their ratio of reserves to a higher figure.

Cognizance of course should also be taken of the
fact that with the rise in the total of deposits the
amount of interest credited and paid each year is
growing larger. It is for this reason that we have incorporated in the table above the last column, which
shows the yearly credits in that way. By deducting
these credits from the total Increase we have a result
which shows the increase in excess of the additions on
account of interest, though it is only proper to say
that many depositors do not allow the interest to remain, but draw it out as fast as it Is credited.
Still, even
on that basis the diminution in increase is not exceptionally large.
One fact, however, such a computation serves clearly to establish, namely, that the tendency
in the more recent years has been distinctly towards lower figures.

characteristic could be expressed by the statement that
he was an illustrious example of the scholar in business, having shown that the scholar is not out of place

London, Saturday, August 1, 1908.
At the beginning of the week tbere was an extremely apprehensive feeling in the city. The continued fall in New
York and the failures upon the Stock Exchange there led to
the fear that failures might occur here. At the same time
the news from South Africa was considered unfavorable and
the opinion grew up that the solution of the labor difficulty
would be put off indefinitely and that, therefore, the full
working of the mines oould not be resumed for a long time.
On Wednesday a better feeling arose, chiefly because of the
brighter news from New York. Besides, a very large " bull "
account in consols was closed on Monday and Tuesday. The
closing of the account caused consols to fall heavily, and this
created much disappointment, but it eased people's minds,
and the conviction spread that we should soon see a very decided Improvement in the consols market. This new hope
was strengthened by the fact that there was buying of consols
upon a very considerable scale by small investors. Those
who are in the best position to judge state positively tnat the
big institutions which might be thought interested in supporting the market did not buy to any extent worth speaking
of; that the real buying was by the general public; and as
this seemed to indicate a revival of confidence on the part of
the general public, it created a far more cheerful feeling than
has prevailed for a long time.
Moreover, there was an improvement in Japanese bonds
likewise. This was taken to indicate that the strain between
Japan and Russia had eased, to some extent at all events, and
that those in a position to be well informed had come to the
conclusion that it was time to invest in .Tapanese bonds.
There were three failures upon the S-.ock Exchange, but
they were not very important. In one case the differences
which could not be met were considerable. The other two
institutions were small. The failures did not make any impression upon the Stock Exchange as the losses in no case
were serious.
Upon the Continent business is exceedingly slack. The recent Russian Railway loan has been a success, and since then
the leading operators in Paris are in a holiday mood; indeed
most of them are leaving for the seaside. French institutions
are still buying American railway promissory notes, but they
are doing very little else in this market. They are also ready
to take more sterling and American bills, but they are holding out for a high discount. Upon the whole there is very
W. Hoyt has been chosen Vice-President of the
Bank of Jacksonville, Fla., an institution little doing here. The Investment which was very marked
in British securities recently has stopped, for the time being
which but recently began business. As noted heretofore, at all events. There is exceedingly little buying from the

—Comptroller Ridgely after an investigation into all th®
circumstances attending the organization of the National
Bank of Commerce of Fort Worth, Texas, and the Cherokee
National Bank of Enid, Okla,, has directed the discontinuance of all further steps in their organization and ordered
the return to the subscribers of all money paid in on the
capital.
The institutions, it was claimed, were connested
with the Inter-State Trust Company of New Jersey, which
has been restrained from transacting business, and for which
a receiver is expected to be appointed on September 28.

been designated the National Bank of Commerce. The capital has not been definitely fixed but will bs either $250,000 or
$300,000. Approval from Washington was granted on the
4th inat. Mr. J. P, Barclay of 401 Augusta Street, San
Antonio, is one of those interested in the venture.

Fort Smith Trust Company, capital $100,000, has
been chartered to operate in Fort Smith, Ark. The officers
elected are Mr. O, E. Carnes, President; C. R. Green, Vice.
President; W. F. Blocker, Secretary, and J. K. Kimmons,
Treasurer.
—All details necessary to convert the State Bank of Little
Ro 3k, Ark., into the State National Bink of Little Ro^fe
have been complied with. Mr. Joseph E. England 8r. re.
mains as President and Mr. Robert S. Hamilton as Cashier.
Tne amount of capital at $103,000 also remains unchanged.
buying of American houses has eased off. Here in London,
on the other hand, there continues to be steady Investment in
American shares and American bonds.
The ordinary public,
as already said, believes that the worst is over in
York,
and as prices are now temptingly low, those who held aloof
so long are buying freely.
New
Abroad there is some uneasiness respecting the change of
Governments in Spain. Senor Villaverde is an exceedingly
able man, and be ia persona grata in Paris, but the way in
which he has been brought forward is disliked. It is thought
to be too evident an exercise of palace influence, and it is
feared that he will not be able to carry out the reforms
which he has so much at heart. It would be unfortunate if
he weie to break down, for he is not only an able man, bufc
he is in favor of the strictest economy and a reform of the
fiscal system in Spain, and he is entirely opposed to large expenditure upon the navy.
The rates of interest and discount are gradually rising.
This week the market had again to borrow from the Bank of
England, and it is evident that the supply of loanable capital
in the market is by no means as much as it seemed to be a
little while ago.
In Berlin money is also in good demand.
Indeed, it is alleged that the £100,000 in sovereigns withdrawn from the Bank of Eagland on Tuesday was for Berlin.
How the withdrawal could be profitably effected is not apparent, nor is it clear whether the money will be retained in
Germany or whether it will be forwarded to some other
country. In France money is superabundant, rates are low,
business is slack, and consequently, as already said, the
French banks are inclined to take more sterling bills. They
are holding out, however, for a discount of 3 par oent.
The general impression is that by and by gold will be
shipped from London to New York. In the first place,
American railroad companies have sold promissory notes
here to a considerable extent in the second place the buying
of American securities in this market has been on a large
scale during recent weeks and, in the third place, we are
now approaching thi3 export season, when it is reasonable to
anticipate a large increase in American bills here. Therefore it is thought prooable that gold will be shipped to New
York. If it is, rates will unquestionably rise, and the best
opinion in Paris is that should the disconat rate rise to 3 per
cent, the balances now employed in London by the leading
French banks will be very largely increased. Serious stringency in this market is not anticipated, but it is thought that
there will be once more a very considerable addition to the
foreign money employed here. The best opinion in the city
likewise is that the shipment of gold to New York will not
be on a very large scale, for it is considered that the liquidation which has been going on in New York for so long will

In accordance with a resolution adopted on July 13 by the
stockholders of the Boston National Bank of Seattle, Wash.,
that institution went into voluntary liquidation on the 8th
inst.
This completes the bank's consolidation with the
Seattle National Bank, for which purposa the latter increases its capital from $100,000 to $300,000.

Railroad and Miscellaneons Stocks.— The stock market
has been active and irregular. It was decidedly weak on
Saturday and during the early hours of Monday, in the
course of which a long list of stocks recorded the lowest
quotations of the year. Before the close on Monday buying
orders were freely placed, offerings were readily absorbed,
and the selling pressure conspicuous for some time past
seemed to have spent its force. Tuesday's market was less
active, but the tone was better, and a large proportion of the
changes was to a higher level. Since Tuesday the market
has been decidedly buoyant and on a largely increased volume of business, amounting to $1,100,000 on Thursday,
advances of from 5 to 15 points have occurred generally
throughout the list. The coal stocks, notably Reading, have
been conspicuous in the movement, but otherwise there is
practically no exception to the general trend of the market.
The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of
the week for some of the prominent issues.

Ootstde Market. Much greater interest was evinced in the
market for unlisted securities this week, and a general
upward tendency in quotations is apparent. Values were
depressed at the start, but late on Monday, in sympathy
with the improvement on the Stock Exchange, the market
took on a firmer tone, which developed into decided strength
as the week advanced. Northern Securities stock displayed
less activity than last week, total transactions amounting,
it is
estimated, to only 16,000 shares.

Repablic Iron & Steel Company.
Report
for the 6 months ending June 30, 1903, and
f
results
for the full year.
President Alexia W. Thompson says in substance:
Qkneral Results.— The statement for the half-year gives evidence
of another pro'^perous period in the life of our corporation. The net
eaminfrs amount to $1,356,777. leavlnK asurpln; (after the payment of
$714,591 In dividends) of $342,186. The aooumalatcd surplus Is $3.
248.206. Liberal amounts were deducted from proflCA of the six
months on account of depreciation, both for all amounts expended for
reconsiruction. renewals and repairs and lor those set aside as an
extinguishment fund for ore and coal consumed out of our holdings,
and also for the value of the rolling mill recently dismantled.
The value of the Invencorles or r^w and liatf«h>>d ma'-jrlals waj
ascertained chiefly by actual weight and count, and by figuring values
Inevery Instance below the market. That the amoants are ^omawhat
larger than six months ago, Is solely due to an Increased stock of steel
billets necessitated by the temporary olowlag on July I of the steel
plant at Yunngstown tor the purpose of Installing two 10 ton, In place
of two 6 ton. converters, and a new 40-lnch train of rolls with new
reversing engines. In tho month of August our steel plant will resume
work wl h a capacity increased to 1,500 tons per day.
ADDITIONS, Etc.— Tne new work in the Birmingham district, together with the new steel plant, and the new continuous mills at
Youngstown, additional coke ovens,, the aoqalsitlon and development
of ore and coal properties, extraordinary replacements at rolling
mills and blast furnaces, etc.. etc., consumed the sum of $6,066,603,
shown in the balance-sheet as disbursed for "new oonstruotlon" during tuc laAt four years. Of this sum $1,918,325 has been expended in
the Birmingham district alone f )r the erection of our new No. 3
Pioneer furnace and of coke ovens, for the opening of ore and coal
mines, for several hundred new houses, for locomotives, railroad
tracks, switches, etc. The new blast furnace No. 3 produced during
the twelve months ending July 1, 1903. 80.202 toas of pig iron,
almost equal to the combined product of Pioneer furnaces Nos. 1 aod
2, and at much lower cost. Pioneer furnace No. 2 was blown out
April Ist, in order to Increase its capacity to that of No. 3. This work
is now completed and during the next few months Pioneer farnaoe
No. 1 will undergo the same change.
Under a favorable lea^e we have lately added to our holdings 1,000,000 tons of desirable ore, and. through the Oonnel svlUe Coke Co.
(the entire capital -took of wnleh Is owned), 1,200 acres of additional
ooklnv coal were acquired on favorable terms.
Baw Material -ttt-irtlng out with a Northern ore supply of only
2,500,000 tons, and with a coal supply of only 1.600,000 tons, the
company now ojmmands a supply of over 20,000,000 tons of the best
grades of Northern ore and of I4.o00,000 tons of CJonnellsvlUe ooklng
coal; suthoient for its Northern bUst furnaces, prodaclng 1,000 tons
of pig Iron per day for a neriod of thirty five years. A large proportion of these ore properties are hold in fee, and tha remainder under
very favorable leaee.^. or under term contracts. We are now mining
all onr requirements with the latest Improved mining machinery.
The company also owns in fee 1,868 acres of steam coal la the
Pittsbargh district, puffloleni to supply its works In the Valley district with steam coal for at lea^t forty years. In Alabama the ompany miaes all its co<i!, ore and limestone, owning a sufBoient acreage
of each almoft entirely In fee ta cover the requirements of its Southern plants for more than tlfty years; It mauufacture-t all of ltd coke
from a battery of 910 ovens, located at its furnaces. Being so amply
provided with raw materials further expenditures In this direction
appear to be unne3eegary f'>r a long time to come.
Pkoddctive CAi'ACixr.— In addition the company has increased its
productive capacity by the erection of a steel plant, modern oontlnuOOB mills and a new blast furnace in the 8outh. and by improving Its
other bast furnaces from 400,000 to 600,000 tons annually. Of tha
original twenty eight rolling mills, five have been dismantled and
the value thereof, less the salvage, written oS to proUt and loss,

The earnings are amply satisfactory and there Is good reason to
believe that they will be the best in the history of the company. With
a surplus on hand of considerably more than $3,000,000, It is highly
—
probable that the directors In October will order the disbursement of
the money already earned, as was done last October. If this year's
earnings fall oS sufilclently to warrant the suspension of dividends,
the fact will not be otliclally known until a year from next October.
Then there might be possibility of a pasBing of dividends If times are
bad.
The dividend to be cotsidered at the aforesaid meeting
would be payable out of the earnings for the year ended

ROCHESTER & PITTSBURGH COAL & IRON COMPANY.
The surplus of the Rochester & Pittsburgh Coal & Iron
Company for the fiscal year amounted to $1,561,086 31, out
of which dividend No. 8 of 15 per cent was declared, and
the amount, $600,000, credited to your Profit and Loss Account.
The above surplus was arrived at after taking from the
net earnings $114,000 08, principal of bonds paid off, and
$294,553 03, expended for mining machinery, buildings,
equipment, development of mines and sundry miscellaneous
items.
&

The Rochester
Pittsburgh Coal
Iron Company derived considerable profit during a part of the year from the
hish price prevailing for coke. The strike in the Anthracite
region also enabled it to sell at advanced prices coal which
was not under contract.
The Consolidated Coal & Iron Company and the Indiana
County Coal Company having been organized to acquire
extensive coal lands and coal rights on the line of your Indiana Branch, the Rochester & Pittsburgh Coal & Iron
Company, with the consent of your Board of Directors, purthe securities of both companies. The amount
disbursed to June 30, 1903, for this purpose was $696,494 93.
With the view of further developing the industries on
the line of your road, the Rochester & Pittsburgh Coal
Iron Company undertook the construction of the Adrian
Furnace at Falls Creek, Pa. It is nearing completion, and
when in operation will be capable of making about 250 tons
of pig iron per day.
At the close of the fiscal year $476,424 19 had been paid on account of the cost of this furnace.
To provide funds to pay for the securities of the two coal
companies, the cost of the furnace, and for othir corporate
purposes, the Rochester & Pittsburgh Coal & Iron Company
created an issue of $2,000,000 four and one-half per cent sinking fund gold bonds, payable August 1, 1933, with option on
the part of the Company to retire the whole or any part before maturity at 105 per cent and interest. $1,000,000 of
these bonds have been sold, the balance remaining in the
treasviry of the Company.
The sum of $35,000 has been set aside out of this year's

Government Weekly Cotton Report —Mr. James Berry,
Chief of the Climate and Crop Division of the U. 8. Weather
Bureau, made public on Tuesday the telegraphic reports on
the crops in the Southern States for the week ending Aug. 10,
summarizing them as follows:
Generally cotton has made favorable progress, but continues unusually late. Some complaints of rust are received from South
Carolina, Florida aiid Mississippi, but as a rule very little complaint
of rust or shedding is reported. The crop has made good growth
throughout the belt and Is generally well fruited. No pioklntf Is
roDorted, and it is estimated that this work will not be general In
Texas before September 1.

Speculation in wheat for future delivery has been fairly
active at steadily advancing prices. Speculative buying for
investment has continued the feature of the trading and has
been induced by the character of the crop iaformation. The
montlily Bureau report was issued early in the week. It
was figured from this report that the prospective yield of the
three leading spring- wheat States will be 168,000,000 bushels,
comparing with 186,000,000 bushels, last season's yield!

factor that has favorably infiaencei the market his been the
unfavorable weather conditions reported for the crop in
Europe. Exporters have been showing renewed interest,
and during the latter part of the week there was fair buying
of cash wheat here and at outports, at advancing prices. Today the market was fairly active and higher on stronger
advices from the Northwestern markets and from Europe
The spot market was moderately active and firmer; sales for
export here and at outports were 170,000 bushels.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
New
Yoek, Friday, P. M., August
14, 1903.
The mo8t|noticeable change in the price of cotton goods this
wetk have been in the print department, a number of staple
lines
having been advanced

ket continues strong in other directions but open changes in
quotations have been slight. Reports coming to hand from
local jobbers and from out-of-town distributing points show
a considerable business in progress, but the demand at first
hands fails to reflect this. Buyers are "shopping" around for
euch goods as they require immediately and frequentl-jr find
great difficulty in supplying their needs, but are still indisposed to contract ahead to any extent. This conservative
policy tends to hold general prices from advancing materially,
in epite of the fact that there is a constantly increasing reduction in the output of cotton goods. Manufacturers are in
no instance endeavoring to force matters and there is as
great conservatism on their side as on the part of buyers.
Business in the woolen goods division has been fair in extent,
with seme disturbance in the price of fancy worsteds for
men's wear.
Woolen Goods.— Business
men's-wear woolen and
worsted fabrics has been about recent average extent. The
demand for fancy woolens has fallen off, so much of the first
round of buying having already been completed, but there is
a steady call for staple lines of woolens. Prices of these
show no change. In fancy worsteds an increase In business
is not*d, but this has been secured by a reduction in the price
of some of the leading lines. The general fancy worsted
situation is unsatisfactory, fancy woolens in medium and low
grades having had a decided call over fancy worsteds for next
in
spring geason. The demand from the cloaking and suit
trades has been mainly for cheviots, other cloaking lines being dull. Overcoatings are quiet throughout.
