luton OF inquiry into the condition OF
New York banks, made q verbal re-
port from the committee on finance.
4 fer "A review Of the circumstances
att ndani upon the recent financial
troubles Ia New York city, Sherman
contetdcd that all that had been done
10 rcveDt the panic had been done by
the banks. The government of the
United States had no lot or parcel in
il, cxcep) 20 far as the secretary of the
treasury had called in bonds, which
was an ordinary transaction. The
committee to which was referred the
resolution heretofore introduced by
Morgan. had called before them the
cJiHptgo Ter Of the currency, who was
familiar with all the facts, aud eX-
anincd him and secured from him all
tic information possible at The time.
Trey were still examining the subject
of characterization. The committee
believed that it had been practically
stopped, and there was no evidence
that any o? The banks had over-ccrti-
fed Their checks except those that had
got into trouble.
sherman submitted statement
showing the condition of the assigned
banks of the city of New York by
weeks from May 81 to June Il, 1884,
which WoEld give the senator from
South Carolina almost all the inforina-
tiou called for by his resolution.

doing all that could be done. The
matter then went over, and the Utah
bin was placed before the senate. The
question pending was the amendment
