circulation in order to meet the pressure for currency was the dramatic movement of nearly $106,000.000 in gold from Europe within a period of about six weeks The enormous movement of gold was facili- tated by the sharp arrest of imports of luxuries and a combined effort by pro- ducers, railways and bankers to ship promptly to Europe the large crops of cotton, wheat and other farm products of the autumn season. Imports of mer- chandise, which had been as much as S125,SO6, 043 in August, fell to an average of about $109,000,O00 for the next three months, ending with $110 7S9, ,1O9 for No- vember. Exports of merchandise, on tho other hand, which had been as low as sl27,270, 447 in August, advanced to $780, 256,OS5 in October and $204, ,360 in No- vember.
 From another source the volume of currency in circulation was swollen by the increase of deposits of public money in the banks from s1S1, 70OO53 on June 3O, to $259, 9,S51 ,004 on December 26 This in- crease of about SIS. .00O0O0 had been part ly deposited in the banks prior to the panic.
 Hoarded Money Coming Out
 While much of this currency dsap- peared into hoards during the panic, it's reappearance in times of comparative in- activity, it is feared, may be accompanied by speculation in the stock market and an outward movement of gold in the spring.
 One of the incidents of the period of de- cline in bank reserves has been fall in the. market value of silver bullion. Silver has drifted down to "A 7-16 pence, not far above the lowest point touched in it's history, 22 11-16 pence, in December. 1902, and January, 1903. Thus the old year ends with prices of commodities and securities much lower than at this time a year ago, and with liquidation latgGy advised in the banking field if not in the field of commodities. The great stock of currency absorbed during, the period of panic is returning to tie banks, and the action just taken by the Secretary of the Treasury to recall a part of the deposits of public money in the banks will tend to check the outward movement of gold which in some quarters is expected with in the next few months. The financial structure of the country has stood the strain with only limited number of se- rious disasters, and will enter upon the new year under much stronger and safer conditions than it began the old year.

suspensions at that time were about 160 in the three months of June, July and August, although S4 banks afterwards resumed business. The number Of na- tional bank suspensions hardly equalled dozen during the recent panic. the most important being that of the Ma tional Bank of Commerce of Kansas City. The permanent effect upon the national banking system of the scarcity of capital and collapse of various business enter prises has not yet been revealed, but there are no indications that it will be so severe after the panic of 1893, when the number of national banks declined from 3S54 on June l, 1893, to 35S3 on April 1, 1S99 and the capital declined from $69S 665 on June l, 1893, to a minimum of $607, 41s,045 on October l, 1899. Great progress has been made in tke number and capitalization of national banks in the succeeding eight years. largely as the result of the gold standard law of March IA, 1900, which permitted the incorpora- tion of banks with a minimum capital of $25 900, and changed the terms upon which circulation might be issued.
 Increase of Banks.
 The number of national banks incor- porated from March 14, 1900, to November 30, 1907 was 3692 of which 24O1 were Nf capital less than s5O0O0, and 1291 were of the capital required under the previous law. The increase in small banks did not affect the amount of capital so much as 1t affected the number of institutions, the combined capital of tho small banks be- ing s62, ,627, 800 while that of the new banks with capital of s50,O00 or more each amounted to $152, ,767, 800. The number of banks on November 30, 1907, after allow ing for mergers and liquidations, was G655, and their authorized capital was $9l0,- 609 775. Thus, since the latter part of 1899 the number of national banks has increased by more than 3O00 more than 80 per cent, while their capital has in- creased by about s303, ,000,000, almost exactly 50 per cent National bank cir culation has increased even more rapidly than banking capital. It touched the minimum of recent years in 1891. when the total amount outstanding at the begin ming of July was s157,927,574 There was Q gradual but slow increase during the next eight years, which brought the amount at the beginning of the year 1900 up to S246,2 277. .2332 Then came rapid ex- pansion under the act of March IA, 1900, which carried the circulation by January, 1905 to Si64,794 156. As soon as the panic broke on November 1, 1907, the total bank circulation was s6o9, ,980 466. The measures then taken by Secretary Cortelyou to promote circulation resulted in an in-' crease of about 900 during the next seven weeks, so that the circulation stood on December 21, 1907. at s6s3, 795,923
