BY EDWARD C. SONE. Bank clearings for July indicate a mid-Summer lull in business in the National Capital, total clearings for the month reaching $121,511,514.9%, according to the figures completed by the Washington Clearing House yesterday. This is a decline of $1,- 063,954 from local clearings for July a year ago, when canceled checks reached the sum of $122,575,468. It is also a marked falling off from the figures of June of this year, when clearing reached $128,361,071.78 and | city. Clearings for the first seven months of this year, however, still show a substantial gain over the same period last vear, the 1926 clearings having reachied $817,197.964, while- at the same time a year ago they totaled £788,103,226, leaving a comparative gain for 1926 to date of $20,094,738. Therefore, in spite of tie expected July slump, business In the Capital is still well ahead of last year and promises to remain so. Clearings by the month so far this year together with the comparative totals for the same period in 1925, are as follows: 6 19 { Januar 410,00 $100.5¢ Febr 93 Total. ... $817.107.064.00 $788.103.220 Chapter Makes Fine Record. In reviewing the history of Wash- ington Chapter, American Institute of Banking, E. H. McQuade says in “Dollars and Sense” that the first president was W. F, D. Herron, now ssistant treasurer,of the Union Trust Co. He was followed in succession by George W, White, George O. Walson, Francis R. Dooley, John Poole, W. McK. Stowell, E. Percival Wilson, rthur B. Claxton, Charles H. Doing, shua Evans, jr. E. E. Herrell, Wolfe, F. B. Devereux, W. W. H. V. Haynes, Roy Ii. Neu- hausar, E. J. McQuade, V. B. Deyber, Charles D. Boyer, W. J. Waller, W. A. Dexter, J. C. Dulin, jr.; H. W Burnside, R. Jesse Chaney and T. Hunton Leith. @ix past presidents of Washington Chapter * are present presidents of banks, namely: Victor B. Deyber, ohn Poole, George W. White, Harry V. Haynes, George O. Walson and E. Wolfe. Maurice Otterback, a charter member of the chapter, is also a bank president. From the chapter have come 10 vice presidents, 4 cashiers and treas- urers, 21 assistant cashiers and as- sistant_treasurers and 20 other of- ficials of banks. Southern’s Record Definite evidence of continued business activity throughout the South is furnished by a number of new high trafic records set by Southern Railway. Figures for, the first six months of the year include the following traffic and earnings | records, in comparison with the cor- responding period of 1925: Revenue tons of freight moved one mile, 4,468,002,000 against 3,924,533, 000; gross. operating -revenues, $76.- 238,000, against $70,999,000; net rail- ay operating income, $15,710,000, against $14,592,000 earnings per share of common stock, $6.62, against $5.70. Net operating income after taxes and rents for June showed an in- crease of 24.4 per cent over June, while gross operating reve- nues increased 8 per cent. Trust Company Growth Amazing. Franels H. Sisson, chairman of the trust company division of the A. B. A, sald recently: “Prust companies have been In existence a I#ttle over 100 years. T\\'entyaflve years ago there were t | Spaid, Half Year. | but 300/ trust companies with total banking resources of $1,500,000,000. Today there are 2,700 companies with resources of $18,000,000,000, showing a growth and development during this quarter century greater than that in all 76 preceding years.” e PROFITS ACCUMULATED. NEW YORK, July 31 (®)—The United Cigar Stores in the first half of 1926 accumulated net profits of $3,712,617, equivalent after preferred dividends to $1.93 a share of its $45,- 900,500 outstanding common stock. Farnings in the corresponding period last year were $2,853,860, giving wir- tually the same return per share on | the $34,791,113 common stock then outstanding. & P American Trade With India. During-May the United States sup- plied 8 per cent of India’s total“im- ports and took 12 per cent of its { exports, as compared with 7.5 and 8.5 per cent, respectively, during the same month of 1925. Increased imports of goods: from the United States were noted in the following lines: Shoes, hosiery, hardware, electrical goods, leather, electrical machinery, agricul- tural machinery, galvanized sheets, paints, provislons and railway ma- | terial. Brother Weds Only Sister. | By the reading of a will it was re- | cently disclosed in London that Archi- bald Francis Cooper had married his ster, Frances Margaret Cooper, some ears before, while on leave from the war. Owing to a family separation while they were young the girl had taken the mame of Newman. Young Cooper met_her while on leave from the war and they were married.

HUGHES. Hiding Money. In the preceding article the risks inherent in money of any kind were discussed. Tt was pointed out that danger was not eliminated by refus- ing to buy securities and by bury- ing money in the ground or locking it up in a safety deposit box. The currency to which the hoarder’s savings have been intrusted might concefvably go the way of the Ger- man mark or the way it now seems possible the French franc may take, or if he had used gold its purchasing power might have been -cut in two. Under both of these suppositions the hoarder would have lost. Now it is possible that instead of lusing’ he would have won. Let us see. Suppose he had put in the hole in the ground he had dug British pounds sterling just after the World War when it was at a substantial discount from its gold parity. If he dug it up today he would have more real money than when he started with. Now let us take the case of gold. This generation {s familiar with rising prices only. Things cost more than they used to and we have ac- quired the habit of thinking that that is the normal evolution of prices, al- ways to g0 up. So we belleve that if we put aside a sum of money now and let it lle idle for 10 years we could not buy as much with it then as now. That assumption may be correct, but there is nothing certain about it. _Thirty years is a short time in the history of a nation or of the waorld, and simply because prices have been rising more or less uniformly since 1896 it does not follow that they are going to take the same course in the next 30 years. They may go down, not up. If they do decline the gold would be worth more, not less, and the hoarder would have made money instead of losing it. Now the object of this article is not to suggest that the reader attempt an operation of this kind. Rather it is to make it plain to him or her that hiding away money instead of investing it does not fully remove the speculative fea- ture involved more or less in all forms of wealth. Speculation is re- garded by many people as morally wrong and by many others as invit- ing almost certain loss. Perhaps most speculators do lose, but some of them win and in a free market the price of any security of com- modity represents the market esti- mate at that time of the opposing chances of profit or loss.

NEW YORK, July 31.—Impressed with the favorable weather outlook over the week end, cotton traders sold rather freely at times today, causing an extreme decline of 9 to 13 points under the previous clome. Efforts to replace these sales near the close, however, sulted in a sharp rally that left final prices un- changed to 3 points net lower. The market opened steady. 4 points higher to 1 lower, and almost imme- diately yielded to local pressure based on predictions for fair weather in the Southwest over Sunday, and the fact that the tropical storm, after taking an almost unprecedented course from east to west, appeared to be disap- pearing in the Mississipp! Valley. October contracts declined to 17.56 and January to 17.50 on this dip. Bears were still nervous, however, and fearing to remain short over the week end, began a covering move- ment near the close that ran the October position up to 17.68. Show- ers, forecast for some of the East- ern States, were expected to increase the weevil menace, but without di- rectly damaging the plant, ~which needs dry weather mostly west of the_river. Next week probably will see nu- merous private crop reports publish- ed ahead of the bureau on August 9. The average of three thus far issued is 14,555,000 bales, compared with the bureau- estimate of 15,368,000, as of July 16, although the trade hardly looks for a cut of 800,000 bales ir the forthcoming Government report. BEAVER DAM ASSISTS ~ FOREST FIRE FIGHT Flood of Water Stops Flames When Oth‘er Methods Failed—Animals Win High Praise. By the Associated Press. % ST. PAUL, July 27.—Because water from a beaver dam enabled desperate forest rangers to extinguish a stub- born forest fire, a new and stanch friend has been added to the beaver family’s long list of Minnesota ad- mirers. . Ranger Mike Guthrie told how after a two-day battle his crew had subdued a three-mile long fire, with the ex- ception of a stretch along a ravine, when the blaze showed signs of again escaping control. Noticing the dam a short distance above the burning ravine the rangers ripped a hole in the embankment and released a torrent of water that soon made history of the fire. Thé frightened family of beavers witnessed destruction of the. paradise which they had labored months in building. But the fire fighters had scarcely gone when the industrious little animals set to work to repalr the damage. “Now,” Guthrie reported, “the beavers have patched their dam and are none the loser for having lost the supply of water. This confirms my beliet that no beaver should be taken except in extreme cases. R R ‘egetarian Repartee.

By the Associated Press:. CHICAGO, July 31.—In a spectacu- lar five-minute flurry, wheat for July delivery made a record-breaking ad- vance today of 113%c a bushel. Ad- venturous traders looking for an end- of-the-month_downturn in values dis- covered too late that contracts could only be filled by handing over in- stanter the actual grain or by pur- chasing on a_wildly advancing market. An excited, pregular finish of the day’s dealings in the wheat pit was the result, with July wheat quoted 8%c to 11%c net higher, but with other deliverles at %c¢ to 73c decline as compared with 24 hours before. Corn closed %c to 1c down, oats un- changed to %c off, and provisions varying from 15c drop to 40c upturn. The sudden buying stampéde in the wheat market whirled into action al- most entirely without giving signs that are the usual accompaniment of a big market fluctuation. About the first indication of something out of the ordinary was a notice from a large commission house declining to be re- sponsible for execution of orders to buy or sell just at the close. Other houses quickly followed suit. and then the market shot skyward, with official closing prices outdone 1lc a bushel in some transactions overlooked in the hubbub. Latest official quotations on the July dellvery stood at $1.56 to $1.5814. & Profit-taking sales in September and December deliveries of wheat more than offset during the late dealings an advance which those months scored early owing to dry and hot weather over the Canadian northwest. Be- sides, bearish private estimates regard- ing Winter and Spring wheat crops in the United States were expected to be issued here on Monday.

The question, “What is mahog- any?” has recently been raised again. There are more than 60 answers to that question. More than 60 specles of timber have at one time or another been put on the market under the name of mahogany. “ ‘What of mahogany? is a more interesting question to the man who buys it for his living room,” says bulletin of the National Geographi Society. “Mahogany, queéen of furniture woods, holds a scepter-and has held it for 200 years. There have been hundreds upon hundreds of competi tors. In what lies mahogany's patent to position? White pine has a softer and more even graiy. Oak is sturdier Other woods can gn stained to re. semble mahogan: natural, warm, reddish tome. Teak Is superior for carving. Circassin walnut and hard maples often show far more entranc ing figure. (Figure is a tree’s auto biography revealed in the grain at a smooth polish surface.) “Mahogany’s position rests in pa on the characteristic, entwining lght and dark ribbons which play like the tones in watered silk “The flowing surface which ma hogany presents to the eye, constantly char , constantly glowing, almost Iifts it out of the class of inanimate things in which all wood falls. It is a quality which mahogany shares with few other woods. But flirting changeableness is a false front. “Not many other woods resist warp ke mahogany, -another outstanding virtue in the estimate of the cabinet maker. Mahogany also takes glua well. And it must be granted that mahogany has guarded its dowry well. The tree takes up its residence s0 deep in the tropical forest that the world cannot afford to make too many paths to it. It is far enough away to excite men’s interest and yet near enough and abundant enough to be useful. Chiefly Caribbean Source. “The United States imports ma hogany from the West Indies, tral America. South America, Africa. France, England and Holland. But, of course, the imports from France England and Holland are reshipments of mahogany received from their re- spective colonies. What is known as true mahogan, comes exclusively from the Caribbean countries. The mahogany limit touches the tip of Florida, blots all of Cuba and most of the West Indies; spreads along the tropical coast of Mexico and extends over most of the area of the Central American _Republics, through Pan ama, and bites deeply into the north- ern coast of South America. “British West African mahogany figures more largely in American im- ports than logs from any country ex- cept Nicaragua. It is an allied species. “Britain has a foothold ‘Honduras largely because any and logwood. The wood choppers which was established there needed protection of the crown In response to their needs the empire added another bit of red to the map. But England probably deserves some | mahogany acreage because of Sir Walter Raleigh. He introduced not only tobacco, but also mahogany, to | Europe. { Queéen of Tropical Forest. its queenly rally. . | fahogany comes by | rank among cabinet woods na It is queen of the tropical forest mature tree usually rises 100 feet to look down on the lesser tangled tim ber. It rules unchallenged over an acre or more of ground. The rots. { resembling Louisiana cypress, spread out before they reach the ground In the old days cutters erected a platform 10 or 12 feet high to escape chopping through so much e wood. Now the roots are prized for their splendid figure. So modern cut- ting, following logging practice in the i Unifed States, keeps close to the ground. Logs are no longer squared; another victory for forest thrift. “In many places trains and barges have displaced the ox teams and river floods as a means of transporta- tion to tidewater. Last vear the United States jmported 72,000.000.000 board feet of mahogany (a board foot is 1 inch by 12 inches by 12 inches). nearly nine times the imports 30 years ago. A single mahogany log will some- times bring as much as $3.000. No wonder, some men, entranced by the beauty of the wood, have become ma- hogany misers. There is a record of one such miser in England. hoarded a few chosen logs in cellar. On mo condition would he sell them. Each day, it is said, he de scended the stairs, lighting his way with a candle, and dusted the logs with a silk handkerchief. After his death the logs were sold. Some of the miser’s precious mahogany found fts way to America. Masters Worked in Mahogany. “The old masterpiece models for modern furniture, the originals which good taste for two centuries has branded good, mostly are in mahog- any. Thomas Chippendale was born in Worcester early in the elghteenth century. Members of his family wern wood workers. He grew up to be a wood worker, also, but he became a lover of beauty. Chippendale’s chairs tables and cabinets, presented in his catalogue entitled ‘The Gentlemen's and Cabinet Makers' Director,’ revo- lutionized domestic furniture’ styles. ’ " |Many Chippendale designs are dupli cated today in mahogany, which he used more than any other wood. “Then along came Sheraton, min- ister, author. architect and cabin maker. - ‘Chippendale is all wrong. he said. Sherafon's style now is standard also. Then followed Hepple- white and Company. ‘Sheraton is all wrong,’ they said. Thereupon, thex created the Hepplewhife style. Al three masters in what is known as England’s ‘Golden Age’ of \furniture- making worked chiefly in mahogany Naturally_the fact that masterpieces were made in mahogany Increased the wood’s popularity.” Argentine 0il Production. Reliable estimates of the production of crude petroleum in Argentina dur- ing the vear 1925 give the output of government wells as 3,773,585 barrels and that of private wells as 2,044,025, making a total production of 5,817,610 barrels.
