had spoken in behalf of the loan.
The program of the first days drive

The meeting at Liberty Hut was
the climax of busy and, Treasury

One hundred and twenty soldiers
from New Zealand. on their way
home, were on the platform, as were
about sixty railroad artillerymen from
Camp Eustis, Va, in command of Ma

Within a few minutes after the

Mr.. Poole announced that S. Kanr

 For many days it was steadily soar ing in price on account of no ship ments being received. The highest quotation was on October 29th
 when the price in Seattle went to 23% cents. No quotations were received after that until yesterday when the quotation was 3s cents
 The reason for the drop is given that big shipments from the larger boats which fish out in the open ocean arrived at both Seattle and Prince Rhpert within the past few days. Just what price will be quot ed to fishermen coming into port here in the next few days is not known

Merchants and that both permitted
their accounts to reach a very low
ebb at times.
Hamilton was virtually penniless
when Burr's bullet ended his career.
and his dealings with the bank
show that his savings never were
very great. Although brilliant
lawyer, his fees were always ex-
tremely moderate, as is shown bv
his deposits. His first was S25,
but he almost immediately made a
loan of $1,000, and at the time Of
his death and the departure of
Burr both accounts were slightly
overdrawn.

chants National Bank. also, is a
letter written by Hamilton which
throws an interesting sidelight on
his attitude on the establishment of

other banks, such as Burr contem-
plated and ultimately succeeded in
establishing. The letter was written
at Philadelphia on January 18, 1871,
and was addressed to William Seton,
the cashier Of the Bank Of New
York. 1t read:
my Dear Sir: have learned with
infinite pain the circumstances OF
new bank having been started in
your city. It's effects cannot but be
in every view pernicious. These ex-
travagant follies of speculation do
injury to the government and to the
whole system Of public credit by
disgusting all sober citizens and Civ
ing a wild air to everything. It is
impossible but that three great
banks in one city must raise such
mass of artificial credit as must en-
danger every one Of them and do
harm in every view.
~ sincerely hope that the Bank
OF New York will listen TO no coali-
ton with this newly engendered
monster. A better alliance. am
strongly persuaded, viii be brought
about for ii, and the joint force of
two solid institutions will, without
effort or violence. remove the ex-
crescence which has just appeared,
which I consider as a dangerous
tumor on your political and COM
mercial economy.

Gas as an illuminant did not come
into use until several years after,
not until 1925, in fact, when Samuel
Legget, the first president Of the
New York Gas Company, lighted his
house at Cherry Street in this
manner, thereby causing much as
constituent and considerable con-
sternation among his fellow resi-
dents, who thought it hazardous
experiment and likely to increase the
danger of fires.
William Jauncey had what was
looked upon as very imposing resi-
dence at Is Wall Street. and boosted

least at $4,000. William Seaman,
living at Sd Wall Street, valued his
John Outhout, at 13 Wall Street.
Edward Livingstone house, at Is
Wall Street, and William Bayard's
residence, adjoining it, were each
put down at $4,000, while that Of
the Constantine family, at 6 Wall
Street, was figured to be worth
$4,000 and that Of Francis B. Win
throp, in Broadway, near by, at
$4,000.
But the outstanding vision recalled
by the newspaper item was that in
which those two gladiators of Amer
ica's early history-Hamilton and
Burr-fought to finish their strug-
gle for the mastery Of New York
and, in way, Of the nation.
Who was it that said Wall
Street is not sentimental? A great
many years have passed since that
tragic episode on the Palisades
ended the contest, but numerous
souvenirs of the struggle survive
and are highly treasured in the
financial district.
Entering the building at 40 and ~
Wall Street, one of the first re-
minders Of that fatal contest to
greet the eye is the seal of that
company Of men who, under the
leadership of the astute Burr, made
the first successful invasion of the
field Of finance. dominated up to
that time by Hamilton and his fol-
lowers. The seal is that of Oceanus,
one Of the sea gods, sitting in
reclining posture on a rising bit of
ground, pouring water from an urn
which forms river terminating in
a lake.
Students Of New York's early
history will recall that it was through
the formation Of a corporation or
ganized ostensibly to provide the
city with water that Burr created
the Bank of the Manhattan Com
pany. A ''joker' in the charter,
permitting the company to employ
all surplus capital in the purchase
of public or other stock, or in any
other moneyed transactions or opera
tons not inconsistent with the Con-
stitution and laws Of New York or
of the United States was the wedge

CRATE fire burns cheerfully on every
cool day, recalling the system of
heating that was in use at the first.
Pictures of some Of the stalwarts
who sided with Hamilton hang from
the walls.
In making preparations for the
completion of the merger mentioned
in the newspaper, and which is the
final sequel to the Hamilton Burr
feud, ancient documents of great
value have been brought to light.
Great ledgers, dating back to 1908,
bound in massive leather and forti-
fed at the back by cords, were
brought out of the vaults, and two of
them show that Hamilton and Burr
both had accounts at one time in the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-21

What the sentimental little man
intended to say in his Sidewalk
reverie.' just before his vision Of
the duel, was this:

among all the institutions in the
world two such rivals as these
should haVe been brought togethero
