SUCCESS OF NEGRO BANKS.
Fifty-seven Operated by the Race In
the United States.


HE successful operation of large
financial concerns by Afro Americans
should dispel the oft repeated saying
that the race has failed to demonstrate
Its ability in business ventures of
strictly financial character.
The National Negro Bankers asso-
ciation is an evidence of the fact that
the race is advancing in the higher
realms of finance In 1900 there we're
not more than three real bona 6de
banking institutions under Negro man
agement. At the present time there
are tfty-seven.
These ifty-seven banks have paid
up capital of over a million dollars.
Their clearings for the past fiscal year
were about twenty millions.
Among the older banking institutions
may be mentioned the True Reformer's
Savings bank. Richmond. Va, Rev W.
L. Taylor president; the Penny Savings
bank. Birmingham. Ala, Rev. DR.. w.
r. Pettiford president and the Savings
bank at Mound Bayou, Miss, of which
Mr.. Charles Banks is president.
The latter town, as is generally well
known, is inha bited solely by Afro
Americans and was founded many
years ago by Isaiah T. Montgomery
Of the hfty-seven banks forty belong
to the National Negro Bankers asso-
citation The other seventeen will soon
join us the spirit of union along all
lines OF business among our people is
rife
In a recent interview with the presi
dent Of the Penny Savings bank of Bir-
mingham. Ala, he said that the great
est problem Of the banking institu-
tons conducted by the race was to ed
ucate our people TO know the purpose
and appreciate the value Of these inan-
ciaI Institutions
Many enterprisiug negroes fail, he
said. because they are unable to bor-
row enough capital to carry them
through their business They pay half
of the money in cash when they buy a
house. for instance, aud then they lose
ii because they can't raise the remain
der before the notes run out. II the
capital of some of the wealthy Negroes
were concentrated in banks this would
not happen.

ABOUT LAND.

The increase of property holding by
the race is the one most gratifying
feature of our activity in this section
of the country. 1t matters not how
much or how little, We buy, and
whether it is farm land or city lots,
the fact that we have land, lends us
added dignity and consideration. 1t

fellows. The renter may be moral

Customs of the Miius.

Curious customs are noted among
the Minus, littleknown Asiatic race,
by an explorer, who writes: Though
living on the borders of Thibet, no
trace of Buddhism is found among
them. Their religion is animistic and
consists in the Precipitation of the vari-
Gus spirits to whom sickness, failure
of crops and such like calamities are
attributed. The Precipitation takes the
form usually of the sacrifice of a fowl
or a pig, small portion being set
aside for the spirit, the rest going
down the throats of the offerer and
his family.
"The Minus bury their dead in a
suitable spot near the house." the
same traveller continues. "A child is
buried at once, but the corpse of an
adult is kept in the house from two to
four days. The length of time inter-
vening between death and burial de-
pends on the wealth of the deceased
the wealthier the man the longer the
period.
"a month or so after burial, when
the deceased relatives have had time
to prepare for 1t, feast is given to
the village. The grave is then opened

A Birds SAVINGS Bank.

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall of the
year, invariably in a pine tree. Then
he find an acorn, which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its re-
ception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for
as rule, he is not vegetarian. His
object is storing away the acorns ex-
hibits foresight and knowledge of
results more akin to reason than to
instinct. The succeeding winter the
acorns remain intact, but, becoming
saturated, are predisposed to decay,
when they are attacked by maggots,
which seem to delight in this special
food.
1t is than that the woodpecker
reaps the harvest his wisdom has pro-
vided, at time when, the ground be-
ing covered with snow, he would ex-
perience a difficulty otherwise in OBJ
tanning suitable or palatabla food

Transportation lines, particularly in
the north and west, have been ham,

famine still exists at many western
points. Indoor industries seem to be
actively employed, notably iron and
steel and shoe manufacturing.
Best reports as to new business in
iron and steel come from the west,
while eastern markets are rather
quiet. There is some disappointment
at the volume of buying Of rails by

Geological Puzzle.

Italian biologists have puzzle to
solve, owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body of white
bear, which has been brought to Aosta.
1t was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago, and must have been pre-.
served by the ice, since it has always
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
it has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place a
few days previous to discovery. At
this would seem to show that there
are still white bears in the Alps. ex
petitions are to be sent to test the
theory.

TRADE IS NORMAL.
Volume Of Business as Measured by

Earnings ls Heavy.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review Of trade says:
Notwithstanding the seasonable lull
IN business general conditions are full
ly normal and the volume OF trade as
measured by bank exchanges and rail-
road earnings is very heavy. There
is a wide diversity OF reports from the
different trades and trade centers, but
even the least satisfactory indicates
no fundamental weakness.
An increased demand for pig iron IL
indicated, with buyers displaying more
interest than for several weeks, and
praices show a hardening tendency in
some districts. Inquiry is broadening
quite generally, with sales Of from 40,-
900 to $4,000 tons of various grades
noted at the west, while business in
some parts of the east shows an ap-
precable expansion, mostly in NAL
leable iron. Steel making iron, how
ever, continues inactive and in some
markets basic is still available at SIT.
Considerable irregularity has devel-
oped in finished lines, but some dull
ness in this division is not surprising,
after the phenomenally heavy specify
ing before last year closed. This has
resulted in the accumulation Of large
stocks in jobbers' hands, yet buyers,
in many instances, still appear willing
to make contracts for distant periods.
