The Situation--FOIIy-Panic-
Ignorance.

Mr.. Editor
The real financial situation is
strongly stated. in "Roach's Fl
nancial Facts, under date of Oct
25th, inst. Ist. Editorially Mr..
John D. Rockefeller is quoted as
follows ''I think that the exist
! ing alarm among investors is not
warranted and 1 hope the good
common sense of our American peo-
pie will control the situation" In
stead of Withdrawing any of my
moneys from the banks, I am CO.
operating with others in helping to
meet that which 1 firmly believe to
be only temporary crisis"
2nd. The Secretary of the Treas
ury has placed SIS, 1000, 900 with
New York National Banks to re-
lieve the situation, with prom
ise that more would be deposited if
necessary"
3rd. Mr.. J. P. Morgan has, as
stated in the daily papers, deposit
ed SIS, 900, 900 in New York Banks
In cooperation with the Secretary
of the Treasury for the same pur-
pose. That he and Mr.. Rockefeller
are keeping faith is shown in the
letter addressed by Mr.. Roosevelt
to the Secretary of the Treasury,
in which he commends the course
of the two above named gentlemen,
along with other eminent fnan-
ciers.
4th. There is now an enormous
cash balance of over $237,772, 900
in the Treasury, and half of this
amount can be deposited in Nation
al Banks temporarily without Grip
pling the Treasury in the slightest
degree. All the aid necessary will
be extended to the banks, as Pres
Ident Roosevelt will take heroic
measures to prevent a commercial
panic. "
5th. AS merely precautionary
the banks all over the
country are limiting withdrawal of
deposits from banks by fixing max
imum amount of check which will
be actually honoFed, until the press
has passed and public confidence
has been restored. This step, in
stead of endangering the interests
of depositors, is actually protective
of them.
The foregoing. then, makes ap-
parent the true financial condition,
and shows the true situation. It |
shows fully the lack of foundation
for the attack on cotton values.
Still stronger it shows the folly of |
casting what we have on the mark
ct, in response to idle panic cried |
ON by those who do not stop to
think or who do not try to get at
