For more than two weeks trading has
been at the rate Of more than u million
shares a day. In spite OF this activity
the greatest since l906-loais OF as
ISOLATED ba nks OF New York have ir-
creased only 100000 900. Tit average
moun Of loans on tho books OF the
Clearing House members in the week
ended September 9 was less than S3.301.-
600. 600. OF about 1890. 900 more than
the actual total at the end OF that week.
Last saturday morning the total wac
only $3,315,6IS.0 900. The significance of
these figures Is that most OF the men
who have been buying stocks have not
been operating on shoestrings. They
have been able and willing to pay for
what they bought. and brokers instead
OF increasing their loans have been re-
ducing them.
At the same tim deposits have been
growing. The actual amount OF net
deposits reported by the associated banks
on September . was s3,t04.7.3.00o. Last
saturday net deposits aggregated s3..
i62.134.0o0. During tho same period
aggregate reserve has increased s5i..
$4,000. and the excess reserve has
Jumped from $50. sol .o7o &c s~i1+.l3i.lfo
Tho ratio Of excess reserve to reserve
requirements has been advanced from,
~. per cent. to col per cent. The gain
, IN the ratio during the last week was
1 10 per cent.
There has been an actual decrease IN
Tho loans Of non-memb~r banks and
trust companies In tho last two weeks
tho total on September . being reported
as s7?5.6S?. e0os n on September 81 a,
37?1.S99.5oo.
Tho gain IN aggregate reserve hs,
been duo largely to gold imports. Thi.
cold has been slow In finding It's ws,
into bank vaults. In the week ended
September IL the associated banks
gained s~?.77s,ooo ~ gold. Last week
they gained s~la.sSa.ooo. or a total for th'
two weeks Of s:e.6i7.ooo.
Unless the bankers abandon their con
sentative policies-and this Is not eN
pected-ths position OF tho New forl
| banks should continue IN Improve -

And there is plSr,y OF basis Tor bulliei

Wild Speculation.

More fuel has been added TO the flames
that are keeping tho speculative pot
boiling. On Saturday the placing Of tho
largest copper order on record was an.

ment was made public.
Trading on hat day ended with a
flourish. and In spite Of Tho fact that
some Of the advances were rapid, I'M
biased observers predicted that prices
to-day would movo upward.
For ten days or two weeks vigorous
efforts were made 20 force a substantial
reaction. Tremendous amounts OF stock
wero thrown onto the market. Many
hullish operators closed out their lines,
because they believed a reaction was
overdue. and bears operated aggrcssively
Prices did decline "a little. and on
Wednesday predictions werc freely made
that n violent break would be necessary
before the bull swing could continue
Subsequent events proved that the tech.

ALMOST DEAD FROM
GASOLINE FUMES
WEST LIBERTY MEN LAY UNCON.
SCiOUS IN SNOW WATT
ING FOR HELP.

West Liberty, Jan. 9.-Unconscious
from the gasoline fumes they had in
hailed while repairing an automobile.
John H. Trey. local silo manufacturer,
and Charles Waite, automobile repair
man, lay unconscious in the snow un-
til assistance and physician reached
them. A younger brother of Trey ran
to a night restaurant, several blocks
away, and after incoherently telling
his story, also collapsed, but soon re-
gained consciousness.
Trey was the first to feel the effects
and made an attempt to get out of the
inner room of his factory where he
and his brother and Waite were at
work on the stored machine. Waite,
who never has fully recovered from
the effects of an automobile accident
few years ago, contrived to drag
Trey out of the building and there they
both fell helpless in the snow.
The older Trey recovered, but start
ed for home, ignorant that Waite had
lain beside him. \ Waite was carried to
the nearby municipal power plant
where he was revived Though both
remain in serious condition, it is be-
lieved they will recover promptly.
