This call contemplates actual trans- fer of cash from reserves of depository banks to the vaults of the treasury. The reason for the call is that the cash working balance" of the treasury, rep- resenting the cash on hand less de-. mand liabilities, has fallen from the $6O, 900, 900 to $7O,OOO00O of a year ago to less than s2s,OOO, 900. The cause of the decrease has been the treasury deficit of $22, ,OOo, 900, since last June, and the withdrawals for the Panama payment before that time. The governments de-. posits in national banks now amount to $104OO0O 900, or which 25 per cent. would be $26,00O, 600.

press a statement regarding his trip.
Mr.. Mosely does not give the results

for the tour that he marked out and
arranged with such skill, covering the
