Guarantee of Deposits.

If the sound banks are so afraid that
government guarantee of deposits will
lead to reckless banking, let them
devise plan for law requiring every
bank to put up securities with the
state to the amount of their deposits
to secure their depositors. The United
States government requires banks to
put up securities to secure the de-
posits it makes. and the banks are all
anxious to get such deposits on the
terms required States are now re-
quiring life insurance companies to
place in the hands of the insurance
departments securities sufficient to
guarantee the payment of the policies
to their beneficiaries. What is the
reason the republican leaders are so

Worldwide Craze For a Soma.

The methods of the Teuton in win

which has been very popular in the
United States during the last few
months. 1t is entitled 1.-THE Glow

Lincke. who at the present time has
four different operas running In France
and Germany. The Glowworm" song
has been given 1000 times in the
Frau Luna opera at the Konigstadt
theatsr. Berlin. The song has an odd
theme. The glowworm's light is in
voked to lead the lovers on their dark
way. and the little insect is beseeched
to guide them with Its twinkling
candles" A peculiar characteristic
Of the ballads melody Is boldly de-
veloped obligato running through the

into no less than eight languages.

Henry Clew's Views.

In his Weekly Financial Review,
Henry Clews says:
The striking new developments of
the financial week have been, first,
the decision of the United States cir
cult court of eastern Pennsy wanna,
declaring the commodity clause of the
Hepburn law unconstitutional; second,
the PRONUNCIATION by The department
of agriculture of what for practical
purposes is it's preliminary harvest re-
turn. and, third the sudden ADVANCE
in call money to 21a per cent. The
first two of these items were reassur-
ing; the last named is not surprising.
The wheat and corn harvests, it is
true, will probably not figure quite up
to expectations current month or so
ago; they are, however, considerably
above the average, and as the danger
point even for corn may now be con-
sidered to have been safely passed
one of the chief sources of uncertain
| ty in the general financial situation
| is removed. The wheat promise is
| 80 ,000, 900 bushels ahead of the final
an excellent crop year, and prices are
| fully as high as those current at this
date in 1907-about $104 per bushel
| for No 2 red, the standard. The corn
promise also exceeds that of last year,
| though by only 100000 bushels. the
indicated yield being 2,595597 900
bushels; and corn futures are about
10 cents per bushel over the prices
current at this time last year. Final
harvest returns usually exceed the
preliminary indications. Oats and
hay, which are also important crops,
are well above the 1907 returns, while
cotton, though it has not yet advanced
sufficiently to justify definite esti-
mates, will unquestionably rank among
the highest yields of recent years.
Taken altogether, therefore, the agri-
cultural sections, and all whose sue
cess is associated with the products
of the ground. are assured of still an
other addition to the long yearly rec
ord OF agricultural prosperity that has
remained unbroken since the partia
failure of the corn crop in 1901, The
agricultural interests have partlcl
pated only indirectly in The recent
financial upheaval they are sound and
solvent; their purchasing power is
still intact and they are merely await
ing the touch of complete confidence
TO extend the hand of fellowship and
fraternal aid to the industrial and, il
turn, the mercantile interests of the
country. 1t is hardly probable tha
these two interests will show much
progress until after the November
election. and in the meantime theil
demands will not become important
factors in the money market.
