a sensation at the annual meeting here tonight by
his criticism of the operations of trust companies
in the banking business with practically reserve
In New-York he declared, the trust companies
have more than billion dollars deposit, and
less than per cent cash in the vaults. The present
situation is 10 say the least uncomfortable and is
a matter Of much concern 10 those who have
studied the subject.
Let the banks of the Clearing House fall per
cent below the customary G per cent reserve. he
continued and it is heralded all over the country
IN large type and a financial crash is prophesed.
The last report OF the Superintendent of Banking
he said showed that one largo trust company in
New-York had nearly S6OOG0,O09 of deposits and
did not dollar of cash in its vaults 1t is
true he added this company had a large bank
account but this money left deposit must be
invested. The following resolution was adopted;
Resolved That the failure Of the trust com
panies which conduct banking business to main
tain q proper reserve is a menace to the business
community, and that We the officers of the
tonai and State banks of Group l. NewYork State
Bankers Association. call upon all conservative
trust company officials urge upon law
makers Il Albany enact suitable reserve law
for all banking institutions receiving deposits sub
