THE FINANCIAL WORLD,
No Need for Emergency Legislation

No Need for Emergency Legislation.
From the NeW York Times, Dec a.
At last the panic has got out of things.
Business in Wall street is nearly back to a
normal basis. Money on call is easy, gold
is on the way here, and time money has
again put in an appearance. Round amounts
are offered ct per cent, and very soon
there will be pressure to lend at less than
that. Whether now the stock market goes
up or goes down, it will be from other
causes than financial fright AS confidence
returns, money is to be found abundant,
because the operation of this change in the
public mind is two-fold-it releases the cash
which had fled to the safe deposit boxes
and IL again gives value to those substitutes
for cash which depend upon credits. The
latter are the chief circulating medium, as
proved by the inquiry made by the treasury
department, and set forth in the recent re-
port of the controller of tho currency.
Actual returns made to the department by
$500 banks, showed that on given day, of
the total of their transactions, less than 10
per cent. was done in actual money; the re-
mainder was in representatives OF it, as
checks, drafts, bills of exchange, certifi-
Gates of deposit, and other evidercel Of
credit, Of which the working value shrinks
enormously in times Of panic The demand

ments, since with fixed amount it has to
fill the void, greater Or smaller as may be.
left by the non-use of the credit money. So
long as this lasts there is general disorgani
eaton, but the readjustments have been
made and Wall street is getting into shape
again. There is now no need of any
emergency legislation" at Washington;
and it Is highly probable that by the time
congress can reach an agreement on any
financial measure, supposed to be to
''relieve the stringency III money" money
will be offering in Wall street at 4 per cent.
per annum. The passage of bill for the
free coinage OF silver, il the silver be
strictly restricted to the product of Ameri-
can mines. as proposed, would give US only
81, 000, 900 more in the yeSr than we have
under the present law. A bill for the
unlimited coinage Of silver would i'm
medately lock up gold-at least this is the
virtually unanimous opinion in Wall street,
and thus produce a sudden contraction both
in cash money and credit money, the latter
by again unsettling confidence And as we
do business in these days with 10 per cent.
cash money and 90 per cent credit money,
it is the credit money which is the import
ant considerati on.

The Electric Meter.

From the Anerictls (7a.) Recorder.
The gas meter has been the subject of
many sarcastic filings, some deserved and
some not, but the time has come for the wits
engaged in such work to turn their attention
to the little instrument registering the
amount of electricity used.
The first Of these TO be put up in Ameri-
Gus now rests securely attached to the wall
in the Recorder Office.
And il is hummer.
The gas meter, tits said, moves rapidly,
butquietly. The electric meter does its work
no less TO the advantage of the company,
but goes with such movement as to bring
forth charming musical note. That is,
charming to the electric light company.
It's a dead march to the consumers
pocketbook, however, and as he pencils a
heavy editorial, his heart is made Just as
heavy end his finances correspondinglyl light
by the eternal hum carried by the flying
wheels of the little meter.
It's daisy, and we'll worth your time to
have lights put in just to watch it move
