This amendment was SrMriv eppoffd. and predictions were made that *;•', p^nnisMon to incorporate so many small Htvp under the control of persons unfamiliar "'£.-. laws and practice of banking, would re- St in a grave menace to the stability of the Snkinc system, and. in times of panic prove a 2?

The panics of •lit en. l 12*07 have demonstrated to the satisfac tions of every candid man that the establishment rf tfaps-*" banks, instead of being a menace or a :Unn* Jar.prr. has proved not only an ark of i'**y to 'the rural communities, but they have, j- their management, shown that the farmers live quickly learned the operations of finance tnfl "roved themselves most conservative bankers Wtie" * " come 10 compare the capital with tfce fsirlns of the** barks. it Is phenomenal to rj,^ tie Mgh percentage that deposits bear to rsriital invested. •There »"<*re on May 14. 190*. 2.157 banks with • capital of less than 550.000 in the United States *--■ her Island possessions, with a total capital !«'s.-: 164 and si total surplus of 511.555.404. -here v..- on June £0.

Shareholders are not only responsible for jj^st- but also for the depositors who use •)x> hank. The bank is not only a repository of •tie savings of the depositor, but it teaches him Vfrr 10 do business in a business way.

So far as dividend 'Ojs:t):::tips are concerned, ho fays that since th* crrinization of the company there, has been created v Eccour.t known as "reserve for additional work er ca-^al " To this account, in addition to the iL-pe maw spent out of the net earnings for eaten *■ and new construction, amounting to 11.603.460. the*e I ,c also been credited out of net earnings the ma cf $2.4r.3.5M.

Jointly indicted with Thpodore E. Price, the former "cotton kinff." for conspiracy to defraud the government and for bribery, surrendered themselves yesterday to Marshal Henkel on the indictments found in the District of Columbia. The men have already tx-en indicted by a federal grand jury in this city in connection -with the "cotton leak case." Prii c did not appear in court yesterday, hut is expected to do so to-day to give bail in the requisi tion proceedings. Marshal Henkel took Haas and Peckham before Commissioner Shields and demanded an examina tion, which was set for July 17.

Peckham was paroled in tho custody of his counsel. There is now pending- before Judge Lacombe a raov* to quash the indictments found in this city against Haas and Price. FIRST COTTON BALE AUCTIONED OFF. Bought for 35 Cents a Pound — Proceeds to Go to Charity. The first bal« of cotton from the new crop was sold at auction in front of the New York Cotton Exchange yesterday morning, th/» purchaser belnif A. G. Hagedorn. who had it sent Immediately to th« Mauritania, sailing at noon. Th« bale, for which Mr. Hapedorn paid 35 cents a pound, or more than three times the market value. Is consigned to the well known cotton house of Ellison & Co.. in Liverpool, by whom it will again be sold at auc tion, the proceeds of both sales being: given to charity, as usual. The sale Is an annual feature, and the bidding for the first bale, which always cornea from Texas, ■was as spirited yesterday as in former years. The bale disposed of yesterday was raised near Alice, Tex., and shipped to Houston, where it arrived on June. 20. and where it was sold at auction, being promptly thereafter forwarded to this city. Another hale, raised near Falfurrias. Tex., and shipped on June 19 to Galveston, where It was sold at auction, was also auctioned off here yesterday morning, the successful bidders being George H. McFadden & Pro., at 15 cents a pound. The pro ceeds of this sal« also will be devoted to charity. FISH UNLOADING I. C. HOLDINGS. Stuyvesant Fish, formerly president of the Illi nois Central Railroad Company, according to Wall Street report, has sold within the last few weeks about ten thousand share.* of his stock holdings in that property, which several months ago, when his content with K. H. Harriman was in progress, he said were 12.452 shares, making him the largest in dividual shareholder. Mr. Fish had been out of town for several days. * It is understood that his sales of Illinois Central have been conducted in the open market, and this liquidation is given as the principal cause of the decline of the stock from 142. its high level for tha year, on May IS. to about 126 at present. It is assumed in the financial district that Mr. Fish will liquidate the remaining part of his holdings, and thus sever all connection with the company, of which he was a director for about thirty years and president for nearly twenty years. He is still a director of the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Rail road Company, a subsidiary of the Illinois Central, his term expiring in October of this year. NEW YORK POSTOFFICES.

NEW-YORK DATLY TRIBTXE, THURSDAY, JT^XE 25, 1908. WESTBTxKOUSE PLAN. Only $1,000,n00 of New Stock Un~ f« hsciibed — Reorga n ization A ssu red. The sucoppa of the m«»rclianiiis« creditors* plan for rehabilitating the Wcstlnghouse Klec-trlc and; Manufacturing Company waa practically assured yesterday at a meeting of the readjustment com mittee, held to consider the reports made on tho preceding day by the various committees that have been at work getting assents to th* plan. Aftei «he mcc ng adjm rnea It waa officially an nounced that th« readjustment committee had de ektod to aid in carrying out the merchandise cred itors' plan and that it was very much gratified with the showing thus far made. Tho committee declined to make public the precise amount of the stipulated Jlft.ooo.ooo of new stock that has been subscribed for. but said that it was substantially as reported. This means that there. Is about $1,000,- M 8 of the amount still unsuhpcrlhed for. It was authoritatively stated that no syndicate would be formed to take up the unsubscribed por tion of the stock, the greater part of which. It 13 understood, represents the pro rata share of the Security Investment Company, the holding concern of the Westinfhoase Electric and Manufacturing Company. The readjustment committee, will meet again to-morrow to take final nctlon toward carry ing out the plan, and after the meeting will Issue a circular outlining Its position and the steps to be taken. Tt is expected that there will be a short extf-rfsion of time in order to secure the remain ing subscriptions before the plan is declared op erative. • The earning out of tho merchandise creditors' plan would pluce tho Wcstinsrhouse company on a substantial foundation, and, it was sr.id yesterday, would render any additional financing unnecessary for years to come. It is understood that th» re organisation plan provides for a strong board of directors, who are to have practical control of the finances of the company, and that George West inghouse will confine himself chiefly to tha busi ness management. Reports from Ptttsburg yesterday stated that nothing of more importance to that city and its financial institutions could happen than the plaolng of the Westinghouse Elect rio and Manufacturing Company on Its feet again. The banks there, it was said, were loaded up with loans secured by Westinghouse stock and the assurance that the company would be returned to the stockholders would be a srodsend to them, as it would mean a return of the stock to or near to tha Values exist ing before the receivership.

ERSE RAILROAD COMPANY, oGOhurch Street, New York. June It. IMS. To the Holders of Prior Wen Bonds and General I.Jen Bonds under the First Consolidated Mortgage of the Erie Railroad Company: The extraordinary business depression which lias seriously affected all the railroad* throughout the United States has so reduced the net earnings of the Erie Railroad that there will be a deficit below the amount necessary to meet fixed charges for the cur rent fiscal year ending June 30. 1903. while It Is con fidently expected that with any return to normal busi ness conditions, this deficit will promptly be made good. It is /necessary for the Company temporarily to obtain the amount from other sources. To this end. among; other things. It has been ar ranged that the coupons for Interest falling: due at any time prior to July I. 1909. may be purchased for cash and. with unimpaired lien, deposited and pledged under the Collateral Indenture of April B', 1908, as additional security for the Six Per Cent. Collateral Gold Notes Issued and to be Issued thereunder, thus maklne the notes more available to th« Company as a means of obtaining further cash If require.!, such notes to be accepted nt par by the purchasers of the coupons for the amounts advanced for such purchase. While such temporary relief will probably suffice for the main tenance and operation of the property during the cur rent calendar year. It will not be sufficient for the completion of th* Improvements begun two years ago. but which have not yet reached a condition where they are available for producing additional revenue for the Company. It was anticipated that the funds for such improve ments coald be provided from the sale of your Com pany's General Mortgage Bonds, but principally owing to the injury done to your Company's credit by the falling off in earnings during the existing; business de pression, such bonds are not now salable except at pro hibitive prices. As these improvements all serve to strengthen th» security of the General Lien and the General Mort gage Ponds, it Is expected that a plan will shortly be prepared for funding the coupons maturing on these bonds for a period sufficiently long to enable the Com pany out of Its current funds to complete the im provements now under way. and thus get the benefit of the large expenditures already ma.l». but which, as above stated, remain as yet unproductive. You are therefore notified that your coupons filing due July 1. 1003. will be purchased at par for cash by Messrs. J. P.
