New York Bank Stocks Up.
lRoston News Bureau ]

(BoSton News BureauD
 The improvement in many directions which New York banking conditions have shown has had it's logical reflection in brisk rally in New York bank shares From their low points of this year. these issues have advanced 20 per cent to 65 per cent.
 Within the past few weeks determined efforts to strengthen banking faundamentals have come to a head and already beneficial results are apparent Widespread fear has given way to moderate con- fidence This improved sentiment has resulted in advancing price for bonds and to some degree stocks with the result that bank investment portfolios have enhanced rather than steadily diminished in value. Hoarding and deposit deflation appear to have been arrested
 Perhaps of greatest significance the Glass-Stea- gall bill has set up machinery for more effective assistance to institutions temporarily weakened and bank failures have very sharply declined Reduction lin the New York bank rate from 3i2 per cent. to Is per cent was widely interpreted marking the end of the bank panic in this country. Improvement in the English situation has permitted strengthening | of the international money market
 As a result of beneficial legislation and improve msnt in sentiment banks will be able to function in more normal manner, particularly in meeting sound commercial demand as it arises. At the end of last year 16 leading New York banks held AT per cent or S3663, 100000 of their $7597 100000 deposits in the form of cash United States Government bonds This represented notably liquid condition in view of the troubled times but it meant that the banks were not operating on their most profitable basis.
 Even reductions in dividend rate by Chase Ma tional Bank and National City Bank, in both cases l from S4 to $3 annually, by Manhattan Co. from $4 to $2 and prospect of few other reductions, have been received with equanimity Some of the most pronounced advances from 1882 lows have been as follows: Brooklyn Trust 157 to 258, Chase Ma tional 26si 45 First National 1425 to 1930 Man haitian O. 27h to ST. and National City 36l2 to 5SA

Profitable Failures.

Worlds history is filled with profitable failures Inumerable instances recorded of individuals who achieved greatness only after intense efforts to accomplish something in another line have failed utterly and the person respectfully and unWilngly has turned to the work in which immortality was achieved Much the same is true of material fail ures We all know how blunder in the design Of a coin or a postage stamp often has resulted in the production of few of these errors that were to become collectors curios of great price We are leading up to mention of special instance of tri- lunphant failure in connection with the Lewis Car roll masterpiece The first edition of Alice in Wonderland" illustrated by Sir John Tenniel, was lso faulty in it's typography and reproductions that lit was condemned by both author and artist and was withheld from sale.

 Why, Gar, I'm going to love cookingl' Kitty protesed. Tudor Arms-she had to down a little dismay But not now would she cross Gar.
 He kissed her nose. Funny lit tie thing" he laughed. Have you any idea how funny you are?"
 But you love mel" she chal- lenged impudently.
 Gar had promised Marge to go with her to look at the achitect's sketches. The works got to be rushed on that barn, you see, Kit. Marges depending on me-
 But you'll see your father at four o'clock"
 Gar promised, easily Marge had made an appointment with Decker, the architect at two. He would be through in plenty of time.
 Gar, think I'll make your fa- ther very happy having you in with him. He looked that way pleased just thinking about it. You ought to be with him moro, Gar"
 Never have a chance, Kit. Hes always been too busy to bother with any of us. He's work, I'll tell you. Your dad doesn't know what work is, pottering around with his pickles and things. Ii mother isn't the sort she is, shed have set up a howl long ago"
 Kitty's arms frightened around Cars neck. You're always go- ing to have time to bother about me. Gar, I'll see to that She hid her tears in her eyes. Gar, I want you to be so splendid about everything want us to keep our married life it seemed you know, those first days
 He felt her trembling, Why, of course, sweet! You're not thinking for moment that we wont?s
 Oh, no, she wasn't thinking that, now. They kissed, a little solemnly. Then she sent him out to keep his appointment with Marge. She wasn't afraid of that girl, rather a little proud now that Marge so depended upon Cars support.

business or industry remotely connected
with handling and converting the prod
ucts Of agriculture. All are as fiat on
their backs as agriculture itself. But
they are keeping the machinery in mo-
ton and the farmers market open
when all the forces Of government are
striving vainly to take over the whole
system and put in its place something
which, 1t Is hoped without much real
confidence, will work better.
Speaking particularly Of wheat,
there Is today enough promise In the
situation to bring about material i'm
provement in prices except for the
threat Of new legislative experimental
ton. It Is conceivable this years wheat
production may be suf1ciently reduced
to account for all the surplus Of the
last four seasons.
There doubtless are ways Congress
can aid. 1t can use our credit balances
with other countries for trading pur-
poses in the interest Of wider markets.
It can help the farmer over the rough
road OF ofd-value mortgages on new
value land. It can relieve 1nordnate
taxation upon agriculture and upon
consumers of agriculture's products.
1.-The agricultural trades and con-
verters believe in these fundamentals:
Attempts to influence prices by sub
sides and stabilization schemes will
fail with greater ultimate disaster than
any transient benefit realized.
Consumption taxes will reduce de-
mand more than the value Of any bene-
fits from temporary subsidy.
Subsidies to the land will 30 un.
settle land values as to destroy the
last remaining vestige Of credit to
Owners of llnsubsidized acreage
Subsidies to production will result
In its further extension unless under
such restrictions and bureaucratic con-
troll as to be prohibitive in both cost
and organization, and repugnant to
every ideal of freedom Of the farmer.
The only safe road out for agricul-
ture Is such financial reconstruction as
can be supplied by Government agen-
cies, absolute non-interference with
normal price influences by political ex-
restoration of domestic consumption of
farm products and utmost concentra-
tion Of government upon the final solu.
tion-restoration of world trade for our
products.
