New York, July 7-(Special) Ca bies are poor and Manchester buyers are in- different This eased the market at the opening and further liquidation followed on additional rains in Texas. Tempera- lures there continue high and create some anxiety.
 Outside of Texas the conditions of the crop favors selling, with the possibility of some injury the only reason for ex- pecting higher prices. Even in Texas the crop damage is not vet an element or great importance The weather or tne next six weeks is the key to the market: Reports from Manchester say there VIII he no shutdown.

To Change Bank Statement

New York. July 7.-Because of con- siderable adverse criticism, the clear ing house statement beginning tomor- row will not include the 25 per cent reserve of the trust company member Instead, only the 15 per cent cash actu- ally held by the trust companies in their own vaults will figure in the reserve account and the surplus re- serve will be based on the actual cash holdings of banks and trust, companies. This will have the effect of creating a smaller surplus reserve than has ap- peared for the past few weeks.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1911-01-04
SHAW REMEMBERS DENiSON.
Sends Christmas Gift of $500 to the
First Methodist Church Of
This City.

The officials of the Methodist church
here are delighted with their success
in raising the money to pay the ex
penses of improvements recently put
upon the church. They especially ap.
preciate the donation of Hon. Leslie
NJ. Shaw, who, on Christmas morning,
had delivered to Mr. E. Gulick, the
treasurer of the church, check for
5000. Mr.. Shaw proves his affection
for Denison in SO many ways that his
old friends here have come to look
upon him as one of the dependable
supports of the city.
The expenses for decorating and re-
modelling the church cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, almost all of which
has been provided, and it is safe to
say that the remainder will be forth
coming without much effort. The beau
tiful pipe organ, furnished by Mr. and
Mrs. c. l.. Voss, was put in at an ex-
pense to them alone of $4,000. The
members of the church are delighted
not only with the organ, but with the
improvements made on the church,
which are of permanent character and
will relieve the church of any expense
come.

CONG. SMITH TO
HELP DENIS0N
He Promises That if Any Appropria-
tion is Passed Denison Will be
Favored.
ARCHITECTS OFFICE is BEHIND
There is Thus no Immediate Prospect
That Denison's Building Will
Be Built on This Account.

Hon. J. P. Conner, through whose
efforts while a member of congress
Denison first secured recognition in
the appropriation of $4,000 for the
ing and who later secured the author
ization for $4,000 building to be
erected here, has been pushing the
matter of getting the requisite appro-
priation through congress. He has
been in communication with Con-
gressman Walter l. Smith, member
of the appropriation committee of the
house, and he has secured his promise
that in event that any appropriation
bill is passed for public buildings at
this session he will do his best to Sc
cure the required amounts, both for
this city and for Red Oak, which is

Mr.. Smith points out that the super

done without delaying any OF these
in the next fiscal year, it
would not seem wise to appropriate
this money at this time when nothing
was to be attained by it.
