New York Banks Increase
Reserves by Nearly
100000.
BUSINESS DEMANDS
ARE VERYLIMLTED
Industrial Depression Largely Re-
sponsible for Financial
Conditions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Mouey Is still
plentiful. and the rates are low. The
situation is unpleasant save to Wall
Street and to the few borrowers who
come into the market in quest OF sC-
commOdations, and who. if they have
any claims for consideration, are treat.
ed with great respect.
AS a rule Il is pleasant to have money
enough for business requirements and
for the stock market as we'll, but It is
not right that the former should not
be a borrower to any extent. and that
Wall Street should be the chief inquirer
after accommodations.
That this condition exists is but an
evidence Of the extent that industrial
depression exists, and this is more ac-
centuated here than in the West. Money
is being used freely In manufacturing
and commercial life in the Western
States. where conditions are steadily
improving.
Despite an increase Of 100000 in
loans, the associated banks came
through the week with an increase Of
nearly the same amount in their re-
serves, An actual increase OF surplus
reserves from $Z5,58S, ll5 for the preCed-
ing week TO $50. 35I $50 was reported.
Conditions abroad are very interest

MISS LAURA HUMPHREY
GIVEN PLEASANT SURPRISE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON

Miss Laura E. Humphrey. late prin-
cipal Of the south side high school,
who is to be welded next week to Mr..
Arthur e. Hubbell of Lincoln Park.
was given Q very pleasant surprise at
her home, hit Park avenue, South
Canon, Thursday afternoon by the
ladies' composing C. J. Fredrickson's
Sunday school class at the First Pres
byterian church. Miss Humphrey has
long been one OF the most interested
and active members Of the class in
question and her associates of that or
ganization, about twenty in number.
decided to present her with some to-
ken of their appreciation in view Of
her approaching nuptials.
Concealing very carefully their
plans from the bride-to-be the mem
some silver baking dish and a beauti-
full cut glass bowl, which they gave
her as souvenirs of their visit. The
ladies drove in carriages to the Hum
phrey residence, or, rather, to a point
in the immediate vicinity, but beyond
the line of vision. where the horses
and vehicles were secreted, and pro-
ceeded to the house on foot in order to
forestall any suspicious on the part of
the family. The surprise was COM
plete, Miss Humphrey having had no
intimation of the prospective visit OF
her friends, and, to say that she was
astonished is to state it mildly. The
self-invited ladies had taken with
them quantity of ice cream, cake
and other good things to eat and a
feast was quickly extemporized after
Miss Humphrey had regained her
equanimity and composure. The usual
calmness of Miss Humphrey forsook
her when the mission OF her callers
was made known and she was unable
to reply with her customary ease and
conference to the presentation speech,
which is not at all amazing in consid-
Grafton Of the circumstances attend
ing the occasion.
Miss Humphrey and Mr.. Hubbell
will be married by Rev. ]. T. Thmoas,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, at $3.50 O'Clock next Wednes-
day morning and will leave immedi-
ately for Denver en- route to Seattle
and other places on the Pacific coast
on a wedding tour. Invitations to the
forthcoming nuptials were issued a
few days ago.

Pasadena, Cal. Aug. s.-Criticism
OF Luther Burbank and his methods.
which has been going on among the

hart said that when he visited Bur-
bank in July he was handed Q card
which stated that Burbank's time was
worth SO IN hour. He said that
Burbank informed him that he was
q busier man than President Taft.
and was doing more that al the gov
ernment bureaus and private stations
in the world to produce new fruits
and flowers.
Following 10 the resolution:
"Be II resolved, That the Pasadena
Gardeners association hereby strong
ly condemns the nature-fA6ng meth
