MAY IGNORE NEW JERSEY.

nj EW JERSEY fears that no presidential
candidate will visit that State to speak
during the camapign. Bryan may not be at
tracted to the State, as the New Jersey Demo-
Gratis. under the direction of Former Senator
Jim" Smith, were pronounced against Bryan at
Denver In the northern part of the State Bryan
has some friends, but if he visits Jersey City he
will run into the Democratic leader who favors
open saloons on Sunday. Bryan, perhaps, Will
think it better to steer clear of Jersey altogether
Taft may decide that it is not worth while TO
visit the State which has been so strongly in the
Republican columns during the last few presden-
tia elections. And then what a mark Taft would
be for the Jersey mosquitoes
The lerseymen, however, have hopes thas
Thomas +. Watson, of Georgia, the Populist can
didate, may visit their State AS Thomas con-
sists mostly of skin and bones, he should be abs
to stand the onslaught Of mosquitoes.

William Randolph Hearst knows when he has
had enough. He declined the nomination for
president of the Independence League. Defeated
for governor of New York and for mayor of New
York city, Hearst does not hope for a change Of
luck. But there is no reason why Hearst should
be discouraged. If nominated he would, of
course, be defeated for president but he and
Bryan would be in the same boat, as the Nebras-
kan is preparing for his own third defeat

When Banks were few, and Trust
Companies unknown, It was nec-
essary to keep money about
the house or in the place of
business, for immediate use even
at the risk Of loss by theft or fire,
but now, with the best banking
facilities on every side, this neces-
sity no longer exists. Men and
women Of good Judgment deposit
their funds regularly in the insti-

together into common. The burden OF
their talk is that the company will make
money at the rate of $22o,OOOOOO after

will be in excess of S173.OO0OO0. They
point with pride to d record of a surplus

The statement of the associated banks
Of the city Of New York for the week

anticipated. an expansion in loans. with
corresponding increases in cash and other
In loans was traceable, of course, to the
continued speculative activity in this and
other centers. The cash gain during the
week was $4.152.O0O. The increase in
deposits amounted to $14 1852, GOO, and al

The item of circulation showed a re-
markable decrease Of 81 COS. OO0 follow
ing an almost equally heavy decrease

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. November 21.-Continued lib
eral receipts of wheat in the northwest
and southwest had a depressing effect on
the local wheat market today. prices at
the close being haA to 3. lower. Corn,
oats and provisions were also easy.
Trade in the wheat pit was dull the en-
tire day and sentiment was bearish with
the exception of a few minutes at the
opening, when some firmness was mani
tested as a result of a moderate advance
at Liverpool. There were no new devel-
opments in the situation, and the major
ity of pit traders we're inclined to favor
the selling side of the market owing to
the continued free movement of wheat in
this country.
Prices during the day nuctuated over a
range of LAS to 2ah. The close was
weak at almost the lowest point. with
December at LOIS and May at LOS.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to 5000 bushels. Primary receipts were
1.1S0OOO bushels. compared with a21, 600
bushels the corresponding day year ago.
Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of $50 cars. against so cars last
week and 80 a year ago.
Corn displayed slight firmness during
the first part of the day on buying by a
leading elevator concern, but eased Off

cember closed at $685. and May at IS. Lo-
cal receipts were 20 cars with five of

Trade i'm oats was dull and the range of
prices was narrow. There was a little
buying by provisions interests early in
the day. which held prices steady. but
late in the session there was sufficient
selling pressure to cause slight recessions.
