the hundreds who have gone out from
the institution. He spoke feelingly of

terests will ever be enshrined in his
heart.
A song entitled "Life," the music

ment. A basket of choice pink roses,

West on Certificate Basis.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-The financial
condition throughout the west was
today satisfactory to the banks and to
the majority of business interests. In
all the money csnters today the check
and certificate plan was used, and the
banks we're holding as closely as pos
slble to their issues of currency. The
banks in Kansas reported themselves
in strong position, many OF them
having fully so per cent in excess of
their ordinary legal reserve.
At meeting the Chicago Clear.
ing House association 1t was decided
that the situation was generally sat
istactory, and 1t was agreed that the
policy of paying large amounts In
checks should be continued for few
days.
Out of 400, 900 savings ,lepositors In
Chicago only 1900 made application
for Withdrawals of their accounts or
gave notice of a desire to withdrew.
The Clearing House issued to its
members $4,000, 600 In certificates.
The debit balances which had to be
settled with the certificates we're far
smaller than usual, approximating
barely 81, 5000

DEPOSITS Treasury Surplus.

Washington, Oct. 20. - President
Roosevelt was in conference with all
the embers of his cabinet except
Secretary Taft for more than two
hours today. The financial situation
VISA under consideration.
Secretary Oortelyou, although ad-
verse to making any public statement
on the subject, views the situation
with far greater equanimity than at
any time during the last ten days.
From the first he has not hesitated to
make immediate use of the great re-
sources of the treasury to check the
apprehension manifested last week.
During the last few days he has de.
posted Ia the National banks sum
approximately $50, ,000,0 and since
early in September, when the secre
tary began his weekly distribution,
nearly 10000, 600 have been deposit
ed, which brings the amount of pub
lie funds now in the National banks
up to over 1915, 600, 600, of which
about Sl2, 500, 900 has been deposited
to the credit of the government dis
bursting officers
During President CIeveland's first
term very large amounts of public
funds were deposited in the National
banks for the declared purpose of re-
iieviDg the treasury OF burdensome
surplus, but never before have such
large sums been placed with deposito-
ry banks to avert financial trouble.

FOOdstutf's TO BE Cheaper.

Chicago, Oct. 20. Relaxation from
the strain of high prices in foodstuffs,
which will soon undergo a reduction
of approximately 10 per cent, was the
forecast made by local jobbers and
merchants tuday. Predictions credit
ed to Edward A. Cudahy, of Omaha,
who said his company had reduced
its prices 10 per cent, inspired Chica-
90 dealers to voice expressions calcul
ated to cheer the average consumer.
In some instances reductions are
looked for within few days, but
there is no general move just now to
pat lower prices into effect.
With the proposed cut In meat
comes the announcement that the
price of butter soon will reach point
which will take that commodity out
of the. luxury class, where 1t long has
been placed.
According to Daniel Coyne, OF the
commission firm of Coyne Bros, but.
ter now selling at 26h cents wholesale
will reach Is cents before the end oil
the week. Eggs according to Mr..
Coyne, soon will recede from their
present Wholesale price Of 25 cents per
dozen.
Local packers express no surprise al
the prediction made by Mr.. Cudahy,
some declaring that the general de.
crease in the price of meat may ex-
ceed 10 per cent. Louis +. Swift,
president of Swift & Co.. points to a
drop of 25 cents in cattle this week,
an indication that retailers should sell
cheaper.
