Irregular Movement of
in Business and
Rates
A special from New York, under date
of January 20, says: Last week saw a
considerable increase of activity in the
market for securities, but the irregular
movement of prices was a reflection of
the conflicting influences at work. The
most effective of these had to do with
the technical position of the market it
self, but there grew up mixed views as
well regarding the general outlook for
affairs as between the rapid restoration
of normal banking conditions on the one
hand and on the other, accumulating
evidences of the extent of the reaction
in industry and business and the results
to be expected in the earning power of
properties, with securities listed at the
"Stock Exchange.
The disclosure of the re-establishment
of a comfortable surplus of reserves
above the legal requirement, made in
the bank statement of the previous
week, served to quiet effectively allay
apprehension over the money situation.
The release of funds, which had been
held back from banking reserve to
await this showing, proceeded in a
strong flood, and interest rates on loans
of all kinds, declined in the market,
both here and abroad. The develop
ment had been accurately foreseen by
the speculative element in the securities
markets and previous purchases had
been made to take advantage of new
outside demand, which would be stimu
lated by the increase of money facilities
for use in stock operations. There was,
in fact, a considerable accession of out
side demand for stocks through com
mission houses, but the sales to realize
profits by the powerful speculative par
ty who had been pursuing organized
operations in the previous market,
served as a material offset to this de
mand. Mercantile Needs Supplied.
The first and most important relief af
forded by the pronounced relaxation of
the money market has been in the fa
cilities afforded for strictly mercantile
needs. Anxiety on this point has prac
tically passed away. The quick re
sponse of stocks of railroad-equipment
companies to the news of the sale of
$30,000,000 New York Central equip
ment already delivered, was significant
of the field and extent of this anxiety.
The sale of these notes was made much
of as a proof of the restored confidence
of capital and its willingness to seek
DIED AT THE AD
VANCED AGE OF 93
Grandmother of T. B. andR. A. Bates
Died Monday Evening at the Home
of Her Daughter, in DeLand, III.
A telegram message received at this
office brought the sad intelligence of the
demise of Mrs. W. E. Barnett, grand
mother of T. B. and R. A. Bates. Her
death occurred at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Kate Kessler, in De
Land, Piatt county, 111., with whom she
had made her home for a number of
years. The message did not state the
cause of her death, but it is presumed
her advanced years was. the principal
cause, as she had been enjoying fairly
good health up to the hour of her pass
ing away.
Grandma's maiden name was Miss
Julia Batson, and she was born in Bour
bon county, Ky., in 1815. Here she
grew to womanhood and married W. E.
Barnett, who died in Piatt county in
into. iney were pioneer settlers in
Piatt county, having removed from
Kentucky to that point in 1856, and
there lived until death removed them
The deceased was a daughter of Elder
Batson, one of the early pioneer Chris
tian preachers in Kentucky, and was
known throughout the south as one of
the ablest preachers of his day.
Grandma Barnett was a true christian
woman, and possessed those true traits
of character that endeared her to all
who knew her. She always had a good
word for everyone. While a mother of
six children four girls and two boys
but two survive her W. D. Barnett, of
Clinton, and Mrs. Kate Kessler, of De
Land, I1L; who cared for her in her de
clining years. The oldest son, T. J.
Barnett, died several years ago, as also
did Mrs. M. A. Bates, mother of T. B.
and R. A. Bates and Mrs. Julia Bates

renewed investment in corporate ex
penditures. This impression was modi
fied by the terms of the sale, which
were on an investment return of 5J to 52
per cent, with a marked preference for
the series of notes with the longest
term to run.
In the more immediate money situa
tion consideration is given totheimmin
ent necessity for the United States
Treasury to draw from the deposits
with the national banks to replenish its
working balance, which is depleted by
the growing deficit in the current reve
nues. A movement of the national
banks toward retirement of note issues
is gaining force with the heavy return
tide of cash from the country's circula
tion.
The movement to establish 25 per cent
reserves, with the admission of New
York trust companies to the Clearing
house, if pursued, will call for an ac
cumulation of cash estimated at $60,
000,000.
Retiring Loan Cirtificates.
The question of gold exports is brought
forward by the sharp rise in foreign ex
change towards the end of the week. It
is pointed out, also, that while the eas
ing of the money market has resulted in
a rapid retirement of perhaps half of
the loan certificates issued by the New
York Clearing-house, there is an im
portant residue of these instruments,
vhich were issued for the relief of trust
companies whose retirement may be de
layed by the character of the collateral
securing them, which is slow to be
marketed.
Much of the most important contend
ing influence against the growing case
of the money market is the evidence of
trade contraction and diminished pro
fits. Railroad traffic has fallen to a
low ebb and the American Railroad As
sociation estimated 207,000 freight cars
idle in the country. Heavy decreases
in railroad earnings make up the burden
of reports, and are accompanied by
wide-reaching plans for curtailment of
service, suspension of improvements,
cutting down ot working force and re
duction of pay to those retained in ser
vice.
Some sign of improvement was re
ported from the iron and steel trade
over the low point of activity at which
the year opened. There is hope mani
fested that improvement is at hand, but
the fact that present conditions are to
be reflected in reports of earniners yet
to be made up, makes the speculative
temper apprehensive of effect of these
reports as they shall come to-hand.
The writer could recite column after
column of her many deeds of kindness
as a wife, mother, grandmother and
noble woman, but will not do so at this
time, as she was a stranger to the read
ers of the Journal. Suffice to say, that
her life was such that we know if there
ever was a christian women in this
world Grandma Barnett was that wo
man. We all feel grief-stricken over
her death, and feel a deep regret that we
cannot be present to pay a last sad tri
bute to the memory of dear old mother
and grandmother. Peace to her ashes.

Banks in Good Condition.
The failure of the Sovereign Bank
of Canada, at Toronto, is in no way a
sign of bad times in the Dominion, for
other banks there were ready at once
to take over its affairs with full guar
antee of its notes and deposits. On the
face of the news the troubles of the
suspended institution were due to im
prudent banking.
Advocates of a central bank for the
United States will observe that the
Sovereign Bank of Canada, a private
joint-stock institution, had seventy
eight branches, and they may with
profit ponder the problem of finding a
competent and trustworthy manager
for each of the several institutions in
so complicated a system. The culmina
tion of the troubles of Banker John R.
Walsh, of Chicago, in conviction is only
a side commentary on the dangers of
keeping too many irons in the fire.
The trying experiences of the latter
part of 1907 demonstrated that the
banks of the United States, both State
and National, are sound and well con
ducted. Depositors lost little or noth
ng by the few of them whose affairs
were turned over to other hands. They
are all now filling up with money are
in good shape to finance the great com
mercial and industrial activities of the
year just begun.
There will be no more scarcity of
money until the height of the crop
moving season is reached again next
fall, and then it will not be attended
with the panicky conditions which were
uppermost during the closing months
of 1907. With cotton and wheat sell
ing at unusually high prices, and tend
ing toward still higher figures, there
can be no real setback to prosperity
in St. Louis and the regions which are
its best customers.
Though it is only three weeks since
the end of 1907 the new year is already
old enough to give positive assurance
that good times are to continue. After
a pause the country has made up its
mind that it was needlessly alarmed
and has turned its face to the future
with a confident stride. It could not do
otherwise. The demand for commodi
ties from busy producers with money
in their pockets would not let business
and industry be idle if they tried.
