At a given signal James A. Buchan-
an. the dean of the business getting
staff. rose in his place. and. catching
Mr.. Ayers attention, in a very apt
speech presented him with a massive
sterling silver loving cup. Mr.. Aver
although taken completely by surprise
accepted the gift in a most felicitous
way even though he found il difficult
to express himself under the cirCcm-
stances. The event was characterized
by an immense amount Of enthusiasm
on the part Of all present. The cup
was indeed a tribute which any man
might be proud to receive from his
friends, business associates and en-
ployes. Upon one side was inscribed
the following: presented to r. Way

Aver q Son. az a banquet commemorate
ing the fortleth anniversary Of the
founding Of the firm" Upon another
side appeared these words; Bellevue
Stratford. Philadelphia April a. 800 4"
Upon the third side. There is no bet
ter. motto than Keeping Everlastingly
az it Brings Success and no better ex-
ample of il than r. w. a." The letters

teristic style Of signature affixed to
the mass Of documents which have
passed through his hands in the past
forty years. At the close of the BAN

The investing public knows these
things. knowing them. IL knows
that the largest profits from stock
market advances and dividend re-
turns are to be realized from the
purchase OF the leading stocks OF
the Ely district.
The advances made by these is
sues in the last week have been
brought about solely by the uplift-
ing pressure of determined public
buying for investment There has
been no inside manipulation for
higher prices. The public is MAX
ing the market on the Ely coppers

almost daily. In view OF this fact
we are on record with this predic-
ton:

These issues have set the pace
for activity and price advances on
the New York curb market this
last week. They are leading the
copper-share boom now in progress
with swinging stride. Just as Ely,
the district they represent, is now
the center of interest in copper
mining circles, so are the Ely
stocks most conspicuous in the
mining share markets OF the coun-
try. Here Is the record of advances
made i'm the last week by the four
big leaders among the lay coppers:
NEVADA CONSOLIDATED has
risen from $2475 to $2I.12i@s. gain
of s2.37la share, the equivalent OF

The Financier will say:
The most striking feature in connection
with the statement of the associated
banks of New York city for the week
ending November q. was a loss Of $60SJ,.
500 in cash, due for the greater part to
operations with the sub-treasury, and an
increase of 81, 800 I'm loans. A heavy
expansion i'm loans had been anticipated
and the figure named was really smaller
than preliminary estimates had foi'eshad-
owed. Deposits. as a result Of the
changes just noted. showed moderate
expansion of $2.O7l, 100.
The reserve on all deposits fell $6603,-
275, leaving the present surplus above
the % per cent legal requirements, So
496. 325 The cash reserve, figured on the
actual showing of the banks Saturday
was 25.4s per cent There had been rea.
son to believe that some of the loan COM
mitments of the banks had been shifted
to the trust companies, but the statement
OF these institutions and the state banks
showed an actual decrease OF $4,67f, 100 In
loans, and a loss of about 2A millions in
cash, and a decrease of ~ millions In
net deposits.
AS showing the liquidation which has
occurred in one year, II may be stated
that, compared with the exhibit made
one year ago last week, the clearing
house banks have decreased their loans
$14,OOO,OOO, the deposits $15J.O0O.OOO, and
their cash holdings about SIS. 100000. II
the next two weeks reveal. as 10 predict

on the New York banks will be increased.

apprehension on that score here.
