000 pieces.
Total imports of merchandise and dry
goods at the port of New York for the week
ending today were valued at ST, 1920.
Total imports of specie at the port OF
New York for the week ending today were
1888 silver and $13.s91 1878 gold.
Total exports of specie from the port OF

loans have widened. indicating that relief
thus far secured is not sufficient to prevent
further stringency.
Especially heavy requirements corverging
on the money market about the LIST OF Oc-
tober, including some large subscriptions to
new capital issues. add to the anxiety over
the future. Business and industry are so
unprecedentedly active in all lines that full
demand for money in commercial channels
is definitely assured. Opinion in Wall street
turns more and more to expected measures
of treasury relief for the money market
essential to avoid harmful pressure for

Surmises Over other Railway Plans.

Surmises over other changes in control
OF railroad systems to balance the Union
Pacific project have been of great variety.
The most obvious was that Pennsylvania
would receive Union Pacific holdings of
Atchison in return for its Baltimore and
Ohio stock Old reports of probable con-
troll of Erie as a connection for the Great
Northern are also revived. Stock market
gossip has provided pretty thoroughly for
similar connections for all the great trunk
lines and transcontinental routes. The
straint and caution of the speculative OPP
erations however has indicated the degree
of reserve with which the food of unau-
.horized rumors on the subject has been
received.
Further gold has been secured for New
York abroad under the operation of the aid
by treasury deposits with national banks
against gold engagements. But the volume
OF engagements diminished from last weeks
figure. Rising money rates In all foreign
markets and the depletion OF available
gold supplies have been the growing OBJ

has been a grand joke.
In Washington Depew is the go
between of the vested interests to
the public. Always genial, always
happy, always receptive, he has
presented a smiling face to many
a frowning situation.
He is not a great statesman and
he has always been more the agent
or attorney of the money power
than a financial magnate himself.
In his senatorial history he has
never stood for any measure which
has had for its purpose the ad-
vancement of the conditions of the
many as against the advancement
to greater gains of the few. His
official record is a sickening disap-
pointment. Pensions? Yes, many
of them. Special appropriations
Yes, many, Any great general
measures to help US all on our way?
NO!
Not Patrick Henry.
They tell of Depew's first ap-
pearance as an orator in the SEN
ate. 1t was a lively year. The
law grinding machinery was clog
ged with business. Depew was
scheduled to make his first speech.
At last, said Washington, the ac-
complished after dinner wit is to
speak seriously. The gallery was
filled. Women came in droves.
Every senator was at his desk. The
press gallery was crowded. Depew
spoke, He read statistics and fol-
lowed with generalities. He said
little. From that day he has never
had what they call a full gallery.
Depew is man of the commit
tee rooms. Perhaps there, in the
odor of fine perfectos and asso-
ciates with kindred spirits, he
speaks his mind. We cannot know.
for turnkey bars US out, that we
may not see and hear what play
our public servants are at.
Rich in Soothing Qualities.
Depew could not be excelled for
defensive purposes" Even with a
| knowledge of his real mission in
Washington, newspaper men have
always been inclined to spare him.
1t was human for the reporters to
do so. He never turned them
down" 1t seems mean, veen now,
to question the motives of the man
