Tile United elates Treasury, partly Induced by the current deficit In the revenues. hasconv me need to withdraw from the national banks the deposits which were placed with them as an emergency measure dur ing the financial crisis. Tbe national bank Botes -which were issued In extra' Ordinary volume at the same time are , going Into rapid retirement by deposit of lawful money with the Treasury by the issuing banks. These symptoms of a contraction in . tbe needs of the circulation are socom panied by signs that interior banks are disposed to keen ud their reserves to a high level and to refrain from redeposit ' in, the central reserve banks to the ex tent, allowed by tbe national bank law, The additional requirements pt the New York trust companies in preparing for the weekly statements of condition were ' another factor in taking up the slack In tbe return flow of money to the reserve centres. The consequence is that the plethoric, money conditions which were expected to follow the subsidence of the' Paclilo have been slow to develop. In terest rates on time loans In New York have shown a hardening; tendency dur Ing the week. Another element In this course of the money market was the . discrimination exercised against collateral offered for loans. Some of the Industrial stocks and railroad securities of companies which have suffered from diminished earnings are looked at askance by money lenders and add to the difficulties of borrowers. The shrinkage of profits and the diminu tion of earnings applicable to payment not only of dividends but of fixed charges I V nas been a conspicuous Influence on spe cial, securities In tbe open market. Cor responding Importance Is given to the plans for curtailment of expenses to meet the decline In earnings. - The question of wage reductions was given special prom inence. . ' , . .-: On the Industrial side a good impression was made by the placing of orders for steel rails by the railroad oompanies and by the report that the "rolling activity of the I'nlted States Hteel Corporation had risen from the 18 per cent, of capac Ity. touched In The depths of the depres sion to some tl per cent, of capacity. The'tcopper market showed Improv ed.lone. Railroad earnings showed no pronounced betterment and operations in general trade were reported to he on con servative lines. The sluggish Investment demand for ' bonds was conspicuous and offered v little encouragement for early success in the placing of new 'capital is sued, . which are relied upon to furnish resources for important projects of ex tension under' way..

How many forget that in Wall Street the Investor can. deal with greater advantage to himself, as a rule, than In any - other financial market T How many understand that there the country can best settle its accounts; send lis savings, and make its Investments mors readily and on better terms. than anywhere else?

But when these same Individuals lose, then Wall Btreet is nothing., but a "gambling bell . and a cesspool of iniquity." - They tall to recognise that their losses are the result of their own cupidity, or Inability to discriminate between sound and un sound Investments.- - They usually . lose because of their own bad Judgment;, but, nevertheless, there is no end to their objurgations. Possibly ther are a few abuses undls covered on the stock exchange that should be remedied. Nevertheless, I af firm without fear of contradiction that there is no business . institution in the United Btates wbere standards are high er or where the integrity of Its members is superior to that practiced on the stock exchange.

" Correspondence ot The Observer.? . New Tork, Feb. 29.r-Recuperation is maklnt slow yet steady progress In the financial district. The betterment which Is going on Is generally of a sort that is not easily seen, but which is. never theless.' laying foundations for a more visible recovery later on. Liquidation " has;'been". VerydrasttcT and complete; weak.. spots tiava been thoroughly ellin tnated, and prices sre so low as to amply discount all unfavorable conditions In the better Class of securities. It Is quite 1 true that many unsatisfactory problems have still to be solved. Business depres sion.' though diminishing. Is still general, and likely to so continue to some extent at least until the presidential nominations and the crop outlook are definitely set tled; - In both .trade and Industry reac tionary tendencies prevail, and more or less friction and trouble Is inevitable as - the readjustment of prices and wages to lower levels proceeds Our railroads ' era keenly feeling this reaction, and their managers are more or leas depress ed ' over a -complicated situation. . What With decreased . earnings. . high rates of expenses, difficulty In curtailing ths lat ter and the. hostile attitude of Federal and State authorities towards corpora tions, their. lot is. anything but a happy or easy one. Some of the weaker rail roads and ladustrlals will, of course, feel the present reaction very severely, and possibly with unpleasant consequences; but In the main these conditions have been well discounted on the stock ex change, and ther is little chapee for any further fall of consequence In the valves of good securities. On the other hand. the inducements to buy for either In vestment or speculation are restricted. The market lacks stimulating conditions, and more or less Inertia exists every where. For some time to come fluctua tions are very likely to be within a com paratively narrow range, although each week finds the market in really a safer and sounder condition than before. After a panic prices invariably show a sharp recovery; then a moderate recession, and then limited fluctuations for a period of more or less length during- which rest and recuperation lay the foundation for a mora prolonged Ise later on. It Is Just ueh a period as this that we are now passing through. There are reasons for hoping that this period of Inertia will be . of shorter duration than usual; especially as -this panic violent as.lt was In the financial district Is having less effect In trsde than usual, because of the absence of any great surplus of products. Bet ter times are surely coming. A great deal of shallow abuse la still being showered on the stock exchange . from all parts of the country. This al ways follows a panto. -It pleases a-cer tain class of Ignorant and misguided pen V to hear Wall Street denounced and neTVmed on every opportunity. It mat ters little whether tbe accusations are ' right or wrong. So pessimistic Is public . opinion that the worse the charces the more numerous the believers. No on looks on the other side; no one is told of the manifold services and advantages of Wall Street as a financial centre. N one Is taught that Wall Street Is merely a central market for capital, just as Chi cago la for wheat. Boston for wool. New Orleans for cotton, etc. How many ap preciate the fact that Wall Street Is as essential to the business life of the coun try ss Is the Legislature at Washington to our polltlesl lifer How many realize that Wall Street Is trie primary nerve centra of the American baslness world; that a blow struck ther Is an Injury to lls Value and Importance Greater Vow Titan Ever Before lr. T. A. Ktiore to Become State Biologist, hut-reedlng- sir. Gerald McCarthy- fcw Superintendent For Oxford Orphanage. Observer Bureau, - The Holfeman Building, Raleigh, March I, The State laboratory of hygiene his now become of greater Impor tance and value than ever before. It originated In. 1900 and was the gen erous response, of the State board of agriculture to the request , of the State board of health, which then had no money for the purpose, to have made In the Agricultural De partment laboratory biological exam inations of drinking water suspected or causing typhoid fever, The Leg islature in 1 90 3 enacted a law to protect public water supplies and soma revenue was derived In thia .way by the State board of health, which then assumed a large part of the expense of the laboratory ty fur nishing the latter and- paying part Of the salary .-of' - the. bio logist and until last June, when an appropriation made by . the last Legislature of 12.000 for the general fund was made, this sup planting the tax on public water companies. Then the partnership In the laboratory was dissolved and the board of health took over the en tire support and control of thia most useful agency for the protection of the public health. The board of agriculture gave the work to Gerald McCarthy and under his manage ment the work has greatly broad ened. ; . Two year ago he said he would leave the Btate last year, and his successor was elected - last June. but could not take charge until now, so that Mr. McCarthy wag asked to continue until March 1st. to which he agreed. He will go abroad coon for further study In Germany. The board of health has found a high class man for the position In the person of Dr. T. A. Shore, a native of "Winston-Salem, a graduate of the State University and for two years assistant In biology there and for three years Instructor In that de partment. During vacations he was employed by the United States bu reau of fisheries at the Beaufort laboratory and as a botanist went oh the expedition to . the Bahama Is lands, sent out by the Baltimore Geographical Society flve rears ago. He took the full medical course at Johns Hopkins, with special atten tion to the analysis of mater and milk, and he has had unusual op portunities to investigate the work of the great public health laborato ries of Philadelphia, New York and Boston. He has likewise made a special study of . the diagnosis and treatment of hydrophobia by the Pasteur methods. By authority of a special act of the last Legislature the board of health will utilise his spe cial trnln for the benefit of North Carolinians and will thus save much money to those who have been bit ten by rabid animals. ' Dr. Shore will be found to be a very valuable man and the State board of health commends him with confidence to the profession, the wa ter companies and the people,' as both reliable and skilful. Tour correspondent srjent one day last week at that splendid Institution, the Oxtotjfi Orphan Asvlum. Wed nesday Superintendent Hicks and his wife will celebrate their golden wed ding. He la to retire from the su nerlntendency of . the Institution a soon' as his successor is chosen snd has been shown - his duties. Mr. Hicks has been superintendent ten years. He tendered his resignation Fome months ago, but agreed to re main until his eucreswor had been selected and also to Initiate him Into the various ' and arduous duties of the position.' The Masons are now looking for a euccessor. Two men are In view Mr. A.. C. Davis. of Goldsboro, who for a number of veers was at the head of the Davis Milltnry School, and Leon, Cash, of Wlnston-Halem. It is probable that the, choice will be made some time In the spring. 1 ardly politicians. We cannot blame Mr. Bryan for trampling them under his feet He 'Knows that an overwhelming: majority, of the. Democrats in Con gress believe his nomination would be disastrous and are afraid to say - so lest his .influence be thrown against them when they come up for re-elec tion. He knows that men who, by reason of their character, ability, and experience hava every right to aspire to the presidency are stifling an hon orable .ambition lest he denounce them as tools of the corporations. He knows the Bryan sentiment Is vastly over-estimated, that he has capitalized It more recklessly than Thomas F. TRvan ever caDltaltzed a street rail wav merger, but .that he la entirely safe in doing- as long as trie uemo cratte party breeds . politicians wha have no convictions they are wining to battle for.
