wAGGING TONGUES KILLED HER
Chicago Woman Drinks Poison After
''Friendly'' Hints of GOssips.

Chicago, June 13.-"Your husband
was seen cut with another woman last
Tuesday"
DO you know that your husband
has another girl almost every day."
Mrs Brown told me that Mrs.
Black told her that a friend of hers
saw your husband drinking in a cafe
with a pretty blonde. OF course, she
was a friend of yours, wasn't she ?"
Mrs Sadie w. Purvier heard such
things as these from gossiping neigh
bors almost every day of her life.
Some woman was constantly dropping
in on her in her apartment with a
friendly hint that cut like knife.
The stories broke her heart. Each
succeeding day her unhappiness and
misery became more poignant and at
last she decided she couldn't stand
the torture any longer. Today she
ended her life with poison.

that Frederick G. Harding, for several
years sub-agent Of the New York once.
has been appointed agent to succeed John
Cone. who retlres from active service on
June 80 after thirty years OF continuous
service with the Anglo-South American
Bank and under whose direction the New
York branch has grown in size and
strength until to-day II IL one Of the
most important foreign exchange and
discount banks in the United States.
Mr.. Harding is of the younger gener-
pert in export banking matters, For the
greater part of his twenty years service
with the Anglo-South American Bank he
has been actively engaged in developing
the business and facilities OF the institu-
ton in foreign countries. He spent more
than seven years in South America In
the interests of the bank and as re-
suit is In intimate and personal ac-
duaintance with all matters pertaining
to trade with the southern continent.
Significant, too, OF Mr. Hardings ap-
pointment Of New York agent is the an
nouncement made by the bank that 1t has
affiliated itself with four of the largest
financial institutions in Great Britain In
the organization Of the British Overseas
Bank, which has recently been incor-
porated in England by the Anglo-South
American Bank, Limited; Glynn, Mills,

Company Of Belfast, the Union Bank OF
Scotland and William Deacon's Bank
which will be increased as the necessi'
ties of the future demand. The object
of the organisation OF the new bank Is
to enhance the facilities of the stock
holding banks for branches In foreign
countries, where they are not directly

BANK OPENS HERE
Three Institutions Form an
Alliance.

Ono Of the newest developments In
the international financial and trade sit
uation has been the formation in this
city of the French-American Banking
Corporation. which opens for business
tomorrow at 81 william street. The
organization OF the new pank is the out
come of an alliance between the National
Bank of Commerce In New York. the
First National Bank Of Boston and the
Compton National d'Escompte of Paris
for the purpose of fostering and develop
ing better and closer business relations
between the United States and France.
The French-American Banking Cor
poration Is unique In that II signalizes
the drawing together Of European and
American financial interests for mutual
benefit and business understanding. Hall
of the capital stock is held in France
by the Compton National d'Escompte
and the other half held equally by the
two American banks. 1t is Incorporated
under the laws OF New York State and
has a capital and surplus of $4,000, 600.
The purpose of the organization is TO
provide for American merchants and
manufacturers fullest facilities for an
international banking service in France.
and to engage in a general foreign
banking business. The French stock
holdmg pank Is one Oh the largest ana
most powerful banks In that country
ard has moro than 200 branches in the
most Important Industrial ana CONNER
cIal centres OF the republic. BY this
arrangement American business men OBJ
tain the benefit OF the experience and
connections of the native French bank
ers that could be given in no other way.

GROCERIES GLUT
MEXICAN MARKET
Automobile Business, How
ever, Is Good, With Chance
of Further Development.

According TO vIce-Consul Charles II.
Cunningham, Mexico city, there are
manv who think Mexico is overstocked
at present in certain lines OF commodi-
ties, The period succeeding the war saw
n great many new ventures into the Inn
porting business, attracted by the large
and quick profits which existed Tor
time This is particularly true OF gro
ceries. There is much competition In
this trade and importers in many cases
are selling at a loss. Goods such as
canned salmon and condensed milk are
being retailed here to-day by some deal
ers at less than the wholesale price. IN
some cases the dealer losing the money
originally advanced, and never taking
the goods: in other cases the mer-
chandise ordered has been taken over
by banks and creditors and consequently
sold for what It could bring. This sort
Of competition has temporarily disrupted
the grocery trade in Mexico city.
The automobile business in Mexico
since the first of the year has been ex-
ceedingly good. although during the
la st three or four weeks there have bean
fewer sales, except In the case Of low
priced cars
There has been considerable activity
the last five months in the sale OF the
more expensive cars, accompanying the
scrapping or selling of a large number
of second hand cars used during the
period when new cars could not be OBJ
tanned. A large number of sales have
been made directly from the United
States. Indeed there are many cars
used at present in Mexico city which
have no representatives actively at work
in the republic
In order to extend their sales and to
properly serve those who have already
purchased cars, 1t would perhaps be ad-
visable for American manufactures to
establish branches in Mexico. At pres
ent sales are made by agencies, and
complaints are frequently made by buy
ers that all interest on the part OF the
seller is lost in the car Immediately after
the contamination OF the sale. Doubt
less there are other conditions involved
in the question Of the establishment OF
branches. but from the point of view
Of satisfactory service to patrons the
inauguration OF this policy would be a
vast Improvement. 1t is understood that
the establishment OF branches is being
contemplated by various American car
manufacturers
