Loan Policies Tightened.
The condition Of suspended anima-
ton is afflicting the banks. now loath
to make commercial loans. 1t is doubt
full If the cooperation offered them
by Chairman Jesse H. Jones Of the
r. F.. C. will have much effect on
their present policy Of denying the
small business man a fairly long-term
accommodation.
Experience with bank examiners in
the past five years has made them re-
belliols. fact that Mr.. Jones recog-
nizes when he says that bank exam
liners need not, and should not. criti-
cize or call special attention" to good
industrial loans.
So far. however, bank examiners
have been a law unto themselves.
Through ignorance and arrogance
they have built up a fear complex
among bank officers that will not soon
be dispelled.
The effect of the business slump on
dividend policies was apparent this
week in a larger number of reduced
or passed payments. Nearly all were
from the industrial group. Figures
compiled for the month Of February
showed decline Of IS per cent, COM
pared with the corresponding period
in 1887, but they were 10 per cent
greater than in January.
Disparity in Income Seen.
There is still wide disparity be-
tween the losses in wages and salaries
and the shrinkage in dividend and
interest income. It has been found
by recent studies that, where there
has been much industrial unemploy-
ment, local stores have suffered Sc
verely, while in communities where
a salaried and supplementary income
class resides the purchasing power
has held up, but luxury buying has
greatly diminished.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The wheat

to improved crop conditions in the
Southwestern belt came to a halt to-
day.
Buying credited to export and mill
ing interests and scattered short COW

not be maintained in the face of lag

Some early buying was believed to
be based on indications OF revived
export and miller interest in wheat
as a result of the recent price break
Only moderate trade was reported,
however. It was understood some flour
had been worked for export out Of

IMPORTANT ROLE
OF ACACIA SHOWN
Insurance Company Plays
Increasing Part in D. c.
Economic Life.

President William Montgomery of
the Acacia Mutual Life Insurance Co.
made public some most interesting
statistics yesterday showing the i'm
portant role the company is playing
in the economic life of the Capital.
The company now employs approxi-
mately $50 persons in the District of
Columbia, Mr.. Montgomery said. Dur
ing 1887 Acacia expended about ST.
100000 here. OF this total more than
S953,000 was paid in salaries to en-
ployes of the home Office and the
District of Columbia agency.
For equipment, power. light, tele-
phone, telegraph and other services
Acacia expended in Washington ap-
proximately $l77,000, which sum in.
cludes $72,70O for printing and sta
tionery. Acacia has 60 branches in
as many cities throughout the coun-
try and disbursing activities of the
home Office here have become Of con-
stantly greater Importance.
during 1887 Acacla's total deposits
in Washington banks amounted to
well over $l8,000,0O0. and the COM
pany carried an average balance in
local banks of approximately ST.
100000, Mr.. Montgomery said.
Payments made to the District of
Columbia government on account of
license fees and real estate taxes dur
ing 1897 totaled nearly $66,000. In
this same period Acacia paid to policy
holders and beneficiaries residing here
sums in excess Of $220.000.
The company is stimulating interest
in Washington as tourist mecca
through the Acacia Club, membership
in which is open to all policyholders.
Through this club wide variety of
information is dispensed and many
useful services are performed for visi-
tors and prospective visitors,

Of the unemployed Wall Street feels
the public's indifference in daily trans

and finds it necessary to contract it's
expenditures so that today there are

than year ago.
Supplies Diminished.
From a technical standpoint, the
cutting down OF production and the
inevitable reduction OF merchandise
supplies strengthens one phase Of the
business situation. Eventually these
will bring about a quick recovery and
more feverish buying. In the iron
and steel trade there were such symp-
toms this week when q fair miscel-
laneous demand for steel products
was reported.
In most other directions, however.
conditions were stagnant. The con-
struction industry is slow to reflect
the generous terms offered home build
ers, as there has yet been too little
change in the scale Of material prices
and in wages to attract the public.

Monday in distress and reported
being in collision Sunday afternoon
during a fog, with the steamer Eu-
reka, from New York to New Or

when the fog ligted, the Eureka

thought she sank. The Eureka
was a freight boat and carried no

thirty-eight persons. The Benson
would have sunk but for her water
tight compartments. The crew of
the Eureka has since arrived IN
Philadelphia, escaping in boats.
