FROM THE BALTIMORE AMERICAN, OCT. %.
The New York Journal of Commerce OF
Saturday, 3, p. NJ. has the following para
graph respecting the result of the delibera-
tons of the Bank Convention held in that
city on Friday night:
The BANKs.-At the Bank Convention
held last evening the following sentiments
were agreed upon. That it is the first duty of
the banks to sustain sound currency that
uhder existing circumstances it is inexpedient
10 pledge the Banks to any specific enlarge
inent OF discounts: but that in the opinion of
the convention the time for curtailment has
passed and gradual enlargement may hence
forth take place.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of
Saturday afternoon has the following notice of
the same proceedings
we havejust been advised Of the proceed
ings OF the bank convention. In substance
they were as follows:
LIST. They resolved, unanimously, that the
banks OF New York must and will maintain
specie payments at all hazards.
ina. mat Is lneXpedient at this time to
curtail their line of discounts.
These were the only resolutions passed
The second is intended as an answer to the
application for an enlargement of discounts.
Inc convention did not deem it advisable
to resolve that they would enlarge, but they
determined that they would not curtail. We
are confident. however, that they will enlarge.
Indeed they have commenced doing so. A
single bank yesterday discounted paper to the
amount of $9O,000-a greater sum than they
have discounted on any single day during the
last six months.
The effect of the first resolution. i'm the o.
plnlon OF intelligent bankers, will be most
salutary. The Consequence will be, that the
specie of the whole country will flow into
New York. And the result may be, that
within ninety days, our banks i'm discountng,
Will desire stipulation, as was the fact with
the Bank of America in 1916, that the bor-
rover shall draw the ayails OF his paper in
coin, either of gold or silver.
Referring to these proceedings, the Express
of Saturday, p. Nj. says
The disappointment to the meeting of MGR
chants to be held this evening will be very
great. They had fondly cherished the idea.
that II the Banks would meet together there
would be concert of action that would re-
iieve them. An extension of to 10 per
cent. OF discounts, and the reception of Safe
ty Fund Bank Bills, would save the merchants
from their present distressing condition.
The pressure on the money market to-day
is as great as ever.
