Business in Philadelphia is conducted upon a
much more solid basis than IN any other city OF the
country Our regular banking Institutions have
strength and character and are generally I'M
tainted with the vice OF stock gambling. Our mer.

fine themselves to legitimate trade, leaving the

ventures TO their faster brethren Of New York and
Chicago. They may be slower than some OF their
neighbors, but that they are also great deal
surer is aoundanty shown in the present stress OF
financial difficulties, and has been proved in nu-
merous crises hitherto.

enormously for immediate action. 1t was finally
resolved that 900 III certificates should be

Tappan, q. p. Leverch, George S. Coe
and G. F. Hunter were appointed COM

Association who will be the judges as to what
banks are entitled to certificates when In need
while the crisis lasts. Each bank when in want of
assistance must place in the hands OF the commit

certificates will be issued and will be used In the
clearing business instead OF legal tender. 1t will
thus be seen that bank when short of greenbacks

any risk of not being considered good at the clear
