Dun's Review says: The resumption
of business by the San Francisco banks
was accomplished without any disturb
ance, and this factor in the nations
financial situation will probably soon
cease to cause uneasiness. Reports
indicate that banks on the Pacific
coast re-opened with about $45, OOO, 900
more cash than was held prior to the
disaster. Practically all the gold en-
gagged abroad during the recent move
ment has been received and government
deposits are returned to about normal.
AS these artificial elements gradually
disappear, it becomes more possible to
comprehend the situation.
