GRAIN SHIPMENTS IMPRO vi
COTTON MOVEMENT SERIOUSLY
CHECKED BY LACK or SMALL
s. elLLs.

New York banks were exerting them
selves actively yesterday to meet the
demands Of their country correspond
ents and depositors for currency. They
declare that the suggestions made
from several Western sources that
they are not meeting legitimate de-.
mands for currency from the West are
entirely unfounded, and that they are,
on the contrary, taking every practical
BILE measure to aid the West and
South. Special favors are shown to
the small interior banks where there
is no clearing house, because it is
realized that they are not in a posi-
ton to count upon cooperation and
the use of clearing house certificates,
as is the case of communities having
number of strong institutions.
Cotton Movement Checked.
It is admitted that the cotton move
ment is seriously checked by the lack
of small bills and silver to pay the
small growers and by the inability of
the Southern banks to handle the i'm
mense volume of business accumulat-
ed at Southern points. The grain ship
ments are in better shape, owing TO
the gold secured by the banks of St.
Paul and Minneapolis, and arrange,
ments for paying cash in New York
on grain bills.
The aid which is being rendered to
the situation is indicated by the fact
that the total engagements of GOLD
have now reached $4O,O00,0O0. The to-
tai was materially increased yesterday
by the announcement of several pur.
chases which had not heretofore beer
made public.
Will Relieve Pressure. =.
Of the amount engaged the sum of
21,311,O 900 has already arrived, III
Guiding $12,361, 150 which was laid
down from the Lusitania yesterday
morning. This gold will afford the ba.
sis of nearly $20O,OOO,OO0 in loans and
will materially assist the New York
banks in their efforts to meet the pres
sure for currency throughout the
country.
The fact that practically $60,OO0,O0O
in currency disappeared from the New
York banks within week, as indi-
Gated by the last bank statement, is
considered sufficient evidence that the
New York banks are doing their best
to meet ire demand upon them. The
total drain of last week is computed
upon the basis of an actual loss in
cash of about s30,O0o,000, in the face
of the fact that $30,0O0,00O of public
money had been poured into the New
York banks.
It is not possible to determine what
proportion of this $60,OOO,OOO went
West and what proportion went into
boards in New York. 1t is estimated
in some quarters that about half of
the amount was shipped to Western
banks, but other bankers put the pro-
portion somewhat lower, leaving the
balance be accounted for by hoard
ing. That New York banks are doing
their best to meet the situation was
tersely put by prominent bank off.
cial yesterday when he said that New
York had convulsed all the principal
markets of Europe and forced their
discount rates to points higher than
they have reached in some cases in a
generation in order to obtain the gold
to sustain credit in this country.

A meeting of the Commercial CLUB
will be held Monday night at which

question of parcels post. There will
be a discussion of the question both
pro and con as to whether the pending
bill before congress to establish par
GELS post in the postal department is
desirable. Judging from present indi-
cations it is probable that the club
will pass a resolution to forward TO
Washington, condemning parcels post.
The general opinion is that parcels
mess interests, and that the pacets
post scheme is a pet" of the mail Or
der houses. Consequently it is as
serted by some that he club will con-
denim in no mild degree. the postma5-
ter general for his proposed bill. There
are, however, number of members
who are supporters of the parcels post
and consequently it is certain that
there will be some interesting discus
sions on the matter. State Superin-

will speak before the club on the edll-

Cotton is said to be an Interesting
speaker and it is assured that many
will attend. While the meetings OF
