UNITED STATES NATIONAL RANKS.
EXCLUSIVE OF RANKS OWN NOTES ON HAND

These diagrams show that in Scotland
there is about 20 per cent more of cur
rency in circulation in November than
in February. In Canada there is % per
cent more currency in circulation in Oc-
tober than in May. In the United States
there was only per cent change in cir
culation during the two years 1894 and
1895, and the most of this change is &C.
counted for not by the changing needs
for currency at different periods of the
year, but by the sales of United States
bonds, which made it convenient for
banks to increase their circulation. Mr..
Root thus explains the changes in Can
ada and Scotland:
For instance, on comparing the cir
culation of Canada and Scotland, the
first thing noticed is that in Scotland
there are two upward movements, one
eliminating in May and the other in
November, while in Canada the former
movement is entirely absent and the
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1897-07-03

other occurs one month earlier than In
Scotland. The explanation will without
doubt be found in the Scotch practice of
making payments on mortgages, inter-
est. annnities. etc, at those dates-a
practice not followed so extensively in
Canada.
In general q single annual move
ment may be said to characterize agri-
cultural communities. This occurs in
the fail, and is due to what we have
come to call moving the crops. Its
explanation may be found in the fact
that farmers as class, are not accus-
toned TO make use Of bank deposits, and
consequently when payments are made
30 them for their crops largely at a sin
gle season of the year, the surplus over
immediate payments is required by them
in the form of notes-it being unques-
tionably true that in any of our agricul-
tural communities i'll this country the
average farmer has in his possession
during the six weeks following the sale
of his crop much larger amount of
currency than during the rest of the
year. The result in the aggregate is an
extraordinary demand, such as that
which leads in Canada to all annual ex-
pansion of 90 per cent in the bank cir
culation.
Undoubtedly the needs for currency
in the United States change about as
much as in Canada but the cost of buy
ing bonds at high premium on which
notes can be issued only to 90 per cent
Of their par value, the red tape neces-
sary TO obtain these notes from the gov
eminent and the tax on circulation
make delay and cost in increasing the
circulation which practically prohibit
an increase until the need for such in
crease is past Therefore interest rates
in this country run up rapidly in Au-
gust and September without appreciably
affecting the supply of currency.
In Scotland and Canada the machinery
necessary to increase the supply Of cur
rcncy is simple and is entirely in the
hands Of the banks; hence the cost and
delay necessary are much less than with
us. Thus in Canada few big banks
with numerous "braSch banks supply
all parts Of the with currency
province - as y &snitoba when the
wheat crop is being harvested-rates of
interest begin TO rise. The profits Of sup
plying currency in this province are in
creased, and Immediately additional sup
plies of currency are cent from the big
banks i'll Montreal, Quebec or Toronto
co their branch banks i'll Manitoba. Thus
the cost Of moving the crops is much
lower in Canada than i'll the United
States, where rates of interest 20 up and
down without materially changing the
supply Of currency. OF course the farm
ers, through increased competition Of
bidders, who obtain plenty of money at
low rates of interest and can afford to
pay high prices, reap most of the benefit.

Necessary to explain here 1t is sufficient
to say that in Canada there is no silver

Secretary of the Treasury Window
said in his treasury report for 1890:
I'm my Judgment the gravest defect
in our present financial system is its
tack of elasticity. n The demand for
money, in this country, is so irregular
that an amount of circulation which
will be ample during ten months of the
year will frequently prove so deficient
during the other two months as to cause
stringency and commercial disaster
The crops of the country have reached
proportions so immense that their move
ment to market, in August and Septem-
Der, annually causes dangerous alb
sorption of money The lack of sufii-
Gent supply to meet the increased de-
mands during those months may entail
heavy losses upon the agricultural as
well as upon other business interest. "
