Report of Comptroller Of Currency of
National Banks Shows Loan
Expansion Well
Distributed
TAssnciated Pressl

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Dealings in
stocks today were scarcely larger than
yesterday. The thinness of the market
was as marked on the selling side as
on the buying side, and it required but
a small absorption to lift prices.
Todays movement lacked authorita-
tive explanation. A supposition nat
urally arose that some financial project
was working, out designed to change
the relation between properties, already
very close by reason of the control OF
louisville & Nashville held by Atlantic
Coast line, and a mutual control OF
other properties held by Louisville d
Nashville & Southern railway. Untll
the movement in these stocks stlmu-
lated some vitality in the rest OF the
market it was practically lifeless. An
early attempt to depress prices met
with little success, and this as much
as anv definite news of conditions
prompted the latter upward movement.
The quieting down of affairs in Phlla-
delphia was accepted as good news.
The abstract of the reports to the
COMPTROLLER of the currency OF the
national banks of the country as OF
January 81 shows the loan expansion
since the November Is report we'll dis
tributed. the New York banks being
responsible for less than $1S,000,000 of
the $50, 715, $50 aggregate increase for
that period. The stock market liquida-
tion effected in that interval explains
this relative showing. In the yearly
comparison, however, there is shown
an increase since February last OF

Commerce, through its country life
committee and it's secretary, will do
ing the exact dates of blooming and
ripening of the leading commercial
varieties of apples, pears, pluns and
cherries in the Bitter Root valley.
The chamber of commerce asks the
cooperation of all the fruitgrowers of
the valley, as this work is considered
of great importance and the ultimate re-
suits will be of much benfit to the
community.
The taking of the desired notes is
not laborious, neither does it consume
much time, but requires accurate OBJ
servation and the noting of dates at
the proper time. The notes desired
will, in brief, cover the following
points for each variety reported on:
The date of the first bloom, date of
full bloom, date of the unfolding of
the leaves, date of formation of the
terminal buds, date of picking of the
fruit and the period of use.
Necessary blanks with full instruc-
tions, will be forwarded soon to the
fruitgrowers of the valley, and it is
hop that the chamber Of commerce
will hear from many of them with
reports tor all the varieties grown in
the valley. The date thus gathered
will be compiled and kept for scien-
tific reference.

CARRY A. NATION
DRAWS BIG CROWD

Garry A. Nation, of worldwide fame
as smasher, delivered her lecture IN
Hamilton last Wednesday night. She
arrived here at p. IN. and was enter
tanned at the home of Rev. T. H. Bar
ker, departing the following morning
for South Dakota, where she has en-
listed in the campaign being waged to
bring about re-submission of prohbi-
ton to the voters of the state.
Mrs. Nation has a good voice and is
an energetic speaker. She declared
that the Bible is her hdtchet and then
in the course Of couple of hours pro
ceeded to denounce, with smashing
terms, all saloon keepers, tobacco
users, gamblers and scarlet women,
women who wear rats" Merry Widow
hats and corsets; President Taft, be-
cause he is a Unitarian; former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the Masonic fraternity,
women who wear anything but plain
dress and modest attire, the republican,
democratic, and socialist parties and
all church members and every bod y
who votes these tickets; the anti
saloon league, and, in short, every
body who does not indorse her partic-
ular brand of prohibition. Interspers-
ing her remarks throughout were
references to her book and souvenir
hatchets which were placed on sale at
the close of the meeting and which
attracted many purchasers. One
third of the box Office receipts, about
$75, she donated to the local w. C. T..
U. under whose auspices the meeting
was held.
Mrs. Nation spoke to packed house
and was accorded a respectful and at
tentive audience, there being only one
interruption, some stranger challeng-
ing some of her statements. She
squelched him in a hurry.
Mrs. Nation did not attempt to visit
the saloons while here and in conver-
sation stated that this appeared to be
one of the most orderly communities
she had ever visited.
