and more normal conditions as Il

airy basis of 1907, but on a lower an,
more stable level. Much will Deepen,

tory, and If the process of readjusr
| ment in business is not unduly i'm
peded by combinations, we may lool
for improvement at a comparativel,
early date. Any interference witt
natural tendencies will simply pro
| tract, If not intensity, depression.
Bank Failures Not Serious.
| On the stock exchange the recen
bank failures and troubles in financia
institutions had little effect. These
were simply the aftermath Of the
panic and apart of the general house
cleaning then undertaken. The local
banking situation has been immense
ly improved and Is now in very salts
factory condition, despite the fact that
some Of the difficulties created by the
panic are only now coming to the sur
face. Should any more of these
troubles be exposed, they need now
cause no loss of confidence in the
banking situation in this city. Those
in control are fully determined to
eliminate the weak features and raise
the standards of banking conduct in
New York. In future it may be de-
pended upon that bank management
in this city will fall upon men who
as presidents and directors stand high,
not only as regards ability, but whose
reputation for integrity and disinter-
estedness will be beyond question.
The panic will at least have had one
good effect in that it win Immensely
raise the standards and ethics OF
banking in this the second banking
center of the world.
Speculation Restrained.
The future OF the market is for the
present more or less uncertain. We
are assured of easy money for months
to come and that is a supporting in
fluence which cannot be lightly under
estimated 1t must not be lost sight
Of that a substantial advance has al
ready taken place since the October
panic. AS a result liquidation in many
accounts has been great
ly facilitated and many of the stocks
bought to check the panic have laso
been sold at handsome profits. Under
ordinary conditions it might be pos
sible to carry the market to a still
higher level, but speculation is re-
strained by the unfavorabe develop
ments outside the market and the
of declining dividends for |
both railroads and industrials. This
caves the market very evenly bal |
anced as to conditions No excessive
ADVANCE seems likely just now, while |
my decided break would undoubtedly |
invite new purchases. Under such |
conditions active trading in stocks
hould revive, and the better class OF
securities will no doubt find ready |
purchasers on all pronounced breaks,
in view of the strong bank
ng support which is evidently being
accorded. The presidents message
obtained little that was new of I'm
'ortance. and was largely confined TO
reiteration of his former position.
is man object was evidently to stir /
ongress into action something very
ifficult to do just in advance of
election.

amount which the government would
appropriate would have nothing
whatever to do with the sum that it
has spent in completing the survey.
With the full amount asked for

tinel takes it upon itself to say that
the High Line canal project will be-
gin work with quarter of a million
of money in sight for the work.
This money, if spent this winter
which we confidently believe it Will
be. will go long way toward making
times prosperous in the valley.
But the greatest consummation to
be hoped for is the beginning of the
work. With the work begun by the
government, we can feel assured that
il will not quit until the High Line
canal project is entirely completed.
The session tomorrow of the Water
Users Association promises to be one
of the happiest for the fulfillment of
the long hoped for High Line canal
scheme, in the history of the valley.
