was started by the firm showing Of the
Liverpool market, where spot sales were
the heaviest Of the season, and was en-
couraged by reports that the Lancashire

dictions OF a more urgent demand from

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Whatever may be the individual views
in regard to the Presidents message.
there is no question b that the stock
| market Is stronger then it was yesterday
both in this city and in New York. 1t
does not follow that this is due to the tone
or the. recommendations Of the Chief
executive. but the facts are mentioned
as perhaps having a significance consider
ed by themselves or together.
The fact is that in financial circles.
speaking generally, the attitude toward
the President as being largely responsible
for the present situation in the business
world has not materially modified in re-
cent days, although here and there man
is found who thinks perhaps there were
other contrtbutory causes. There have
been no recent manifestations OF the
progress In the change of public sentiment
toward the President which was noted as
having taken place .as the effects OF the
suspension in business activities began to
spread outside Of merely financial circles.
1t was conjectured at the time that pos
sibiy this change in public opinion IN re-
gard to Mr.. Roosevelt was so sudden that
it might not be permanent. No doubt TINS
will be largely determined by the progress
made in getting back to normal cond''
tons. What is looked upon as a step IN
that direction was taken today when the
controller issued call for report OF the
condition of the national banks OF the
country up to the close OF business yes
terday.
In anticipation Of the issue of such q
call in the near future 1t is supposed that
some of the country banks wanting to
make as good an appearance of being
strong In cash as possible began to buy
currency In New York. which accounts
for the rise in the premium which took
place yesterday. The advance was par
TALLY lost today and the indications are
will end in the premium being entirely
wiped out.
1t is expected the showing made by the
banks in this city will be one Of strength.
But that is not surprising. as the sttua-
ton here has been effected comparatively
little by what has taken place throughout
the country. The influence here has been
mainly sympathetic, but all the same
business in all departments has been
cal securities the market has been at a
standstill and low levels have been
reached
The reaction from this condition has
set in and progress toward an improved
state of affairs has been made. For ex-
ample, at today's meeting of the Stock
Exchange perhaps the feature of the
trading which, of course, has not as
yet attained any great volume. as the
buying is still confined to those who have
the cash, was the demand for small lots
Of the preferred stock Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company.
A better price was paid than was the
case in previous days, as no sales were
made for less than 63. Included in ile
list of sales at that figure were two quo
tation lots of fifty shares each. AS this
stock pays 5 per cent on par 1t yields at
62h, per cent, which. of course, makes
it attractive as an investment to those
who have the money.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE..

The Chamber of Commerce ought
to have the cooperation of every bus
mess man in the city Of Ncwberry,
and in the county as well, for the
work undertaken by this body and
which it is now pushing forward,
looks not only to the interests of
Newberry, but to the interests of the
whole county. a notable instance of
this is the plan inauguraged by the
commerce committee to improve the
road to the steel bridge by securing
the assistance of the people living
along the road. Certainly this work
could not result in more good to any
body than to these people. 1t would
be of direct daily benefit to them,
and we are glad that the committee
is meeting with encouragement in
this work.
Within the next several days a
committee will wait upon the people
Of the city and lay before them n
plan to secure free mail delivery
within the city limits. Ncwbcrry has
experienced wonderful growth with
in thc past several years, and by
concerted action free delivery could
be easily secured. Other towns of
Newbcrry's size have already sccur-
ed free delivery, and we hope to sec
free delivery in Newbcrry within the
very near future. Whether or not it
will be secured is with the business
men.
Other important work being under
taken and pushed forward was re-
viewed at the meeting on Tuesday
night, and is spoken OF in the local
columns Of this issue of The Herald
and News.
The Chamber of Commerce now
has about eighty members. 1t ought
to have at least 175. Newbcrry is the
best town in the state. 1t can be
made better if all her people will pull
together towards that end.
