COMMERCIAL

S9f,UUu,VVU IN CertincaeeS.
According to statement prepared
by President Alexander Gilbert of the
New York Clearing House association.
from Oct. % to the close of December,
1907, the association issued certificates
to the amount of $97,000.0o0. These
Were not all in use, however, ut any
one time, and Mr.. Gilbert places the
amount actually utilized by the banks
to effect their exchanges at STA, OOO, 600.
The retirement of these certificates has
been rapid and the amount now out
standing Is much below the above f1g-
ures. The issuance of these certificates,
Mr.. Gilbert says, furnishes the best OBJ
ject lesson of an emergency currency,
one that is perfectly secure and one that
can be put into effect without any COM
plicated bank machinery.

The New England Trust company Of

The immediate cause Of the recent

thought that the sum Of $500 600 would
have enabled the bank to pull through.
The present debt of the bank to the

Two Cent Faro Law Void.
The two cent railroad fare law now
In force In Pennsylvania has been de-
clared Unconstitutional by the state
supreme court In an opinion affirming
the decision Of the common pleas court
OF Philadelphia rendered last Septem-
Der. The court in reviewing the case
says that the lower court found that
the act does injustice to the cor
porators in that 1t reduces the returns
from the property to such an extent as
to render it unremunerative. 1t fur
Their says: 1.-THE corporation is entitled
to make fair profit on every branch
of Its business subject to the lirnita-
ton that Its corporate duties must be
performed even though at a loss. What
is fair profit is n highly complicated
and difficult question. The court be-
low ayailed itself of oil the best evil
dence that was offered or shown to
be obtainable, considered it with ex-
emplary patience and care, and its
conclusion that the enforcement Of the
act Of 1907 against the complainant
would do injustice to the corporators
Is beyond criticism" The law was en-
acted by the last legislature, the bill
passing both houses by practically
unanimous vote. The railroads fought
the bill vigorously. and after it became
a law the Pennsylvania railroad instl-
tuted suit in the common pleas court
of Philadelphia restraining the county
OF Philadelphia from enforcing the
law. The railroad contended that the
law was unconstitutional In that it
was unreasonable and confiscatory,
and this contention was sustained by
the court The county then carried
the case to the state supreme court,
which has now sustained the lower
court. The decision was by vote of
4 to3.
