sHAWs PLAN MEETS SUCCESS
National Banks are Increasing Their
Circulation.

Washington, August 2S.-In view of ru-
mors as to Secretary Shaws plans for re-
heving the money market in the event of
a possible stringency, the secretary, who
is in New York today authorized Assist
ant Secretary Allies to make the follow
ing statement:
The secretary recently invited some of
the larger national banks in the principal
cities TO order additional amounts of cir
culating notes TO be printed. National
banks are entitled to issue circulation to
the full amount of their capital. The ag-
gregate capital of national banks Of $780,
600 900, but the banks have outstanding
only 1858, 600 of circulation. The secre-
tary has hoped to order an element of
elasticity in the present system. His
suggestions to the various banks in the
larger cities that they make preparation
for additional circulation have met with
very favorable response. 1t is not his in
tention that they should issue this addi-
tional circulation at ali events but only
in case of actual necessity and emergency.
With this in view those banks which have
made arrangements TO deposit United
States bonds as security for such add
tional circulation have sent in their or
ders and the secretary has had all
branches of the treasury service busily
engaged in expediting the preparation Of
the notes pending a possible emergency.
