The feeling In New York ia respect 70
the financial situation is very much im-
proved Money is much easier 10 obtain
and securities are commanding better
prices.
The national banks are preparing 20
make large increase In their circulation.
The savings banks Of the state Of New
York hold about slGO 600 OOOin government
bonds, and it is understood that they are
willing 10 sell SlO,OOO,0OO or 1000, 600 Of
them al a price that will enable the
national banks 10 use them as a basis for
national bank currency at profit OF
about per cent. The New York national
banks have purchased already several
million dollars worth of government
bonds, and they are buying all they can
get al prices at which the bonds can be
used proftably
There are outs landing 1888, 100000 Of
government As, of which amount only
about Sl42, 900 900 are now used to secure
circulation. If the bonds can be obtained
at prices that will permit Of their being
used prohtably as basis for circulation
the amount of national bank currency will
be largely increased very soon.
The amount of gold that is now coming
to this country will aid greatly in restor-
ing confidence. A very large sum has
already been shipped, and it is estimated
that fully 100000 will reach New
York within the next ten days The
balance of trade is now in our favor, and
if it can be kept in that condition we shall
get back within the next few months a
large part of the gold that we have ex-
ported during the last year or two.
What we need now is confidence, so
that the money that is boarded and
locked up in the banks will be put in cir
culation. There is enough money in the
country to meet all the legitimate de-
mands of business, and if confidence can,
in great measure, be restored, it will be
put into circulation.
