Mr.. Dear Mr.. Cortelyou-I congrar-
ulate you upon the admirable way in
which you have handled the recent
crisis. | congratulate also those con
servativs and substantial business men
who in this crisis have acted with such
wisdom and public spirit. By their
action they did invaluable service I'm
checking the panic. which. beginning
as a matter Of speculation, was threat
ening to destroy the confidence and
credit necessary TO the conduct OF fe-

siders calmly can question that tho
underlying conditions which make NJ
our financial and our industrial we'll
being are essentially sound and honest
Dishonest dealing and speculative Ell
terprises are merely the occasional in
cidents of our real prosperity. The &C.
ton taken by you and by the business
men in question has been of the ut-
most consequence. and has secured o.
portunity for the calm consideration
which must inevitably produce entire
confidence In our business conditions
Faithfully yours.

A Wise Preeaution.

Denvcr.-Thc Denver clearing
house banks (and that means all the
Denver banksD determined TO act IN
harmony with practically all the banks
Of the country In stopping the pay
mcnt OF currency on checks and drafts
until November 5tL. unless the old or
der OF things shuIld be sooner re-
stored. The step was taken by the
Denver banks quite reluctantly ana
only when they were notified from the
other cities that the action had been
definitely resolved upon the Denver
banks must govern themselves ac'
cordingly.
The resolution unanimously adopted
by the Denver hanks was to the erect
that. commencing Monday morning
and continuing unto November 9TH,
Denver banks will not pay cash on
checks drawn by anyone nor upon
drafts drawn by outside banks. There
is but one exception 10 MS rue
Checks drawn by depositors to meet
regular payroils will he honored as
usual In gold or currency. All "lher
checks will he received and paid III

This means that depositors will 20

or others, and be deposited. and the
accounts of dcposltors will be cred
tied with the amounts. The checks
will be cleared at the clearing mouse
lust as before. and settlements mad"

certificates instead of currency.
Drafts made upon Denver banks by
outside banks will be treated in pre-.
cisclv the same way. Such drafts VIII
be honored by exchange on other
cities. If desired. as usual. or they Will

The only change in business under
this rule will be that currency Will

ing house certificates taking the place
of currency for the time being. In eV-
| ery other respect business Will pro
ceed without halt or inconvenience OF
any kind.
The banks that communicated their
| intention to the Denver banks through
the respective clearing houses were
| those of Chicago, st. Louis. Milwau'
kee Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Cleveland,
Philadelphia. Des Moines. Omaha.
New York. Minneapolis. Indianapolis
and Kansas City: and In each case
they notified the Denver clearing
house that the step had been defnitel!
resolved upon.
The effect Of this action by the out
| side banks was TO cut of not only the
Denver banks. but all others from oo
tanning in currency the money they
had on deposit in them. Under the
banking law all national banks are
REQUIRED to have en- deposit in central
reserve banks. a certain percentage
| or course. this was intended to be al
ways available for drafts made upon
It Denver banks could not do bust
ness with Eastern or other banks or
issue drafts upon them without de-
posits there to meet them. BY the ac'
ton SO generally taken by the banks
of the country these deposits are not
now available in currency. but are In
clearing house certificates.
Denver. banks will honor drafts IN
precisely the same way that their
drafts upon their deposits will be hon
ored by Eastern oanks.
