MONEY S EASIER
SEVERAL SUSPENDED BANKS
PREPARING TO RESUME.
FIFTY MILLION IN GOLD IMPORTED
Bankers Believe Normal Conditions
Will Be Restored inside Of
Sixty Days.

New York-A distinct i'm,
provement is to be noticed in the
banking and trust company position.
The larger banks, which were more or
less embarrassed in the early part of
last month, have now virtually adjust
ed their affairs and are transacting
business On a normal basis. A num-
Der of the small institutions which
same time are making preparations to
resume business. OF even greater i'm
portance was the partial r~ehabilita-
ton of the affairs of the Trust Com
pany of America and the Lincoln
Trust Company.
$~5o,ooo,ooo in Gold Imported.
The total amount of imported golu
laid down in this city last week and
that now in transit exceeds $50, 000,-
600. The sterling exchange situation
has naturally continued in a very I'M
settled state, the markets of each day
showing extremely wide fluctuations.
While the rates for sterling exchange
are, of course, far above the point at
which under normal conditions large
exports Oh gold would be undertaken,
the premium on currency serves to
counterbalance the rates at which bus
mess is transacted.
Money BECOMING Easier.
If money were not allowed to freely
circulate in the country all business
would stop, including the people who
are secreting funds. If there are per-
sons who have become distrustful Of
the depository institution in which
their money is deposited, let them de.
post 1t in another institution, but they
should bear in mind that in putting it
in safe deposit vaults or in bureau
drawers at home they are doing that
which will work to reduce their own
individual income more rapidly than
that of any other force that could be
imagined. Wall street itself, it is to
be noted, is s~ingularly composed I'M
der the circumstance. Spectators
there, judging from the way matters
have always turned out in the past.
are pretty confident as to what is like
ly to happen in the future. They
know that within ten days more near
ly $50, 100000 in new gold will be in
the country that will serve as a basis
of an expansion of credits of over
5000, 100000. AS the premium on cur
rency is fast disappearing, money is
becoming easier and it is the belief of
the best bankers that within sixty
days money will be a drug on the mar
ket.

The Chinese system Of inviting the
moon to partake of "the moon day

acceptance. The moon does not even
send regrets. 1t serves all the purpos-

announcement cards as practiced by
our own social circles, and also adds
a pleasing variety to the feast, at
least equal to pink shades for the can

The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1907-02-15

called editorially to the matter
many times through the columns of
the Gazette, and they were advised
to take some action looking to the
care of sewerage. They seemed to
prefer to wait until today before
taking any steps to comply with a
law of their own making. So long
as the people above were making a
cesspool of the Truckee they had
nothing but words of censure, but
when it strikes nearer home they
squeal like pig under e gate, and
still want the people living below
those towns to use the water be-
fouled. We have no sympathy
with the movement to let the peo-
pie of Reno and Sparks longer
dump their sewerage into the waters
of the Truckee. The law should
be put i'll force, and the people of
those towns should be obliged to
make other arrangements. The
whole people of the State are in
terested in the waters of the
Truckee, and their rights should be
respected as much as those of Reno
or Sparks. The law is right, and
Reno and Sparks should be made
10 dance to the music of their own
composition.
