STATE BANKERS TO DISCUSS FINANCES
 AT JUNE MEETING
Bridgeport Will Send Big Dele gation to Important An
 nuaI Conference.

When the fifteenth annual convention of the Connecticut Bankers Associa- tions convenes at the Griswold, East ern Point, New London, June g and no, many of the most prominent fnan- ciers in the country are expected to be present. The convention is being viewed in all sections of the New Eng land states with unusual interest by those in financial circles owing to the depressed condition of the money mar ket, as it is expected that matters perS taining to the present situation will be taken up.
 Shortly after the adjournment Of the Connecticut convention the New York Bankers Association will convene and, at this convention. a number of locaE bankers will attend. F'inanciers from all sections of the country will be present, and 1t is expected that they will arrive early in the week in order to be present at Connecticut Bankers association.
 The Bridgeport delegation will be composed of some of the best known of the local bankers, who will be se- lected to attend, and the number has not as yet been decided. O. H. Broth well of the First Bridgeport National bank, and president of the association.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-06-03

will head the local delegation. Over 200 delegates are expected from all sections of Connecticut while a nun Der of prominent hnanciers from New York, PhiIadeIpdhia and other large cities will be present to address the convention.
 At the banquet to be held Tuesday evening in the dining room of the GriswoId, 0. H. BrothweII, president Of the association, will give the ad- dress of welcome He will be follow ed by William E. Knox, controller of the Bowery Savings Bank, New York, and T. A. Day on .eThe Poetry of Busi- ness and Vice Versa. Besides these speakers it is expected that others prominent in banking circles will give an address.
 It is expected that the next annual convention of the association will be held in Bridgeport. The present con- vention was to have been held in this city, but as the New York Bankers, Association is to be in New London the same week as the Connecticut con- vention it was decided that larger attendanee could be secured by chang ing. it to New London.
 The program is as follows:
 Tuesday evening, May g, a banquet will be served to the delegates and their guests in the dining room of the Griswold.
 Monday. May 10. address of presi- dent, report of secretary, report of treasurer new business; election of of hcers and members of executive com mittee.

down-hill tumble; foreign trade is heavy and bank clearings are normal.
 Great activity is not to be expected in all lines but the trend is toward better conditions and the aptimists are on the increase. It is not likely that business totals for 1914 will equal those of 1918 nor was this to be expected. but there are many i'm dications of an early fall improve ment which will extend to nearly all lines. From now until the first of September, business will probably move along slowly, but rather more steadily than it has in the recent past.

CONN. co. MAY RUN CLOSED CARS DURING
 COMING SUMMER

will the Connecticut Company. in it's policy of retrenchment fail to give Bridgeport full service with open cars this summer? That is a. question which is today mooted differently in trolley car circles.
 A rapidly growing rumor. that, ow- ing to the shortage of open cars in this section, closed oars will be continued throu glout the summer on the North Brid geport, Barnup avenue, State street and South Park avenue routes was rampant today Trolley motor men and conductors were positive that no change would be made
 Manager Charles H. Chapman, while refusing to positively assert that all open cars will be run on these lines. said that the company expected to soon install more of them within the near future. Yesterday and today the closed type of car was still noticeable on all these divisions.
