ASSOCIATION OF BANKING POWER.

I have previously referred to the advantage OF
association of the banking power in the city of
New York
Recent events have clearly demonstrated the inn
portance of such association. This matter may not
properly fall within the scope OF legislative enact
ment..
cannot urge too strongly. however, that in the
that representation of the banking power
of the city in organization is impossible, the
desired result should be accomplished through
organization OF those institutions not at present
joying the privileges of association, for mutual aid
and general protection.
WEEKLY STATEMENTS.
The weekly bank statement" issued by the Clear
ing House Association of the City of New York
does reflect the aggregate financial position
since one-half of the banking does not report
to this association. For many reasons ii is to be
regretted that this is the case.
Awaiting Of the authority of law vested in the
quire an average summary statement of the condi-
ton OF the banking Institutions of the state of
the close of business Friday of each week
These figures will be compiled in the office of the
department at New York. and those of the institu-
tons in the metropolitan district not reporting
to the Clearing House Will be segregated. COM
bned and published in such form as. with the
weekly bank statement, will show far posi-
bic, the financial condition of the banking in
stitutons OF the city of New York.
These statements will also afford opportunity to
the department to keep more closely in touch with
the condition Of and to maintain more constant
supervision over, the banking institutions or the
state.
The recommendations above set forth will. If
adopted. require amendments to the banking law,
the provisions of which, il exists sub
initeness. l concur in the suggestion of the COM
mission appointed by the Governor that the bank
ling law and other statutes including penal provi-
sions relating to banking corporations. be revised

II is not purpose to discuss the principle of

The establishment of q branch of either bank

The suggestion that banks of deposit should have

lieu of the bond required of personal trustees
In my judgment the minimum amount OF capital
prescribed by statute for bank trust company
should be increased for each branch by 100000.
| further recommend enactment that every
bank trust company now having branches

This is a serious mistake. Your
real trouble is that what you eat does
not digest, instead it ferments and
sours and turns to acid, gas and stom-
ach poison, which will putrefy in the
entire digestive tract and intestinss,
and besides, poison the breath with
nauseating odors. s

Phenomenal Batter.
{ TYRus Z. COBB,

a man who Is nearly as important to
his team as Its best pitcher, as shown
by his work this year, Is Hans Wag-.

makes one hit in every game he plays
to be an unusually good batsman. TO
Wagner the making Of three hits In
one contest Is an event OF only or.
binary importance. In two games
played against New York In July Wag-
ner made seven consecutive hits, three
of them being two baggers, constitut-
ing a new and novel worlds record.

in five times at bat, making three con-
