AND NOTES
FOR INVESTORS.

The production of coke in the Con
neIlsv'lle region during 1907 showed a
decrease of nearly 1000. 900 tons. Not
withstanding this decrease the gross
revenues showed an increase of nearly
$500, 900. This was caused by the aver
age price of coke per ton being fifteen
cents more for 1907 than 1906.
The Mexican railroad merger may
now be regarded as an accomplished
fact. The negotiations eliminated fav-
.orably yesterday at a conference be-
tween the governments minister of

Railway interests in general adhere
to the belief that there will be no ma

dustries resume operations to a greater
extent than their present.

IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN
IN IRON A CIRCLES.

CLEVELAND. Feb. 27.-The Iron
Trade Review today avs Some con-
cessions on prices of forging billets
have been made in the Chicago terri
tory, but as a rule. prices are well
maintained. Rumors of cutting on
prices of structural shapes seem to
have arisen from the low quotations
which are being made on fabricatins
and erecting. The orders of the Ameri-
can Bridge Company are expected to
amount to about $1,000 tons for Feb
ruary, n independent concerns are
doing fair business. In the cast iron
pipe market there is a firnler tone and
some fair orders have been taken.
1.-THE Great Northern Railway has
placed an order for $4,000 tons of rails,
and further orders are expected.

IN NUTL.EY MAY Be
JUMPED UP $500
Town Council Considers Secret
ly Plan TO Raise Retailers
from $500 to $500.

Higher license in Nutley is now
being considered by the Town Council
of that place. Councilman Arthur n.
Carr wants tho retail liquor license
raised from $500 to $500, and the whole
sale license from $3.50 to $3.50. The
Council considered the matter behind
closed doors last night, but no decision
was reached,
There are nearly a score OF saloons
in Nutley, which is said to be a large
number for such a small place. Each
year when the licenses are renewed
a public protest is made against the
number, but all efforts to have it les
sened have practically met with fail-
ure. Higher license may drive some
OF the smaller places out, Councilman
Carr claims. and thus satisfy the 1e-
mands of the anti-saloon people.

RACE HORSE, CREATURE
OF THE ADVERSARY.

As for the race track bettors. we dare
not undertake to demonstrate that the
show they %patronize is q highly moral
show. Very likely the Adversary in
vented the horse, endowing him with
possibilities of speed. and turned him
loose in the world to lure mankind to
perdition. Undoubtedly q horse that
can be urged to go inside of three or
four minutes is an immoral machine.
At to be grouped with the faro o and
the roulette table. Without bets, the
horsewise folk tell us. the horse race
industry cannot be maintained, nor the
breed OF horses continue to be i'm
proved, nor the agricultural fair to be
maintained in vigor. Nobody but Up
ton Sinclair knows what they would be
doing If they were not at the races,
but we fear the worst.-Harpers

NEW JERSEY BANKS FIRM
IN FINANCIAL STORM.

New Jersey has the distinction of be-
Ing one of the few Eastern States. II
rot the only one, whose financial insti-
tutions have, without exception, with
stood the recent financial panics. Nor
a single banking house or trust COM
pany in the State has closed its doors,
and not one Is in a condition to u
the least apprehension.
This fact, in view Of the proximity of
tha largest cities of the state to New
York and Philadelphia, and the conse-
oucnt close relations between their re-
srectiyc financial Institutions, is a mat
ter of pride to n good many New Jcr-
soy business men as well as to those
more directly interested in its banks
and trust companies.
There arc in the State 173 national
banks. In addition to this there are
Is banks of discount and deposit. or
State banks, as they are more gener-
ally called: 10 trust companies and 26
savings banks, all of which come under
the jurisdiction of the commissioner OF
banking and insurance. Twenty-Five
Of the national banks and seven of tho
trust companies were formed durins
the preceding year.
It Is now five years since there has
been a failure among New Jerseys
financial institutions, which is con
t-eWporaneous with the term of the
present Banking and Insurance
Commissioner. David o. Watkins.
Comment has recently been made
on the plan adopted in New York OF
conducting the examination of financial
institutions occupying the same build
ing or otherwise allied at tho same
time. This Is TO be accomplished by an
agreement between the Comptroller OF
the Currency and the state authorities
who will SEM their examiners into such
Institutions at tho same time. This
plan. however, is not new in New Jer-
Soy. having been in successful operation
since John W Griggs was Governor.
