New York, Nov. G.-The genera
conditions of the financial situatio,
are favorable today. Runs on the
trust companies had practically ceas
ed under the encouraging influence
OF the support Of the trust company
committee; gold engagements We're
further increased, ,and the stock
market rose buoyantly in recognition
Of these conditions.
The announcement by President
King OF the Union Trust company
that an agreement had been reached
by which the Trust Company of Am
erica and the Lincoln Trust company
were to deposit their stock in the
hands of a committee of trust com
pany presidents and in consideration
of this, We're to receive all the SUP
port they, required, finally cleared the
air In regard TO the trust company
situation. Now that this is settled
1t is believed the situation will grad
ually simmer down, with the contin-
uous arrival Of gold, until the strin-
gency Is converted into plethora Of
reserve money In the banks, which
usually follows a crisis,
Additional gold engagements We're
announced today Of $4,000 This
brings up the total gold engagements
for America on the recent movement
tot S37, 100000 which would afford the
amount required for the Legal reserve
against the deposits OF $15N,000,000.

Thursday, there Is strong feeling
among conservative financiers here
the directors OF the Bank of England |
will be very reluctant to fix a rate
OF Discount which has not been touch |
ed since 1878. The strength of the
stock market was reflex of the i'm
proved feeling throughout the finan.
cial community. 1t is believed the
stock market has pretty wen dis.
counted the worst and that prices are
not likely to go much lower, even in
case of new disturbances. 1t is under.
stood that arrangements by which the
committee of trust company presi-
dents takes control Of the majority OF
the stock OF the Trust Company of
America and Lincoln Trust Company,
is only temporary device to re-es-
tablish confidence. What will be the
disposition of this stock has
not yet been seriously considered. but
il is certain the Trust company and
house committees will insist
that these companies pursue in the
future a policy of the strictest con
seryatism, and will not embark in
any underwritings not capable of be-
ing converted readily into cash.

Sudden Squall--victims All Mem
bers of Prominent Families

Bangor, Me-, July 10.-SiX young
men of a party of seven were drowned
In Penobscot bay1ate yesterday by the
capsizing Of the sloop Ruth e. Cum
mock. The victims were Harry Dugan,
aged Is; Amos Robinson, II; Raymond
Smith, 10; Roy Palmer. 10: Frederick
kingwall, 10, and William Vague, II.
OF the party all but Vague, who lived
Il South Brooksyille, belonged in
Bangor, ana recently went to the Her
sey Retreat at Sandy point to spend
the summer. They were invited by
William y. Vague of South Brooks
vile, an acquaintance of several of the
party, to take a sail in his boat to Isles
boro. They intended to return in he
evening.
The sloop had reached a point off
Castine when she was struck by a fierce
II d d squat and was capsized be-
fore anyone could shorten sail or bring
the sloop up in the wind. The water
poured into the boa as soon as the gun
vale went under, and her large amount
of ballast and lead keel Sent her to the
bottom of the bay within a few sec
onds.
Laurent ID. Hall, who Is a strong
swimmer. succeeded in clearing him
self from the laundering craft and
made a gallant attempt to swim to the
nearest point of land, miles distant.
He battled against the tide and the
rough water kicked up by the squat and
was several times on the point of Civ
Ing up the struggle. The accident was
observed by the pilot of the tug Bis
mark, which happened to be in the bay,
n the tug was able to reach Hall be-
fore he succumbed. He was given
stimulants on board and later was
landed on Sandy point.
The other members of the yachting
party were either poor swimmers or
could not swim at all. and gradually,
one by one. they disappeared before
help could reach them. None of the
bodies has been recovered.
When the squall struck the sloop one
Of the Bangor men was at the wheel.
Vague was engaged in attending to the
forward ropes. The boat was consid-
cred to he Il safe one and the accident
is attributed to the failure of the helms
man to bring her up into the wind
when the squall struck. All of the vic
TINS are members of prominent fami.
lies and were widely known in school
and college circles of this state.

CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are Formed-Trees' Curious
Blunt Roots,

The cypress knee is Il familiar object
but there are thousands Of northern
people who have never seen them, and
there are many southern people, too,
who have not seen them till hey
stumbled over them some dark night.
The knee is of solid wood, has no limbs
or leaves, is anywhere from six inches
to six feet in height, and its rounded
top and flattened sides give it very
much the shape of a human leg bent Mt
the knee till thigh and calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate name
of knee
For a number of years l was curious
as to what part the knees played in
the life of a cypress tree, writes u cor
respondent of Forest and Stream, for
they are part of its root system and do
not grow Independently. They were
not sprouts, trying to grow into trees,
for they never developed branches, and
the final conclusion was that their only
use was for people to stumble over.
How and why such useless appendices
to the tree were formed wa n mys-
terry until one day when drifting down
a deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp the secret
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots of some of the trees,
and roots in all stages of growth were
in sight. None of these roots was less
than two and one-half inches thick and
Of uniform size clear to their tips or
rather clear to their blunt ends, for
there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to grow
In soft mud, and they were all right
for that purpose, but when the blunt
end of a root encountered something
too hard to push through it zen or
buckled in the line of least resistance,
and this was generally toward the top
of the ground. and the continuing
growth of the root pushing the bend
further upward made the bend closer,
until finally the two arms of the bend
were close together and they grew to-
gether, with one sheet of bark inclos-
ing both.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Various Matters from Various
Standpoints.

Many State papers are making fine
tributes to their loyal constituencies as
desirable summer resorts. This is a
very laudable act. but, considering the
fact that such papers seldom reach out
side their local field, it can do little good
except to bolster up local pride. What
is needed is for some responsible and
comprehensive organization like the Ver-
mont Improvement society to take hold
of the outside advertising problem, and,
by intelligent and well placed publicity
in larger c%enters, set forth the attractions
of the state. And it is no task for an
amateur; no side issue to be taken up in
spare moments. 1t is a serious, needful
labor, in which the services of a first
class expert ought to be enlisted. And
towns, railroads, hotels, park proprietors
and amusement promoters ought to be
sufficiently interested to finance such an
organization properly and furnish it
with such an abundance of material and
local color that the business of systema-
tic exploitation would become one of Sc
lection, condensation and emphasis,
rather than laborious, statistical collec-
ton. By the way, is this un-financed
improvement society still dead Mont
