This is probably because Mr.. Hill imag-
ines that the steel trust will make all
the money in the world by the exercise
OF it's eight-year option on those ore
lands of his. Mr. Hill. while recognized
as a monstrous success in railroad con-
struction and operation. does not at
this moment rate high as a market oracle.
In published interviews he Is openly bear
ish on his own stocks, although not as
bearish as he was buliish on them when
Great Northern was above 800; Northern
Pacific above 200. A disgruntled and
broken former follower of Mr.. Hill. in dis
cussing the magnate. said: Jim Hill may
be great man. and he may go into his
tory as a monument of success. yet he
has ruined more men than the civil war.
The one best hope Of the stock market
is that it will become inordinately over
sold. An unwieldiy short interest Is de-
veloping in some Of the active specialties.
and the traders are getting themselves
into a position to be twisted. Their re-
lance is that liquidation will continue In
definitely and that they may be able to
cover shorts with the purchase Of real
stocks as the stuff comes out. Down to
date this theory has worked out.
Stockholders in some of the new cop
per companies are sad lot. With the
copper metal drug on the market under
10 cents and seemingly destined to go to
II, the outlook for a great majority Of
the new properties is about as bad as It
can well be. Some of the older mines
which have been favorites with the pub
lie for many years are becoming worked
out. and many Of the new ones cannot
produce copper under Is cents. On the
other hand. three or four new camps will
come to the front by reason Of ability to
mine copper at a cost not to exceed ) or
cents a pound in unlimited quantities.
Great fields are being opened in Alaska
which belong to this class, as well as
those in Utah and Arizona. When the
money situation loosens up there will
probably develop a stupendous demand
for copper at Is cents or under. There
will be enough to go around on that

| official statement Of the New York asso-
ciated banks was an improvement COM
pared with the exhibition of the previous
week. Though the cash decreased, the loss
thereof closely agreed with that which
was estimated upon the basis Of the
traceable movements during the week.
The required reserve was reduced by quite
an important amount through q decrease
in deposits. and the result showed a gain
in surplus reserves by a comparatively
substantial sum. The cash loss, as off,
cially disclosed by the statement. was
$656, 500.
General deposits fell of $10.655. 500 This
amount was. however. greater by four
and one third millions than the sum Of the
contraction on loans and the loss Of cash.
and. therefore. the statement made an
unusually bad proof. The required re-
serve was reduced $2.663.S75. deducting
from which the loss OF cash, as above,
left $2.007.375 as the increase in surplus
reserve to $4,655. $50.
those Of $3s. s.4s1600 public funds-which,
1t may be observed, were augmented by
$972, 100 during the week-the surplus Is
$13. OPT $50. Loans were contracted by
1866, 700. rejecting liQuidations OF specu-
lative accounts, as the result Of the gen.
eral decline in the stock market. 1t is
noteworthy that loans are now greater
than deposits by fifty-seven and one-third
millions, or the maximum OF the year. IN
1906 such maximum was sixty-two and

FINANCE AND TRADE IN
MARKETS OF THE WORLD
HEARDON 'CHANGE

During the past week announcement
was made of an increase In the dividend
paid annually by the Washington Loan
and Trust Company. short time ago
a similar announcement was made by
the American National Bank. and tomo--
row the National Metropolitan Bank
takes possession of It's fine new building.
The newest addition to the list of trust
companies OF the city is said by those
interested to be getting along In very
satisfactory style and progress is reported
in placing the stock of a recently organ
lied banking company.
With these evidences of an enlarged
scope as well as volume OF business and
the very promising condition of the ex-
listing financial institutions OF the city
which includes OF course, the many ad-
ditions made in compa -atively recent
days to the number Of savings banks. 1t
may we'll be concluded the city Of Wash
fngton in It's financial interests at least
Is forging ahead at rate that Is highly
creditable and also amazing to those who
have not kept up fully with the develop
ment of this phase of the business of the
city.
The situation as outlined has been very
little affected by current conditions In
the stock market Of this country. The
signs Of an overstraining Of credit and an
OVERRIDING in business enterprises Of
which Wall street now Is the symptom of
cou Sc has q widespread influence which
has been felt In this city. At the same
time what has already happened has
been largely discounted. so that 1t Is not
surprising that confidence is growing.
The excellent condition Of financial in
stitutions here is an element Of strength,
and when a general improvement sets in.
and 1t Is hoped that is not far distance
prospect. affairs here will go on with re-
newed vigor.
1t is evident that the opinion is held
by men who are familiar with the situa-
ton that the field for financial institu-
tions in this city Is not fully occupied.
At any rate when the condition in Wall
street began to suggest that perhaps
after all the prophets OF a panic might
prove to be true prophets there was under
consideration in this city a plan for
bringing together one Of the leading
national banks of the city and one OF the
largest savings banks and those interested
to organize trust company Of large
capital. all three institutions to be con-
Quoted on the mutual interest plan.
There is no loss of faith In the practical
character of such an undertaking. but
owing to current circumstances 1t has
been thought best to postpone doing any
thing more until the times change Then
1t ls proposed to go ahead and carry out
the scheme outlined.

From Charities and the Commons.
The surprising statement that the NOR
tality Of the young has increased. and
especially during the school age. requires
the most serious and thoughtful consid-
Grafton. This apparently new fact may
not be due to an increase of the disease.
but to a discovery. The technique of di-
agnosis has improved the mind of man
Is more alert to the whole question, ideas
Of the pathology of the disease. especially
as far as the Emphatic system Is con-
cerned, have changed. and consequently
the disease is detected with much greater
precision. All this. true though 1t may
be. does nevertheless not invalidate en-
tirely the position that the danger OF con-
ira citing tuberculosis increases with the
age of the child and constitutes a pecu-
liar and extraordinary menace during the
school age. The great majority of chill
dren. says Grancher, who come to au-
topsy in. the hospitals show tuberc' ilosis
of the bronchial glands not recognized
during life. Naegeli of Zurich found that
SO per cent of children had tuberculosis
OF the glands, and Comfy that 81 per cent
were affected.

THE FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, October 12.-Prices on the
stock exchange during the week did not
maintain the buoyancy of the previous
week, and a number of adverse influences
depressed values considerably In spite of
the existence of a fair investment de-
mand. The weakness of Americans. the
decline in the price of copper. the heavy
liquidation in Amsterdam and the revival
of the railway labor agitation here were
the chief unsettling factors. and although
the settlement was concluded satisfactor-
lily Friday in the face of these adverse
influences prices failed to benefit to any
extent and closed at near the lowest quo
