month. The membership committee show
that the clubs only source of income
is the 81 a month paid by each member,
and its effectiveness as an organization
is at a standstill unless more money can
be raised. They argue that the club
is doing the best work in its history in
getting conventions and new Industries
and boosting Birmingham generally, but
If the work is to be enlarged with the
growing demands of Birmingham, more
members must be obtained.
Chairman Ferguson has called the mem

new members will be discussed.

The man after getting connection with

the department and it's environments in

can teach the New York financial
men that they are not dependent On
them as much as they had supposed
And, briefly stated, it was the stock
jobbing by such men as Heinze the
Copper King of Montana, that
brought on the present condition Of
affairs throughout the country.
When one man can create such a
furry in the great financial market
of New York and thereby cause the
effect to be felt all over the country
it is time that the people should get
together and show that they will
not allow a panic to approach. The
result can be attained simply by 60
ing ahead and doing business in the
same way as always: by doing just
as much. as is possible with checks
and drafts, and leaving all surplus
in the banks to be distributed where
it is most needed-Quincy Quill.

The Money Question.

There is very decided money
! stringency in New York City, which
place controls about. one-fourth of
the money in the country, and there
are some who predict hard times are
onus. The fact is that the state of
Washington has more money than
ever before in it's history, and is en-
joying greater prosperity than ever
before. Business is being transact
ed as usual by checks and drafts.
but the banks of the state and the
whole country are holding the cash
they have except for urgent bust
ness needs. In Spokane, Seattle
Il and Wenatchee the banks are paying
sums up to $40. In Quincy, how
ever, the local banks have set no
limit on the amount which they will
pay, although they wish the people
to do as much business as possible
with checks and drafts and use as
little cash as possible. The banks
here have in actual cash in their
vaults upwards of $4,000, which Is
an excellent reserve supply for a
town of this SIZE We are informed
by the banks that as matter of
fact $500 or even less is a suffi-
cient supply for the business of the
community under ordinary condi-
lions.
Several days ago New York City
made known the fact that they
would ship no more cash to the
banks which had deposit accounts
with them. To protect themselves
and their depositors the banks in the
other parts of the country imme-
diately did the same thing, and now
little money is available for the
banks here either from Spokane or
Seattle. 1t is not, however, from
any financial instability that the
banks are limiting cash payments,
but simply because they can get no
cash elsewhere and do nN wish to
see their present supply drift into
the other towns to supply others
needs. Let every one remember this
and keep Quincy money in Quincy,
until the banks in the east commence
shipping money to relieve the situa-
ton.
The statements of the local banks
printed in the Quill show remark
ably strong condition. They have al
most enough Immediately available
assets. to supply all the demands of
their depositors. A condition which
perhaps could not be found in any
two small town banks elsewhere. In
addition to this they have assets
far above their deposits, SO that no
one need fear any chance of loss,
and if the people Of Quincy will
, work in harmony with the banks
we will feel no effects of the eastern
! stringency. This is the way the
other towns and cities of the north
west are doing, and everyone feels
confident that New York will right
itself shortly, and will be the only
one to suffer any results from their
own speculations and stock gam
