ness was that much larger. With
prices OF many commodities rising
steadily, and In some cases swiftly
more money Ia naturally required TO
pay for the same qualities, while the
great activity In the stock markets
has been an important factor in swell
ing the exshanges The record,
however, is noteworthy even after
allowing for the element Of specula-
| ton and of prices, and clearly reflects
| the magnitude of commercial and in
dustrial transactions throughout the
principal cities report heavier pay
ments than In the preceding month
and only in the Western section was
the increase over last year less than
80 per cent.
With the country generally pros
porous, fewer reverses in business
are to be expected, though the in
crease in new enterprises obviously
enchances the possibilities of finan-
cial embarrassment The nine month
failure statistics show reductions Of
about % per cent. In number and
fully 80 per cent In amount from the
high mortality of 1915, while the Sep
TENDER insolvencies were less numer-
GUS than in any month in three
years and the liabilities were the
smallest since August, 1911 Every
section discloses some numerical de-
crease for the nine months, the i'm
provement being marked in most in
stances, and trading lines make rela-
lively the best exhibit as is natural,
because this classification showed
the greatest expansion in 1915. The
betterment in the failure record Is nds
confined to strictly commercial occu-
pations, there being fewer suspem-
sions of banks and other fiduciary
concerns than at any time since
1907.
1t was foregone conclusion that
pig iron output would rise again as
soon as working conditions improved,
and the daily average last month
was 1864 tons, or 1899 tons more
than in August, though the aggregate
production was slightly smaller. For
the moment, at least pig iron occu-
pies the position of prominence in
the basic industry by reason of con-
tinued heavy buying and further ad-
yances in prices, The export de-
mand is a feature of the current
movement, one southern producer
alone selling nearly 100000 tons to
foreigners, but domestic consumers,
some of whom held off in the hope
that quotations would go lower, are
now actively in the market. Dur
ing the past fortnight Bessemer and
basic iron have risen $1,25 toni
and several other grades have gone
higher this week, while finished steel
still tends upward, with steel bars at
Pittsburg costing practically twice as
much as a year ago. Yet, as high
as prices are, the top does not seem
to have been reached, and buyers
are eager to get materials and pro-
ducts at figures they would not con
slider short time ago.

the organization of the new Citizens
National Bank and becoming its Vice
President he still retained his hold
ings in the cider bank and his inter
est in its welfare and success never
slackened. This feeling On his part IS
only indicative Of the good feeling
and constant cooperation always eX-

two National banks, both OF which
are members Of the new Federal Re

vision and examination OF the same

Sherry, the President OF the Citizens
National Bank, has also long held,
and still holds stock in the Old Ma
tional Bank, and the cashier Of the
Citizens National Bank and the Pres

deskmates and school fellows in the
old grammar school days. Such con
ditions naturally lead 10 agreeable
working conditions between the two
National Banks. The market value
of the stock 70 be sold tomorrow is
in excess of 100000. and the share
will likely be well scattered. as they
will be offered in small lots as may
be desired by prospective bidders.

THE BROTHERHOODS
MAKE A STATEMENT
In Which They Insist Railroads
Statement Is Erroneous.

Cleveland. O.. March 31.-it has
been repeatedly affirmed by railway
officials that. ii the demand by the
Transportation Rrotherhoods for an
elgh hour day was granted Il would
cost the roads 100000 100000 annu
ally The four employees organizations
involved have challenged this state
ment. but the officials have never
yet presented any detailed figures to
prove how they arrive at that exact
sum. They simply make 1t ono Hun
dred million and let 1t 60 at that.
An evidence of the fact that rail
way officials know It would not mean
any considerable increase of wages
to the men, the Missouri, Kansas ~

addressed to its Trainmen. Engine
men. Yardmen and Holsters, signed
