RIDGELY NEW PRESIDENT
BUTTE BANK ATTACHED FOR
BALANCE OF NOTE.

New York. Oct. 1s-While by no means
black Friday this was far from be
ing a fair day in Wall street and when
trading closeI genuine satisfaction was
expressed that a short Saturday and a
Sunday made a lull during which many
things were possible of adjustment.
The prompt action of the clearing house
committee in eliminating the Mercantile
National bank as a disquieting factor
should result by Monday i'm pretty well
clearing the atmosphere. Today. however,
this influence was offset by frequent ru-
mors that at the committee meeting at
which the solvency of the Mercantile had
been established there had been a further
discussion in which the names of other
banking institutions were involved The
clearing house committee minimized con
sequent fears that the conditions of the
banks generally was satisfactory. though
the qualification was made that in some
instances changes in the directorate of
other banks might be necessary. 1t was
insisted there was nothing alarming in the
local banking situation.
New Low Records.
On the stock exchange the metals and
affiliated stocks continued their down
ward movement. carrying with them the
general list, particularly railway shares.
The selling was heavy. and the market
feVerish throughout was susceptible to
vague influences. Call money touched 10
per cent an hour before the close. Smelt-
ing brooks 9Ss selling down to 6114. Anal
gamated Copper broke as dropping to

records. as did a long list of other prop
critics. including such prominent railway
issues as Union Pacific. st. Paul. Great
Northern. Northern Pacific and Reading.
Support and short covering assisted a
closing rally after various trouble rumors
had failed to materialize.
Thirty railroad and industrial stocks
closed today at the average price of S5l4,
against yesterdays S67s. The same stocks
a month ago averaged 955s and a year ago

Change In the Mercantile.
The change in the management of the
Mercantile National bank. the presidency
of which was resigned by F. Augustus

day. Following its Investigations of the

committee today extended the bank cash
assistance but as a condition precedent
to this demanded the designations of the
entire board of directors.

AMONG THE POLITICIANS.

The first result of the Democratic
declaration against fusion in the third
fourth and fifth precincts will be the
removal of the name of F. S. FernstrOm,
Democrat, from the Republican ticket in
the third A meeting of the third pre-
cinct Republican committee has been
called for tonight to take this action.
The name of l.. E. Hall is very likely
to come off the Republican ticket in the
fourth. notwithstanding the fact that the
Republicans have already filed their
ticket with Halls name on it. The COM
mittee had the power to nominate Hall
and it has the power to remove him at
any time up to eight days before the
election
Thus the fine scheme of the Republican
tricksters to force fusion upon the Dem
ocrats in all the precincts has come to
naught.

Remarkable Increase in Savings
Bank Deposits.

The Island Pond Herald, in comment
ing on the remarkable growth of deposits
in the Hyde Park Savings Bank, brings
out several goodreasons for this growth.
1t says:
A special feature of this institution is
that it gives local patrons the preference,
it's loans are in Vermont. Thus it has
not only advanced public interest, but
has done safe and prosperous business
since its institution, eighteen years ago.
The assets only last week passed the
million-dollar mark and, we repeat, not
single cent of it invested out of YER
mont. In addition to this has neverlost
a dollar by poor note. The progress
sive increase of deposits year after year
has been remarkable. This condition of
things must be satisfactory in the ex-
IRENE to the energetic president who is
recognized as a synonym of honest
square dealing, who possesses the practi-
cal qualities essential to success in all his
undertakings, and withal is a liberal
minded citizen, ever interested in village
town and state Improvement. We write
from knowledge and personal observa
| ton.
This Bank pays 4 per cent. compound
ed semi-annually on deposits of 500 O
more.
