Bank Shortage


Biddeford, Me, Aug. 26.-An an
nouncement that an estimate of the
total shortage in the accounts of For
mer Treasurer Richmond H. Ingersoll
of the York County Savings Bank will
be made as soon as a sufficient number
of passboOks have been examined to
warrant an approximate estimate of
the percentage Of changes was made
today by President Charles H. Pres
colt of the closed bank and State Bank
Examiner Shelton. 1t is probable that
this can be done during the early part
of the coming week. i.
Twenty four hundred of the $500
books have been received. Seven hun
dred have been compared with the gen.
eral ledger. The officials found a con-
siderable number which differ from the
books at the bank, some in considerable
amount and some only to trifing ex-
tent.
A special representative Of the bond
Ing company which furnished the
treasurer's $4,000 bond had a confer
ence with President Prescott and Ex-
aminer Shelton today and he will try
to see Mr.. Ingersoll.

Food Crop Advices Are
More Favorable.
Undalione Better in Iron and
Steel, Says Bradslreei's.
Maine Mas Very Good Nay Crop and
Fair Potato Yield.

New York, Aug. 26.-Bradstreet's
State of Trade tomorrow will say:
House trade continues to expand at
leading markets, food crop advices are
mare favorable, iron and steel trade
renorts display better undertone, the
movement of wheat is heavy, buyers
excul sions are general, and collections
show q little improvement. However,
the general situation remains rather
irregular, in that current trade reports
the country over are not uniformly ia
vorable. Complaints are made that
profits are light which fact is due to
the high cost Of raw material. In re-
tail lines clearance sales are the chief
features, but trade as a whole is dis
appointing, except at some large cities
in the West, where conventions tend
to enlarge the turnover.
A rather more hopeful feeling pre-
walls in the Eastern shoe trade. but
factories report orders on hand hard
ly satisfactory and could turn out 25
to 40 per cent. more shoes without
trouble. Stocks in wholesalers hands
are reported not burdensome and some
are asking that shipments be rushed.
Sales of leather are moderate and hides
are very quiet.
Aside from the fear that cooler
weather toward the close Of the week
Wrui ir~a CORN the general crop re-
pert tie eek vas OF continued i'm
provement, except for cotton in Texas.
Reports to Bradstreets from Maine
point to a large. good quality hay crop
and an average potato crop. but sweet
corn is maturing slowly.
Demand for copper has fallen off and
the undertone of prices is little soft
er. Buying is largely of a speculative
| character, to which may be ascribed
| whatever fluctuations have occurred
from day to day. The larger interests
are not pressing supplies. but second
| hands are disposing Of enough to pre-
vent a steady price situation.
Wheat. including flour, exports from
| the United States and Canada for the
week ending Aug. rs, as reported to
Bradstreet's aggregate 1,293914 BUSH
els. against 2.934.543 this week last
year. For the eight weeks ending Aug.
rs exports are 1884 1856 bushels. against
14.O2s.2O5 in the corresponding period
last year Corn exports for the week
are 1885, 69 bushels against $500 in 1909.
corn exports are 2,0S6,0O2 bushels
against 7S4,492 last year.
Business failures for the week end
ing Aug. % were 235 against POI in the
like week of 1909: 236 in 1908; 1877 in
1907 and l39 in 1906.
Wholesale trade in Canada ranges
from fairly good In the East to active
In the West. Crop reports are more re-
assuring. estimates Of wheat yield are
enlarging. and this fact tends to
brighten the outlook for a large turn
over this fall. Montreal reports whole
sale trade to be In fairly healthy
state.
Business failures throughout the do
miniOn for the week ending with
Thursday last number IS. which COM
pares with 80 In the corresponding
Week Of 1909.

Russian Cholera
lConditionl Better,

st. Petersburg, Aug. pa slight
improvement in cholera conditions in
South Russia is shown by the latest re-
ports to the government sanitary
bureau and to the Red Cross, which is
taken as a sign that the epidemic is
now on the wane. Reports to the sani
tary bureau for the week from Aug. IA
ito Aug. 20, inclusive, give 1916 new
eases and TAB deaths as compared
with 23,944 cases and 1923 deaths
for the previous week, making grand
total Of 12l ,091 cases and 5000 deaths
fCf this years epidemic. ,,e.s
Professor Rein, at the head of the
special sanitary commission dispatches
to South Russia to combat the out
break. reports that the epidemic in the
DOnetZ mining region in South Russia
.is on the decrease. At YuZOVka, the
principal center of the district, there
are only sporadic cases and the same
h, true throughout the districts of
Bakhmut and Slavyanoserbsk. The
great Improvement is due to the intro
Guction of proper methods of MEDICAL
aid.
: The mine owners of South Russia,
who recently declared that they would
have to suspend operations on account
of the flight of the workmen. and
whose refusal to undertake contracts
for the delivery Of pig iron has en-
barrassed the iron industry in Russia,
report that their workmen are begin
ming to return to the mines in consid-
cradle numbers. The proposal to re-
duce the duty on pig iron has had a
particularly good effect in squirting on
the mine owners to take measures to
combat the exodus of the workmen.

War on the Midway.

An impromptu war on the Midway
Thursday afternoon threatened Tor
while to abolish a certain line OF bus
mess from the grounds AS it was sew
eral "fakirs" were obliged to stop do
ing business. A dozen sO-called bowl
ing games are in business, some of the
box ball variety, some game at which
balls were thrown at ten pins and then
there was the old straight game of ten
pins. Business had not been very good
because of the fact that too many
places have been running. So one
bright youth conceived scheme by
which he would get the business away
from his competitors and put lot OF
Bangor money in his pocket.
His scheme was to form a pool of six
men, each man paying 10 cents. Eiach
man was to roll one ball and the man
knocking down the largest number OF
pins was to receive the pool after the
proprietor had deducted 20 cents for
his share.
The game caught on in great shape
and soon this shrewd business man
was busy as the proyerbial bee. while
his competitors were standing idling
about and watching the crowds at the
booth-of the shrewd one.
But soon there was competition in
the new game and before long several
of these booths were working the pool
game One man who intended to run
a square game thought it was about
time for him to take a hand, so he
reported to the police that gambling
was going on. The police investigated
RI ho or fhaU IN
formed the guilty ones to go back to
the old game or leave the grounds. The
latter alternative was accepted by
those who had been running the pool
and they left the grounds, much to the
satisfaction Of the man who wanted to
run a square game. They did not leave.
however, without paying their respects
to the man who they alleged was re-
sponsible for their being debarred
from doing business.
Rev. W. F. Berry Of Waterville was
on the grounds Thursday afternoon
and the story became noised about
that he was responsible for stopping
the games. This, however, is not admit
ted by the police.
Randall B. Williams OF Brewer. SUI
perintendent of the water department
at Maplewood park, called at the Jour
nal building Friday and in the course
of his talk said he was the oldest en-
ploye of the Fair Association, having
been with it in his present position
since 1885. Mr.. Williams told of the diff
ference in conditions now and when he
came here. He said that more than a
mile of pipe is laid in the park, some
of it under ground and some of it above
ground During his spare minutes dur
ing Fair week Mr.. Williams is always
looking for some way in which to as
sist the newspaper men and does many
little favors for them that are always
appreciated.
One of the most unique and interest
ing exhibits on the Midway the past
week is that of the International Stock
CO., 4 mammoth hog. The porker is %
months old and weighs over 1900
pounds. His measurements were taken
Friday by DR.. W. D. Smith, V. s.. Of
Bangor and they are as follows: Girth
of neck. 4 feet, 3 inches; at back of
forward legs, feet, II inches: length
from the root of tail. feet, inches.
This large animal Is being exhibited
at the Maine fairs and came from Win
nipeg, Manitoba.
