PHILADELPHIA MARKETS CORN IS IRREGULAR, WITH TRADING LIGHT ATLiANTTfi HITT. Hint. SS. firnlIEItE are two Ug problems facing the banker of today." ealrt W. B. Irvine, . J. president or tno National Dank of West Virginia. Wheeling W. Va. "Ono Is )foW best, without the least -liturbanco to local Industries and commercial activities. Ito assist theGovernment in financing the war through the sale of Liberty Bonds, 5 and the otner, now 10 Keep tne enormous deposits that aro Dlllne- ud in tho banks. rs a result of unusual business activity and prosperity, invested In good, liquid, (ihort-tlme assets." Mr. Irvine, who Is attendlnff the bankers convention here, savs that the denoslts In itfie banks of Wheeling show a steady and healthy Increase. The principal industries of Wheeling are Iron, steel, coal, class and pottery, and all 10 busy. There have been no labor troubles In Whecllne as yet. nor rumors of trou- Cfcle, and while there Is a scarcity of labor. It Is not Berlous. "Nor are wo feeling any difficulty from a shortage of coal, as In some sections. nd If the worst comes to the worst," continued Mr. Irvine, "tho hills all around us 't'ae full of coal, which wo could go out and dig; but the railroads are supplying us tell up to the present. Wheeling Not in Fanning District "Wheeling Is not in a farming district, so that the farmers' nroblems only touch Fw Indirectly," he remarked. "There are some dairy farms, but not of great Import-linee." Asked his views on the working of tho Federal Reserve act. Mr. Irvine said It tits a good foundation and some valuable changes could be made If -the Senators at TfMhlngton who have chargo of such matters would listen to reason or tho con sensus of opinion of many leading bankers. As to the collections at par, Mr. Irvine Is opposed to them on that basis, and iiwys there should be some compensation, as banks are required to do so much work "for nothing. , Mr. Irvine Is in favor of a vigorous food conservation, and expressed his pleasure t the high-class men who are volunteering to carry It out. Regarding the Bale of Liberty Bonds, he said that West Virginia had far exceeded jier quota, and will do tho same with the second Issue. The selective draft, In his opinion, has taken some high-class young men from Wheeling, but Its effect on the labor ranks is not appreciable. Wage Earners Have Plenty of Money There Is no new financing of any Importance under way In Wheeling, and money items plentiful In the hands of wage earners In particular. "The widespread agitation on economic problems, affecting the welfare of the people of tho United States, both present and future. Is tho most helpful sign I see lis a' result of tho war," remarked J. M. Hartfleld, president of the Merchants' Bank (tand Trust Company, Jackson, Miss. "The effect is already wonderful and I believe Is going to be lasting. , "Tako as an example the so-called back-yard gardens and war farms," ho said. No one can conceive the quantity of foodstuffs that has been raised In this way this I'year. The affair started as a fad; now It Is going to be a permanent Institution, f ind It has already affected the cost of living in our part of the country. "My own personal experience has been a revelation to mo and tho saving in I expense surprising. The full force of the movement will come homo when people take stocky for tho winter with pantries filled with canned stuff grown 'in their war .gardens. "There Is more money in Mississippi than was ever known before, and it is largely In the hands of tho farmers. The wages of tho working class, I am sorry to say," paid Mr. Hartfleld, "havo not kept pace with tho high cost of living." air. Ilartneld says they have lost a world of labor colored from Mississippi, through the call of the North, to munition and other plants offering wages with which they could not compete. And, he added, It is not true that this labor Is coming back. As one Instance 1 among hundreds, Mr. Hartfleld said, he know a man who had been shot In tho East St. Louis riots who came back, and now that he had recovered he Is going north F again. Mr. Hartman takes a cheerful view of the situation and says the boll-weevil and j floods developed Into good things for the South, and he thinks the exodus of colored people will turn out the same way. In Mississippi, besides cotton, they are now raising large quantities of food and foodstuffs, and these crops have been very successful, so that the cattle Industry s trill shortly rival the cotton industry- Co-Operate With Federal Reserve Mr. Hartfleld approves of the Federal Reserve system, and says that his bank j.nd trust company are thinking seriously of Joining. At present they aro co operating with tho Federal Reserve In the matter of collections at par. ,. Lumber Is a large Industry of the State of Mississippi, according to Mr. Hartfleld, and Is singularly prosperous on account of the Government purchases at high prices. f Yellow plno is tho chief product, "but there aro tracts of hardwood. . While coal Is high, no shortage Is anticipated. Tho second issue of Liberty Bonds, Mr. Hartfleld thinks, will be bo hard to pluco, pililVll'UII) UHUUll II1U lailUlO Wi Hu uwniJti.nh n f,v- u. mo. wu..mj iiiiu n; hands of the purchasers. Kxcept in a fow isolated places, the crops In Mississippi have been very good tils year. As to the banks helping the farmer directly, Mr. Hartfleld says they pursue a different system down there. The farmer gets his seed and other supplies through the merchant and the bank takes care of the merchant. Note this fact, said Mr. Hartfleld with emphasis, "The South Is coming, and iteming strong." Conditions in West Virginia The McDowell County National Bank, of Welch, W. Va., is right In the center of the roennntn- and New River coal fields, from which tho United States Govern- nent draws Its coal supply for the navy, and other purposes, on account of Its high quality. Ira J. Rhodes, cashier of that bank, is a member of the Bankers' convention at fXlJantlc City, and Is thoroughly posted on the coal problems in that section. He says that one trouble la the lack of cars and the other Is the high wages paid Jo. the miners. This is in a sense demoralizing, as the men only work three or four flays a week. In the last thirty days, since the price of coal was flxed by the Govern nent, the output has been very much curtailed. Another cause of tho situation, he said. Is tne recent oraer or tne Government to rush coal to the Northwest, and as It takes so long to make the return trip the result U a still greater shortage of cars. Then, the movement of troops to the various can tonments has interfered with coal shipments. Ordinary labor in that part of West Virginia, according to Mr. Rhodes, to paid 2.C0 to 13 a day, and miners make from $5 to B a day. They are not organlzod. Operators of mines, he says, are not anxious 10 speea up production since tne Vrice was fixed, and he believes a higher rate will have an Immediate effect on production, as the small miners have little if any profit In working their mines. The quantities of coal taken out of these fields he estimated as follows: Shipped over the Norfolk and Western Railway, 3,000,000 tons a month; over the Virginia IhUlway, 2,000,000 tons a month, and over the Chesapeake and Ohio about 2.000,000 ton's a month. Most of this goes to Hampton Roads and New England for Govern ment use. Mr. Rhodes is pessimistic as to the result of the sale of the second Issue of Liberty Bonds in his territory. He maintains a great mistake has been made by the Government in not delivering the actual bonds of the first Issue so that the people ho bought the moould get acquainted with what a Government bond looks like, nd the value of the advertising by those who bought showing the bonds to their neighbors, has all been lost. Then, he said, the effect of clipping off the coupon and mhlng It for actual money at Interest greater than some savings banks pay has all gone for nothing. , , "In-H m,i vr nhodes. "a most unfavorable Impression has been created against the banks that sold the bonds, as many think wo are holding their money una never bouht them. I know." he continued, "of one case where suit has been , brought over the failure to deliver." Cost to Belong to Federal Reserve Mr. Rhodes is in favor of the Federal Reserve system, but says it costs the small uiks too much to keep membership. He instanced.hls own bank with a capital of 9100.000. -which costs 13000 a year for membership, and he questions if they get It Kln-beneflU of the system. .""' - ,.,.. "The future outlook seems good in my pari oi u. ""-""'"""; " ,"??"' "We. have no labor troubles, and If the Government revises the price of coal to 2.60 t the mine we will have a largely Increased output." "The biggest problems that banks and bankers have to face in the , near future Hid Gustavo M. Mosler, cashier of the Brighton German Bank, of Cincinnati)., is t And the way. and means of assisting the Government to fln,a"Leble "to b'uv the,le of Liberty Bonds and the educatlpn of the pooplo " to buy. are Ignorant of what bond means.

The strength of October was a fca ture at the opening of the markt this morning.

Liverpool and room traders were Hollers of the lato mouths. Tho eurly offerings were absorbed on the decline of about sixteen to twenty-one liolnts from last night's closing figures on Ueccmber and later deliveries.
