Mr. J. P. Morgan believes that there
Is no foundation tor the talk of an Im
uinf hustnes depression. He admits
that large amounts of "undigested se-
twittes" may be on the market, but
he holds that they represent sound val
..m Thr la no better Judge of a
financial situation than Mr, Morgan
He has every right to an opinion on
mcut-ltie. for he still has a number of
them to sell. And no doubt he is cor
rect in his belief that the permanent
nrosoerity is .wired. But there are
certain facts upon which he has seen fit
to dwell which seem to Indicate that we
' are fating a period, not of disaster, but
of relaxed activity.
' Hitherto we have had a great panic
folios-Mi hv a" lone stretch of hard
times, about every W years with mild
er depressions about half way between
We had our last panic in 1893, and an
other will not be due until 1913, but one
Of the gentler reactions, correspond'
tag to that of 1884, would be scheduled
for this year or ttoe next if conditions
were the same as formerly. But the
conditions are not the same. The unre
stricted competition that used to be
the agent in bringing on panics has dis
appeared, and Instead we have combi
nations that regulate the whole machin
ery of production.
The financial situation is certainly
one that calls for caution. The enor
tnous foreign credits that we piled up in
a series of unheard of annual export
v balances have disappeared, and in their
place we have immense debts contract
ed abroad form lenders who are show.
Ing signs of 'measles ad calling in
their loans. The resources of our banks
are strained to the utmost limit. Six
years ago, at the bottom of the hard
times, the reserves of all the National
Banks of the United States were more
than 7 per cent above the legal limit.
Today they are down to that limit and
In many cases below it. In less than four
years, between Feb. 4, 1899, and Sept
15, 1902, the deposits in these banks in
creased by $1,300,000,000 and their hold
ings of specie and legal tenders actually
declined. , Counting other banks and
trust companies the Increase in depos
its was over four billions, with no in
crease in ready cash.
We have been converting floating into
fixed capital at a rate that has rakd our
available resources clean. The volume
of new bonds and stocks listed on the
New Tork StockExchange swelled from
H.047,000,000 In 1893-94 to $3,882,000,000
In 1901-02. In large part these represent
the cost of necessary facilities for car
rying on our growing business. Mean
while they strain our present means,
Including out credit abroad, and we
may have to forswear speculation,
abandon extravagance and live careful
ly until we net them paid for. Phil.

ALLEN STOCK COMPANY WITH UTTIE
VERNA FELTON. MAKES MANY NEW
FRIENDS '
Little Verna Fe'ton, the child actress,
won new friends at the opera house
both on Sunday and last night. She
sustained one of the leading roles In the
eiw tlonal drama "The Fatal Wedding"
and her work was at all times careful
and finished. She does not mar it with
precocious affectation, such as renders
defective the work of many children
featured in the stellar firmament.
1..-S3 than two months ago the Allen
Stock Company played a successful en
ptiwniiMit in Astoria, and on Sunday
tiiftht a Urge audience greeted the mem
hers on their return. Every member of
the company has ability, and in the
"Fatal Wedding" and "Van the Vir
ginian," the play produced last night.
each achieved a personal mark of dis
tinction. Miss Ethel Roberts is a fin
ished player. She was seen to especial
advantage in the role of the adventur
ous . Reginald Barker Is a quiet, pains
taking actor, with which he combines
a fine stage presence. Haydn Steven
son, EUiy Bond, wmiam Bradford,
Charles E. Royal and Russell Reed are
well cast and of the ladles Miss Willa
Feour and Georgia Francis contribute
pleasing efforts.
Little Verna Felt on sings as well as
she acts. One of her songs, "HofDey
Do," was wrjtten tor hr by Charles E.
ltoyal and Arden Allen, the latter lead
er of the orchestra, and makes a decid
ed hit. The song will be published by
them.' By special request "A Black
Heifer" will be produced tonight.
Visitors attending the regatta,- and
others desiring photo work,, should call
at the "Up-to-date" studio before going

The steam schooner Aurella arrived In

The four masted schooner Ethel Zane
went to sea Sunday with lumber for
California. .
THE START AND FINISH
She spent a fortnight sewing
Every morning, noon and night;
She had to vave the dresses
And they must be all right.
Stia trimmed her new hats over,
And made a bathing suit;
Twas fetching as a picture,
And Just about as cute.
She got a yachting costume,
And a toilet for the beach;
A gown for gay receptions.
With which she meant to teach
The belles of Eastern cities
The way that they should dress;
And In her mind she saw, right off,
Their Jealous, deep distress!
She spent a lot of money
On things like that to wear.
Arid mother couldn't stop her
But there were tears to spare
When she found her purse was empty
Gone were her dreams of Joys
Fur she Is rusticating out
In Hoopole, Illinois.
