was welcomed as a man who has
recklessly stored the ship upon the
rocks. There We're even some open
determinations, notably on the part OF
the president; but Ford sat quitely un.

folding and refolding slip Of paper
in his fingers as he listened.
When they gave him leave to speak,
he still made no attempt to explain.
Instead, he rose, walked to the other

This broke the deadlock instantly,
and for few minutes the board room
was as noisy as the wheat pit with a
corner threatening. Brewster, still
laughing in his beard, pulled Ford out
of the press at the brokers' end Of the
table.

 ing the funds for industrial operations little has been heard of the depen- dence of great enterprises In these cities upon the rest of the country In supporting the credit upon which their operations depend. That this condition now exists and Is growing more marked from year to year has just been illustrated in striking way.
 Although the money situation has been steadily improving for several months past, a curious development is causing considerable inconvenience to a number of large concerns whose operations extend over a great sec tion of the country. This is a dis inclination on the part of country bankers to loan money on tho paper of such concerns. Bankers are inclined to attribute this situation 10 alarm caused among the fnanciers in the Smaller cities over the failure of the so-called "fsh trust" and a few other very large concerns having wide ly distributed loans.
 In general 1t Is assumed here that this condition of affails will cause less trouble in New York than in Chicago where an OficIaH of Swift and Com pany, regarded as one of the largest users of banking facilities in the country. is credited with a statement fIreshadowing the necessity of other arrangements for handling the paper of this and other big concerns as a result of the refusal of the smaller banks to lend money to large enter prises in the financial centres as they have been in the habit of doing here tofore.
