CURRENCY REFORM NEEDED.
bnnScrou. Drind!ing Of Rank Reserves
Far Reaching Eject o. Nigh
MONEY

William. r. RidEeley, controller Of the
currency, writes in the Brooklyn Eagle as
follows.
A review of the bank reports of the
country for the past year, shows a contin-
ual growth in NIL the Items, not only Of
the national banks, but scatc banks, say
ing. banks, trust companies and private
banks. The banks continue to increase
in number, ard there is no check in the
growth OF their volume Of bushes. a..

During the nscal year ending June 30
1876 III, deposits Of the national banks
for instance have Increased ,.72.,,i.it.. The
deposits Of all the banks. national. State
and private, have increased .s42. COS SO For
tho ten years from 1896 to 1906, the total
deposits OF the banks have Increased
s., 25, sr5, O63, or 1876 per cent
During the ten-year period referred TO-.
the total population OF the United states
has Increased 1876 per cent The total
money In circulation has increased s2.S
per cent. while the total deposits, as stat
cd above, have increased 1866 per cent.
While on the whole this growth is very
encouraging and satisfactory, there is one
side. That is, there has been far great
er increase in the volume Of business, than
in the amount Of reserve money on which
it is based. The national banks held on
September T. last, but 20,70 per cent of the
deposit liabilities In lawful money. as
against 2l,T per cent, on November .,
1903.

There has been corresponding decrease
every year since 1896, This is the only
weak spot in tho banking situation today
and it is only another indication of the
volume Of business being done which is
taxing the facilities of all kinds. With

were never in more prosperous condition

Action Imminent
Barring College
Men From Gibbs
Athletes May Only Com
pete Where Parents
Reside.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The general
expectation OF sweeping action against
the college athlete in athletic clubs at
the coming meeting OF the Amateur
Athletic Union is now likely to be fTl-
filed.
1t was understood that the Metro
pOlitan Association would offer a bl6H-
ket suggestion that all associations
should bar the college men. This was
on the ground that the college men
spoil the chances Of the smaller clubs
because they are enlisted by The big
clubs, and grab up all toe points.
James Z. Sullivan points out that in
the recent championships in this dis
tTlCt this was not the case Few col
lege men made any impression on the
point results What Is killing the
chance Of the small club in this district.
tween the two big clubs, the Irish
American A. c. and the New York A. G.
These clubs between them take up all
the athletes Of whatsoever kind. How
ever. in other districts the college men
form the basis OF athletic club teams.
and as taey live in the districts to bar
them from the clubs would mean the
end of the clubs in the districts This is
notably the case in the Central. Middle
Atlantic, and Northwestern associations.
1t Is for this reason that Mr.. Sullivan
believes that the most that VIII be done
Is 70 pass a ruling that college men
may be eligible 70 athletic clubs IN thar
residence. This will prevent the sum-
mer b0aTdeTs and viii work out for
the hest interests Of the sport, Mr.. Sui
Ivan believes.
