TROUBLE AMONG THE BANKS.
Inability to settle Balanccs-Clearing-
House Certificates to BE Issued.

10y titkIoph W Dibptk-b.i
New YORK, November 11.-Rumors
Of trouble among banking institutions
were current all day, but no one paid
much heed to them, thinking that they
were the usual emanations Of bear
minds. After the close, however, it was
learned that three banks which were
members of the New York Clearing
House Association were unable to settle
the claims of other banks against them.
BIG BALANCE.
There was big balance against the
Bank Of North America Of 81, 400, coo.
which it was unable to settle. The other
banks were the North River and the
Mechanics and Traders. How the
heavy balance was created against the
Bank Of North America was puzzle.
II was thought that the firm Of Decker,
Howell q Go. had overdrawn their account
to that extent, but this cannot be
definitely ascertaIned. During the day
the Mechanics and Traders Bank made
its settlements with the clearing house,
and the other two banks received assist
ance from other banks IN the assOcia-
tion and pulled through oil right. At
the Bank of North America it was
stated that the trouble was directly due
to the account of Decker, Howell T Co..
and that now that the account OF that
firm was closed the bank was in q
stronger position than ever.
MONEY 1S9 PER CENT.
The most important factor in the de-
vclopments was the scarcity OF money.
Right up to the close it was in urgent
demand and ! per cent. and legal in
terest was charged on loans, equal TO 1S9
per cent. per annum. This fact and the
troubles of the banks caused special
meeting Of the Clearing House Associa-
tion to be called, and after long session
it WAS decided to appoint a committee Of
presidents with authority TO issue
clearing house loan-certifcates in order
TO enable the banks 10 settle balances
between themselves.
CLEARINGHOUSE LOAN CERTIFICATES.
These certificates will he based on
bills receivable, collateral securities, cash
assets, and the united credit of the
banks. THIS is intended to distribute
the reserves OF the banks more evenly
between the institutions. Where one
bank is unable TO settle its differences in
cash 1t will deliver securities and assets
TO the Certificate Committee, and if that
committee accepts the securities it will
authorize the issue of certificates on
them. The united action Of the banks
is expected TO restore complete conf
dence.

by Telegraph to The Dispatchl

lBy telegraph to the DispatchI
WAsufNGToN, November 1l.--Secre-
tary Window said this afternoon that
his latest information from Wall street
was that the situation is improving, with
indications that the worst IS over. He
declined TO say whether the Treasury
Department would or would not DO eny-
thing for the relief of the money market,
but admitted that he was giving the mat
ter serious consideration. The Depart
ment, he added, stands ready to redeem
A. per cent. bonds to the extent Of Its
resources, but is not ready to make any
overtures to holders of 4 per cent. bonds.
The Secretary further said that the re-
cent heavy disbursements had reduced
the available surplus to $1,000, ,0O0,
and it was question III ms
mind whether tins small working
balance could be still further reduced
with safety to the business OF the depart
ment. IL is true that the national banks
hold so, 600, 600 of public funds, but he
did not care to disturb those deposits at
present.
MONEY PUT INTO CIRCULATION.
In explanation OF the small surplus the
Secretary said that during the period
from July 18th, the last date OF the
circular inviting proposals for the sale Of
bonds, 10 October 3lst there was dis
bursed from the Treasury $780,
O0O,0O through the purchase of
bonds and interest payments and
$50. 600, 600 on gsccount of pension pay
ments, which, together with the issue
Of nearly thirteen million dollars in new
notes for the purchase of silver, made
the total amount of money put into cir
culation SlG3, 900, COO. "These disburse-
ments, said the Secretary "were seven
ty million dollars in excess OF the total
receipts during the same time, and Iyen-
ture the assertion that there never were
before in times of peace such heavy pay
ments in the same space of time.
