KNICKERBOCKER TRUST
COMPANY SUSPENDS
Treasury Dept. Comes to
Relief of Banks.
NEW YORK* October 22.—(Spec
ial) —This has been a strenuous day
in Wall street. So critical did the
situation become that Secretary Cor-*
telyou came to the relief by distribut
ing $6,000,000 among the banks of
the city.
The event of the day was the clos
ing of the doors of the Knickerbocker
Trust Company, the second largest
trust company in New York. This
action was taken at 12:30 oc'lock, fol
lowing a run by depositors. The run
started from the announcement by
the National Bank of Commerce that
it would decline to act as clearing
house agent for the Knickerbocker.
President Charles T. Barney has res
igned. Officials declare that the sus
pension is only temporary and that
institution is solvent, with $8,000,000
in' the vaults. Secretary ,Cortelyou
declines to make a statement about
the company.
The Knickerbocker was organized
in 1884, and was capitalized at $1,200,-
000. Surplus and undivided profit
$5,505,000, with total deposists of
$66,000,000. It has three branches
in this city. F. L. Eldridge is First
Vice-President.
*
Held Central Bonds.
The Knickerbocker is the trustee
of the third income bonds of the Cen
tral of Georgia road. Recently near
ly $4,000,000 of these bonds were de
posited with the trust company as a
preliminary" to a contest with the
road for a 5 per cent dividend. The
bonds are in the power of the com
pany, except for the receipts issued.
It is too early yet to tell if the sus
pension will have any effect on the
suit.
London quotations of American
stocks were at sharp declines, with
a further crumbling of prices in
prospect. At 2 o'clock St. Paul and
Union Pacific, two market leaders,
were selling here at the lowest for
the year.
Call money commanded 60 per cent
this afternoon.
CONNECTICUT DEDICATES
MONUMENT TO DEAD.
Exercises Held at Ander
sonville Today.
At Andersonville today a monument

It is expected that a large delega
tion of Connecticut citizens will be
present, including state officials, war
veterans and representative citizens.
The party will arrive this morning
over the Central of Georgia.
A programme has been prepared for
the dedicatory exercises, which in
cludes a number of addresses by
members of the deleation. This
afternoon the party will leave for
their homes in Connecticut.
WORKING TO GET

tively at work to secure the national
prohibition convention for Atlanta.
The matter will be decided at a
meeting of the national committee of

vention.

BULK 0E AMERICUS
COTTON ABOVE 11C.
Sales Thus Ear Reach $ I ,-
150,000.
“With practically 20,000 bales of
cotton already marketed, —that is of
purely local cotton—Americus has
already received over sixty per cent,
of the crop of its territory. But little
of this is being held, the great hulk
of it having been sold at over eleven
cents a pound. That means that our
planters are in good position.”
This was what a local cotton man
told a Times-Recorder representative
yesterday in discussing the situation,
in view of the bearish conditions now
prevailing and the panicky aspect of
things in New York city just at pres
ent.
i
Ahead of Last Year
“Our 20,000 bales already marketed
Represent a total value of about sl.-
150,000. Last year up to this time we
had marketed of local cotton
about 18,500 bales of cotton. Over
7,000 of this went at below 9 cents.
Without the exact figures at hand I
should say that the cotton marketed
up to this time last year had realized
not much over SBOO,OOO. Our plant
ers have accordingly already realized
probably $350,000 more than up to
this time last year.
In November and December last
year the market ran along between
9 and 10 cents the greater part of the
tijne. There is no reason to believe
that it will not do fully that well
this year.
As to our local receipts, some be
lieve that they will he no larger than
last year, while others think they
may run ahead. In any event the
\ cash returns will be considerably bet
ter than last year because our plan
ters took advantage and sold freely
as possible when the market was
over 11 cents. It was God’s blessing
they were not misled into holding for
fifteen cents.
Flatilers In Fine Shape
“If the planters everywhere were
in as good shape as those in the Am
ericus district there would be no
trouble in holding the market to at
least 11 cents. Our farmers have
paid up their obligations pretty well,
some in full, and iwe in financial con
dition, in many instances, where they
can resist downward tendencies of
the market.
“We ned not he disturbed by New
York frantic finances. Our people
are in good shape. The speculators
up there are catching fits. It unset
tles business in a measure, hut it
really does not represent actual con
ditions. It means that one set of
gamblers is squeezing another and
the public suff#rs from the convul
sions of the fellows who are being
punished. But the country’s pros
perity is too stable to be long affect
ed.”
SAWED OFF PIECE
GREAT WHITE WAY
Forsyth street, across from the
Times-Recorder, now reminds us of
a limited section of the “Great White
Way.” Manager Lucas has installed
two powerful lights in front of the
Opera House. These and the large
graphophone are constant reminders
to passers-by that the best entertain
ment Americus has ever known for
the price is in progress within. The
“Moving Pictures” are an undoubted
success. They have been from the
start and are likely to remain so in
definitely.
WANTS LOTS TO
BUILD HOMES ON
Three perons are looking for lots
in Americus on which to build homes.
It is not improbable that one or
more of them will secure locations
soon and erect comfortable dwell
ings.
There is every prospect that the
next few months will see several
homes added to those that have re
cently been erected. Americus is on
the up grade and will continue to
grow.
