Circulation OF National Banks
Largely Increased During July.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The financial
depression is to be relieved from a quar-
ter that has not been looked 10 for sue
cor. The report of the treasury de-
partment issued today SHOWS that in
july the circulation of national banks
was increased over S5.GOO,OOO. Control
AZ Eckels. was asked tonight what was
the significance of the increase.
''Ir is due" he said. ''in the first
place, to the low price OF government
bonds, which makes the issue OF cur
Tency, even when restricted to 80 per
cent Of the par value of bonds deposited
to secure it. profitable venture tor the
banks. Four per cents are now quoted
at Sl.OS, which is quite fall from the
maximum figure which they have at
tanned. Then, the stringency of the
money market makes it desirable that the
circulating medium shall be increased
as much as pOssible-natiOual bank
notes secured by government bonds are
a very satisfactory currency.
I'm the quarter ended July 81. the
net increase OF national bank note cireu-
iatiOn was something over eight million
Of dollars, and it will be increased in
this month at least that amount, in my
opinion. The department sent out
over half a million dollars today, and
received applications from three New
\ Ork banks for the issue of 100000 TO
each of the them, $1,000. 600 in bonds
having been deposited with each of the
applications"
'WiIl you recommend that the Iimita-
ton to 80 per cent of the par value of
the bonds, in c Sc of the issue, of circu-
lauOn he remOved?"
Il don't care to say as to that. 1t is
a recommendation that has been re-
peatedly made by controllers in their
reports, but my time has been so taken
up with matters of current business
that l have not had an opportunity to
consider it yet"

Under this law since 1890, Sl50,0J0,OO0

anybody believe that the presence of

Continuing. he said ne was willing to
have the actOf 1890 repealed If the other
Sherman law. the act Of 1878. can be
repealed by the same bill. Let both
Sherman laws 90 together and place the
country back upon the constitution and
the law as it stood before 1873. In his
conclusion the speaker denounced the

put up any more margins. So far as
the trade is concerned, Mr. Fairbanks
is not known IN connection with the
deal at all.
Moran Krous and Mayer, as attorneys
for the Chicago Packing and Provision
company, commenced attachment pro-
ceedings in the superior court this after
noon against the North American Pro-
vision company for $1,000. The de-
fendant company had previously Sus-
pended payments on the BOARD of trade.
The plaintiff company has security for
its claim in the shape OF margins, but as
it was feared these had been or would
be absorbed in the collapse, the action
was instituted.
Attorney Levy Mayer, being known
to represent some of the parties in III
terest, was unable to say exactly wnat
steps would be taken towards liquida-
ton in the case or JOhu Cudahy. He
refused to discuss the matter at any
length, but did say to his certain
knowledge nothing had been deter
mined upon as yet.
Mr.. Mayer did not deny that different
plans for liquidation We're being con-
Sidered, but thought that nothing could
or would be done until the board of
trade accounts had been checked up
and the actual status and condition of
affairs ascertained. Nit. Mayer did say
that from what he knew and could un-
