Change of Methods
In Crockery Field
More Road and Less Spot Business
Being Done in Fall, Is Report
of Glass Publication.

There is change Of merchandis-
Ing methods apparently going on in
the crockery aud glass field. Every
wear. according to The Crocl<ery and
Glass Journal there is more road and
less spot business being done in these
lines for fall. The influx ot Southern
buyers, which formerly made its an
pearance shortly after the first of July,
is yearly growing smaller and small
or. and the Western Wholesalers VINO
used to come into the market every
fall. now do the bulk of their buying
for the year in the sprlas. The
growth OF the import business is held
largely responsible for this change OF
conditions, and it is becoming a
much mooted question whether or not
the trade is better off with the buy
ing done in this way.

PHILADELPHIA Oct. 25.-The re-
port that the Pennsylvania intends to
place big blanket mortgage is in
tereSting If it is to be inferred there
from that the company proposes to
take care of future financing by
means of bonds rather than stock
issues.
1t has been suggested that the lat
est of the many increases in the
stock in recent years, which brought
the outstanding capital stock up to
about S50O,000,0O0, marked the end of
the era Of financing by means of
stock issues and that the company
would provide for future fine ncfal
needs by a recourse to the sale of
bonds.
May Fatten Dividends.
If it is correct that the capital
stock is to be left unchanged at the
present figure the fact might have
some bearing upon the future poSsi-
bilities in regard to the dividend. II
might be argued that a higher div
idend rate for Pennsylvania stock
was more probable.
The record of the growth of the
Pennsylvania system in the past ten
years has been remarkable in the
respect that despite the enormous in.

EXONERAT|NC
CITY BANK COSTS
IS. OFFICIAL JOB
An Assistant of the National Bank
Exainer in New York Is
Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.--After an
Inquiry by its special investigators.
the Treasury Department has dis
missed one Of the assistants to the
National Bank Examiner in New
York, who prepared the recent re-
port generating the National City
Bank OF New York, of the charge of
violating the National Banking law
in raising $45,000,000 for Samuel In
sui and Henry A. Blair, of Chicago,
fUy a merger of local traction inter
ests.
The investigation convinced the
Treasury Department officials that
The report, which "Whitewashed'
Frank A. Vanderlip AMI Samuel Nc
Roberts, president and vice president
OF the National City Bank respective
ly, was not justified.
New Report forthcoming.
Accordingly, National Bank Exam
liner Starek, at New York, is now
making another investigation Of the
charges filed with the department by
j. r. Hogarth Of Chicago, and his
report is expected soon.
1t has developed that the Treasury
Department officials have gained the
impression that the National City
Bank felt 1t had put one over" on
the Government both by negotiating
the big transaction with the Chicago
men, and by securing a report from
the Treasury Departments agent that
there was no turptude in the affair.
To'Prohe the Syndicate.
They believe that the deal was han
died by a syndicate, as admitted by
the bank officials, but they believe
also that the members of the syndi-
cate either directly or indirectly,
were interested in the bank, and that
In effect it was strictly a National
City Bank investment.
It is this proposition which Bank
Examiner Starek has been instructed
to investigate most thoroughly.
The name of the man who was dis
missed could not be learned, but
next to the currency bill-the in
quiry into the Chicago deal is occu-
plying most of the departments at
tention.

TARIFF AND PlpE.MAkERs

In view OF the increasing popularity
of English made pipes, even under the
old tariff, domestic manufacturers are
the reduction in duty on pipes from 60
to 50 per cent. In addition. there is
now a tax Of 81 a pound on raw am
her and amberoid. which under the for
mer tariff was DUTY iree. and another
tax of 20 per cent on meerschaum,
which was also on the free list II is
thought likely, however, that the tax on
amber will act as a spur to the produC-
ton and use Of amber substitutes.
