DISCUSS SOUND MONEY.
Reform Club Members Hear
Speeches on Elastic Currency.
Hear

The existing monetary conditions and the ao-
vautages and disadvantages Of an elastic cur
rency were the subjects OF a discussion at q din
ner Of the sound currency committee or the Re
form Club held at the Hotel Manhattan last
night Some thirty members OF the club and
their friends were present. Lawrence z. Sexton
presided, In the absence OF the president
Charles A Conant, a member of the sound
currency committee and OF the committee or
five appointed by the Chamber of Commerce.
and treasurer of the Morton Trust Company
said New York was not, and never would be-
the centre OF the worlds finance until change
was made in the monetary conditions so that
call money would not fuctuate from to II per
cent He said he would not argue that the
country needed more money. nor that the
money should bear fixed and determinable
relation to the volume OF transactions. but he
believed that there should be some fexibility in
the currency system. New York could do with
out the bank note under ordinary conditions, he
said, but IL is almost Indispensable to the people
In the rural districts. Continuing he said:
There should be the greatest freedom con-
sistent with safety in the use Of the form Of
credit adapted to given situation Every dol
lar OF gold money should De permitted 70 90 us
should be permitted to assume the form which
will afford the greatest convenience and viii
where IL has ceased to be needed 10 the place
where the need for it is felt. When our none
tary system is so organized that IL Will secure
these results then 120 per cent money will be no
longer possible in New York, and our imperial
city will be qualified to enter without handicap
upon the competition for supremacy in finance
L. Carroll Root, member OF the sound cur
rency committee, said the present system both
reduced the funds available for local loans In
rural centres and made II necessary TO charge
higher rate of interest. To remedy this. Mr..
Root said that il only necessary to repeal
the requirement for investing in bonds. leaving
the country bank free to determine its loans and
investments according TO the needs of its bust-
ness
The theme of John Dewitt Warmers reply to
What Is Needed?" that the government
should keep its hands off the monetary ques-
tion but should watch the commercial moVe-
ments and advise instead of "hampertng and
restricting the monetary situation New York.
TO be the great financial centre OF the world,
must convince the country that she is doing
business "above board" said Mr.. Warner
William c.. COrnwell. of j. S. Bache & Co,
who followed Mr.. Warner, said that he did not
believe that the recent high price of call money
was due TO a lack of confidence by outsiders in
New Yorks method of doing business, but
thought It was caused by the conditions OF the
country districts which made it necessary TO
send money there.
Among the other speakers were Isdor Straus,
