It is estimated that fully 95 pei
 cent of the transactions in this coun- try are settled by check or the trans fer and balancing of credits: yet in
 many instances the banks are now obliged 10 refuse credit on checks for deposit, the result being a much heay- fer demand than usual for currency
 in the making of payments, says
 Banker Clews. Added to this excep- tional demand is the tendency 10 hoard cash, not only by individuals. hut by some of the interior banks.
 Nothing could be more harmful at such d time than hoarding. This tendency, it is true, has been some what counteracted by the premium of , to I per cent on currency. but the injury is serious nevertheless. The hoarder should be regarded as an enemy of society and shamed out of his folly. There are numberless in- stitutions all over the country where the depositOr's money is perfectly safe. while in stockings and other hiding places it is very unsafe. Many of our state banks have enviable re- cords for safety and soundness.

Perfdious Boston Actually Has Been
 Palming Off Dried Beans.

Washington, Nov. 21.--Boston loses in another bout before Dr Wiley, chief chemist of the department of agriculture. This time succotash is the cause of her undoing. Some frugal and unfeeling Yankee dared soak dried beans in water, mix them with green corn and call the compound just what he would have if the beans had been green. This is pure food felony and great was the anger of Dr Wiley when he heard of it. A rival canner of succotash made the discovery.
 "Monstrous!" exclaimed the doc- tor. That's vegetarian hash"
 So he ruled that green corn and green beans only may be used and there is woe in Boston, where the price of the simon pure article is soar ing.

Forty of Cleveland's most promin
 ent merchants recently devoted two days to an organized and systematic trolley tour of the territory which they supply. A dozen years ago such
 an undertaking, so far as any eXten-
 sion of business to be gained from il
 would have been laughed at To-day
 however, in view of the growing de- pendence of commercial expansion on electric lines the tour has been the subject of much serious discussion. As summed up by one of the members of the party, it was undertaken be- cause of the growing dependence of business on trolley facilities. With these lines entering into the express field and serving as a means of local communication six times better pa trOnized during the past year than steam roads it is becoming a maxim of modern trade that the importance of any locality is to a great extent de- pendent on it's trolley facilities, par ticularly in rural districts. At any event the novel trip of the Cleveland Is reported to have been marked success, some of the members going so far as to state that in the near future only districts supplied with trolley lines would be supplied by the manufacturer direct, leaving the less fortunate parts not thus sup piled to trade through a m!ddleman and consequently pay a higher price
