MONEY PREMIUM DOWN.
May Soon Be Efminated-HeaUy
Gold Import Engagements.

The premium on currency declined sharply yes
terday the rate asked by the money brokers. which
had been as high Thursday 3is per cent
standing at 2 per cent at the close The demand
for money decreased materially despite the fact
that the preceding two Fridays there had been
active inquiry for money for payroll purposes and
despite the delay in arrival Of the Mauretania,
which made her store of gold unavailable for use
this week. that of the firms engaged In the
traffic declined yesterday. for the first time. to
buy currency offered TO them. and at the close of
the day the prospect that the disappearance
of the premium would be a matter of only few
days.
One of these firms announced that after to-day
1t would discontinue trading IN currency the
for the decision being It's belief, based upon
the smaness of the sums now being offered. that
the premium is no longer bringing out boarded
money, but that the currency now being sold to
brokers is In most cases being drawn from the
banks by depositors. a policy which the firm is
desirous of discouraging.
After a day of inactivity heavy engagements of
gold for import were arranged yesterday, Lazard
Freres securing s3 10000. Heidelbach Ickeheimer
&, Co. $2.OOOOOO. Goldman. Sachs & Co. $1,55O,oOO
and Kuhn Loeb & Co. S1250.000, in all $500. .000
bringing the total engagements on the current
movement 20 s77225,000. Most Of the gold engaged
yesterday is come from London, but part will be
furnished by the Bank of France. The importation
from the latter source it is said on excellent au-
thority is not related to the coming issue Of the
per cent certificates of this government.
Business on the Stock Exchange was meagre IN
volume and with little price change most Of the
session prices advancing in the late trading, how
ever on the good impression produced by the de-
cline in the currency premium. Call money again

KNICKERBOCKER PLANS.
Scheme by Which Trust Company
Hopes to Resume Business.

One of the directors of the Knickerbocker Trust
Company made explanation yesterday of the
proposed plan of the committee of directors under
which it is hoped that the company will be able
to resume business The plan provides for the
issue of 5000 shares of new stock at $500 share
bringing the total stock up TO the maximum per-
mitted under the special charter. Sufficient assets
of the company to be set aside a special
trust fund to represent the trust accounts. to
which the law gives preference. All other deposit
accounts are to be paid 80 per cent in coupons or
registered gold bonds of the company, and the rest
in certificates of deposit payable within forty
months after the company resumes business.
In advocating this plan the director criticised
that proposed by the Untermyer committee ad-
mtting that the directors had carefully considered
II. He said
"One of these suggestions that tho capital
Of the company should be increased 10 S6O0O OO0.
thereabouts. and that a preferred stock should
be offered TO the depostors TO the extent of the
increased capital To this there were several in
superabe objeCtions first. that the charter of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company limits its capital
TO 100000; second, that the banking law requires
that the entire capital OF trust company shall
be kept invested in bonds and mortgages or In
federal, state and city bonds. that increase
OF the capital would not increase the cash assets
of the company available for either the transaction
of business the payment of depostors. On the
contrary, IL would diminish them TO the extent 10
which the capital increased. II would further
diminish resources by increasing the tax capI-
tai and surplus to $4,000 and by creating an
nual burden OF $4,000 in dividends the pre-
ferred stock, making $4,000 In all of additional
fixed charges. Such a plan would benefit neither
the old nor the depositcrs."
TIE first advantage Of the directors plan pointed
out the statement IS that II constitutes fund
of s.. 10000 which is Immediately available for
carrying the company's business, while IL con-
stitutes a new security in addition TO the present
assets of the company Attention is also called 10
the fact that while the directors are justified in
expecting that the present deposits will to q great
extent remain with the company. the practcability
of the plan OF paving all the depositors in fun
does not depend all upon such continuance.
