They take the position that there will ba pleptj of" employment for money, and easy money is not at- all likely.

1 Bankers In this city ara taking; Interest In the efforts now being: put forth by tha Carnegie Trust Company, of which ex-Secretary Leslie M. Shaw of tha Treasury Department Is President, to obtain the New York accounts of out-of-town banks, lit soliciting these accounts Mr. Shaw Is drawing- the attention of the country hankers to tha fact that as Secretary of the Treasury ha dM what he could to assist them, and ha adds that ha feels that he can still be useful to them. A letter under date of May 8 last waa sent to several country banks by Mr. Shaw, as President of the Carnegie Truat Company, in which he aald: While Secretary of the Treasury I tried to assist the country banker, and if I bad not thought I could be still helpful I would not be here.

The Cameaie Trust Company does not expect to pay more for business than Its competitors, but It will go to the limit of conservatism. Does liberal interest allowance on active account, with- th assurance of equally liberal treatment should you need assistance In bridging a temporary period of unusual local demand. look attractive? I should be glad of at least a portion of your New York, account and feel sure you will like our manner of doing business. Some New York bankers who have had copies of this letter sent to them by their county correspondents criticise Mr. Shaw on the ground that tha letter amounted to an admission that as Secretary of the Treasury he had favored the country banka to tha disadvantage of tha banks in the city.

But this criticism, Mr. Shaw said yesterday, is entirely unfounded. No such Inference, ho said, could be drawn from what ho aald In his letter to the country banks. JIa had, he said, tried to help the country banks, but he did not discriminate for or against them. He pointed out that during his administration -of the Treasury Department he had made a large number of banks at Interior points depositaries of public money, but this was not by way of discriminating In their favor, but was prompted by a desire to spread the Government's deposits over the country at large, and, as far as pos sible, to treat city bank and country bank alike.

It had been the policy of some of his predecessors, Mr. Shaw said, to keep the Government's money concentrated In a few places, chiefly in the large cities, the purpose being to keerj the monev where It could ba had most easily and at the bhui irnt iHjLicw. j. iiero was niuca 10 rw said irt favor of this policy, Mr. Shaw said, but he had adopted the policy of wider distribution of the public moneys In the belief tiiat.

Director of the museum, lectured ob the European museums The report of the Anaconda Copper Company for the, year ended Pec 8L 1000, shows an Increase pf $3,234,007 in total receipts, which last year to Total disbursements increased only to $18,334,701. leaving net Income of to which was added inf erest amounting to making a total of Theae net profits, which- are 20.47 cent. on, the company's of stock, remain after the deduction 'of all expenses pf development, depreciation, and depletion of coal and timber lands). Dividends totaling were paid, being double the disbursements In the previous year. The increased earnings were made despite a decrease in the output of.

copper from 83,443, 730 pounds Ih l'JOS to last year, and were duo to the high price obtained for the metal, which, though not stated in the report, has averaged several cents a pound above the market of 1905. This higher price of copper, the report states, has enabled the company to mine a higher proportion of low grade ores, reserving the higher grade ores for the contingency of a Jower market. In this connection the' report, says: Through the economies Introduced In the operation of mines and works and the higher price for ctir, it waa poesible during the year to mine at a profit ore as much as 1 per cent, lower In copper value than the lowest grade considered profitable during the last few years. The actual output of ore from the company's mines was 1.4u0,K)l tons, but an increased amount of ore for other concerns was treated at the reduction works, thus reducing the cost of treating the Anaconda's product. One of th interesting statements in the- report In connection with modern economies of operation In the fact that the, enormous cus draining the-mine by means of a high-power pumping plant waa entirely defrayed and a hand some profit yielded in addition, through the treatment of the water from the workings In a precipitating plant which extracted copper from the water taken out of the ground.

i The subsidiary departments made profits of for the year, says the report, and the coal mine at Belt 25U.851 tons of coal, of Which tons were sold. The sawmills at Hamilton cut fln.832.Kfi7 fct of lumber and timber, of which 4.543,223 feet went Into company use, and 35.287.64 feet were sold. Tho mttter of wages for five years to come, the report sa.ys. lias been settled bv an agreement with the unions, which comprise nearly all tha employes In the mines and works of the company, These contracts provide for the scale of wages In effect before November. 1'JtKI.
