Is clear enough that they are not insti-
buttons that ought to gain the same kind
Of wide public confidence that is held
that is held by local building and loan as
sociations in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Both these institutions, the savings
bank and the building and loan associa-
ton. are fine Institutions which serve one
Of the most useful functions which can
be imagined. namely, the conservation
of the money OF the little people. The
business of investment can never take
the place, and never should take the
place, of institutions such as these.
There comes a time, however. in the af-
fairs of the man or woman who is saw
ing money when II Is sensible to look
about and see whether or not II would
be safe and wise TO go a step beyond
the mere saving of money and make in
vestments in mortgages or securities.
Most people reach this point when they
find themselves with a thousand dollars
or upward which they do not need and
for which they can see no possible need
In the near future. When that condition
is reached they want to take their first
step in investment
The first step, of course. is the most
important one, and II Is necessary to be
careful II at the outset a man becomes
connected with and seeks the advice Of
conservative, sensible. and honest bank
ers he will get as good service, he will
feel as safe. and ne will actually be as
safe in the investment field as the citizen
Of New York is in his savings bank or
the citizen OF Pennsylvania in his local
building and loan association

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Restoration of Industrial and Mercantile Pros
perity Seems Certain from Record-breaking
Crops and Big Production of Iron, Steel,
Copper and Other Products

New York. Sept. 13.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade has lost none of its wonted
vim. and activity abounds, though 1t is
modified In degree in some parts Of the
Southwest where excessive heat has pre-
vailed. while being accumulated through
the West and Northwest Everywhere
buying Is predicated on the uniformly good
influences that record or close to record
crops will generate. and financiers. mer-
chants. and captains Of industry are.
without notable exception. exceedingly
optimistic. Jobbers rather than first
hands are occupying the center of the
stage. but manufacturers are experience
ing especial activity in turning out or
ders previously booked. However. the
pre-eminent features at the moment are
the active demands made on jobbers for
goods intended for near future sale.
House trade, especially in dry goods and
kindred lines, has been especially good.
while road sales are of larger proper
tons and. call for recorders may be ex-
pected to Increase, now that the harvest
season Is nearing conclusion. In fact.
mail orders for sorts have appeared In
rather liberal volume. and incidentally
more or less spring business in dry goods
has developed, but on the whole. orders
for distant delivery are not particularly
which indicates that buoyant
sentiment Is not swaying buyers toward
speculation.
Business failures for the week ending
September II were 23i against 19l last
week. 2l9 In the like week Of 1911, 30 In
1910, 19s in 1903. and 265 in 19os.''

New York, Sept. 1s.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say:
misunderstanding crops and record
breaking production of iron. steel. copper,
and other products have created "a con-
viction that the advance toward COM
plete restoration of Industrial and her
camille prosperity is sure and permaL-zt-
The principal obstacles to that advance
are not disputes over economic theories,
but shortages in money, in labor, and
in transportation facilities. The monthly
government crop report issued this week
confirmed preliminary estimates of enor-
nous crops of corn, spring wheat, oats,
hay. fruit, and other products. The re-
cent weather has been extremely favor
able. The outlook for good cotton
crop is also favorable. and altogether
the prospects are for a year OF unprece-
dented agricultural wealth.
Demand is exceeding supply in the
iron and steel trade, and orders are ac-
cumulating for the next year. Produc-
ton and domestic shipments of copper
are breaking former records. Increasing
activity is reported in the various
branches of the dry goods trade. and
the advices from the leading cities speak
uniformly of a quickened wholesale and
retail movement. The shoe trade Is
steadily improving. Lumber sales are
large. Building operations are extensive.
Railroad earnings In August increased Z
per cent. shortage of cars to handle
the expanding traffic Of the country is
now regarded as probable. August an
thracits production was unprecedented.
Bank exchanges also confirm the in
creasing activity Of business

BY finally ratifying the decision OF
Commissioner bennett of the General Land
ONCE, Secretary Of the Interior Fisher
yesterday cancelled thirty-three Of the
so-called Cunningham Alaska coal land
claims. These claims, which contributed
largely to the Ballinger- Pinchot contro-
versy are now finally disposed OF.
Through the taking out OF blanket
patents it was alleged that John Cum
bingham and Clarence Cunningham had
secured for themselves extensive tracts
Of government lands richly underlain by
coal deposits. In the final examination
of the patents made by Secretary Fisher.
the name OF Cunningham actually appears
but twice.
The sum Of s., 500 was paid for these
claims This amount will be forfeited as

Southern Railway Preferred Goes

Announcement.
MARKET IS FIRM AT THE CLOSE

New York, Sept. 13.-Practically all
stocks made fractional net advances to-
day Southern Railway preferred gained
more than two points on announcement
that the dividend had been restored to
per cent Central Leather preferred.
Great Northern Ore. and American Snun
were higher. Transactions were on a
very light scale, but larger percent
age Of actual business was done than
for some days. Investors are picking
up stocks, firm in the belief that the
business situation is too strong to be
upset by the politicians. The market
closed firm.
GoIdfield consolidated, on heavy trans
actions sold down to-day to the lowest
price on record The decline Of to-day
evidently means that there is to be an
other reduction OF the dividend
Some apprehension is felt because the
Interstate Commerce Commission Is ex-
pected to render a decision in october
that will compel the misunderstanding
railroads to reduce their rates on coal
possibly 80 per cent. What Is lost by the
railroads in freight viii be gained by the
mining companies, which are under the
same control, so that nothing will be
lost. But, even admitting that there
NAV be considerable loss to these par
ticular roads, the growth OF the business
is so general throughout the country that
the situation as a whole will not be
seriously impaired. The export of agri-
cultural products this year promises to
be the greatest in the history Of the
country.
Operators who are worrying about the
possibility OF tariff reform have over
looked the fact that all candidates have
already announced a conservative pro-
gramme in regard TO the tariff. Even
II there be a new administration at
Washington next year, it will come into
power at time when business improve
ment is so pronounced that even the
most radical President would hesitate to
interrupt it with any theoretical expert
ments.
