Mr.. Gilmore of the Ware Savings bank
were made a committee on resolutions.
This Was the committees report:
Whereas, The action of the savings
banks of New York and Brooklyn requir-
ing a notice from their depositors of their
intention to Withdraw would seem to make
it imperative that some action be taken by
the savings banks in this state to prevent
the depletion of the cash resources and the
sacrifice of valuable securities, therefore,
Resolved, That in the interests of de-
positors we would recommend that the
savings banks enforce their respective by
laws requiring notice of intention to with
draw deposits.
The resolution was amended by motion
that it take effect tomorrow, which signi-
fed that it was the sense of the meeting
that individual savings banks should act in
the matter promptly. The amended mo-
ton was approved by 40 yea votes, with
only 2 negative votes. The remaining
thirty-four institutions were either not
represented at the moment when the vote
was taken or their representatives were not
authorized to act. A number of gentle
men 30 stated their position, but said that
personally they approved the resolution.
The savings bank commissioners approve

were of no avail the crowd went away in
an ugly mood. Slight runs were also
made on the South Brooklyn Savings In
stitution and on the Dime Savings bank.

NEW LONDON, July 8l.-The following
is an instance of the scarcity of money in
the south and west. A few days ago one
of New London's Wholesale liquor firms
sent an order TO their agent in Louisville,
Ky, for consignment of goods, enclosing
at the same time a check for the payment
of the same. Two or three days later they
received notice from the agent that he
would prefer to have currency as II was
almost impossible to have the check cashed
in any of their local banks owing to the
stringency of the money market. By tbs
next express the firm forwarded the re
quired amount In grsenbscks.

ly Denies the Reports Concerning
santa Fe-Predtcts a Glut in the
Money Market by the End of Sep
TENDER.
CHICAGO, July 81 President J. W.
Reinhart of the Santa Fe arrived here to-
day from the east. In speaking of the
general railroad situation he said:
ut is true that traffic has fallen off very
much, but the men in whose hands is the
management Of the roads foresaw that it
would be many months ago, and began to
prepare for it then. The reduction In ex-
pe.lses in all directions has kept pace with
tho reduction in the traffic, and while gross
earnings may have decreased largely in
many cases, 1t will be found, when the final
settling comes that the net earnings of
most of the roads are as large as they ever
have been.
lam decidedly not of opinion that there
Ia any foundation in fact for the rumors
that have been put into circulation to the
effect that a general passing of dividends
ia to be expected. The rumors have been
started, not by reasonable men, who have
the management of these properties in
| charge and who are thoroughly familiar
| with the real situation in all its details, but
by irresponsible parties who want to buy
it back at cheaper price than they paid
for 1t. They have been started by men
who ought to be In the penitentiary.
81 am very we'll aware that 1t has been
| reported that the Santa Fe will follow the
1 Erie into the hands of receiver. That re.
port originated with the very same class
to which have just alluded. If anyone
can place his hand definitely on the party
who originated that report he will be rem
dering US very great service, for which
We will be very much obliged. We will
then see whether that party knows NOR
of the real condition of this property thai
its responsible officers.
Gin my opinion the present depressio,
will be short-lived. By the end of Sep
tember you will see glut in the none
market and the industries of the countr
will resume their wented activity. I d
not think there is anything to be particu
larly alarmed about in the present raj
road condition"
