LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The important development today in
the general financial situation was the
news from New York that the Clearing
House Association had decided upon the
issue of certificates. AS a measure OF re-
lief. which will enable the banks to pro-
vide for the necessities OF their custom
ers. and for the protection Of the weaker
members of the association, this action IS
looked upon as in line with the policy OF
conserving the interests Of all.
There has not been an issue Of such
certificates since the year 1873. They
pass current only among the members of
the association, consisting of national
banks Any bank taking such certid-
Gates. which are issued upon the seeuH-
ties and the commercial paper held by
the bank, can use them to pay its debit
balance at the clearing house.
The rate of interest charged is usually
8 per cent, or enough to secure the with
drawal OF the certificates as soon as pos
sible.
The meeting of the stock exchange to-
day was devoid of interest. and in addl-
ton to the fact of the Saturday hah
holiday there was also the general condi-
ton which has served to lessen the vol
ume Of business and which was still IN
operation today.
Mr.. Thomas L. Hume, the president OF
the Washington Stock Exchange, who mas
been a potent influence in determining the
policy pursued by the exchange In recent
days and which has met with general ap-
prevail. in talking today with a representa-
tive of The Star, said:
THE local situation is in nowisa anale-
gous to that in New York. Our securities
are strong, have fiuctuated only moderate
ly and are in modest demand.
Our various business interests are ire
mendously prosperous, and railroad re-
ceiptS are increasing enormously; our IN
trinsie values materially exceed our mar
ket values, and our banks are conducted
along wholesome and healthy lines by
sound, sane and conservative men.
Il fully believe the turn in New York
has come. Doubtful financial institutions
are now in the hands of sound ana con-
sentative interests; stock, exchange houses
are accepting business for cash only, and
the curtailing of speculation possibly will
materially reduce pressing liquidation
AT recent special meeting OF the
board of directors Of the Federal Ameri-
can Banking Corporation, three new d.
reCtors were added to the board
Messrs. George w. Chamberlin of Har-
risburg, Pa; John H. Fisher and Lee l..
Herrell of this city.
The board of directors, in addition to
the. gentlemen named, is composed OF
Messrs. Harry P. Huddleson, r. w
BeaH. Cornelius Eckhardt, William T.
Griffith, John w. Holcombe and Gustays
Bender. There will be fifteen members
to make up the full board.
The board of directors have planned a
large advisory board, to be made up OF
forty or fifty members to give advice
and to map out the general policy of the
institution. The following ntlemen
have been selected by the board OF d.
rectors to serve on this board:
P. c. Johnson, William Conradis, Capt.
R. B. Boyle and Leo Kolb.
The directors expect soon to open the
bank for business in the building corner
18th and G streets.

MURRAY AGAIN AT HIS DESK
Chief Executive Of B. and O. Re
sumes Duties at Baltimore.


BALTIMORE. October 26.-Mr Oscar G..
Murray. president of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, was in his offices yester-
he went abroad. 1t was a very busy day
for Mr.. Murray, his entire time being
spent in conferences with the heads of de-
partmentS. He expressed himself as be-
ing anxious to know just what the Balti-
more and Ohio has been doing since he has
been away. and will leave this morning on
special train, with other officers Of the
road, on an inspection trip which will in
clude the Baltimore and Ohio Southwest
ern.
Mr. Murray expressed himself in a very
optimistic vein regarding the financial sit
uation. I'VE all hope that the worst is
over" said Mr.. Murray, land we may
look for an improvement before long. The
business outlook Is good. While as a re-
suit of the present financial disturbances
some reaction may be felt in general lines
of commercial activity, yet I do not think
1T will be as severe as some people i'm
agine. / have been away for two months,
and have not made as close study of the
situation as those at home, but, in my
opinion. conditions are not going to be-
come as disastrous as they were a few
years ago, when the country passed
through a period of depression"
Mr. Murray stated that it Is unlikely
that the Baltimore and Ohio will order any
new equipment this year. 1t owns 80 900
freight cars and is in a good position re-
cars for our own business. growing as 1t
is" said Mr.. Murray, ''if We could only
keep them on our own lines The number
which we receive from other roads does
not make up for those of our own which
are being used elsewhere"

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. October $3.50 far as
can be learned the developments over
night do not indicate any fresh trouble
today OF striking character, and II none
comes to hand, it is believed that at the
opening of business next week the whole
situation will appear much more favor
able Representatives OF the institutions
from which the Withdrawals have been
most pronounced during the last few
days are confident that the number of
depositors wishing to take out their
money today will be much smaller than
on yesterday and the day before. and
that by Monday the tendency will be to
deposit rather than to draw out funds.
The action of the savings banks
presidents in taking advantage OF the
sixty-day clause with respect to the
payment Of depositors has provoked
both favorable and unfavorable criticism.
On the whole. however, 1t is believed that
the action was wise. It Is understood
also that the savings bank officials are
confident that long before the expiration
of the sixty days the situation will have
improved to such an extent that they
win be fully warranted in resembling this
action and in meeting all demands as
usual The action was taken wholly as
precautionary one and to help relieve the
pressure on the clearing house banks.
There was naturally some adverse
criticism over the rate charged for the
money loaned by the pool yesterday for
stock exchange purposes, but In some
circles 1t Is believed that the rate was
fixed at a high figure for the purpose OF
discouraging speculative transactions on
margins and to compel operators to take
I'D their securities far as possible. 1t
Is the prevailing opinion that the market
will continue to show strength as the
general situation improves. but that
