The Fiuancier SAYS this week:
The official statement Of the New
York associated banks disclosed last
week quite as unexpectedly favorable
conditions as did the statement of the
previous week. The early reported gain
in cash that week was much in excess
of the sum which was estimated upon
the basis of the traceable movements
Of money; the loss in cash last week
was as far below the estimate as had
been the gain in the week of November
"a. 1t seems idle to attempt to cx-
PLAIN the cause for the discrepancy
here noted. Our analysis can deal only
with the official figures. The outward
movements Of money in the last DAYS
of the week were so large as to indi-
cate that the cash return was made up
on declining averages; the losses which
Will be carried over into the current
week may then be Offset by unexpected
gains. The cash decrease as reported
by the statement was $2,7s6.9 300. The
deposits increased $669,600, which, it
may be noted. is smaller by one and
two thirds millions than the sum of the
increase in loans, less the loss of cash
and, therefore. the statement did NOT
prove. The required reserve against
general deposits was only s167 400, add
ing which 10 the loss of cash made
$2,954 300 as the decrease in surplus re-
serve to Sl,449.l25 Computed upon
the basis of deposits less those of S14.-
246,500 public funds, the surplus is So.

NEW YORK, Dec. There was lit.
Today, the constraint on the speculation

Sion that the full result was not in

largest part of the loss came late in the

at work TO cause tho drain are expected
TO continue in force.

December payments may be slow in

ROOSEVELT AT CRISIS
JUDGE GROSSCUP TELLS audi
ENCE THE PRESIDENTS
MEASURE WILL BE TAX.
EN VERY SOON.

Judge Grosscup's lecture. which
was delivered in the Grand opera
house, was under the auspices OF tho
Commercial club. His subject was
National Control OF Corporations
and National Incorporation Law,
Despite the swirl OF snow without tho
opera house was filled.
Judge Grosscup said that I'm his
opinion President Roosevelt now
stands at the crisis OF his great ca-
reer, and that events soon TO occur
VIII determine how large n place he
In to occupy In tho history OF the
country. His mistake, declared the
Judge, was I'm his effort TO do too
many things Mt the same time.
He says the power OF tho national
government does not need enlarging
to enable II to cope successfully with
the trusts. The powers are large
enough and they only need proper
exercises to mako them effective.
What IN wanted" he declared, is tho
spirit OF reform--a genuine peoples
movement organized throughout the
nation and In every state, that will
not lay down its arms until tho bat
