There is No Shortage Of Cash
Chicago Banks Kick on Clearing House Rule Tie
Ing UP Depesits--They Say They are Ready to
do Business on Cash Basis---Deposits
are on the Increase and Bankers
See no Danger.

Chicago, November 11.-Even last
week some of the strongest Chicago
banks, to say nothing of depositors
and correspondents, had begun to
chafe at the Chicago Clearing House
rule which tied up practically all de-
posits in the banks. The first bank
er to publicly express himself, how
ever, was John j. Mitchell, of the
illinois Trust & Savings bank in which
institution there are $4,000 deposi-
tors. He was quoted as having gone
straight to the point, declaring: Sew
eral bankers who have done business
in this city for many years were not
In favor Of the clearing house certi-
fcate plan at the outset. However, as
member of the clearing house, this
bank was bound by its rule. We are
now ready to get back to cash basis
the quicker the better it will please
US. Fewer people are asking for cash
than is true on average days. Many
are making deposits. Our cash is ac-
cumulating but We cannot draw on it
because of the clearing house rule.
AS to clearing house credit checks,
the situation does not warrant their
issuance. There is no existing crisis
that warrants any such move as that,
and we should n t do anything that
the conditions do not warrant
The seven tons-$3, SOC, ,000- Of
British gold that in Chicago has help
ed to relieve the currency famine, was
in III plain, stout wooden boxes.
Each box contained about $4,000
worth of gold coin and bars, but might
have been mistaken for box of bab-
bit metal. About Al boxes we're
brought over by the Kronprinzessin
Cecillic and the rest by the Lusitania,
at top speed. The actual deliveries of
these interesting shipments were at
tended to with no especial care, but
as they were lugged in the bank OIL
cials eyed the procession of boxes
with keen interest although at that
moment there were over sixteen tons
of gold, about $S,000,000, in the sub
treasury. To see the masses of cur
rency in the vaults of the big banks,
bales of it, sacks of it and boxfulls Of
it, one had to wonder that any uneasi
ness had been felt. The addition of
$6,5OO,000 new currency which Chi
cago banks will issue will soon be
stacked up in those vaults, making a
most convincing exhibit. At the last
statement the cash resources of the
Chicago banks was $12S,552,155, a
sum which was not dreamed of in the
days Of Creoesus. Chicago has be-
come the center of currency supply for
great territory, however the ship
ments to out-oftown banks in No
vember 1905 having exceeded the re-
ceipts by about s1o,OOO,O0o. During
the seven months to September the
shipments exceeded the receipts by
$19,676,5S0 The uneasiness, follow
ing the Wall street smashes, is fast
subsding and the local bankers now
draw several long breaths in success
sion and sleep well O. nights.

JoANSoN'S MEAT
MARKET BURNS

Went Up in Smoke Early this
Morning. Loses Considerable
Meat and Practically all Of
His Accounts...lnsured for
$780, will Open Market Again
At Once
At about three o'clock this
morning, VIM. j hnson's meat
market, just west OF the post
office caught fire in a mysterious
manner and was completely
Quilted.
Owing to a change which is
being made at the electric light
plant, it was impossible to turn
on the alarm, and few knew of
the fire till later. The fire
laddies were routed out and
worked like troopers, continlng
the fire to the one building, and
saving the main structure. The
fixtures are a total loss, also
nearly all OF Mr.. Johnson's &C.
counts which were in the main
ledger, which was burned. Mr..
johnson had his petty ledger
at his home, SO saved some OF
the accounts. The refrigerator
was destroyed, and also a lot of
fine meat. Mr.. johnson had
butchered eight cattle yesterday,
but luckily they are still at the
slaughter house.
He had $500 insurance,
which does not nearly pay his
loss. Mr.. johnson informs the
Independent that he will make
arrangements at once to reopen
his shop. He will be located in
the new Tompkins block about
the first Of the year, but will fix
up temporary quarters ut once.

Last Years Anthracite Production.

Luzene county produced nearly 40
per cent. of the total production of an
thracite coal in the United States dur
ing the year 1906. Its output was
2S,26G,97S tons, as compared to 26,-
655,315 tors in 1905, and while there
is a decrease of 3SS,337 tons it does
not detract from Luzernes position as
the NEST fertile anthracite field in the
country. The decrease can be ae.
counted for principally by reason of
the suspension last April ana May,
when the miners We're idle for SIX
weeks while negotiations were going
