He went to the bank and drew out his "pile," MOO, feeling glad that anyone would trust an equal amount with him. The money was counted over by ihe. three-men, and another 1400 in bank notes added to it, after which a package was made of the .whole sum.

ADMITS C0UNTEY HAS ENOUGH While Bank Believes Government Re ports Are Too Sauarulae, Coaatrr Has Produced Crops to Sustain Abundant Prosperity. CHICAGO. Aug. 20. (Special.) After looking over the entire field of American business endeavor and compiling reports from answers to thousands of lnqulriea made through careful correspondents, the Commercial National bar of Chicago ar rived at the conclusion In its eighth an nual "Crop and Business Report" that business is good Is going to be better; banks have as much money In the coun try as they had last year, banks in the cities have more, and while the crops do not come up to the sanguine expectation of early spring, they are ample to sup port an abundant prosperity. Thf -bank report says the government reports of wheat.'both winter and sprlug. Are too high. It ears the government estimate is 20.000.000 bushels too high for spring wheat and almost 40,000,000 bushels too hlph for winter wheat, but concludes the comment on wheat by say ing: "There Is a strong export demand and a high level of prices may be ex pected." Government Report Too High. It Is only a small decrease In the pro duction of corn which the bank has found nd its crop expectancy is placed at 2,623,000,000 bushels, or something like 1.7 per cent less than last year. The correspondents of the Commercial National bank also find the oats crop short short of the government's esti mates, but In reality a good, heavy and average crop. With the losses which the big bank liaj found, it summarizes the crop situation by saying: "We re not below the quantitative average fbr 1807 and, while it must be regretted that the cost of food will remain at a high level, the yield of the farms in value to the producers haa probably never been aurpassed." The banking situation is briefly re viewed, the position being taken that since banking conditions were re-established following the panic, the financial situa tion has been working steadily more fa vorable to a resumption of Industrial activity.' The interior markets and finan cial centers are complimented on their strength and savings banks all over the country are said to be holding their own after losing deposits slnn December, 107. Heavy Burins; Certain. Almost every line of business is re ported as greatly Improved and many bet ter than last year. The bank anticipates heavy buying by retailers, who have al lowed their stocks to get very low. The following is the summary of some of the principal lines: Iron and Steel Production increasing, de mand Improving except from the7 railways. Outlook encouraging. Coal Reduced purchases by railways and manufacturers the discouraging feature. Danger of ' traffic congestion noted. Out look rather better. Building A marked revival of activity noted. Conditions generally regarded as healthy. Indications that the rest of the year will show a volume of business up to average years. Shoes and Leather There hss been a good, recovery in prices of basic material. Shoe shipments are In better volume and local" stocks are known to be depleted. Believed that the trade will steadily im prove. Lumber Manufacturers' stocks show a marked decrease and pressure on prices has disappeared. Apathy of railway buy ers Is the only bad factor. General buying Is Increasing, and it Is believed that the carriers must soon come Into the market. A return of prices to a normal level Is predicted for WO. In hard woods the trade Is said to be deficient in volume, but prict-s hold well. Country buying U Improving. The outlook Is good for winter j and spring operations.

Numerous minor mercantile lines con firm the opinion thnt retail stocks have been depleted to such a point that a good buying movement must soon set In to supply actual needs. There will be no speculative merchandising for some time, but an active legitimate trade at fair prices is expected. . V MYSTERY OF LOST MEMORY Not an Uncommon . Occurrence for Persons to Forget Familiar Karnes. A young Parisian actress who had for weeks held the title role in a popular play, recently. It Is said, was, while on the atagn, suddenly afflicted with forgetfulness and was utterly unable to repeat the lines of the last act,, though she bad successfully passed through the three preceedlrfg ones. It is not an uncommon happening with stage people, lecturers and others, and seems more likely to occur when the matter memorised has been so often repeated that forgetfulness' would appear Impossible while Intelligence remained. The same thing happens in a less marked and conspicuous way to a great number of people, its most common manifestation being forgetfulness of proper names. A name ordinarily familiar and Just about to be spoken will vanish from the mind at the Instant and be to the one about the utter it as If it had never been. His con sciousness grasps ' at it in vain, and, as It were, beats agalnrt a blank wall. It Is always a disagreeable experience," this momentary failure of the memory, and sometimes extremely embarrassing. Often It happens when the victim Is aboui: to greet an old old acquaintance, or when it Is desirable to introduce two men, each of whom he knows well. Doctors do not clearly explain , this oc casional defect In the mental powers, but those who experience it know that Is oc curs wnen they are especially weary or overworked, and they may therefore as sume that It is a form of brain fag and as readily accounted for as a lameness of arms or legs. That Is It most often dis played in connection with proper names Is perhaps due to the fact that these are each held in the memory by separate and arbitrary action and not through associa tion, and are therefore most easily lost. But whatever the cause, the multitude of persons who forget names will have a sympathetic comprehension of the state of mind of the French actress, when she help lessly soughtto find the words of her play.
