We wonder how many people Of
this vast American continent have
considered the part which the cur
rency of the nation plays in the trans
actions of the general markets of the
world and realize how small a part 1t
represents.
Metallic money and its representa-
tive, the circulating note, are together
only the small change of trade en-
ployed in the settlement OF balances
and the smaller purchases and pay
ments. This is best illustrated by
the fact that the statements of the
New York clearing house show that
not over five per cent. of its trans
actions are liquidated in actual mon
ey. In this we realize that the ex-
changes in modern markets are ef-
fected by the indirect agency of the
credit system and that the banks and
bankers are its machinery.
How important then are solid. ably
managed banking institutions to a
thriving city, and more especially so
when its directors and stockholders
are identified with almost every i'm
portant branch of industry carried
on in their midst. Such an institu-
ton is the First National Bank Of

ago and has paid up capital Of 1885,.
