South's Confidence mistaken.

Discussing some phases Of the none
tary situation at New Orleans and
throughout the South, Mr.. Wexler said
There has been no evidence of any
want of confidence in banks and fnan-
cial institutions anywhere in the
South. but Southern banks, owing to
their inability to obtain currency from
New York, Chicago or st. Louis-tlie
three reserve cities-have been COM
PEELED to restrict payments OF cash.
and in order to facilitate their BUSH
ness. they have adopted the same
courses as other large centres. OF issu-
ing clearinghouse certificates.
THE chief difficulty at the present
time is in obtaining a sufficient amount
of small bills and fractional currency
to facilitate the rapid movement of
the cotton and sugar crops. but with
hearty cooperation among planters
and interior banks the difficulty is
being overcome. and easier conditions
are anticipated in the near future.
