Plain Talks to Business Men
Concerning Sunday Advertising,

Is Sunday advertising as valuable to the ad-
vertiser as daily? Some merchants say not. Yet
consider a moment the Sunday habits of the
average American family regards the Sunday
newspaper. Think of your own family and of the
others you sometimes visit.
In the first place the paper is in the home all
day and during some part of the day every mem
Der of the family has time to go over it thoroughly
Furthermore, the women members of the
family have long made it a point to look for the
bargains offered in the Sunday paper.
So much for the readers side.
The Washington newspaper field is over
crowded on Sunday. Four papers are in it.
The advertiser must divide his business more
than he need on the week days. But there is no
good reason why he should be asked to pay more
to reach the same number Of people than on
week day
The rate per thousand circulation is the test
of the value offered, and that circulation is only
valuable which is within shopping reach of the
store
The Sunday Times gives the advertiser best
value Of all under this test
Then it should be The Sunday Times first
with him, and after that some other or others.

These flowers. as IN their causes. sleep.
Ask me no more whittier do stray
The golden atoms OF the day:

For In your sweet, dividing throat
She winters. and keeps warm her note
Ask me no more where those stars light
That downward fall in dead of night;
For in your eyes they SIT, and there
Fixed become. as in their sphere.
Ask ne no moro If east or west,
The phoenix builds her spicy nest;
For unto you at last she flies,
And in your fragrant bosom dies.

BANK RUNS ARE SUbS|D|NG

RELIEF MEASURES - BANK
NOTES INCREASE.

New York, Nov. 3. - The financial
situation was gradually clearing yes,
terday, without showing any striking
features. Runs on the banks and trust
companies are practically over. Mon
ey which was temporarily withdrawn
from banks subject to run is flowing
into the stronger banks, and currency
is being provided in most cases where
the demand for it is considered legiti-
mate.
Further engagements OF gold by Bos-
ton and other points have brought up

Prices on Exchange Firm.
Prices on the exchange were firm
during the early part of the day, and
did not yield seriously at any time.
The fact that the stock exchanges of
London and Paris were closed on ac-
count of All Saints day prevented any
comparison of quotations.
Balances with the clearing house
have settled down to normal condi-
tons, but there is still something of a
blockade in domestic exchange
through the unwillingness of New
York banks to pay currency on drafts
from other cities and the unwilling
ness of other cities to pay out their
currency upon drafts from New York.
The condition of affairs indicates a
continued pressure for currency rather
than a breakdown of credits, but rea-
sonable demands are being met for
regular customers of the banks.
Hasten Export Movement.
The possibility of fastening the ex-
port movement of wheat and cotton
still engages the attention of foreign
exchange dealers and also Of those
who endeavor to keep in touch with
the general situation. Doubt is ex-
pressed whether the secretary Of the
treasury will be able to carry out on
any considerable scale the project of
the New Orleans exporters for accept
ing cash at government fiscal agencies
abroad and transferring it by tele-
graph to points in this country, but
Secretary Cortelyou is understood to
be willing to make such deposits of
public money at cotton exporting
points as will to a considerable extent
relieve the strain.
Bank Notes Increase.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The monthly
circulation statement issued by the
controller Of the currency shows that
at the close of business Thursday the
total circulation of national bank notes
was 5000, 9S, 466, which is an increase
for the month of 1896, 625, and for
the year an increase of $26, sos, 4S1.
Controller Ridgely announced at the
close of business yesterday that ST.
$4,000 Of circulation notes had been
issued by the treasury yesterday to
various national banks Of the country.
This action by the banks was in re-
spouse to Controller Ridgely's circu-
lar suggesting the taking out of adj
ditional circulation notes by the ma
tional banks.

At Winnipeg has been seriously COM

gency on the American side Of the

grain men cannot borrow money from
the banks to carry wheat across the

must be paid for when it goes into
store at Fort William except to milling
companies. Cash wheat could not be
sold for the last three days.
