ever is at this time of the year
Mr.. Chattell and other prominent fnan-
ciers of the city asserted that the finan-
cial troubles in New York did not involve
Chicago in the slightest degree. They de-
clared that Chicago investors had for
some time been chary of investing In Sc
curit!es offered in Wall street. and had
made 1t a practice, il they bought, to buy
only on declines. The result has been.
they declared, to place the financial insti-
buttons OF this city in position where
it cannot be disturbed by the present con-
dtions in New York.

Bank said
1.-The Chicago banks are absolutely
sound. They are not in the habit of
handling undigested or undigestible Sc
curities. We can use all OF our money in
