INCREASE OF RANK CURRENCY.
What the Controller of the Currency
Says Upon the Subject.

The statement in Yesterdays Star that
there had been an increase of over s., 900, 900
in the circulation of national bank notes
during the month of July attracted consid-
cradle attention among fnanciers. as an
unlocked for method of expanding the vol
ume of the currency. Speaking of the in
crease Controller Eckels said: 1T is due.
in the first place. to the low price of gov
ernment bonds, which makes the issue of
currency. even when restricted to 80 per
cent of the par value of bonds deposited to
secure it. profitable venture for banks.
Four per-cents are now quoted at $1.0S
which is quite fall from the maximum
figure which they have attained. Then the
stringency of the money market makes 1t
desirable that the circulating medium shall
be increased as much as possible.
National bank notes. secured by govern
ment bonds, are very satisfactory cur
rency.
In the quarter ended July 81 the net in
crease of national bank note circulation
was something over s., ,O0O,O 900 and it will be
increased in this month alone by at least
that amount. In my opinion: The depart
ceived application from three New York
banks for tle issue of 100000 to each Of
them. 81 10000 in bonds having been depos-
tied with each Of the applications"
Will you recommend that the limitation
to 80 per cent Of the par value of the bonds
moved?"
Il do not care to say as to that. 1t is a
recommendation that has repeatedly been
made by controllers in their reports, but
my time has been so taken up with matters
of current business that 1 have not had an
opportunity to consider it yet
Probable Action of the Banks.
Bankers generally are very much en-
couraged at the prospect of a material in
crease In the circulating medium and will
use every effort to help in the movement.
Arrangements have been made by some
of the more prominent New York banks to
increase their circulation from the mini
an amount as will materially relieve the
present tension. 1t Is estimated that S.
100000 or $40. 10000 will be 80 added to New
York's supply of currency within a very
short time.
Orders have already been placed with the
controller of the currency for part of the
new bills. and some of the banks have
bought their bonds preparatory to deposit
ing them in Washington.
way between the savings banks and the
national banks for the transfer Of a large
block of government As for use as security
for the new circulation. The savings banks
are not allowed ordinarily to carry over
10 per cent of their assets in cash. AS a
matter of fact, they generally carry a
much smaller percentage. SO in spite of
the fact that they have been accumulat-
ing cash lately. they are probably still
below the 10 per cent limit allowed them.
1t is thought that they would rather dis
pose of a large block of securities now and
have the cash in hand than wait until the
cash is actually neede6-in case it ever
is-and then have to sacrifice their holdings
for what they would bring.

When Colonel T. P. Robinson left here
on Saturday it was with the expressed
purpose of interviewing the railroad of
ficials in San Francisco in reference tC
leasing the Snowflake Park property
here. He intimated that he might have
the Stockton team playing league game
here by the latter part of the present week.
But now comes the Post, which says il
is possible that Vanderbeck, VINO had
charge of the Los Angeles Club last year,
may soon re-enter the California League
as manager. When the Los Angeles
team played III Stockton Captain Glenal-
win asked Finn if he would sell the
Slough City franchise. Finn answered
that he would retire if he secured a GER
tain amount of money and the purchaser
was man capable of handling a ball
team.
When Finn went south he was ap-
preached by Nanderbeck, who stated that
he contemplated going into the baseball
business again. There were affairs, how
ever, which required his attention at
present. and he deferred opening nego-
tiations until the Stockton team goes
south again.
If Nanderbeck succeeds Finn in the
management of the team the club will be
transferred to Sacramento. anderbeck
has openly stated that he prefers the
Capital City to the San Joaquin Valley
