Idea
Perhaps you have an idea that in order to have a
bank account you must have a large su;n to deposit;
that a bank doesn’t care to bother with small accounts.
This is not true of the “Fourth.” This bank wel
comes new accounts, no matter how small, and extends
the same courtesy and service to small depositors as to
large ones. -
Let us prove it to you.

Him- September 1 1908—
NEW YORK, Nov. II.—'Thara was no
new Incident today which acted as a de
termining factor on the movement of
prices of stock, although the operators In
the board room and ut stock quotation
tickers were ulert aa usual In ranging
the world for signs of such news. In
Its ahsi-nce the niarknt showed the wan
ing Influence of some of the older factors
which have been active for aomo Ume
past, notably since the election.
commission houses report that the vol
ume of orders from clients In scattered
lornlitlea bus fallen off In the last few
days. Tha task of supporting the mar
ket grows more difficult when price lim
it* are placed on the buying order*. The
[growing difficulty of the task was man!-
Ifcst today with the Indifference shown to
the striking advances In a number of
stocks that have beern the more Influ
ential traders of sentiment for montha
past. Tin- rise In Houthern Pacific to
126 established a new high record
that stock and Union Pacific. St.
Il’nut mul Northern Factflc sold at the
highest prices of the present year. The
feeling of distrust gathered force and re
sulted In the general decline In the lat
ter part of the day. 8t. Paul was affect
ed by a report of an Intended bond issue
|H be secured by Its Pacific const lines
Pw building and It was on the official
I denial Of these reporta that the stock
to 159. Northern Pacific was bought
-Jtho assumption that the deduction
from the price tomorrow of the $11.26 ex-
Itivi dividend would make the stock look
cheap and would lead to some recovery
of the amount of dividend. With the re-
nctlouury tendency of prices established
ther© grew up dlscusalou of thn possibili
ty of some setliack In business and In
dustry from the first pace having been
rapid. Professional element lias l*eetd
■Etching for a reaction based on technlJ
cut grounds for itaya. and their rush to
follow the movement helped materially
[to extend the reaction lute today. I
y Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
alue 3M12.000.
J United States bonds were unchanged
Ion cal). Tho total sales of stocks today
were 1.146.900 shares.
