ATTORNEY DISAGREES
WITH MOREHOUSE
UpholdS State Law and the Ac-
ton of the Board Of Bank
ing Commission

\ we'll known attorney has sent the
following article to the Appeal and
takes a stand opposite to that of Sen
ator Morehouse, the prominent Gold
field attorney. in regard to the ap
pointmel. of the receiver for the State
Bank and Trust Company:
Warehouses; view of the case. Bank
ing corporations being quasi public in
stitutions, | consider the State as a
whole has just as much interest in
the affairs of such concerns as the
thorities have a right under the sta
tute and as matter OF equity to make
tnority has been upheld in the courts
OF North Carolina, where they have a
similar provision providing that the
State Treasurer shall apply for re-
ceiver for any bank which in his op-
inon is insolyent, Worth. Treasurer,
Y. iedmont Bank, 121 NJ. c. 343.
However. I will admit that the
right of tht State. through its Bank
Commissioners and Attorney General
to make application for receiver is
not exclusive as was held in the
North Carolina case I have cited. II
the creditors should ascertain the in
solvency of bank before the state
authorities they are not precluded
from taking proper legal steps to pre-
serve their rights.
! An analogous case to the one under
consideration is that of national banks
! Whenever the Comptroller Of the
Treasury ascertains that a nationa
bank is insolvent he Immediately ap
points a receiver. He does not wal
until the creditors bring bill int
court
What objections can any creditor 0
a bank have TO prompt action in thes
cases by the state? The Bank ES

anlinCg has better ODpo unity for
learning the condition Of a bank than
any creditor. Should the State au-
thorities wait and let the affairs of
bank get worse in the hope that some
cre--lor or creditors will bring an ac-
zion for receiver
To my mind the Law is a salutary
one and is in the interests of the
whole people of the state as well as
the creditors.
As to whether or not the receiver
appointed under our bank law should
wind up the affairs of the corpora
ton am not prepared to argue in the
face of the mandatory provision Of
the statute. Unless the statute is un-
constitutional in this respect | do not
see how the courts can set it aside.
IN regard to the question of the
priority of date of the incorporation
law, under which the STATE Bank &
Trust company was organized to the
bank statute | do not see anything in
that. The latter law does not pre-
vent the directors from winding m
the affairs Of their corporation If
they fail to do 50 the State, upon a
proper showing made by the officers,
VIII take the matter in hand
Taken all in all, it seems to me that
the bank law, though not complete BY
far. is a safeguard to creditors and
TO the general public as well, and does
not prevent the very action by credit
ors suggested uy Senator Morehouse
provided they ace before the State
does, and as the state has already
! started its machinery in motion. there
is no necessity for action by the cred
itors and they could not attain an,
different result than has been accom-
plished, except perhaps secure a diff
ferent person for receiver, which M
doubt can be done by proper leea
steps being taken in that direction.

Dun and Bradstreet Report Slight improvement in
General Conditions.

New York, April 10.-Bradstreet's re-
view CT the state of trade Tomorrow
viii say:
Though Irregular. the weeks develop
menis have been in the direction of i'm
proyement. The approach Of Easter has
stimulated retain trade in some lines and
sections. with a sympathetic effect on
some jobbing business, and a slight gain
in collections. The reports In this respect
are. however, conflicting, accordingly as
different centers are examined.
THE Southwest and Northwest send
the best reports, while Southern advices
are a little more satisfactory as d whole.
Crop and weather conditions are mainly
favorable. a normal spring season is ap-
parently being experienced and the wheat
crop has come through the winter prac-
tloally unimpaired in condition, allowance
being made for the area usually aban-
doned because Of weather conditions. so
lar, the early crop and soil conditions are
better than year ago. and the reports
Of insect damage are copspleuously fewer
than In 1907.
zone effect Of these developments has
been TO depress cereal and cotton prices
to the lowest levels of the year, thus
modifying the advance caused In the
general price level in March By the sharp
rise in meats and strength Ia metals,
outside Of iron and steel and naval
stores. Fall trade reports are not any
more satisfactory. Lowered prices of
cottons have brought in some buying Of
specialties, but men's-wear, woOlens, and
winter-wear hosiery show little gain
