CABINET TALKS FIN1NCE
Total Of Relief Deposits Made by
Secretary COrtClHOu.

Washington Oct 29.-President Roosevelt was IN
conference with the members of his Cabinet TOT
more than hours to-day. The hnanclal sltua-
lion was under consideration.
Secretary Cortelyou shares the view that tile
general money situation throughout the country
and especially in New York. is steadily improving
Although he is averse TO making any public state
rnent on the subject II is known that he views the
situation with far greater equanimity than at any
time during the last ten days. From the hrst ne
has realized that the gravest consequences might
result from a general impairment of public conil-
dence In the financial institutions of the country
through ignorance of their status. and he has not
hesitated 10 make immediate use OF the great re-
sources Of the United States Treasury 10 check the
apprehension manifested last week
During the last seven days he has deposited in
the national banks a sum approXmating S5ooco'-
COO and since early in September. when he began
his weekly distributions nearly S7oO0o0oo has been
deposited. which brings the amount of public funds
now in the national banks up 10 more than S2l5.-
of which bout $2 800 900 has been deposited
TO the credit of government disbursing officers
During President Cleveland's first term large
amounts Of public funds deposited in the ma
tonal banks for the declared purpose Of relieving
the Treasury Of a burdensome surplus but never
before in the history Of the country have such
large sums been placed with depositary banks 10
avert threatened trouble in times of unusual dis
turbance IN the financial centres.
It was decided that all members Of the Cabinet

COOPERATION AMONG RAILROADS

The Traffic Club of New York met in the ball
room of the Hotel Astor last night to hear a paper
read by @. G. Mccain, the commissioner of
the Trunk Line Association of New York Mr. Nc
Gains subject The Utility OF Traffic Assocla-
uOns." He said part:
The competitive conditions which are found
a great extent eliminated through state ownership
lie for the freest possible interchange of products
through traffic has into existence in this
country. The theory under which the Interstate
commerce law was framed contemplated main
tenance OF the independent existence OF railway
corporations as they are constituted.
The attitude of the public more recently is we'll
known, and we may assume that the position
taken by the Interstate Commerce Commission
Tectly reflects the publc's interest in the matter
The commission has frequently approved a propo-
sition to permit carriers to cooperate through
traff1c associations, and of its annual reports
omciaiiy said that in justice to all parties I'VE
ought probably to add that il is difficult to
how our interstate railways could be operated
without due regard to the interests the shipper
and and the railway without concerted action of the
kind offered through these associations
We may go further and refer to President Roose-
yelts utterances. and particularly To his speech
Decoration Day at Indianapolis Notwithstanding
this admitted usefulness OF associations, the
riers are at present in the apparently anomalous
position of being subject technically at least
laws opposed To this species of cooperative work.
