classes 1t IS either in circulation, in bank vaults,
or IN the treasury of the Government The small
amount that IS boarded. that IS used, the eCOno-
mlsts would put it. as store of value, IS with us
in ordinary times insignificant TO be negligible.
second consideration Of great Importance in
discussion of the money supply is to understand
that the volume q. money in circulation IS deter
mined by the habits and will of the people at large.
and IS not a matter over which tinanciers, bankers,
and Treasury officials have much, if any, control,
The amount Of currency which men carry in their
pockets viii vary in some measure as times
prosperous otherwise; but in the largest degree
that amount is determined by each mans habits
and judgment At any given time bankers can have
little influence in determining it, viii carry
50 much money in his pockets, and if he has more
he viii either directly deposit il in d bank
that 1t viii quickly find lis way into bank deposits.
In discussion of the money question, then,
must keep in mind that the TWO main OF money
are for circulation and reserve that the total vol
ume Of circulation IS determined by the viii Of
individuals, while the total amount Of bank reserves
will equal the total money supply in the country,
less the amount IN circulation and, further less the
amount in the Treasury vaults Bankers cannot
largely vary the supply Of money used bank
reserves.
New-York tribune., 1907-03-03
A Strain Upon the Bankers

FTHk enormous increase IN bank deposits in the
last ten years has put exceptional strain
upon bankers in the direction Of securing sufficient
reserve to sustain the deposits Deposits in national
banks IN that period have increased from two thou
sand one hundred and forty-two million 70 six
thousand lightweight million dollars These gigan-
tic figures take account of four or five thousand
millions Of deposits in other than national banks
On the other hand il is true that we have had very
great increases IN this same period in our money
stock The total circulation has gone up from
fifteen hundred millions TO TWO thousand seven
hundred and fifty millions. National banks have
issued three hundred and twenty Five million dollars
increase of bank notes, while the gold stock in the
country IS about one thousand millions greater than
II was ten years ago This marks per capita
increase from twenty-one dollars and seventy-one
cents to thirtytwo dollars and thirtv-two cents at
the present time Nevertheless the lawful money
reserves held by national banks were eighteen and
one-fourth per cent Of their deposit liability ten
years ago. while the date OF the last statement the
percentage was less than eleven The percentages
referred to do not take into that portion of
reserve which 1t is permitted banks to hold in the
form Of deposits in other national banks
A factor that has been Of world wide importance
affecting the money supply of every country, has
been the enormous increase in the production of
gold. More gold was produced in 1000 than would
equal the entire gold holdings Of all the national

The Value of Bank Notes

TTEk direction where We are most cztrdyagant in
our employment OF money, however. is in the
restriction which We put upon the issue of bank
notes. Most of the countries of the world have dis
covered and thoroughly proved that the properly
safeguarded bank note is for the purpose of general
circulation, for the hand to hand daily use OF the
public, an almost ideal form of currency The
amount Of circulation needed at one season com
pared with the amount needed al another yarlc,
more widely with Us than with almost any other
nation In the fall we require least one hundred
and fifty million dollars more circulation than we
do at other seasons of the year and under our pres
ent system that circulation IS ruthessy drawn from

three weeks IN which the New AOTk call money rate
was six per cent. or higher; at time it touched
sixty per cent High rates for money have by no
means been confined TO loans in speculative markets
Through a considerable portion of the year mer-
chants and manufacturers have been forced TO pay
six per cent, and sometimes even well above that
rate Money rates have been so high that the
ordinary market for investment securities has been
much restricted Corporations have found II diff
cult to put out bond issues, and financing by
means of issues of stock promising high dividend
returns has been resored TO by corporations of the
first order of credit
Such a state Of affairs naturally raises the ques-
tion as 10 whether not have money enough.

there can be only one opinion as 10 the economy IN

two the child claimed by two women,
thus discovering the real mother by her
terror for the life of her child, while the
false mother calmly approved the
Kings Judgment, is typical of many
similar stories of clever and wise judg-
ments pronounced by many heroes and
sages Of Oriental tradition. So we are
told by Prof. Hugo Grossmann, who
holds the chair of Hebrew and Syriac in
the University of Kiel, and writes a
learned article on this subject in ti,e
Deutsche Rundschau. of Berlin. These
stories differ in detail, but in each case
the judge reaches his decision by some
test that brings out the true mother-love
in sharp contrast to the selfish love of
the impostor. In every cycle of immem-
orial folklore. whether told in India,
Persia, Arabia, or even Italy. the same
incident meets us. declares the writer.
and while it is impossible to trace the
connection between the various tradi-
tions, he feels complied to acknowledge
the harmony presented in their ideals Of
administrative wisdom and sagacty He
says:
'Most Oriental peoples celebrate in
their ancient stories the wisdom Of
gifted men as this is illustrated in the
brilliant and sagacious decisions deliv-
cred by them as judges. In ancient In
dia Buddha was put forth as the model
of such wisdom. while to-day Mariadi-
ramen is so extolled. This place is taken
in Japan by Ooka Yechi-zen-no Kami;
in Egypt by Bocchoris or Mycterinus; in
Palestine by Solomon; in Arabia by
Haroun- al Raschid; in Abysinnia by
Adrami. In one instance a gifted mai
den is admitted into this company,
namely Vizatha. Of Tibet In order to
glorify the wisdom Of these men some
times more than a single anecdote is re-
lated of them.''
Without such more or less apocrypal
anecdotes their real glory might have
failed Of transmission in the memory Of
the crowd, and thus "even Solomon,
whose reign marks the most splendid era
of Israelitish dominion might have at
tanned an utterly unmerited renown as
a judge Of no more than ordinary pene-
tration. AS it happens his famous judg-
ment has come down to us and has been
attributed to him as pre- eminently his
own, although it also appears, in some
connection or other, in the traditions Of
many other peoples -
The professor begins to prove the uni
versatility of the Solomonic narrative by
citing the Indian Buddhistic story book,
the Jataka. The incident he quotes is
zone in series Of some twenty similar
narratives in which the wise man in the
The Jewish outlook., 1907-04-05

ny Ills UcclSlOu WnaC seems 10 De an IN
soluble difficulty. In the Jataka it is the
case of mother, who washes her child S
face in pool. "A fairy carries him off
and claims him as her own. When APP
pealed to, the wise man says, "Set the
child free. She to whom he runs is the
true mother, as, indeed, it turns out. -
In the Tibetan-Buddhistic tale, the true
mother is to be discerned by the manner
in which she wins mastery over the child,
not by force and severity which We're
tried in vain by the false mother, but by
love and an exhibition Of helplessness.
The rial scene," as Dr. Grossmann
calls it. is still further varied in the
Chinese comedy Hoei-lau-Ki" (the
''Chalk Circle') where the wise judge
says, "Officer, take piece of chalk,
make a circle on the floor and set the
child within it and the mothers on each
side Of it. The genuine mother will be
able to drag him from within the circle;
the false will fail to do So
Comparing these stories with the He
brew narrative, the professor points ont
the connecting link between them as fol-
lows:
"The point in which all these judg-
ments coincide is as follows. The genu-
inc mother loves the child more than does
the false one, who unjustly claims him
merely to crafty her own self-love The
climax comes in the Hebrew version
where the love of the mother is so in
tense that she will rather be deprived of
her child than see any injury dealt to
him.
In the latter Indian collection "Vi<-

the husband of two wives, one of whom
has lost her child and claims that of the
other. In the Tamil tale "Kathaman-
jari." the man who had two wives. each
with child dies. When one child sub
sequentlv perishes the same dispute
arises between the two widows, and the
judge decides it by restoring, after APP
plying the same test, the babe to it's right
mother, while fhe Furnishes the liar.'' In
the Chinise version the judge orders a
fish to be wrapped up in chld's clothes,
and holds court by the riverside "Nei-
ther of you deserves to have a son. he
eXclaims in feigned anger "Throw the
babe into the river" The true mother
is detected by the eaeerness with which
she pl1nges in afttr her supposed boy,
while the other woman stands still. The
