New York, Sept. 26.-Depression
and nervousness have again ruled the
Stock Exchange No account was
taken of improvement in the Moroc-
ton of our foreign trade, the strength
ened condition of American banks or
the fact that We have been able to
loan large sums to Europe and take
back considerable amounts of stocks
sold by foreign owners. Nor was any
account taken of improvement in the
crop situation, or the knowledge that
our crops will be above average in
quantity, that they will bring good
prices and insure the American farm
er another year of prosperity, that the
distribution of cotton goods has been
accelerated by price concessions and
that the cotton goods industry is be-
ing somewhat relieved by the decline
in cotton, that the iron trade is more
active and that larger volume of
business has been done than is gener-
ally realized because of price conces-
sions or that the exports of steel man.

pears to revel in pessimism. The
strained monetary conditions abroad
arising from the continued fall in Sc
curities served to aggravate the de-
preston here, particular attention be-
ing paid to the simultaneous advance
in an the principal foreign bank rates
and the decline in British Consols-
the latter due entirely to the ability
of capital to secure better rates thar

the steropticai views OF his coun-

more than anxious to get accus-
toned TO our ways and 10 adapt

butte to America. He loved this
country and would love to con-
tinue living here but then his high
est ambition was to go back to
Japan and help our missionaries
teach his people. There are many'l
Japanese and Chinese students In
this country and the knowledge OF

the fruits OF the efforts of our
