Editor of The Financial World

Businessmen everywhere are down
in the mouth. They talk glumly about
poor orders and disinclination on the
part of customers to buy goods beyond
their barest necessities. Trade condi-
tions, 1t is true, are far from normal.
but no fundamental weakness that can
be seen, is responsible for them Bank
deposits have seldom been as large as
are now reported OF idle capital we
have indeed a surfeit. When money is
so easy and there Is so great quantity
of it stacked up in our bank vaults, it
is impossible to have any crisis such as
marks the coming of a panic. Nor can
this capital remain long unemployed,
for its owners will wish to make it earn
a profit. What grips the country just
now is General Apathy who Is in full
command of sentiment. His worthy
lieutenant, Uncertainty" has made
corporations and merchants hold back
until the skies are less clouded.
Prosperity goes hand in hand with
the new wealth country produces
What Is our outlook in this connec-
ton? On Bounteous Mother Earth
and Nature we must largely depend
for our new wealth, and consequently
prosperity. She has not failed us thus
far this year. Crop reports are of the
most brilliant character. We have hao
plenty of moisture all over the country
and we need now only apprehenG
drought or such destruction as car
arise from the attacks of insect life
Where there has been plenty of moist
ure such dangers are minimized. AL
ready we know that we shall probably
have the largest winter wheat harvest
we have ever raised. This crop re-
duced to a cash basis, means a rich
store of available capital this summer
and Fall with which to do business.
After all the ominous rumors afloai
about the condition of the Rock
Island, the report of Expert McKenna

Washington, May 13.-Charles S

Interstate Commerce Commission In
it's inquiry into the New Haven's af-

MOUNT HOLLY CLAY
WORKS SHUT DOWN
Disagreement Between Owners Of
Towns Two Industries Causes
Suspension of Business
Special TO The Tslrgrdth

Carlisle, Pa, May 13.-As the result
OF orders issued by S. NJ. Kitzmiller,
OF Shippensburg, who recently pur-
chased the property of the Mount
Holly Paper Company at Mount Holly
Springs, consisting of two paper mills,
the land on which ,Hilly Park is situ-
ated. and several hundred acres of
woodland. the Cumberland Clay
Works, the only industry of any i'm
portance at present operating in the
town was closed to-day. Forty men
are out of work and business in the
town is at practical standstill.
The closing of the plant of the Clay
Company which mines a superior
quality of white clay used in the MAX
ing OF tiles and bricks, came as the
result of disagreement between Mr..
kitzmiller and w. S. Russell of the
Cumberland works. There is a spur
track on the Gettysburg and Harris
burg Railroad which runs from Holly
through the gap to the property of the
clay company. At one point it crosses
a spur of land belonging formerly to
the Mt. Holly Paper Company, now
the property of Mr.. Kitzmiller. 1t is
claimed by Mr.. Russell that he has
ordered the railroad to send no more
cars to the clay banks and that he in
tends to tear up the track
The reason given is that the water
from the banks, carrying with IT
some white clay, is draining into the
pleasure dam at Holly Park. This Mr..
Russell claims was due some months
ago to the froSts and was later
remedied. On Friday there was a
Icloudburst in that section and a small
dam used to hold water for milling
purposes was torn away. The banks
are accordingly draining into Holly
lake. 1t is claimed, however, that
kltzmiller did not give an opportunity
to repair the dam before issuing his
order.
The company has been using the
track In question for about five years
and pays a small sum annual as
ground rent. This. it is claimed, was
paid until May and a check has been
dispatched for the next three months.
The haul to Mount Holly which is
about two miles is claimed by Mr..
Russell to be almost impossible and the
plant has accordingly suspended op-
era tions. About forty men, all of them
residents of Holly and doing business
in that town are without any source
of income
Since the property OF the Mount
Holly Paper Company was purchased
by the Shippensburg man there has
been considerable trouble between him
and the residents. Some months ago
the proposition was made that if the
property be eXonerated from taxes the
paper mill would be reopened. The
property is assessed at about 100000
and if taxes were taken off would
raise the tax on the other property
several mills The borough council
refused, claiming that 1t was not Just
to the citizens of the town and further
more that they were not able to grant
the exoneration. The mills were not
opened and In consequence there is lit
tie work In the town.

Passing Impressions Of Finance
BY H. L. Bennett

/, ill-founded. The road will not need
more than $33,000.00O in the next
thre years. This is not $65,0OO,OOO,
so first reported. But the bad reports
succeeded in their purpose in enabling
some people to pick up Rock Island
to see nice profit as a result of their
better prior knowledge of the actual
condition of the property.
Investigators for the government are
getting closer and closer to the root of
the actual financial operations which
We're responsible for the New Haven's s
high financing. 1t was disclosed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that a comparatively unknown Connec-
ticut coal dealer dealt in millions of
the roads securities, and he, too, found
1t advantageous to burn all books re-
lating to his transa ctions. This wan
ton destruction of the records of such
| important transactions is damning evil
dence that there are some things
which must have been concealed,
which big men on the inside wanted to
hide. 1t was also shown that the New
Haven under Mellen spent in one year
over $3.50, 600 on advertising to mould
public opinion, whereas the New York
Central spent but $4,000 for advertis-
J Ing and the Pennsylvania but $1,000
I But all this money was wasted, and for
the good 1T accomplished might as well
have been thrown into the sea, for New
Haven stock kept going down and
down, simply because the public could
detect the DEVILS horns behind all this
publicity
Municipal bonds continue In good
demand. The large Baltimore issue
was subscribed twice over. The gen.
eral market shifted back and forth

be said it was over-strong, nor was II
inherently weak. Standard Oil shares
were weak on account of the continued
reduction in prices of oils. Such pub
lie utilities as reported earnings dur
ing the week made a good showing
though the increases were slightly less
than the average they heretofore have
| reported. The steel and copper trade
are in state of lethargy.
