II YOU have the habit of buying
sugar cured bacon as most of us
do, remember that sugar burns rea-
Oily and that is why one should al
ways place the slices in a cold
skillet over low heat, turning the
bacon frequently to permit even
cooking, and pouring off the drip
pings that you may use them for
seasoning and enriching vegetables

CT transparent, remove it to a hot
platter. 1t will turn a beautiful

the skillet and will be crisp but not

tions which Is expected to be made as
of September 80, will find a majority
Of these filing reports in a much
stronger position than on June 30.

in numerous cases, an intimate reading
Of their reports would have shown
that the amount Of depreciation in
their portfolios had exhausted their
undivided profits and surplus and was
encroaching heavily on their capital.
Profit Items Eliminated.
To repair this situation in some
measure many moderate-sized banks
eliminated the item of undivided
profits, or set up special reserves and,
in addition. either reduced dividends
or passed them entirely. The period
was one Of considerable grief for hold
ers Of bank stocks. as it had been for
bank depositors early in the year.
The situation today, however, is quite
different from that of three months
ago. In the interim there has oc-
CURED one Of the broadest and most
abrupt advances in bonds in years
1t has not been uncommon to find
banks favored by an appreciation in
their securities which erased from IS
to 40 per cent OF the depreciation that
had been shown on June 80. This has
removed the threat to their capital
and has been responsible for a consid-
cradle amount of the better feeling
existing in banking circles throughout
the country
Another fortunate development since
the end Of June has been the increase
in bank deposits. This represents not
only return of money that had been
boarded. but latterly has been influ-
enced by a slightly higher level of pay
rolls. From the middle of July to

EXTENT OF RECOVERY

Curve of Business Has Been Rising
Slowly During the Past
Ten Weeks.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatch to Ihe star.
NEW YORK, October lit is pleas
ant to speculate on the possibilities o.
recovery in business and in the produc
ton OF income on investments. based
on experience following other depres-
Sions. 1t may not. however, be very
profitable, fer no two panic periods are
alike. Deductiors drawn from one may
be inaccurate as applied to another.
Assuming FOR arguments sake. that
comparison between what happened
after 1921 would apply with some exact
and thereafter. certain conclusions
might be reached. These were en-
bodied in a survey recently made by a
New York Stock Exchange house and
they are worth considering. Dealing
first with the rapid growth in net
profits, following the low ebb of the
industrial TIDE in 1921. it was found
that by 1922 such profits produced by
100 industrial companies had increased
nearly S380.00000, or several hundred
per cent. In 1923 they were about 81
per cent more than in 1922 and over
500 per cent greater than in 1921.
In the same period there was rapid
elimination of companies operating at
a deficit Those in 1921 that failed
to show profit were roughly one-third
of all the companies considered. In
1922 the concerns still in the red were
only per cent of all. and in 1923. the
entire group was creating income much
in excess of working expenses. The
curve of business has been slowly rising
for the past 10 weeks after having
touched the low point in July. which
was so per cent under normal in the
Spring of 1880. This should have some
effect on the showing Of all earnings
when they are compiled for the Sep
tember quarter and perhaps make a
slight impression on the extremely un-
favorable comparisons of the first half
of this year with the same six months
in 1881.

rather than to expand. The unfavor-
able feature of the deposit situation is
that the gains have been heavy with
the New York member banks, amount
ing to 81 .257, ,000, 900 for the two-month
period While those Of banks outside OF
New York have suffered a decrease of
$947 10000 This is in part the re-
suit of heavy transfers of deposits from
interior points, where there were weak
bank situations last Spring, to New
York. The counter current has not yet
set in toward the interior. Altogether,
however, the deposit trend is signifi-
cant one and sharply contrasts with the
experience during the Summer months
of 1880 and 1881. At the same time
the ratio of deposits to bank loans and
bank investments has been mere salts

No announcements have yet been
made by either National or State bank
ing authorities as to their attitude to-

banks and trust companies on various
occasions since. This, in general, per-
mits financial institutions to carry
bonds in the higher ratings. at cost or

category might have been purchased at

Effect of Bond Gains.
Bonds outside of these preferred rat
ings are required to be entered less
20 to 25 per cent of the market depre-
citation in them. while bonds in default
are compelled to be carried at current
quotations. Banks frequently nave had
the pleasant experience in the last three
months of seeing bonds in default, and
charged down to the market in June
subsequently advancing several hundred
per cent. A conspicuous example, which
has benefited many banks, is that of the
