The financial conditions existing today
are due to a combination Of CAUSES. Chief
among these is the publicity given the
methods of some 'ocFthe large operaters

There is not enough money to carry

LONDON IMPRESSED.
Action of Secretary Cortelyou Help
ed to Clear Situation.

LONDON. October 23.-The promise Of
Secre tary Cortelyou Of the United States
Treasury to place large deposits of gov
eminent money in the New York banks
created a favorable impression on the
stock exchange here today and the Ameri-
can section rallied. Prices started at
around parity and improved during the
forenoon on moderate support. Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul, Louisville and
Nashville and Canadian Pacific showed
an improvement of one point over the
New York equivalent. --.t
The feeling in London, however, was
still unsettled at noon. and the market
was inclined to await the receipt of the
New York opening prices before entering
on fresh commitments. Dealers do not
anticipate any trouble at the settlement
owing to the smallness of the account
open. British holders have been unload
ing Americans for some time.

WILD DAY ON CHANGE
NATIONAL BANKS WEATHER
FINANCIAL STORM.

NEW YORK. October 23.-In the finan-
cial district yesterday there was a ten
dency to put the blame for the present
| trouble among the trust companies upon
| the republican party After the life in
| surance investigation there was demand
| on the legislature for an investigation of
| trust companies.
| The late Gov. Higgins and republican
powers in the legislature stopped the
| movement partially to protect ex-Superin-
tendent Kilburn of the banking depart
ment. In place of an investigation. which
would have Strengthened out the tangle.
| the legislature passed a law providing
| for Is per cent reserve fund. That
this reserve does not protect has just
| been demonstrated.
Wall street was alive with rumors that
! other trust companies were in such con-
| dition that they could not afford to rescue
| the Knickerbocker; that Thomas Ryan
| had come under the ban of the clearing
house committee and was to be forced
out of banking, as was Morse. HeinZe,
the Thomases and Barney
This rumor finally took definite form in
report that Mr.. Ryan had been asked
to withdraw from the Morton Trust Com
pany. There followed a run of slight
dimensions on that institution shortly be-
fore the closing hour. 1t was handled
without trouble.
Morton Speaks for Ryan.
Levi P. Morton, the venerable president
of the Morton Trust Company, who spent
full day in the financial district for
the first time in months, was sufficiently
worried by disquieting reports to issue
this formal statement:
THE story in circulation that Mr.. Ryan
has resigned or intends to resign as vice
president of the Morton Trust Company
Is pure invention. Mr.. Ryan has not re-,
signed and has no intention of doing so.
1t has never been discussed or even sug-
gested."
Mr. Ryan made many trips yesterday
from his Office in the Morton Trust Com
pany, to the Office of Valentine p. Snyder.
president of the National Bank of Com
merce. He made one trip without his
hat. waving off interviewers as he hur-
ried along.
I've heard nothing of it," he said when
asked II he was going to quit his banking
directOrates.
George B. Cortelyou. Secretary of the
Treasury. came from Washington In the
early evening. He had a conference with
Hamilton Fish, assistant treasurer here,
over the disposition of the $6OOO.OO0
which Washington Is sending to relieve
the situation. They also discussed the
| need of more money.
At the Manhattan Hotel he received j.
Pierpont Morgan. who was accompanied
by several of his banking associates. He
had other conferences over the telephone
and had promised a statement before 60
ing to bed.

purchased jointly with Marsden ]. Perry

to whom the railroad had been sold. He
denied that the road had been sold to the
Rock Island interests.
Clearing House Certificates,
1t was said last night by man In GLOBE
touch with the affairs of the Treasury
Department that New York was the only
city that was feeling the financial panic.
1t was said that the money which was
sent around the country several months
ago to tide over the depression Of the
money market due to the moving of the
crops was being used in tidfng the BAN ks
over the crisis, and that the trouble
would spread no further than this city,
