South State are hoverinci dangerously near K. and T. the bankruptcy line. Some of, them | d o, pref. have not a reserve of $1 for each $100 Valley on deposit. Worse still, there is no law enabling the authorities to en force the correcting of this alarming deficiency. Nothina more deplorable could be imagined than any untoward incident which would 3tart a stam pede of the 3.000,000 savings bank de positors in this State which might spread to the 10,000,000 depositors scattered throughout the Union. * * • All danger can be averted by prod ding Albany Legislators into passing a bill now before them “to amend the banking taw, in relation to the crea tion of a reserve fund for savings banks.” Voters should let their State Representatives know very emphat ically that no shilly-shallying with this vitally important and necessary measure will li e tolerated- The need for action WITHOUT DE1LAY is im perative, but-opposition is being en gineered by certain politicians who put their pockets before patriotism. ... The proposed law is not revolu tionary. It will upset nothing. It will not stop the payment of a single savings bank dividend. A few insti* tutions which have no business to be paying more than 3 1-2 per cent would be obliged to keep to that rate until tlioy had built up a reserve offering reasonable protection to its pa'rnns. This is a light price to pay fc the removal of the very grave da -per that will he engendered by the deieat of the bill. At present the State Eanking Department is abso lutely powerless. Its hands are tied. It cannot lift a finger until a bank's solvency has been impaired! It can not lock the stable door until the horse has been stolen. * ■* * Prevention is cheaper. Once let dis aster break out. and there might be no cure. Remember. $1,690,COO,000 de posits are at stake in New York State alone, and $4,500,000,000 throughout tne country. Met cover, an upheaval among savings banks would precipi tate panic among every other class of banking institutions. * # * The great majority—nearly aU—of our savings banks have been capably, unselfishly and patriotically managed. They are phGanihropic institutions. The trustee of a savings bank accepts a sacred office. His duty is not to pay unwarranted rates of interest in order to outdo a rival organization, but first, last and all the time to insure the absolute safety of every dollar entrusted to his care. The savings banks, however, have j been victims of circumstances. You to the ve» y finest securities in the land. But do you also know that these securities have been sinking, sinking, sinking in value during re cent years? Competition for capital has been so keen throughout the world that borrowers—Governments, States, municipalities, railroads, pub lic,, utility companies, industrial cor porations. mercantile firms and indi viduals—have raised interest rates to such heights that the older bonds carrying 3. 3 1-2 or 4 per cent, have naturally fallen in price since they yield so much less than the ones now being offered. • New York Central 3 1-2 per cent bonds, which sold above 111. are now worth only 84. New York City’s 4 per cent bonds have fallen from 103 1-2 to 92 1-2. Atchison 4 per cents, once worth 106, are now below 93. * * • You can thus see how the assets of the savings banks have shrunk value. Incidentally, I do not believe the decline in bonds will go appre ciably farther, but that is not the point.

Prices, however, opened only 1 to 4 points off from last night's dose. Offerings were Immediately increased. The ring ham mered; also, Wall Street, with the result of May. July and August dropping 10 points from the Initial level. July soon increased its decline to 11 points Eater positions, especially October and De cember. received fairly good support from the large spot houses, and their recessions were held within a few points of the opening. The report was construed as bearish when compared with the census bureau acreage estimate last year of 34.097,000 acres and 36,681.000 acres for 1911. when the "bumper crop” was produced. The reactionary tendency w'as sus- talned throughout the morning session and prices were kept at tlie early low level. The market wan friendless during the late forenoon, with the exception of scattered buying by commission houses. There was no evidence of any special support. The bulls were inclined to withdraw, waiting for the selling move ment to pass. The decline was helped along by the absence of heavy frost, which was pre- dicted for Oklahoma. Weather condi tions were favorable over the belt. Many Eire inclined to the belief that the market should have a good reaction, but it is not expected until after May is out of the way. The market is en tirely a weather affair. The support is said to l>e from strad dles. buying here and selling in other markets It also was said that the re port »if mill takings for tlie week would he of an unfavorable character. This brought scattered short covering, but prices failed to bulge to any great ex tent. May was steadied around 11.37; July, 11.44; August, 11.30; October, 11.16 and December, 11.18. At the close the market was steady with prices showing a net decline of 9 to 17 points from the final quotations of Thursday. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.

CHICAGO, April 25.—Wheat advanced as much as Ic this morning on the strength shown abroad, on w r hich there was heavy buying by shorts at Chicago The Buenos Ayres market was again higher, along with the others. North western receipts were largely in excess of a year ago. World's rhipments for Monday are expected to equal the pre vious week and to exceed the corre sponding week a year ago and a de crease on passage is looked for. Corn was a weather affair and was up 4c to %e, with shorts the buyers. Argentine weather is favorable and Liv erpool was a fraction lower. Argen tine shipments were larger than com parative periods. Oats w’ere a shade better with corn. Provisions were higher with hogs at the yards. Tiie fact that May. wheat, was under selling pressure during the entire day, and that the matter of price failed to call a halt on the selling, was the real factor as well as feature of the day. It was the weakening help of the session, and as the May future came out of the hands of longs in tots to suit, the shorts absorbed it in a goodly fashion, but at times they w’ere seen to back away from it. The fact that there is nearly 2,000,000 bushels of wheat here and to arrive from Duluth drove many holders of the May out of the grain. Wheat closed % to %c better. Corn was unchanged to $ to 4c off, and oats were 4 to %c off. Cash sales were 75,000 bushels wheat; corn, 90,000 bushels, and oats, 90,000 bushels. Provisions were a little higher.

AYWARD A CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, April 25. The chief weather development overnight was that the cold wave diminished in inten sity and receded from the belt, thereby removing further danger from this source. . Liverpool came in about one better than due, but spots sales were small. Political news is unfavorable. All Eu ropean capitals express concern over the ; gravity of the situation. The New York Commercial estimates the acreage for 1913 at 36,455,810, an in crease of 6.9 per cent, of which 10 per cent is in Texas and 12 per cent in Oklahoma, while Georgia Is given a de crease of 3 per cent. The market de clined in the early trailing to tt.98 for July and 11.24 for October, principally on selling on better weather than ex- peeted, but the decline was contested and prices soon rallied. New York re ported a better feeling, less liquidation ami more buying by strong bouses. Total. .061 7.259 COTTON MARKET OPINIONS. Logan & Bryan: We think we will see lower prices, although rallies may be expected from time to time. Miller & Co.: We. advise sales of new crops, until the present splendid out look becomes impaired. Norden & Co.: We think conservative purchases on easy spots are advisable. Atwood, Violett & Co.: We think the rally may go further, in which event we think it would prove profitable to resell. COTTON SEED OIL. Cotton seed oil quotations: Opening. Spot . . . April . . .
