URGES BANKERS TO
SEND CASH TO WEST
SECRETARY CORTELYOu EXERT.
ING ALL HIS INFLUENCE TO
AID THE WEST.
HELP TO MOVE GRAIN CROP
ARE MADE TO
PLACE TRADE ON A NORMAL
BASIS.

Washington, Nov 13.-While there
is an increasing degree of confidence
among the officials of the treasury
that the situation in the monetary
world is soon to improve materially,
they are not prepared to demonstrate
conclusively that they have positive
assurances to that effect.
Secretary Cortelyou is in constant
communication with the bankers and
leading financiers of the East and
West, and yesterday he announced
that he is exerting all the influence he
can bring to bear TO induce banks III
New York to forward cash to the
Western banks, that their acquisitions
be honored out OF their reserve on de-
post in New York.
Conditions improving.
The secretary believes that condi-
tons have SO greatly improved that
the New York banks holding cash as
the central reserve agents of the
Wesetrn banks should be able to meet
requests for cash payments.
This is what the secretary is urging
shall be done and he is confident that
his wishes in this respect will be met
by the central reserve banks in New
York and that the banks in the West
em centers where the tightness or
money is severely felt will be helped
out from this time forward. 1t is in
timated that the secretary has other
plans for helping to improve the sltua-
ton, but he declines to discuss the
subject or to say in advance when ne
can be expected to make public the
details of any plans which he may
evolve to that end.
Help Grain Trade.
Sioux City, Iowa, Nov. l3.-Gra1n
checks will be in circulation through
out the towns and surrounding coun-
try and will be accepted as cash by
iobbers as well as merchants and
small business houses, beginning
Thursday morning. Thirty banks have
agreed to support the plan.
1.-THE plan has been in operation
four days in the Northern territory,
and the grain has started to move"
said j. L. MaCaull of Minneapolis,
chairman of yesterdays meeting.
" and there has been no complaint
from any quarter. We do not expect
that there will be any extraordinary
movement of grain as a result OF this
plan. but we expect normal market,
which will prove a great relief to the
present financial situation
