FINANCIAL SQUALL OVER,
OPINION OF GERMAN BANKERS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct 27.-The violent financial
squall in the United States is regarded
here as having passed as quickly as it
came up. The great Berlin banks are
assuring their customers that the crisis
which for a week has gripped New York
is relaxing and that conditions in America
are so sound that no deep-seated conse-
Quences can follow.
A representative of powerful Holland
financial interests who happens to be here
has sent word to Amsterdam that now Is
the time to invest In American securities
and many Berlin brokers sent their let
ters to customers advising them to go in
for American stocks now while they are
under a pressure that is but temporary.
1t is said that large offers made in
Europe by American holders have caused
American exchange to rise to $426, a rate
which the Vossische Zeitung's financial
reviewer says is without precedent The
demand for transfers, which was due
chiefly to the fact that many investors
bought American securities in New York
in the belief that low prices offered un-
usual inducements was so heavy that
many applicants failed to get accommo-
dated.
The market assumes that the English
bank rate will be advanced on Monday
which will be followed Immediately by an
advance by the Reichs banks.
While the crisis has shaken Germany's
confidence in number of American bonds
and individual undertakings, there is a
widespread conviction that it cannot lead
to a protracted period of prostration. The
German financial public possesses large
store of optimism regarding the economi-
cal resources of the great republic
which the mismanagement of financiers
is unable to outweigh.

PITTSBURG FINANcIERS
TAKE OPTIMISTIC VIEW
BY Associated Press.


PITTSBURG, Oct 27-The financial sit
uation in Pittsburg, notwithstanding a
number of surprising and unexpected oc-
currences during the past few days, is
viewed optimistically at the opening of
the week. by men prominent in financial
and business circles.
The conditions here have quickly righted
themselves owing to the admirable con-
fidence of the people in the financial in
stitutions and that affairs are progress
ing normally. These statements are con-
tanned in an announcement issued by the
Chamber of Commerce, clearing house
association, and individual bankers and
business men.
Whether Clearing house certificates will
be issued here depends upon the New
York situation. Should conditions there
become more acute the action of issu-
ing certificates will be taken to protect
local institutions.
AS to resuming operations in the stock
exchange tomorrow. there are several
opinions. No official announcement has
been made. and the matter will not be
definitely decided until tomorrow.

CHICAGO BANKERS DISCOURAGE
SPECULATION IN STOCKS
By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct N-Financiers and
bankers of Chicago tonight look forward
with hopefulness to the probable continu-
ance of the present financial solvency of
Chicago banks and trust companies, bas-
ing their expectations on the protective
measures taken by the Clearing House
association last night in ordering the is
suance of certificates and the putting in
force of the legal notice that may be re-
quired for the withdrawal of savings ac-
counts.
The Clearing House association met to-
day to discuss the possible developments
In the present money stringency, and to

Deposits Withdrawn

The events in New York resulted in
drawing down the deposits of banks, thus
diminishing the very basis OF the volume
of credits. The consequence was Vlo-
lent construction of credits which proved
a blight on values where it touched. The
task confronting the financial generals N
New York was to limit as far as possible
the field of operation of these constric-
tions of credit.
The secretary of the treasury came into
co-operation with the great capitalists OF
the country to supply resources for NEST
ing the crisis.
The requirement was heavy one,
owing to the contagious nature of the
financial fight, and the general move
ment which followed among banking
institutions to fortify themselves even
hevond their needs. Millions of ready
money had to be thrown into the vaults
of the trust companies which were
sustaining a run, while demands were
made on the banks by other trust com
panies, which had funds on deposit
with the banks.
AS the great depository center OF the
country New York banks are subject
to similar demands from all over the
country during a period of threatening
money conditions. The consequence
was that credit in certain departments
of the money market was practically
paralyzed. This was true OF opera
tfons in the stock market, where a
condition of deadlock had developed by
Thursday, which was only broken by
the Offering of $25,0O0 900 on call when
the traders were in greatest need
of it.
FURRY Not Ended
Tt is not expected that affairs will
subside Immediately into placidity
after after so violent an upheaval:
The looping OF offending members Of
the financial body has made wide
progress, and removal OF an offend
ing factor in the banking situation is
viewed with qualification by all friends
of solidity and safety in banking.
Even greater qualification is felt
over the opening of the way to reform
New York trust company situation.
Orderly cooperation and mutual as
sistance among these powerful insti-
tutfons are in themselves important
achievements and notable additions to
the fortffying of the whole financial
fabric These measures have sprung
up full grown out of the weeks situa-
tiop.
Provision for systematic information
of the actual condition of the trust
companies and periodical reports of
this to their own central authority, in
the manner of clearing house commit
tees among tne DdnhS, are sdleBudI uS
that every banker in the country will
regard with satisfaction.
The close of the week found conf
denee maintained in the efficiency of
the measures adopted. The Saturday
bank statement, while reporting a
small dehcit below the legal reserve
requirements, exhibited no such de-
pletion OF available banking resources
IS would threaten present paralysis.
The inauguration Of gold imports from
london is regarded as certain to have
important effect on relaxation of
strain.

Try it, as il doesn't cost much TO make
and it is said to be absolutely harmless

Get the following harmless ingredients
from any good pharmacy: Fluid Tx.

it will fail to cure permanently.
These are all harmless, everyday

Number Employees and Average Wages.


The foregoings tatement shows
the lead production of st. Francois
county from 1893 to to 1906 in.
elusive, the average wages paid,
average prices of lead aud number
of employees. These figures are
official, having been taken from
the State Mine Inspector s, report.
The figures for 1906 are inccm.
plete, as all of the operators re-.
ports are not in yet, though the
above figures will not be changed
very much.
The Eastern District is composed
of the following counties: Cam
den, Carter, Cole, Crawford, Frank.
lin, Howell, Iron, jefferson, Madi-
son, Miller, Moniteau, Oregon,
Ozark, Clark, Phelps, Shannon,
st. Francois, Washington, Wayne,
Webster and Wright. From these
counties come an annual prodnc-
ton of lead. zinc, iron, baryta,
cobalt, copper, nickle. marble, ce.
ment, limerick, building stone
and a variety of valuable clays.
For the year 1905 st. Francois
county produced 81, S04 ,7l9. The
year of 1906 will show 81, 231, III,
an increase of So, 426, 452. As is
well known, St. Francois county
is the greatest lead producing
county in the State. The extern
sive improvements, new mills, new
shafts. thousands of acres of new
ly optioned lands and the com.
panies spending thousands of dot.
lars prospecting each year-but
far more in the year 1906 than ever
before, as there have been in this
county from 60 TO 20 diamond
drills running during the past
warrants the belief that ST.
Francois county will in 1907 pro.
duce 80 per cent of the lead pro.
duced in Missouri.
Our neighboring county of Madi-
son, while it is not as large a pro-
Queer as st. Francois county, on
account of the discovery of copper
in paying quantities, will no doubt
increase the value of the produc-
ton in that county, copper being
worth 25cents per pound, while
lead is worth 6 cents per pound.
The North American Mining Com
pany has erected large snelters for
the handling of copper ore. and
claim to have it in large quantities.
Should this prove true, Madison
county will in 1907 show up much
more value in production than ever
heretofore. The value of pro.
duction of Madison county in 1906
was $772,571, the figures being
not quite complete.
