ASSURED Of
SUCCESS
MORGAN'S VISIT TO WHITE
HOUSE HELPS CONFIDENCE
Believed to Indicate Bankers
are Resolved to Cooperate
With Treasury Department
in Restoration of Prosperity,
IBy Morning Journal Special Leased wire. ]

Washington, Nov. 23.-J. +. Morgan
had a short conference with Secretary
cortelyou late this afternoon. and at
its conclusion left for New York.
Nothing was disclosed i'm regard to
the object of his visit, and ii did not
last more than fifteen minutes. Mr..
Morgan seemed to be in the best of
spirits. He remained at his ro1n at
the Arlington hotel most OF the morn
ing and received only few callers.
Postmaster General Meyer called late
i'm the forenoon with his automobile
and Mr.. Morgan left the hotel for a
time with him. His assistant. Presi-
dent Baker, of the First National
bank was at the treasury in the
morning and had conference with
Secretary COrtelyou.
A feeling OF confidence In the sue
cess OF the new loans seemed to pre-
vail at the treasury tocay and was
apparently heightened by the assur-
ances given by Mr.. Morgan of the i'm
provement of the situation in New
York. The strong rally In the stock
market and the loss Of less than one
half million in the required reserve In
New York strengthened the feeling
that confidence was returning, and
that il would be reflected in the Of
fers for the new securities issued dur
ing the week. The visit OF Mr.. Nor
gan was generally accepted among
bankers here TO mean that leading
bankers intend to cooperate with the
treasury department in making a sue
cess OF the new loans Mr.. Morgan's
views and advice have commanded
much attention. because Of his de-
tachment in a large measure from re-
cent speculative banking enterprises
in New York and the breadth of view
which his friends declare he has al
ways brought to conditions like the
present Mr.. Morgan has long favor
ed some modification OF the eXisIng
currency system, but has not under
taken to prepare any detailed plan Of
his own He found Secretary Cortei-
you in accord with him that several
steps should be taken to give greater
elasticity to circulation and to restore
confidence. but did not insist strongly
upon any one Of the several measures
which are now under discussion.
The new treasury certificates OF IN
debtedness have already made their
appearance in the treasury as security
and circulation Additional bank
notes TO the amount Of two million
dollars based on the new certificates,
were shipped TO New York this after
noon. and large shipments are IN
sight for early In the coming week.
Among the engagements Is one Of
81 SOC. 900 which has been made ~
Vice President Wexler. Of the Whitney
Central National bank Of New or
leans. acting for several other New
Orleans banks. The totaf shipments
Of additional circulation taken out
since November / b. now about $780,
100000. II is understood that Secrc-
tary C0rtelyou Is making aliotmenss
Of the new certificates to individual
national banks in New york. which
fact l. assumed to mean that the sec
retary and the banks Themselves Ia
vored the plan rather than action
