LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS

The statement made by Mr.. Justice
Brewer in the course Of q speech yester-
day in New York. in which he virtually
charges the President with nourishing
an ambition for third term. was largely
discussed in financial circles here today.
where. speaking generally, the feeling
toward the President is very much as it
Is reported to exist in financial circles
elsewhere.
1t Is. also said that the practice of
charging to the White House most. il not
all Of the responsibility for the present
condition In the financial world, has now
extended beyond those engaged in those
lines Of business. and Is being taken up
by people generally, who are beginning
to feel the reduction in business and the
pressure from the other circumstances of
tine time.
These indications of change In pubic
sentiment toward the President are natu-
rally of much interest at this time, for
the reason, no doubt, it is felt by such
persons that about his policies, and espe-
cially his ability to carry them out, centers
much OF what will be done by Congress
at. the coming session. AS financial news
anything relating to change in the influ-
ence with the people of this country of the
President Is without doubt of prime inn
portance.
All of the men, however, who are en-
SdSSu III DuSlIieSS lLdl ID more OE 1cSS
financial. especially those in this city, are
not opposed to the policies of the Presi-
dent, although there may be some cTiti-
cism as to methods. 1t Is believed by
some who have given the recent course
of events considerable study that there
has been a liquidation going on in other
assets besides those which are recorded in
the ledgers of business concerns AS one
result of that liquidation. it is thought
there Is now higher ethical standard for
business. and some rather radical altera-
lions in ideas about methods of promoting
Industrial and other enterprises.
At the same time 1t is realized that it
is not Congress or politics that will bring
about return to normal conditions in
the business world What is needed in
the opinion of everybody. is a return of
confidence on the part of banks as we'll
as of the people who do business with
banks. and then there would not be as
much talk about the scarcity of either
money or business.
In the early part of the coming month
"a dividend of ~ per cent will be paid to
holders of the stock of the MeFgenthaler
Company. OF this amount 212 per cent is
the regular quarterly dividend and 5
per cent is called extra, but it has been
paid for the past five years. The business
of the company, according to the figures
furnished, shows large gain in earnings
during the month of October.
The recent transactions in the. STOCK
show the effect of the times. Today odd
lots sold for 1856.
