STOCKS ARE APPRAISED
CLOSELY BY INVESTORS

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 27.-The query
IN the minds of many investors is
whether prices Of stocks have made suf-
flcient adjustment to the change in the
dividend status of these stocks. The
answer depends good deal on whether
the indications point to an upturn In
business which viii permit the companies
that have reduced their dividends TO
make a larger return TO their share
holders at some time within the next
year. II such evidence is not forth
coming. it is illogical to believe that
stocks whose rates have been cut from
81 to 50 a share should hold above the
prices at which they sold when they
were paying the higher dividends.
1t IS TO be borne in mind also that
dividend increases come slowly and
that once a rate has been lowered be-
cause of poor earnings 1t Is frequently
two TO three years before directors are
willing to re-establish their stocks on
the former dividend basis.

BANK DEPOSIT GAIN
TOTALS HUGE SUM
Washington Institutions Re-
veal Heavy Increases in
Last Few Months.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Substantial increases in bank deposits
in washington banks since December 81
are shown following the call issued to-
day by Controller John w. Pole asking
for the condition Of all local banks on
March rs, 1881.
The first call Of the present year re-
veals Unexpectedly large aggregate gains
among the local institutions during the
first quarter. It had been expected that
gains would be reported, but not In
such large amounts
Returns from rs local banks, all that
could be reached before press time,
showed that 81 of the rs had larger
deposits on March IS than on Decem-
Der 81, 1880. And the others reported
only moderate declines in deposits,
partly due to the withdrawal of some
special accounts for one reason or an
other.
Riggs National reported the largest
gain. On December 81 this bank re-
ported deposits of over $4,000, 900. On
March IS deposits had increased TO
more than $59.000,000, gain OF almost
IS 500 900.
Several others banks, in proportion
to their size, also reported gains of
similar Importance. The total for all
the banks in the city, which will soon
be available, will probably show the
largest total deposits on record.
Reasons for High Deposits.
One reason for the substantial gains
is that people are investing but compar-
atively little money right now, leaving
1t in the banks to be available when
desired This surplus has been piling
UP steadily since so many investors and
SPECTATORS got out of the stock market
after the last big break.
Large corporations are also leaving
their money in the banks instead OF
placing it on call in New York. The
call rate is now lower than the interest
they can get from the banks, hence
these funds are naturally left IN saw
ings departments.
washington bankers do not believe
that much srldier bonus money has
been withdraw, from the Government
and placed in he banks. They con-
slider the above reasons, added to the
greatly increased, interest in savings
bank thrift, as the main factors ac-
counting for the present high deposits
While the banks here are gratified TO
have so much money on deposit yet
they are faced with difficult problem
in letting it out to advantage under
present interest rates.
The following comparisons are made
between the calls of March Is and De-
cemiber 81:

BLACKWATER CHURCH

oldest in the country, having been
built in 1861 Evidently there were
one or two churches which were
built before the present one. Some
say that Presbyterianism was estab-
lished in this section as early as
1900. 1t is believed that the first
church was one of the log cabin
type; but whether it gave way to the
ravages of time or was torn down it
was not known. However, the pres
ent edifice was built somewhere be-
tween the years 1864 and 1867. The.
history of the church, however, re-
ally dates from the time of the con-
structiOn of the present edifice.
The Rev. Charles Tennent was the
first pastor of the church. He came
of the family of that name which is
celebrated in the annals of the ear
ly Presbyterians on this continent
His father was pastor and teacher
at the "Old Log College," which
since has become the reverend
Princeton. His brothers were among
the organizers of the church at New
Castle, Del, and of the Buckingham
Church, in Maryland.

axe was used to batter in the heads
of the four victims and was then
left on the porch. 1t had been ap-
parently wiped clean after it had
been used and left on the porch.
Though a big crowd has been
about the lookup since the negro
was arrested, and there has been
considerable talk of violence, no
move in that direction was made
Authorities say they expect no eff
fort to take the prisoner from them
for the reason that town police had
been reinforced by the sheriff and
county officers and five or more
State highway policemen before the
negro was brought back and that
this number of officers was sufficient
to check any outbreak They admit,
however that feeling is running
high and that it will not do to take
any chances. For this reason the ne
gro was taken to Snow Hill.
The Davis family was well known
in the vicinity of Berlin and had
lived on the farm where the muir
ders were committed for about five
years. Friends declare they had no
enemies unless the negro who is un-
der arrest was angry because he had
been discharged.
