TO MOVE THE CROPS
GOVERNMENT WILL SUPPLY THE
NECESSARY FUNDS.
a
Large Deposits To Be Made
With Banks in Weekly Install
ments, and Actual Stringency
Will Not Be Awaited-Cortel-
you Makes Statement.

New York, Aug. 24.-Secretary of
the TREASURY Cortelyou announces
that beginning next week he will place
each week in New York, Boston and
such other places other cities as he
sees tit, deposits Of government funds
In sufficient quantities to prevent
money stringency or possible panic
during the crop moving period. Sec
rotary Cortelyou plans to prevent q
panic rather than come to the rescu 9
OF the market when the market is &C.
tually in trouble. The period of gov
eminent relief will extend over q per-
iod of at least five weeks.
For these deposits the law allows
Secretary Cortelyou the use of all
customs funds, and IL these are in
sufficient he will augment thems from
the treasury balnce. The secretry
hopes to prevent spectators from
taking advantage Of the situation
by not announcing in advance 1.-THE
amounts to be deposited. He believes
the plan will do much to prevent a
gold movement in Europe.
Plan of Secretary
Secretary Oortelyou announced
today that, beginning with next week,
the treasury department will make
each week, for period of not less
than five weeks, deposits in national
banks at New York, Boston, Chicago
and other points, the security required
to be approved state, municipal and
railroad bonds acceptable under the
existing requirements of the depart
ment, with the understanding that if
called for such deposits shall be re-
turned after January 1, next, in in
stallments to he fixed by the secretary
of the treasury.
'This action is to meet the CONNER
cial and industrial needs of the coun-
try at this season, and it is believed
to be preferable to waiting until a
time Of actual stringency, whom the
only alternative would be large gen.
eral deposit. The latter policy, the
secretary says, is to be superseded by
one that will have as it's ultimate OBJ
ject the adjustment of operations Of
the treasury department as rapidly as
may be practicable under existing law,
in such manner as shall preclude their
being in any sense factor in the bus
mess world''
Secretary Cortelyou gives no credit
to any of his Wall street friends for
helping work out this installment
plan. The banks can hardly object to
the liberal terms on which the govern
ment's money is offered to them. Un-
der the existing law they have to pay
no interest on emergency deposits and
the government does not have to be
repaid in lump.
