concerns who were discredited by the
operations of their officers; and also
to the fact that the prices of stocks
and securities, which form the basis
of such a large proportion of New
York loans, are now the lowest they
have been for many years, while
among the country banks just the
opposite is the case. A very small
proportion of their loans are based on
collateral security. Mercantile, man
ufacturing, mining and agricultural
operations are not only now very ac-
tive and the price of all commodities
strong, but there is an active demand

carrying these loans, and within 60

is no danger. The severe stringency
of the money market is alone re-
sponsible for the Westinghouse diff
ficulties. The solvency of the en-
barrassed companies is not question
ed, as the concerns at present are en-
Toying the largest amount of busi-
ness known in their careers. Inabil-
ity to secure funds to pay og matur-
ing loans caused the embarrassment.
Tonight the local situation is said to
be in better condition than for some
time.
AS precautionary measure, how
ever, Senator Knox, in a telephone
conversation with Secretary Cortel-
you, requested that government de-
posts in Pittsburg National banks
be increased. Today advices were
received that the secretary had ar
ranged to place additional funs in
local institutions The amount is
not known. That the local banks
are in good condition was shown to
day when it became public that the
Diamond National bank had sent yes.
terday 100000 in gold to New York
institutions. Several other local
banks took similar action.

ed receivers for the Iron City Trust

resent the company as having assets
exceeding $4,0OO,O0O and liabilities to

The attorney for the trust COM.
pany said tonight:
There seems to be no doubt of the
solyency of the company and of it's
ability to pay depositors in full.
This action was precipitated by
the appointment today Of receiver
for the various Westinghouse inter-

board of directors and stockhoid-

With the small amount due de-

sets it is believed that the closing OF

Washington, Oct % Senator Nc
Cumber has returned from his trip
to North Dakota and has begun the
campaign for the passage of his ma
stional grain inspection bill during
the coming congress. In anticipa-
ton of the arrival of President Roose-
velt from his hunting trip this week,
Mr.. McCumber is gathering a lot of
detail on the subject for presentation
to the chief executive in the belief
that some mention will be made of
the subject in the annual message to
congress in December.
Senator McCumber has sounded
Secretary Wilson and other officials
of the department of agriculture on
the subject and found them favor
ably inclined toward a national in
spection law. A step in that direc-
ton has already been made by the
department in the blishment of
testing stations at Minneapolis and
other grain centers, and it is the be
lief of the senator that these stations
could be extended understanding
could be expanded to the extent ne
cessary to carry out a federal grain
inspection law. Re Al
The senator has high hopes of pass
ing his bill during the Sixtieth con-
gress, but if he does not, he will
keep on trying until some law has
been passed, Just as he did with the

from New York are that all banks
got through the day better than they
expected and that there is now en-

the situation is well in hand
There is every disposition among

Il New York, NJ. Y, Oct 90. There
was sharp turn of sentiment in fnan
cial quarters late today, renewed con-
fidence in local banking institutions
taking place of the panicky feeling
that has threatened solvent houses
and demoralized the stock exchange
for the last few days.
Tonight those fnanciers whose de-
liberate opinions are most highly es-
teemed by the public expressed the
conviction that the worst was over
and that out of the present chaos a
condition more stable than has for
some time existed was rapidly shaping
itself S
Many banking men who had labored
almost day and night that the integ-
rity of New York's financial institu-
tions might be maintained, went home
early this evening satisfied. that the
suspected houses 8 which had been
found worthy of support had been
fortified against incipient runs or 9TH
er contingencies. Serious minded men
who have met the storm in a sober
mood left their offices smiling and
chatting and with a general bearing
that spoke volumes to those who are
accustomed to read news of the street
in the faces of the big men.
Several factors contributed to this
change of feeling: first was a deter
mination reached today by men Of
national influence in the financial
world and whose probity is unques-
j toned, to, restore confidence, insure
safety and prevent a. panic. Gonspic-
| uous among these were ]. Pierpont
Morgan and James stillman, president
of the- National City bank.
Throughout the day there were con-
ferences at the Office Of j. P Morgan
& Co. and while guarded statements
oaaay of what was done at these gather
ings were given out during business
hours, that such men were comforting
linked with their known personal
standing and financial resource, did
much to allay fear for the future.
News Of these conferences quickly ran
through the financial district, aalayed
the fears of the extremely nervous and
aided the stock market where inter-

was quickly ended here today by the

Mr.. Cortelyou received many callers
and all who conferred with him sub

i Another potent factor in bringing
about a better feeling and return of
saner sentiment and improved con-

could easily secure the road If its citi-
zens care to do so. But that's the
question that is bothering the COM
mittee: Does Vinita really want the
road?
The plan Of the Coffeyville & Mem
phis is to secure enough money from
Coffeyvill and Centralia and Viaita or
Alton to pay for grading the road, for
which it is expected $780, 900 would be
required, Then, with the grade com
pleted, it would be an easy task to
bond the road for the S500,0OO neces-
sary to lay the -ails and equip the
line.
IL is believed Coffeyyille and Cen
tralIa would both prefer to see the
road built TO Vinita instead OF to Al
ton. Coffeyville would secure better
Railroad connections to the south at
yinita. and Centralia would secure a
line to the county seat Of the county
in which she is located. But of course
the directors OF the road VIII pc gov
erned not by sentiment but by imam
cial considerations entirely, and VII

Vinita outbids Alton.
