CONFIDENCE RESTORED
big Finsnciers, With the Help Of Uncle
Sam Avert Catastrophe in
WAL Street

There was sharp turn In financial
affairs in New York late Wednesday.
renewed confidence ia local banking
institutions taking the place of the
panicky feeling that has threatened
solvent houses and demoralized the
stock exchange for the past few days.
After prolonged conferences at j. p.
Morgans office an organization of the
presidents of New York trust compa-
MES was affected Il was in the ma
ture Of a protective combination. All
of the leading and admittedly conserv-
alive trust companies participated A
resolution unanimously adopted pro-
vided for an examination of the vari-
Gus trust companies and report Of
their funds and recommendation to
the association.
At the same time, and even more i'm
portant, the secretary of the treasury,
having satisfied himself as to the con-
dition Of the New York banks, author
lied an announcement that he had di-
rected that government deposits be
placed in the banks to the extent OF
twenty-five millions These two meas
ures are admittedly adequate for all
the needs of the banking and trust
corporations Of New York in the pres
ent emergency.
Secretary Cortelyou's official state
ment is as follows:
Il have said to a number Of gentle
men who called on me today that any
statement to the public regarding con-
ditions here should be made with the
utmost frankness that depositors and
others interested in the banks might
realize that entire reliance might be
placed in it. Those familiar with the
facts have known that the situation
was made serious largely because Of
the circulation of unfounded rumors
and unreasoning anxiety of many who
thought only for the moment.
ITO pass safely through such day
AZ this one, one of the most unnecessa-
ry excitement as 1t has been, is the
best evidence of strength and support
on the part Of those who nave under
taken the difficult task of re-estabHsh.
ing public confidence. Wherever there
Is weakness, and it has been in but
a comparatively few instances, strong
and able men are rendering aid. and
in behalf of the treasury department
may say that l believe it my duty
TO do what l can do and l shall do
in the largest possible way whatever
may be necessary to afford relief
AS evidence OF the treasury's posi-
ton, / have directed deposits in this
city to be made to the extent Of $25,
100000"
After the close of the stock market
Mann, Bill and Ware, the principal
brokers in call money, made the fol.
lowing statement:
Throughout the exciting scenes on
the stock exchange today large sums
OF money on call were loaned by the
First National Bank, the National City
Bank and the Hanover National Bank.
These banks sent in sums ranging
from 100000 to $5,OO0,OO0 at times
when the tension was greatest in an
effort to relieve the situation At 2
o'clock the first named bank sent in
one block Of S5,OOO.OOO, which was
distributed among the eager borrow
ers."
