LARGE INCREASE
This Reflects Conditions of the
Times-Railroads Report that
Earnings Are Larger.
STEEL ORDERS sWELLED

New York. Aug. 31.-With every sail
filled, the good ship prosperity is
gaining Roadway on its voyage TO the
promised land of better times. Financiers
and corporations OF industry in the
crows nest report all is well, but they
are nevertheless straining their eyes in
search OF possible signs of danger.
Attention at present is directed to the
money situation which is now looming
up in greater proportions, now that the
drains on the banks supply Of funds is
under way. The past week has Witness
ed a worldwide increase in the demands
for money. and this has been reflected by
a stiffening of rates at all the important
financial centers. Advances in rates for
both call and time money have occurred
IN this country the past Week. while the
Bank of England raised its discount rate
from 3 10 1 per cent
Industrial expansion in this country is
reflected by the increase of nearly IL per
cent IN clearings. With the present quiet
ness of securities nobody can say that
the expansion in clearings Is due to
SPECULATION by Wall Street.
Tonnage shows Increase.
Tbs Increased business Of Americans is
shown in the heavier tonnage now flow
ing over our arteries of commerce. Rail-
distinctly favorable. showing large in
creases in gross as well as in net. This
impaired firmness to railroad shares or
the New York Stock Exchange. investors
believing the roads are not as bad off
as they have been told. Ever since the
railroads were refused an advance IN
rates by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission their officials have been calling
the attention of the general public TO the
rapidity with which they are approaching
bankruptcy. Reports of earnings now
coming 10 hand caused these utteranCcs
TO be treated with indifference.
Glowing reports of the big business be-
ing done by the steel companies are re-
ceived daily. Orders being received by
the Steel Trust are in excess of produc-
ton, so that its statement OF untitled
tonnage as of to-day is expected to sfOE-
a further increase in the tonnage on its
books. Earnings Of the corporation for
the month of August are estimated at
about s1O.01C00O. II Is expected that they
will approximate that figure next month.
Speculation on the New York Stock EX-
change this past week was quiet, prices
of securities holding firm Wall Street is
witnessing the unusual spectacle Of a
quiet stocl market coincident with in
dustrial and commercial activity.

from n Touring Car.

Thousands of Americans never knew
their country until the advent of the
motor car. Its Switzerlands, its Rhines.
its Italian lakes, were sung only in the
prose or verse of pioneers. who by
wagon trail. on horse. or in canoe had
penetrated regions fair as Europe at her
tcst can boast"
From railway car window. the trav-

bling streams, came with the automo-

The car is built in response to the
demand OF dealers and owners every

previous rich models. but with a long

As a salesman's or professional man

had no session. The exchange adjourned
over from Friday to Tuesday.
Banks Must Not Contribute.
National banks may forward other peo-
pies contributions to political campaign
funds, but they may not contribute
money of their own to any campaign for
public Office. Acting Comptroller of the
Currency Thomas p. Kane stated yester-
day.
The act of January a6, 1907. Mr.. Kane
pointed out, specifically forbids national
banks, or any corporation organized by
authority of Congress. to make money
contributions in connection with any cleo
ton to political Office. including the Of
fees of President, Vice President. Sena-
tor. and Representative in Congress.
The penalty for the violation of that
act is a fine not exceeding 5000 against
the corporation, as well as a fine rang
ing from $50 to $1,000 against every Of
ficer and director conserving to the con-
tribution, or their imprisonment for not
more than one year, or both.
Railway Formally Transferred.
The Washington Railway and Electric
Company yesterday assumed formal pos
session of the Anseostia and Potomac
River Railroad, a deed transferring all
the property. rights, and franchises OF
the latter company TO the Washington
Railway and Electric Company being
filed for record in the District Supreme
Court.
The consideration WIS s5ooo,oOO, accord
ing to the deed.
The filing Of this deed marked the exc
cution of a part of the programme adopt-
ed at the last meeting of the board OF
directors of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company by which the Ana
costa line was consolidated with the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. under the one company name. The
whole proceeding was largely formal,
since the company already owned all of
the stock of the Anacostia iines and the
transfer means merely that a closer re-
Iationship will be secured by the aboli-
ton of the method of operation under
stock ownership.
