mented and renovated
In an effort to prevent this city front
losing its notable position in the medical
world members or the Philadelphia Cen
eral Hospital staff have renewed their
efforts TO have the municipal authorities
do something for the general improves
ment Of the institution.
Tho Institution at present is antiquated
although maintained under the very best
auspices possible, and falls far short in
every requirement Of q modern hospital

with anything less than that stipulated
sum nothing more than the deplorable
system OF making small, Inadequate ad-

penditures along those lines have been
made, the institution would still remain
an old and imperfect ono without a sim
gle modern unit.

on the grounds that lawyers. litigants or
witnesses are in Europe and have not

Union Pacific was one of the In
fsuential features on the constructive
side. The Rock Island shares were
conspicuous for their exceptional
weakness.
Rig Loans Increases.
The bank statement was not such
m abnormal showing al had been
made lately. Loans increased s23.-
eoo, 900. and there was cash gain OF
about $s,50o.o0 which was fairly
close to preliminary estimates.
An expansion Of $31.090.00o in de-
positS raised reserve requirements
suficientiy to keep the gain In surplus
reserves down to less than $i.S00,00o.
The weeks stock market and the
broadening activity of dealers In in
vestment securities furnished a SUI
ficient explanation for the loan expan-
sion. but the loan account failed to
show any Of the results predicted a
week ago following the distribution
OF the new State bonds and the pay
ment therefor.
European buying OF stocks here to-
getfaer with the further fall OF Euro
pean discount rates were about the
most striking financial features OF the
last few days.
