vADERLIP SPEAKS BEFORE
TIE CHAMBER or COMMERCE
Address on Financial and Commercial Con-
ditions. Toes Not Think Time Favorable
for Expansion Of Bank Credits.
(By the Associated Press.)

Wilmington, n. c.. Oct. 31.-Hon
Frank A. Vanderlip, vice president of
the National Bank, New York, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury during Presi-
dent McKinley's first administration, and
a recognized authority on financial mat
tiers, was the guest of honor and princi-
pal speaker at an elaborate banquet
here tonight under the auspices of the
Chamber of Commerce, the leading trades
body of the city There were about two
hundred representative business men OF
the community in attedance and the
speech of the eminent financier was
listened to with much pleasure. He was
presented by Ms. William Calder, a
prominent business man of Wilmington.
Mr.. Vanderlip rapidly sketched the
financial and commercial conditions OBJ
tanning in the country for the last six
years the vast increase of activity and
volume in all industries; the expansion
of bank credits caused in part by the
movement to aggregate industrial estab-
lishments into single great corporate
units and to convert the evidence of
ownership into corporate securities.
which have entered actively into the
stream of financial operations.
He referred to the diminishing bank
reserve, the locking UP of much liquid
capital into the form of fixed invest
ment the fact that we had reached the
high water mark of our expectation of
manufactures to Europe and that we are
now importing more than we sell. He
spoke of the floating debt we have been
building up in Europe, made up of bor-
rowings in the form of short time bills.
In conclusion, he said:
I'VE have seen what a great expan-
sion of deposits and loans both. remem-
her, almost wholly but evidences of
bank credit, could follow the increase
in the reserve basis that came with the
gold imDortations of 1897 and 1898 We
see from this last statement of the
Comptroller that the expansion has
reached the utmost limit possible with
the present basis of specie and legal
tenders. Is it not we'll to ask. What of
the future? If a hundred million dol
lar importation of gold can serve as a
basis for an expansion OF so many mil
lions of deposits and loans, what will an
expectation of one hundred millions
mean?
1.-The evidences of advancing prices
that check expectation and increase i'm
portktion, the absorption of our ia
vorable trade balance in foreign invest
ments and in the repurchase of securities
the uncertain totals of our floating in
debtedness represented by short time
finance bills, all taken in connection with
the fact that any reduction of the specie
reserve held by banks must be followed
by liquidation which will again establish
the proper relation between reserve and
deposit liability, would seem at least tc
point to the conclusion that this is not
a time favorable for the expansion oil
bank credits"

became frightened and moved off, while
at the same time in the stampede young

the matter to be decided by the com
mission The mine workers are per-
fectly satisfied, however, with the de-
cision of the commission.
The commissioners spent the entire
day in continuing their inspection of the
mines sand the mining region about
Scranton. They visited the Manville
colliery, operated jointly by the Della
ware & Hudson and the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western Companies in the
forenoon, and the afternoon was spent
in riding through the region on a spe-
cial trolley car. The commission Will
spend Saturday in the vicinity of Wilkes
barre, returning here in the evening.
1t is possible the commission may
make a preliminary report on three Of
the principal strike questions. They are
the increase in wages. a shorter work
day, and the weighing of coal. After
these have been decided, the commission
can take up all other questions without
undue haste.
The ManvilIe is said to be one of the
worst mines in this region for the
miners to work The veins are not more
than three feet thick and the miner has
a more difficult time in getting it out
than where the veins are thicker. The
commission walked several miles through
the gangways, and owing to the exceed
ingly low roof, they had to do their
tramping almost continually in a stoop-
ing position. After the arbitrators had
been in the workings an hour, Judge
Gray decided that his back ached enough,
and he came to the surface, accompanied
by Bishop Spalding.
