MANY BANKS WISH TO

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Severai
months will be required to make prepar-
atoms for establishing postal savings
banks according to the opinion express
ed by Postmaster General Hitchcock be-
fore leaving the United States recently
for a brief vacation abroad '
The desire of President Taft to have
the system operated in part as soon as
possible by the establishment of from
10 to 20 experimental postal banks prop
ably will hasten the work of opening
them for business
The trustees of the postal savings
bank system will hold a meeting short
ly after Mr.. Hitchcock returns % this
city when 1t is expected both Secretary
MacVeagh, of the treasury department
and Attorney General Wickersham, the
other trustees, will be here. The COM
mittee of government officials winch is

ization, has received no replies as Yet
from foreign governments to the request
for various blanks and regulations per-

Interest throughout the country con-
corning the establishment of postal saw

COTTON STILL CLIMBING
ON EXCITED MARKET

NEW YORK. July 1s.-There was a re-
newal at the, opening today Of the in
tense excitement noted in the cotton
market toward the close fast week
The demand for July seemed to be much
less active, suggesting that sufficient cot
ton had been secured in the south or
abroad TO satisfy such contracts as re-
NAMED outstanding, but that position
made a new high record for the esason'
selling at 1856, while there was sensa-
tional demand for August and Septem-
Der, with these deliveries selling any
where from "a to 3s points over the clos
ing figures of Saturday.
The excitement was not entirely con-
fined to the near position, for, owing
to the bullfsh character of many private
crop advices and rather unsatisfactory
weather over Sunday, there seemed 10
be a scare of foreign shorts in the new
crop months, and with a broadening IN
yestment also in evidence, these dellV-
cries sold about rs to 81 points net
higher, without, however. quite reach
ing the high records reported carrier
in the session.
Cotton appears to be coming here from
practically all directions, and 1t is SAID
that southern shippers can even pay
ali rail freights and send cotton here
at a profit as compared with spot cot
ton. quotations of the south, but while
shippers may be able to ship here proht-
ably, the original short interest in the
near months must be taking enormous
losses. while there is little doubt that
the bulls are securing big profits from
the sales of contracts.

We're present.
1t was felt by the aldermen. of the
police committee that in view of the
heavy expenses incurred in other
municipal departments this year. it
would not be well to ask the coun
Gil to create such an office nor for an
appropriation for a salary as such an
office would necessarily demand. 9th
ers in the city feel that the size of
Fargo does not warrant the mainten-
ence of such an official as a police
matron, and the cases where female
arrests have been made are so infre-
quent that the services of such an
officer would not be in constant de-
mand
The attitude of the various church
brotherhoods, it is understood how
ever, is not to insist upon the crea-
ton of such an officer, not to ask
the city for any financial assistance
toward the maintenance of one of
appointment. 1t is learned from diff
terent sources that a general NUM-
cipal movement of reformation pre-
walls among the societies, and that
all may concur in the establishment

of police matron in conjunction with
the work of the associated charities.
