Va, writes rs follows: "The town cleo
trio plant was sold about two months
ago. 1t was installed IN 1901 at a cost
Of $500 and sold FOR 5000. Reasons
for selling were that no fund was &C
cumulated for depreciation, and the
town could not afford TO pay for its
proper superintendent, and almost ev-
cry year there was a change Of OIL
Gals. The rates were too low. The
change has resulted in a meter system;
also the new owners will in time have
water power instead OF steam. The
town should have spent more and got

that many electric companies do not
earn enough to pay dividends the
Municipal Journal and Engineer says
edltoriaIy:
1T is the undoubted duty of all cities
whose streets are lighted by private
companies to obtain the lowest posi-
Bile rites for this. but 1t will certainly
be for the ultimate good of all con-
cerned that their efforts in this direc-
ton be conducted with a spirit OF fair
ness. a majority of the unfortunate
differences which arise between mu-
inequalities and public service corpo.
ratlons result from a failure OF the
former TO realize the business condi-
tons under which the latter must OPP
crate, and such differences are in the
end disadvantageous to the municipal
ity as well as to the private corpora
ton. Publicity OF the accounts of
such corporations would do much to
obyiate these misunderstanding, and.
many corporations are realizing this
and welcoming such publicity"

CHEAPER TO BUY CURRENT.

After Running les Electric Plant
Seven Years a Michigan City Makes
Contract For Current.
In1900 Escanaba Installed an electric
light plant at a cost Of $4,000. BY a
contract recently signed the generating
plant win be closed down, a ten year
contract having been made with a prl-
yate company TO furnish current. AS
far back as 1905 the finance commit
tee of the city council advised selling
the plant on the ground that it was
losing money. Last June an attempt
was made TO bolster up the plant by
having a special audit, the report Of
which showed n generous profit by the
usual methods of suppressing some OF
the large cost factors. When, how
ever, it was found that $4,000 or $780,
600 would have to be spent on renew
ing the plant. a vigorous protest was
made by the citizens, one of whom
naively asked why the lights were so
poor and SO often out II the plant was
rs good as was claimed by some OF the
city officials. The city also owns a
gas plant, OF which the Escanaba Mir
ror says: 4
Excessive rates and an unsatlsfac-
tory lighting service being furnished
to consumers of Escanaba by the mu-
nicipal lighting plant have resulted in
Escanaba becoming the Mecca for rep
resentatives of fgGsiight manufacture
ing companies, and u majority of the
business places on Ludington street
are now being lighted from private gas
plants Installed by the store tenants"

IHt SHOCK MARKET
 ON A DEAD LEVEL
Capitalists Will Not Trade and 9th
 CTS Are Afraid to.

New York Sept. 29.-The tendency of prices to settle to a dead level was still further manifest in the stock market today. The professionals con- fined themselves to fin and out deal ings." There were intervals of sev- eral minutes during the afternoon when no transaction was reported from the floor of the exchange, a condition of dullness rarely seen. The stagnant condition convinced doubt full ones that the wealthy capitalists who were credited with the respon- sibility for the activity of summer dealings were abstaining from dealing in stocks for the present. Money rates were a shade firmer. The sur plus reserve in the banks remains at such unwieldy proportions as to leave no room for an actual money market disturbance. The cool wave was still ignored in the grain markets and so it was without effect on stocks. Bonds were heavy. The total sales had a par value of $2O3S,OOO. U. s, bonds were unchanged.

AN AMERICAN BANKER
 ROASTS BOTH PARTIES
The Welcoming Address at the Open ing of the Convention Tinctured With Politics.

Denver Sept. PA sensation was created at the morning session of the American Bankers Association by the remarks of Col. Wm. E. Hughes of Denver, in his welcoming address. Col Hughes injected politics into his speech, declaring that if the republi- cans had regulated the tariff at the last session of congress they would be in a better position. to win the coming election and if the democrats had adhered to the old doctrines and had left out many 'isms" they would have interested the country far more. He was especially bitter against the guaranty of bank deposits.
 The report of Secretary James F. Branch showed the trust section to be in a prosperous condition with 941 members, S5 more than last year. The aggregate resources of the mem bers of that section is about S3,50O.- 0O0, GOO. over two-thirds of the trust companies of the country are on the rolls of the section.
 An amendment to the bylaws was adopted. giving a vice president to each state which has not less than five trust companies. The way tho bylaws stood a state had to have ten trust companies to be entitled to a vice president.
