BY HOMELOAN BANK
Winston.Salem Institution's
Resources at $1S,017,46S.
Has 420 Members.

The Federal Home Loan Bank Of
Winston salem will enter its seventh
year Monday with resources and pos
sibilities for service greater than any
time in its history, according to a re-
port from its president, o. X. La
Rogue. The Winston Salem bank,

lima and Virginia. is one Of the IL

BaItz Views Evidence OF
Increased Confidence
in Future.

Savings, building and loan associa-
lions disbursed more money to home
owners in August than during any
month this year and a larger per-
centage of it went into building new
homes than in any Of the preceding
months These data are judged by
E. c. Baltz, Washington. president OF
the United States Building and Loan
League, to be evidence that confidence
has improved not only in the future OF
real estate. but also in that Of Jobs
and security.
Every month since April the asso-
Citations have been increasing the pro-
portion of their loan disbursements
going directly for construction, and in
August they put 81 out Of every $3.50
loaned into new building. Construc-
ton loans that month totaled $22,-
$4,000, it is estimated from reports
filed with the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, and this sum represented
an increase of 1872 per cent over July
construction loans and of per cent
over August of last year. This Is the
first month of 1898 in which con-
struction loans have surpassed in vol
ume those for the like month of 1887,
Mr.. Baltz points out
Dollar Volume Gains.
Dollar volume of loans for all pur-
poses achieved a gain of 104 per cent
over July, mounting to 74,709000 In
a seasonally adjusted index, prepared
by the leagues research department,
the August performance shows up
about 9 per cent better than the aver
age for the rest of the year. In the
preceding two years there was a de-
cline in loan volume of associations
from July to August leading the league
president to the conclusion that this
years development is directly related
to improvement in business sentiment
dating from late summer
Since 62.1 per cent of the loan VOL
ume in August went directly for the
acquisition of homes, either through
building or purchase. confidence must
have improved from its recession levels,
because faith in the permanence of
Jobs and security is essential to any
sustained activity in home building
or buying.
When industrial production fell
precipitantly last August. downward
trend in both home building and home
buying loans by savings and loan asso-
Citations was apparent within three or
four weeks and, except for a few sea-
sonal pickups this past spring. activity
In these lines continued to reflect the
adverse trend of general business. With
savings, building and loan associations
so we'll able to take care Of a demand
for two or three times the present loan
volume, there has been no deterrent

Whitney Firm Fails;
His Trial IS Ordered
Former President Of
Exchange Faces
Charges
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, March 8 Q.N.S0.
His firm suspended for insolvency,
Richard Whitney, former presi-
dent of the New York Stock Ex-
change and one of the most
prominent personalities in Wall
Street, today was ordered to stand
trial, on charges of violating the
exchanges code Of business
conduct.
Upwards Of a million dollars
may be involved in the failure
of Richard Whitney & Company,
which was one of the leading
houses in the financial district
and was regarded for years as
j. P. Morgan & Company brokers.
Wall Street was stunned by the
news of the failure and the gravity
of the charges filed against
Whitney. 1t was the most Sensa.
tional failure since that of Jay
Cooke after the civil war.
The State attorney generals Of
flee Immediately began investigat-
ing the failure. 1t was also un-
derstood that the staff of District
Attorney Thomas E. Dewey was
looking into any possible viola
tions of the criminal code.
Whitney's failure was read from
the rostrum of the stock exchange
by President Charles Gay. who
succeeded Whitney in that office.
The exchanges announcement of
the suspension stated:
I'm the course of an examina-
tion of the affairs of Richard
Whitney & Co., the committee
on business conduct discovered
on March /, 1888, evidence Of
conduct apparently contrary to
just and equitable principles Of
trade, and on March 7 at 1870
p. m. presented to a special
meeting of the governing COM
mittee charges and specifica.
tions. Hearings on charges was
set for March IT,"
The firm advised the exchange
this morning it was unable to
meet it's obligations.
