AS we stated some time ago in this
column, every indication at the be-
ginning Of the crop moving season
pointed to the likelihood OF the great
movement being accomplished without
resort to borrowing from eastern banks
or even to a serious curtsiling of ex-
change reserves. The facts at this
time bear out this observation, and
now we are shown one of the surest
proofs of the reality of republican pros
perity, when western aud southern
banks are fully able to take care OF
themselves without outside help. The
Cincinnati Times Star, discussing this
phenomenon, says:
The operation of moving the crops
usually results in all western banks
not only Withdrawing their deposits in
New York. but in borrowing. Ordin-
arily the western banks in September
require from the eastern banking in
situations over Sc, 900, 600 in order to
move the crops. This year the banks
of the west and south are moving their
crops on their own money. Hardly 50, =
900, 900 has been borrowed in the east
for that purpose. This is actual evil
dence of prosperity. The western and
southern banks have enough money of
their own to move one of the greatest
crops in history. They do not have to
borrow money in the east for this pur-
pose.
