the fall, and in the winter it came
back, after the crops are moved, to
pay debts in the east. But, since
the period of prosperity has set in
throughout the west and northwest,
this money has not come back. it
has remained in those sections and
is now scattered among the people.
In the west, banks that used to
lend at 8 per cent are now glad to
get 4. Chicago, Minneapolis and
St. Paul are offering money to loan
to New York. Mortgages are be-
ing paid off in the west and south,
all of which shows that money is
remaining out in abnormal quanti-
ties.
There are two ways to increase
the volume of the money in cir
culation. One is to increase the
national bank circulation. On ac-
count of the high premiums on
bonds, there is no disposition on the
part Of the banks to increase their
circulation, but rather the contrary.
The other method is to use gold
coins. The banks claim there is
abrasion and loss in the use of gold
coins, but this is imperceptible in
any particular transaction. The
main objection, of course, Isl rthe
weight of the gold, entalling higher
charges for expressage and incon-
veience even when exchanging in
the same city. II. is Said at the
treasury, however, that. the banks
usually want just what the treasury
wants. When the treasury was
craving for gold, the banks held on
to it. Now that the treasury has
plenty of gold. the banks are flush
also.
