plished by digging a trench 2 feet

Don't throw away an old shoe just

u cover for the leather holder and are
soft and comfortable for the hands.

IALL WELL, SAYS Mr.. GATES
Wall Street Dulness Met by Good
Prospects in Country.

John w. Gates. who is in the city after
an absence of several weeks IN Texas.
spoke hopefully yesterday OF the crop pros
poets in the Southwest and of the general
business outlook
Wall Street appears. TO be a very blue
spot ar the moment" he said. but there
is every indication OF bountiful harvests.
and this cannot result otherwise than IN
changing pessirlism into optimism in time.
IN the West every one is preparing for Zig
harvests. based upon the very favorable
weather conditions which have prevailed.
The situation in Texas Is the best in the
history Of the state. Cotton in Southern
Texas is from six 70 ten inches high. Corn
is up. and everything looks good.
Wall Street may be blue, but funda-
mental conditions are sound everywhere
The banks are all strong IN cash-in lact
the majority OF them have too much
money. For the last four wears the policy
has been 10 curtail, retrench, weed out
the bad from the good and econonize in
general. The result has beer TO place the
finances OF the country on sounder basis
and strengthen the business situation in
general The steel outlook in general is
not bad by any means. but. like other
lines Of trade. II is being held up by po-
litical agitation
The percentage Of stocks held on margin
is small compared with former years. and
in consequence speculation IL not so much
IN evidence. People have a much better
understanding as TO the actual value and
merits OF securities. and are beginning 70
realize more and more the wisdom Of buy
ing good issues outright and holding them
for the income thereon. regardless Of huc-
tuatons"
