RooseveIt's Letter.

Washington, october 2s.-President Roosevelt's letter of congratulation to Secretary Cortelyou on his admirable handling of the present financial crisis reads as follows:
 q congratulate you upon the admirable way in which you have handled the pres ent crisis. 1 congratulate also those con- servative and substantial business men who in this crisis have acted with public spirit. By their action they did invalu- able service in checking the panic which, beginning as a matter of speculation, was threatening to destroy the confidence and credit necessary to the conduct of legitimate business. No one who consid- CTS calmly can question that the under lying condition which makes up our finan- cial and industrial well being are essen- tially sound and honest. Dishonest deal ing and speculative enterprise are merely the occasional incidents of our real pros perity. The action taken by you and by the business men in question has been of utmost consequence, and has secured op- portunity for the calm consideration which must inevitably produce entire con- fdence in our business conditions. Faith fully yours.

Relief Measures Taken.

Cincinnati, O., October 27.-The Cincin- natl Clearing House association has ls- sued a statement which, in part, follows:
 Following the acton of the New York. Chicago, St. Louis and other large city clearing house associations, the members of the Cincinnati Clearing House asso- cation met to discuss the situation.
 Tn the interest of depositors and the public and as basis oS immediate gen eral assistance, the clearing house re- solved to issue clearing house certificates and also resolved that all banks of this city, whether state or national, having savings accounts should decline to honor withdrawals on savings accounts except on 60 days notice.
 'The immediate cause of the existing stringency is due to conditions not local to Cincinnati. While there has been un- usual demand with Cincinnati banks, this course, in view of the general conditiolm prevailing elsewhere, seems the wisest course of pursue. The Cincinnati banks are in exceptionally strong condition Not one needs any relief, but If some such course were not adopted the currency In this city would be unduly drawn on for other communities"

High Vaudeville Salaries.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 Of all the people who work for their living, vaudeville performers are the best paid. Of three-fourths. yes, seven- eighths, of the travelling theatrical com- panies, the whole salary list does not amount to $250O a week, and yet in vau- deville that much is paid to one perform CT who gives an eighth of the perform ance It is true that a $25O0-a-week per former doesn't appear often in any one theatre, but an act that costs 5000 a week has become the rule rather than the exception in every bill, while great ma jority of the acts cost from $250 to s50o and In the best vaudeville houses no act costs less than $75 a week. "Chasers," employed to drive audiences out of houses giving continuous performances, get that much. In the good vaudeville houses, the salary list of performers range from $2500 to $4000 a week. and the max imum is paid more often than the mini mum. Occasionally the cost will run to $500O a week. The standard in practically every fiIlst class vaudeville house in the country is S32OO a week, and each man. ager tries to keep as closely to that as possible It has been found that this will provide an attractive bill and yet leave T fair margin of profit

Mobile Unaffected.

Mobile, October 27.-Mobile's bank CTS are confident that recent Wall street disturbances will have no erect upon the local conditions. Except for the usualedemand for ready money to care for steady cotton shipments and to handle the crop, local financial con ditfons have shown no general change from ordinary at this time of the year. One of the leading bankers summed up the situation as viewed by Mobile by saying the Wall street conditions are due merely to a rich mans hght and that the atmosphere there appears to have been decidedly clarified, there by preventing the probability Of un- healthy effect upon local institutions.

St.Ionis- Stands Pat.

St. Louis. October 27.-Confidence that action involving the issuance of clear ing house certificates would hold financial matters in check until a complete read justment could be made was the pre- vailing sentiment among the leading bankers of St. Louis today and the pre- diction was made that the coming week would be better from banking stand point than the last has been. ]. c. Van Blarcom, president of the National Bank of Commerce, was one of those who ex pressed this view, and he added:
 'The action of New York financial in- stitutions demanded that we take such a step as the issuance of clearing house certificates, which will help us in our policy of stand pat The general un- easiness which is usually spoken of is confined practically in it's intirety to the east or l might say to New York"

Kansas City, October 27.--Last week 5 clearing house business in this city show ed total of nearly sN,OO0,o0o, an increase of 3O3 per cent over the corresponding week last year and breaking all previous records. General business was never so brisk and the income of the farmers of the southwest whose crops have com handed high prices, is larger than any previous year.

Charleston, S, C.. october 27.-The fairly satisfactory condition at Satur- days closing scene in Wall street were viewed with satisfaction here and local bankers expect return to the normal in a very short time alth ough Mon day, all think, will be a very busy day in financial circle everywhere.

Montaomery Optimistic.

Montgomery, october 27.-The bank CTS of Montgomery appear very optl- mistic over the present financial situa- tion, and so far as the local banks are concerned, they were never in more prosperous condition than they are to- day. The panic in New York has not been felt here at all. The impression that the cotton men of this vicinity are panic stricken over the present out look, is false. On the contrary they are holding their cotton Tor hlgher prices The fall trade among the merchants Is brisk.

No Disturbinu Factors.

Galveston, Tex, October 27-Summing up the financial situation in Galveston, T. J. Groce. president of the Galveston Clearing House association, and president of the Galveston National bank, said to- day: There are no disturbing factors in the local situation. The banks are working along quietly and conservatvely. insisting on the gradual liquidatlons of outside obligations without any pressing or harassing methods and emphasizing the necessity of cooperation in grad ually relieving the situation. The feel ing Is quiet and there is no savoring of a disturbance in the atmosphere"

was found who could ride the whrlwind and direct the storm, and by common consent the leaders in the financial world subordinated their action to the guidancs of J. P. Morgan. With affairs thus sub mitted to the direction of a central intel- ligence much was gained for a readjust ment.
 The situation that began to emerge was found not so hopeless as had been feared, the prevalent fears indeed having risen to the stake of unreason and hysteria amongst depositors in the institutions. It is not expected that affairs will subside immediately into placidity after the vio- lent upheaval. Even now, however, it is not too early for recognition of some Of the benefits which have accrued, severe and painful as was the process of better ment. The looping off of offending mem- bers of the financial body has made wide progress, and the removal of a threaten ing factor in the New York banking situ- ation is viewed with qualification by all friends of soldity and safety In banking. Even greater qualification is felt over the opening of the way to reform the New York trust company situation.
 Outgrowth of Situation.
 These measures have sprung up full grown out of the week s situation. Pro- visions for systematic information as to the actual condition or the trust com panies and periodical reports to their own central authority in the matter of the clearing house committee amongst the banks are safeguards that every banker in the country will regard with satisfae- ton.
 The close of the week found confidence maintained in the efficacy of the meas ures and for the preservation of the financial fabric. The Saturday bank state- ment while reporting a small deficit be- low the legal reserve required, exhibited no such depletion of available banking re- sources as would threaten a present pa- ralyss. The inauguration of gold im- ports from London is regarded as certain to have an important effect of relaxation of the strain The authority granted the clearing house committee on Saturday to issue clearing house certificates is re- garded as completing the assurance of adequate resources to meet the occasion. The level of various classes of securi- ties is serving to attract demand of sub stantial proportions for foreign account, and 1t is evident that some of the de- posts withdrawn are going into the pur- chase of securities on a cash basis. The week closed with a general accession of confidence and hopefulneSs.

San Antonio, Tex, october H.-The financial situation fin New York has had absolutely no effect upon banks and fnan- cial institutions in this city Money Is not tight in San Antonio nor according to bankers, will it become so.
