CHICAGO

Despite the difficulties interposed by
stringent money conditions, trade gen.
orally maintains satisfactory activity, es-
pecially in the distributive branches. The
efforts to bring about financial relief are
u~nrelaXed, and there is more encourage
ment for the future in gold imports, in
creasing note circulation and ready &C.
ceptance of checks in local payments.
Liquidation is not yet exhausted, and
it is not surprising that further shrink
age is seen in values of leading commod-
tiles, together with increase in CONNER
clal defaults. In view of the limitations
attending settlements through the banks
and absence Of discount operations the
total clearings this week make a fair ex-
hlbit, although the comparison with a
year ago is unfavorable.
Conservatism toward new enterprises
and accommodating borrowers is impera-
tive until credit has become firmly re-
established and indications favor an early
return to the normal status, but legiti-
mate needs will have timely protection,
including necessary renewals upon a
proper showing.
Mercantile collections at various inte-
rlor points are slower, owing to scarcity
of currency, but most credits cause less
apprehension than was feared and re-
covery from the temporary disarrange-
ment is looked for soon. Advices indi-
cate that country merchandising main
tains seasonable proportions, and colder
weather has brought an increased move
ment of heavyweight apparel and house
hold neccSsaries. Farm work and i'm
provements involve liberal OUTLAWS.
City trade in the leading retail lines
disclose no decline, and the absorption of
clothing and footwear equals expectations.
Dealings in the wholesale district compare
we'll with a year ago.
Manufacturing reflects no important
change, most of the heavy industries hay
ing ample work to assure steady employ
ment of forces for months to come, par
ticularly in iron and steel. The market
for lumber shows weaker prices and
smaller shipments. Shoe factories pre-
pare larger outputs than at this time in
1906. '.-. j.

yaudcyil1c Men In Legitimate.

The entrance of Klaw & Drlanger and
the sshuberts into the vaudeville field this
season has now had sthe expected result
of bringing the OLD Williams-Hammer-
stein and Keith & Proctor vaudeville
combinations into a policy OF retaliation.
The vaudeville houses and their anage
throughout the country have banded to-
gether to enter the legitimate theatrical
field by controlling at least thirty thea
ers in many important cities, beginning
with next season, when many contracts
with the theatrical trust will have ex-
PRED. The trust, on the other hand, is
in~augurating what it calls a vaudeville
festival in the larger cities. The plan
is to enlist greater artists than ever be-.
fore by paying enormous prices for their
So rvicas, and TO charge the public W
prices than heretofore. These festivals
are given in the largest houses SO AZ to
permit the greatest number Of small price
seats.

EMERGENCY CHECKS ARE
AUTHORIZED BY BANKS.
Of Scrip Will Help Local
Financial Situation.

At a meeting of the Chics.go Clearing
House Association, which was attended
by representatives Of the nineteen
member banks, it was decided, upon
recommendation of he Clearing House
committee, to issue checks of small de-
nominations, to be used as Il medium OF
exchange in lieu of currency until such
time as local banks shall see, fit to re-
sumo specie payments. The new checks
will be in denominations of 81, S., 50
and $40, and will be issued by the
Chicago Clearing House Association in
payment Of clearing house certificates
OF large denominations, which have
been previously issued to the banks.
1t was decided, for the convenience
Of handling them, that the checks will
be drawn on only four member banks
of the association. These banks are
the First National, the Corn Exchange
National, the Continental National and
the Commercial National. When any
bank in the Clearing House Associa-
ton desires a supply Of the checks
it must present to the manager of hat
organization clearing house certificates
of the larger denominations for the
amount of small checks it applies for.
The checks of small denominations,
which are guaranteed by the clearing
house, will then be drawn, based on
one of b banks designated, in pay
ment of the clearing house certificates
to the association, and the checks will
be made payable to the bank which ap-
piled for them, or bearer, and will,
therefore, be transferable from one hold
er to another without Endorsement.
Banks receiving the checks will pay
them out to customers for pay roll pur-
poses and they will pass into the hands
of employees, from them into the hands
of merchants and others. and from the
latter back into the banks, which will
accept them as deposits.
The United States mint in Philadel-
phia Tuesday delivered S%1,OOO,OOO in
gold double eagles to the ~subtreasury
there. 1t is stated that within the next
three months the mint will coin $751;
900, COO in double eagles. This enor-
nous amount of gold will be distributed
among the subtreasuries and will be
employed to relieve the money strin-
Sency.
The movement of gold from the
faults of European banks to the Unit
I'd States, which has been il progress
for several weeks, in which the UMPIRE
cedented total of nearly $60,GOO,000 has
been engaged abroad for import, still
continues.

AnIAmphfbiou. Automobue.

The old idea of a wheeled vehicle that
should run both on the land and in the
water has been realized in a recent inven-
ton by a Frenchman named Ravellier,
according to an article translated for the
Literary Digest. The body has the gen.
eral form of a boats hull of steel, with
wheels on axles passing through water
tight tubes. 1t is driven by a twenty
horsepower motor, with a speed-changing
axle so prolonged as to run a screw pro-
peller when the machine enters the water,
while a rudder is controlled by the steer
ing gear. The boat will leave the water
with its own power if the slope is not
more than 10 per cent, but if greater than
this, tackle attached to a tree or rock and
operated by a windlass in the bow is re-
lied upon to draw the carriage from the
water

Defalcation Of a Large Sum.

Chicago Millionaire Charged with
D~efalcation of a Large Sum.
JOIN r. Walsh, the Chicago railroad
masnate and millionaire. intimate
friend of Senator's, Congressman and
kings of finance, faced the federal
court Tuesday to answer charges of
defalcation of $4,000, OOO. Because of
former associations with the banker,
Judge Lands, of Standard Oil fame,
refused to hear the case, and Judge
Anderson Of Indianapolis presided in
his stead. Walsh has an array of coun-
sci, whose fees are said to aggregate
$25O,00O. John S. Miller, "the $780,
OCO Standard Oil lawyer Attorney
Hynes and other legal stars are among
them.
Among the witnesses ordered to ap-
pear for the government are the direc-
tors and officers of the defunct Chicago

Equitable Trust Company, three institu-
tons wrecked by Walsh methods; Ma
tional Bank Examiner Moxey, Eta Nc
Lean, the federal attorneys former
stenographer, who was arrested for the
theft Of papers from his Office, and the
dummy signers Of notes. Miss Nc
Lean was released later.

more than $50 counts for the alleged
looting of the banks. The funds were

his railroads in southern Indiana.
Walsh began business life as a news
boy. Walsh was considered the finan-
cial king Of Chicago.

a London Foo,

Nothing has such a b~ewildering eff
feet as fog. Only animals which find
their way by scent can get about in it
with NY certainty. Birds are entirely
confused by it. Tame pigeons remain
all day motionless and half asleep,
huddled up. either in or just outside
their pigeon houses. Chickens remain
motionleSs for hours during heavy fogs.
No birG sings or utters a call, perhaps
because it fears to betray its where
aboutS to an unseen foe. During n
very thick fog a blind man was found
wandering about a certain district OF
London. This man was in the habit Of
coming up every day from a suburb,
carrying notes ard parcels, and had
scarcely eve lost his wa before.

Gulf Stream Fruit.

The superiority of certain English
fruits has its origin in a cause little
suspected. 1t is the blessed gulf
stream which does it. Foreign grow
ers are every bit as acute as the Eng
lish, il may be, but they have not the
right atmosphere. The gulf stream
impartS a beleficent humidity to our
atmosphere which results in our fruit
having the thinneSt and finest skins Of
any in the world. The English straw
berry is without equal for flavor. The
English grape, though it may not have
the fine flavor of the Spanish, has the
best skin. The French tomato is as
thick skinned as the English field
grown. The English apple eclipses its
rivals because Of its thin skin. Every
fruit according to its climate. Grown
In a different atmosphere, the English
apple would shrivel in a day: here.

Raisinu HoIstein Cattle.

The Dutch system Of feeding and
rearing Holstein-Friesian cattle is sim
plicity itself. The calves are given
whole milk until about five weeks old,
when the ration is gradually changed
to skim milk and grain. The grain
is cooked or steamed and fed with the
milk at first and later IS fed dry imme-
diately before the milk is given. When
grass is available it forms the entire
ration for heifers. and during winter
the rations are only sufficient to keep
them growing. Bulls are fed in the
anne manner until they are a year old.
after which they are closely confined,
but regular exercise is given daily.
Bulls used for breeding are kept in

Her Choice lea.

There is true story told Of Il wealthy
American lady who was in China aud
one of the court officials. wishing to
do her great honor. promised to send
her Il CaSket containing some eytraor-
binary Tea. IN due time an eXQui-
sitely packed box arrived containing
tea. She babe many of her society
friends to a series of afternoons, at
which this tea was served, its de
licious qualities eXpatiated upon and
all seemingly enjoyed the leverage.
At the end of the season when the
casket was almost empty she found a
very small beautifully decorated box.
which on opening contained the price
less tea. What she had used was the
dried tea leaves that had been used
probably time and again by coolies. II
