Is an abundance OF money for al.legit;mate
purposes. and the constant. cry that is kept
upin Chicago of scarcity of currency is a
great humbug. The real trouble is search
ty OF capital. Chicago is blessed with lot
OF enterprising young men who aspire to
be bankers, and think all that is necessary
to DO smashing business is to rent some
eight-by ten basement in the business part
OF the city, and hang out sign indicating
that "gold and silver is bought and sold,
and interest allowed on deposits
No capital Is required. If they should
happen to have to discount any paper they
rely on sending it to their New York cor
respondent to get it re-discounted, so as to
keep them in funds, but if it turns out that
their conservative New York banker
cant see it, and don't care to invest in
that class of paper. then the enterprising
Chicago by 10 banker starts into the street
and reports an uncommonly tight money
marke. in New York, and some equally
en;erprisiny newspaper reporter imme-
diately writes in his note book that s.mon-
ey to-day is even closer than yesterday"
No better ref0tation OF the whole story
need be wanted than the fact Of the i'm
mense amount of money that is every day
invested IN Government securities.
Money will go where it is most wanted,
thesecurity being equal, and If the Chicago
operators could convince real capitalists
that they We're not doing kiting business
all the money required would soon find its
way there.
