Intrinsic Value OF American Staples 10
Beyond the Reach Of Financial
DISTRICT, and General i'm
provcment In Finances 10
Bound TO Come.

New York.--The enormous In
fiuence which American products are
exertlng in building up credit bal.
ance abroad has been the most signal
development OF the financial situation
this week Reports from all quarters
show that the great American staples
wheat. cotton. copper. tobacco, oil.
meats--nre on their way TO Europe.
this being the season OF the year
when American products are market
ed abroad. The immediate effect of
these shipments IL To give the United
States credit abroad. which can be
speedily converted into cash. These
natural resources Of the country
promise TO exert even greater iniiu-
cnce than the sale OF American Sc
curlties abroad The latter have to
some extent suffered discredit under
recent pressure, but the intrinsic
value OF American staples used
abroad, and their colossal aggregate
at this ported OF the year, is beyond
the reach OF financial dlstrust.
Runs upon the banks OF the coun'
try are practically over. Persons
who present large checks and ask Tor
their payment in currency are Invited
to consult the bank officials. In cases
where their need for currency Ii evil
IDENTITY legitimate they usually receive
II; In cases where 1t is sought for
boarding. they are usually convinced
that money Is better OF In the baak
or that they should accept certified
checks for deposit elsewhere.
Comparative calm reigns among
New York bankers. They all realize
that the pressure for money IL not
over, but they feel generally that I'M
reasoning panic Is at an end and they
will be able To meet all reasonable
demands for currency. These de-
mands are coming In considerable
amounts from the west and south In
order To obtain money to move crops,
and Il Ia feared that the sections
where the movement Is largest may
be more or less hampered In their ef-
forts 10 obtain funds. The general re-
fusal to pay cash for boarding., In the
west and south as well as In New
York, 1t Is believed. will prevent the
undue absorption of currency and per
| nit the employment of what Is avail
| able In the most effective manner.
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-11-07
WORST OF CRISIS IS OVER.
Marked improvement in New York
Situation and Securities Are Higher.

New York. The principal events In
the financial district on Monday indi
Gated that the worst of the crisis was
over and that conditions were settling
down to normal. There were no fur
Their bank suspensions. and reports
were favorable for the resumption OF
most OF the banks which closed tenn
porarily last week. The engagement
of $18,750,000 In gold from Europe
for importation to New York was fol
lowed by the sensational announce
ment of sales of American copper
abroad which will further increase the
tide of foreign money 70 this country
TO an aggregate Of over $25,000,000.
This. with the rapid rise of good Sc
curlties on the stock exchange, in
some cases as much as 4 and per
cent and the policy OF the trust com
panies not to pay out currency for
boarding purposes, all contributed to
strengthen the feeling In banking
circles and among the public at large.
So well was the situation In hand that
there was no such scurrying about of
leading lnanclers and hasty confer.
ences as took place during the closing
days of last week.
