Money Shipped by telegraph to RelieVesan
Francisco Banks
WAsHISGToN, D, O., June 22.-Exten-
sive shipments of money by telegraph
from New York to San Francisco were
made to-day by direction OF United
States Treasurer Morgan. The bank
failures. yesterday on the Pacific coast
evidently spurred the banks to increase
their supply Of ready money 10 meet
any emergency that may arise. This
money is Transferred in q simple man
ner. A bank in San Francisco tele-
graphs Its Now York correspondent to
place in the sub-treasury at Now York
a given sum OF money to its credit to
be sent tho San Francisco bank. The
a~ub-treasury at New York telegraphs
the sub-treasury at San Francisco to
credit the national bank with the given
amount OF money. Tho San Francisco
bank thus saves the express charges
and tho government, which receives
gold for the money it transters by tele-
graph, builds up its gold. It is q mu-
tual arrangement by which both the
banks aud the government arc bene'
fitted.
