MONEY is MOVING
Bank Exchanges in Leading Cities This
Week Show Increase Of 2.1 Per Cent
Over Same Week Last Year = Chief
Gain at Now York.

Over Same Week Last Year - Chief
Gain at New York.
New York, July 24.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
Bank exchanges this week at the
leading cities amounted to $2,329,4S1,-
O00 an increase Of 81 per cent over the
same week last year, and gain Of or
per cent compared with the cores
ponding week in 1906. While the state
ment in every respect is more satis-
factory than it has appeared for some
time. the chief gain is at New York,
where an increase of about a hundred
million dollars undoubtedly is due to
greater activity in speculative chan
nels. The payments thru the clearing
houses outside New York more faith
fully represent the mercantile situa-
tion, and here the result is reduction
Of about seven per cent from the bank
exchanges last year. The only large
decrease was 29.1 per cent at Pitts
burg and there Is no longer section
al difference in these comparisons, the
east showing up quite as we'll as the
central west, with only slight advan-
tage in favor of the southwest.
Dispatches to Dun's Review indicate
some further improvement in trade,
altho the rate of progress is slow. as
might be expected at this midsummer
season.

reversal of the fine of $29,0O0,O00 inn
posed by Judge kenesaw M. Lands on
the Standard Oil company of Indiana.
If any words of his would carry
weight, the President decided, the vot-
ers of the country would have no
grounds for blaming the republican
party for the failure to uphold the
penalty placed on the wealthy corpor-
alton by Judge Lands. So with the CO.
operation of MIR. Taft and Secretary
Loeb he prepared a PRONUNCIATION
which impressed those who saw 1t as
one of the most remarkable pro-
nouncements ever issued by chief
executive of nation.
Urges Haste in Retrial.
Directing the attorney general to
lose no time in retrying the case
by inference, arraigns the three judges
of the United States circuit court of
appeals who reversed Judge Lands by
saying there is no question of the guilt
of the defendants or of the grave
character OF their offense.
He adds he would take 1t as a grave
miscarriage of justice if, thru techni-
cality of any kind. the Standard Oil
escaped the punishment (which would
have unquestionably been meted out to
any weaker defendant who had been
guilty of such offense." Then he adds:
"The president will do everything in
his power to avert or prevent such
miscarriage of justice"

they were found they were removed to

the regimental surgeons, assisted by
physicians summoned from Gettys-

camp ground and town was put out Of
service by the storm, and many visi-

were children who almost went into
