to me which spoke for itself. This
farmer is said to have sixty acres

parts of the world the production OF
wheat is diminishing today; but as Il
diminishes Canada's will increase;
therefore, It is safe to predict that in
few years from now large part Of the
world will be looking to western Can
ada for its wheat supply, and espe-
cially will the United States. In many
parts Of western Canada it is possible
to have a hundred-mile square OF
wheat, without break. A writer says:
I'VE were driven west and north OF
Moose Jaw through 20 miles of dead
ripe wheat, acres of stocks and we'll
worked summer-fallows. One of these
fields would yield 40 bushels to the
acre, and another man had oats that
would yield 80 or 100 bushels to the
acre. In this district wheat win aver

session of the Third Avenue Traction line
Of New York city and of several of its
connections lying to the north and north
east of the Harlem river. This invasion
of Manhattan Island is. so the gossips say,
a. play to square accounts with Thomas
Fortune Ryan. who took control of the
Equitable Life Insurance Company from
the little magnate three years ago. AT
that time Mr.. Hartman on the witness
stand was asked what he had done in
counterplay to Mr.. Ryalis move. His re-
ply was that he had done nothing-"not
yet" The yet" was supposed at the
time TO be an implied threat shat he would
go after Mr.. Ryan's scalp later on. The
move to take the Third Avenue lines out
of the big Traction combine, which is still
dominated by Mr.. Ryan. would be strictly
in keeping with the Hartman methods.
The earthquake induced considerable
selling of American securities for foreign

may seem very remote, yet there is con-

disturbing on the Italian securities and
led to unloading to small extent In the
European capitals. Sympathetically, also
it induced the sale of stocks and bonds
everywhere just the same as stupendous
calamity in any part of the civilized
world would be. 1t signifies nothing,
however, more than the indrawing OF a
long breath and a little shock. The San
Francisco disaster came at time when

"A wide discrepancy was noted in the
statement of the associated banks of the
city of New York Saturday, taking the
average system and the report based on
actual conditions as a basis In the re-
port of averages the banks showed a
crease of about s.. 100000 in cash and a
decrease of s12S4.3 800 in deposits.
The surplus reserve, estimated on these
figures, increased $4,O33,975. If, however
calculation Is made on the statement of
actual conditions at the close of business
Saturday, d widely different result is OBJ
tanned In the statement of actual con-
ditions, which really represents the true
standing of banks at the date named,
loans increased SIS $50, 200; deposits SIT :
96s. 4Uv, and cash, 1926, 500. The increased
reserve required on the greater volume
OF deposits was approximately $500 600
and as the cash gain was less than
$6WO,OU, the surplus reserve was reduced
week at s14.704,375 The very large in
crcases noted above were due primarily
to preparations for January dividend pay
ments, and it is quite likely the state
mcnt week hence will show euuaIlv
large changes.
THE banks during the week gained in
thei' operations with the subtreasury
and elsewhere more than 100000. The
greater part of this money came from the
interior. representing money sent here
for January dividend payments. The gain
from the interior was the largest re-
ported during any week in the slast six
months.
THE summary of state banks and trust
companies in Greater New York not re-
porting TO the clearing house showed q
gain of $f.4122OO in loans, an increase
of something over 81 800 600 IN cash and a

there was good investment buying. Much

during the year. Foreign bonds were of
fered early in the week, especially Rus
slams, but good recovery occurred with
more confident Paris support, which also
helped the firmness in the kaffir market
American securities, although lacking
outside support, managed to gain one to
four points on the week, due to profess
sional buying, the copper shares. the Har-
riman issues and Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe leading. The latter was
strengthened by the splendid November
earnings. A feature of the year was the
remarkable rise in American rails, indica-
tive of the gradually returning confidence
after the crisis. Some of the active is
sues closed 20 to 40 points higher than the
final quotations of 1907, while Union Pa
ciflc registered a net gain of 81 and
Southern Pacific 4S points.
Money was plentiful and easy. Dis
counts were quiet.
The stock exchange started the year in
good shape. except in the case of consuls
which eased on the issue of the $50 600 600

transacted in kaffirs and copper shares at
the higher level, while home rails re-
ceived attention by investors.
