NOETH AMERICA RECEIVERSHIP ENDS.

for Bank by Mr. Henna.
Lawrence O. Murray, controller of the Currency,

na, receiver of the National Bank of North Amer
ica, and Charles W. Morse, the largest stockholder

ceivership, which began on January 3. Mr. Mur
ray also signed upward of fourteen hundred divi
dend checks for the final disbursement of 25 per
cent to the bank's depositors, who have now re
ceived 100 per cent with interest at 6 per cent from
the time the bank's doors closed.
Mr. Murray directed Mr. Hanna to end the re
ceivership to-day and stop all expenses. He also
called a meeting of stockholders for October 8, at
which time an agent will bo elected to Whom the

peditious manner in which Mr. Hanna had wound
up the affairs of the bank.

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMTBER 19, 1008.
RESERVES ITS DECISIOX.
Charges Against Met- Before State
(iiil Serxice Board.
Albany. Sept. 18 —The State Civil Service, Com
mission announced tc-day that it had reserved de
cision on the application of the Civil Bervtce Re
form Association to investigate th«» Finance De
partment of New York City. It is alleged that
'"ontroiler Metz made appointments in his office
for political reasons, in violation of the Civil Ser
vice rules and regulations. Mr. Metz has sent a
reply to the charges to the commission, in which
he makes a general denial.
President Milliken and Secretary Birdseye of the
state commission have been appointed a special
committee to confer with the authorities of second
class cities In regard to a proposed rniform classi
fication of places in the Civil Service of the citie?.
with special reference, to the classification of chief
of police and chief of the fire department.
Controller Metz has filed with the. State Civil
S«rvlce Commission a reply to the charges of the
Ctvil Pervicu Reform Association. The association
had asked an investigation of the administration of
the I'ivil Service law by the Department of Finance.
In his reply Mr. Mets makes a sweeping defence
of his acts, and says he has carried cut the entire
spirit of the law.
The Controller admits that most of his appointees
in the exempt class may have been Democrats, but
says that fact was not due to political policy, but
to the fact that he. as a Democrat, was better ac
quainted with men of that party. He maintains
that in all such appointments he had an eye only
to fitness.
He defends his aproir.nnent of Charles T. Raines,
son of Senator Raines, as auditor of accounts, by
tndealaa; copies of recommendations from many
well known men. He said he had not reported the
qualifications of exempt appointees more fully be
cause there was no room on the report blanks.
Regarding changes in the bureau of assessment
and arrears, he holds Daniel Moynahan, head of
the bureau, personally responsible, and declares the
results satisfactory. A report from Mr. Moynahan
is inclosed.
The transfer of cashiers from the competitive to
the exempt class he layß at the door of Controller
Grout. He sayß such transfer seems to him an
injustice, and in retransferring these men be was
simply following Mr. Grout's precedent in similar
cases.
The removal of William E. Melody, deputy col
ieetor of assessments and arrears, was not po
litical, he says, but because Mr. Melody criticised
his administration. Dr. Charles J. Pflug, tha
Controller declares, was ousted from the office
of medical examiner because h« was not giving
the city a reasonable amount of time. He doubts
the alleged conversation between Dr. Pflug and
Deputy Controller McCooey.
In conclusion he quotes a few extracts from the
charges whlcb he say 3 illustrate "the general in
accuracy of die statements and conclusions of the
association," and "which were not taken up or
formulated until after they had been prepared by
the Borough President of Brooklyn, who for per
sonal and political reasons, in the public prints
and in speeches, has been constantly and openly
attacking me and my administration." lie asks
why men classed as Incompetent by Mr. Coler
should suddenly become competent for appoint
ment by the Borough President as soon as they
opposed the Controller politically.
lie denies that the exempt class includes all the
higher offices in the department or is given over
to the spoils system
As to the charge that many appointees had no
previous experience for their work, he facetiously
asks what previous experience Abraham Lincoln
had for the Presidency.
In parting, he says: "I probably have not man
aged the affairs of the Department of Finance in
the same way as some other person, if elected
as Controller, would have managed. I regret that
my judgment and opinions regarding Civil Service,
matters have not always been such as to meet
with the approval of the secretary of the Civil
Service Reform Association, who has got to show
activity to justify his retaining his salary."
NEW MERCANTILE TRUST CO. DIRECTORS.
Colonel Dudley Evans, president of Wells, Fargo
& Co.. and Henry W. De Forest have been elected
directors of the Mercantile Trust Company, to fill
vacancies.
THE TRADE IN CHICAGO.
Chicago. Sept. IS.— After the recent activity in
wheat and yesterday yevening-up manceuvres the
trade was quiet to-day, dealers apparently resting
on their oars pending further developments. Con
sidering the advances of the last week, to-day's re
action, V> to 3 4<5?"uc, was not unnatural. Corn and
oats, which have been exceedingly heavy, found
bottom and closed with slight net gains. Provisions
rose 10®224i. , .
The halt in wheat speculation allowed speculators
time to go over the debatable ground whether there
should be further reaction or a continuance of the
advance. Some uncompromising bulls were re
ported as reinstating wheat sold yesterday, and
even adding to undisturbed lines. In practical ef
fect, however, the bears, with undecisive cables,
poor export trade an.l heavy Northwest receipts at
their backs, had the bettor of the argument, for
prices tagged badly after the opening-. Primary re
ceipts were 2.212,000 bushels, compared with 560.000
bushels a vpar ago &sa>oard clearances in wheat
and tiour were equal to 227.000 bushels. V>cal r«
c»ipts were 56 cars. 21 of contract grad». Minneap

GENERAL MARKET REPORT.
New York. September 18. 1808.
COFFEE — coffee market opened at unchanged
prio«B to a decline of S points to-day. In response to
lower French cables, but rallied en covering by near
months shorts and closed steady, unchanged to 6 points
higher. Sales for the day were reported of about 22,000
bags. The feature, from a news standpoint, was th»
cable from Sanios reporting that receipts had been stopped
owinK to the large stocks. This cable was followed, late
in the day, by another reporting that the strike waa oft
in Santos and that merchants were again offering coffee.
"While the early cable mentioned only large stocks as a
cause of the stoppage In receipts, it was believed here
that the real cause arose from strike conditions, as the
Santos <>tock Is now about 1.800,000 bass, comparing
with 2.01 X.1.000 bags (luring Marrh. 1907. Outside this
feature there seemed to b« little in the news to Influence
sentiment. The market at Bantoa was not quoted. Rio
was steady and unchanged. The French marker, was un
changed to Vs franc lower and Hamburg closed hi pf»T
higher to '» pfg lower. New York warehouse deliveries

COTTON' — The cotton market was very nervous and
unsettled to-day, with the close baielv steady at a net
decline of 18@23 point?. Sales were estimated at 175,<MV»
bales. The market opened steady a; a decline of s<g"
points in response to lower cables, reports that the West
Gulf storm had passed over -without causing any serious
disturbance In the Interior, and liquidation or realizing
b\- recent buyers. After selling off to a net decline of
10@I3 points the market steadied slightly, but soon broke
again on reports that the Manchester strike had not been
settled, becomtns very weak in the late trading on.
rumors that the Lancashire mills wcu'.J close down on
Monday. Last prices were at practically the lowest of
the day. The decline during the afternoon was in tha
face of rather a bullish private condition report, making
the condition 73. against 79 at the end of August an<i
71 last year. It seems, however, that this had been
discounted, and the local trade evidently went upon th«
assumption that the advance of the previous day. having
been baaed upon fear of storm damage in the Southwest,
which had not materialized, had been unjustified. There
were rumors that about 1.000 bales of high grade cot
ton were being brought here for delivery on October
contract. Southern spot markets officially reported wera
l-16c to He higher. Press dispatches received earlier
in the day stated that Manchester operatives had voted
to accept "the reduced wage scale. Later private repqrta
had It that the spinners had threatened to close down
on Monday if the operatives refused th« reduction in
wages, and locai opinion* as to the situation were very
much confused. The weekly movement figures of the

also some selling for profits. Later, however, pr.r»i
steadied up on light crude offerings at the South an<l
the strength of hog products. Sales: 1.200 September.
